    An otherwise-charming sidescrolling shooter done in by a galling lack of effort across multiple areas. The presentation is barebones in several places with every character delivering their dialogue in the same immersion-breaking default font. Areas like the casino (which came off as a big empty barn with some slot machines and surly bartenders shoved inside) were severely lacking for anyAn otherwise-charming sidescrolling shooter done in by a galling lack of effort across multiple areas. The presentation is barebones in several places with every character delivering their dialogue in the same immersion-breaking default font. Areas like the casino (which came off as a big empty barn with some slot machines and surly bartenders shoved inside) were severely lacking for any sort of artistic polish. Dialogue is unskippable, which isn't an issue until you get to the severe difficulty spike at the end of the game. The final boss in particular is an utter joke whose entire difficulty comes from the fact that he just doesn't take damage at times. What times? Who's to say! The developers certainly didn't make it clear, and eventually I gave up after ten times of having to read the same dumbass twist that reveals itself before the final encounter. Maybe try this game if you get it for free in a bundle or something but do not spend any amount of money on it.… Expand

    Two guys decided to mix spaghetti westerns with hip hop. It had no right to work, but despite simplicity and primitive visuals Luckslinger is pretty damn good. [10/2015, p.63]

    Fan of old-school action platformers? Then Luckslinger is probably the game for you. [Sept. 2015, p. 067]

    Luckslinger is an engaging 2D platformer with a lot of brilliant moments, wacky luck-based randomness, and a memorable hip hop Western soundtrack. You'll likely get angry a lot while playing, but you'll also feel good about yourself every time you reach the end of a level.
