Damn, thereās so many good retro side-scrollers nowadaysā¦ Which ones would you guys and gals itt recommend? (No Souls-likes please, I donāt like those) Iām lost in the sea of these games. All I know is that that game I linked, The Messenger, turned out really well. But I want to know what you all think is the best
Odallus is the best one.

Thanks for the suggestions! Will try those out and see what sticks
So I just bought ZeroRanger on Steam
Steam says I played it for 44 minutes and I can already tell you: this game is SO good!
I love so much about it that thatās a huge mega post of its own. Thanks to ChimeraJoe for bringing this to my/our attention. I see that 5 sbers already bought it. Thatās not enough. You owe it to yourself to get this. This just might be videogame history in the making. Iād already put this up there with Ikaruga and CRS68k. If the rest of the game lives up to the first couple of stages then, yeah, weāve got a new contender.
Itās so well designed. From the aesthetics to the soundtrack to the gameplay. Itās just great. I love the eight-fold path references. I love how stage two is a love letter to that one Ikaruga stage and at the same time better than that stage. (Iām talking about my least favorite Ikaruga stage here. I think itās 2 or 3. The one where you have to dodge a lot of structuresā¦ The sloooow stage. This one here is fast and brutal. It made me say oh shit and fuuuck and nooo and whoa, slow down and all sorts of stuff. Been a while since I last vocalized so much while playing a videogame alone.)
I love how touching a structure isnāt immediate death. Gives the whole game a more tangible feel.
I love the āprogression systemā in this.
I love how much choice it gives you on how and what to play. And Iām far from even having unlocked everything.
About the challenge level: If youāre looking for an ass blasting this game is going to provide.
Verdict at this point: go get it
Iāll make sure to give it a review on Steam as well, after I played it enough. You should too!

Just wait until you see the third stage. Itās my favorite one (of those Iāve reached so far).
Iād second the recommendation. ZeroRanger is excellent. I have not yet made it through that part with the short stages that you have to complete in a random order. I assume thatās near the end.

Oh yeah, I now know what you mean!
I think I got to stage 5 but thatās somehow not a stage you can select to go to. Maybe I misread that and itās still part of 4? I donāt think so however
heck.

Btw we should post our ZeroRanger high scores in the Hi-scores thread, so long as there are no Steam leaderboards

Donāt worry, it sucks pretty badly from all Iāve seen. I donāt think theyāll get you with this one!
Fallout already sucks, so they must have messed up pretty badly that even its fans are seeing it this time.
