    Gynoug is a 2D shooter that first came out 30 years ago but despite being a very competent game with a tough and demanding difficulty level, it has received very little attention as far as re-releases go.

    Gynoug hasn’t quite got that special extra spark that turns a great game into a spectacular one, but even so it’s still a unique and thoroughly enjoyable thirty-year-old shmup capable of standing proudly next to any other sold on the eShop, and yet another affordable retro re-release sitting in that perfect middle ground between modern convenience and hardcore authenticity.

Può infastidire chi odia le sfide, ma dopotutto è bello in tutta la sua crudeltà. Poi, se non fa per voi, potete sempre utilizzare le nuove opzioni messe da Ratalaika Games.

    Comunque resta il fatto che è molto piacevole da giocare e bello da vedere in tutto il suo splendore. Ciònonostante quel che pecca è che questo piacere dura poco. La presenza di soli 6 livelli non permette un rialzo del livello di rigiocabilità e magari l’aggiunta di qualcosa di nuovo avrebbe potuto risolvere questo problema. Ma comunque, se siete alla ricerca di un gioco di vecchio stampo che vi metta i bastoni tra le quote, potete comprare Gynoug senza problemi. Tra l’altro il suo prezzo, come già detto, è troppo basso. Quindi non c’è da spendere un capitale per poterci giocare.    … Full Review »

Forgoing the futuristic sci-fi aesthetics most shooters aim for, the very organic and sometimes a bit grotesque sights you’ll encounter here are both distinctive and memorable. Unfortunately the general flow of things isn’t quite as unique, but I’d say the more middle of the road than average difficulty may also help make it more approachable then, though getting no real direction on what the power-ups are can make runs early on feel more trial and error than it probably should be. Still, if you’re a big fan of retro shooters or are simply eager to see a game that pointed in a very non-traditional direction and decided to go all in on making the most of itself this is definitely worth a look.
