    The main hook in Black Future '88 is enough to recommend it to roguelike fans who want something a little different from the norm. There's a nice balance between trying to be thorough about collecting everything and rushing to make the most of your time, which is good enough to push most players out of their comfort zone. Those wanting something quick and different in the genre will find some joy in this title.

    As you’d hope it would in a fast-paced game like this, combat is fluid and fun. As you play you’ll unlock access to new characters that come with unique perks, new upgrades, and new weapons that will become available for selection/purchase in subsequent playthroughs. You’ll also be able to pick up equipment and resources that drop from enemies and bosses, but you can only take two weapons with you at a time.

    Neat shooter with an exceptional audiovisual style and great action, that gets too stale too soon in terms of mechanics.

    Another twin stick run and gun rouge-like that doesn't really add much to whats already out there.

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 »
