Aside from being fun, Panzer Arena makes me feel like I’m playing with my military Micro Machines again.

There is a fair bit of use to the time-stopping ability that stops it from feeling like a gimmick and I’m happy to see they struck that note just right.

Maybe it’s the “pixelated Metroidvania” aspect of the game, but I felt right at home.

You don’t need to be familiar with the classic Rampart game (even though you should), you just need to have a desire for fun while blowing things up.

“… wherever you are, whoever’s face your blade meets, it’s still a joy to kill all of the things and that fact helps me gloss over a lot of the issues I have with the game.”

I love the aesthetics, but hate the barbed wire. If you’re up for a platforming challenge… here you go!

Element: Space delivers where a few others haven’t in the same genre. With a good narrative and good looking aesthetics (and checkpoints), I think we’ve got a winner here.

What is here is impressive and if the whole game holds up what this first chapter has built, it’s going to be an awesome ride.

In the grim dark future, there is only loot. To get said loot, one must travel through dungeons and reek chaos and death up on evil baddies until you beat the loot out of them! This seems about right.
