  • Rush Rover – Switch

    RetroFaith.net favourites Ratalaika Games have presented another great budget shooter in Rush Rover.

  • Immortal planet – Switch

    We love a tough game at the Retro Faith offices. Anything from hard to defeat foes, real head scratching puzzles or just full on endurance. You will find all these in Immortal Planet from teedoubleuGAMES. Tough games are great as long as they’re fair. Dark Souls is a great example, tough as nails but makes…

  • Rack ‘N Ruin – Switch

    Rack ‘N Ruin appears to be a simple top-down Zelda clone at the outset but soon starts to show its own charms. German based publisher, Secret Item Games, could have taken the easy route and copied the Zelda template. But although this title borrows a lot from Nintendo’s classic, Rack ‘N Ruin comes into its…

  • Delta Squad – Switch

    We are a big fan of twin-stick shooters at the Retro Faith offices. Our gushing over Xeno Crisis was well deserved and we have another for review on the Switch. Delta Squad, from publisher Ratalaika Games, was released in November 2019 and boasts 50 missions over five levels. You can play on your own or…

  • Farabel – Switch

    Turn based time travelling has landed in the form of Farabel. Developed by Frogames and released by Dreagus Games and Goblinz in December 2019. This budget title includes thirteen levels accompanied by survival and single scenario modes. It is surprisingly tricky in places and features an interesting time control mechanic. Farabel appears simple at first…
