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

    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.

    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.

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

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 »
