    Black Future '88 is a challenging platformer that features a huge variety of weapons, characters, and skills. But the gameplay is too repetitive and it gets tedious very quickly.

    Another roguelike 2D action game, this time set in a cyberpunkworld. Not the best in its genre, but still a good download option.

    The lack of variety and a failure to really stand out among the stiff competition hamstrings Black Future ‘88.

    Black Future '88 is a fast paced, dynamic and accurate Run & Gun but truly lacks of content and gets sometimes too challenging and repetitive due to the timed runs.

Sure, the aesthetic is nice along with the music and sound, but the game-play has been done to death. Co-op is nice, yes, but I can name a lot of other games that do it better that are worth your time and money. Only grab if you are a big big fan of the genre looking for something new. Full Review »
