Diablo 2 Resurrected

There are some old games that are still played today a lot. Some of them are still popular. Like Super Mario Bros, first Mortal Kombat series, Metroid 8-16bit, Megaman, Legend of Zelda, Heroes of Might and Magic III, Age of Empires 2, Starcraft 2, Final Fantasy 7, Baldur’s Gate II, Fallout 2, Doom 2 which is a meme now to be launched on all kinds of electronic devices, and so on.

And one of such games is Diablo 2. There are also various custom quests made by enthusiasts. So people who are not enough of original can look for custom quests.

Sometimes developers see the benefits and making a remaster of a game. Like it happened with Duck Tales from NES, for example.

Diablo 2 Resurrected is a remaster of the original game. Co-developed by Blizzard Entertainment and Vicarious Visions.

Here is the trailer shown ot E3 2021:

Metal Slug Tactics – Reveal trailer

I hope everyone knows Metal Slug series. If you don’t know – it’s a great run ‘n gun platformer. I think one of the best in this kind of games.

Leikir Studio taking the visuals and place them into a different genre – a dynamic tactical RPG with roguelike elements. There are a lot of nice tactical games on SEGA, SNES, GBA. So this idea seems a nice blend of retro and more modern roguelikes type of games.

The trailer mostly shows a nice anime scenes. Not much of gameplay. But from what it does show we can see that the pixelart is good.

Cyber Shadow Story Trailer

Yacht Club Games posted new Cyber Shadow Story Trailer. What interesting about this game that it seems heavily inspired by Solbrain(A.K.A. Shatterhand) and Yami no Shigotonin Kage (A.K.A. Shadow of the Ninja / Blue Shadow). But people compare it to other games like Ninja Gaiden, Shinobi, The Messenger and so on. It means that Natsume’s games was not that popular. And I am happy to see there is some kind of revival.

I even wanted to write a review of Solbrain (A.K.A. Shatterhand), but didn’t. In short I can say that the game had amazing potential. And it was quite close to it. The main problem was in the level design. I think level design could be much better there. It’s still an amazing game for NES/Famicom. The other problem is that you can collect double combination of the Alpha and Beta boxes and get to the boss with super power. Then it’s piece of cake to beat any of the bosses. Making the bosses a bit pointless.

So it is great that someone is taking the potential of kinda unfairly forgotten games and continue developing it. Into a modern pixel art ninja platformer.
