Sledgehammer Reviews

Game Review of Asterix and Obelix - Slap them all. I heard of this game back in early June 2021 and was waiting for it to be released as I am a big fan of the Asterix stories. We are a bit late to the party, seeing as it was published about 3 months ago, but better late than never!

Game Review of Shadowrun on the Sega Genesis. The game came out a year after the SNES version and cannot be more different. The game is much closer to the tabletop game, but is it a good game?

Game Review of Rush'n Attack or Green Beret as it is known in Europe. Among the first ten games, I have ever played in my life; this game will always have a warm place in my heart. The game is about a special military operation into a communist Russian military base. A classic jump'n run game and a military shooter. Video contains Footage of the Arcade version of the game taken from AL82 Retrogaming Longplays The video also contains footage from Final Fantasy 13 and from the UFC 203 fight between Fabrício Werdum and Travis Browne.

Game Review of Flashback, a game by Paul Cuisset. This title came to my attention after reviewing Another World (Out of this world) in our previous episode. It is a cyberpunk classic that became the best-selling French game in history. A title that was re-released by Miroids in 2017 as a 25th-anniversary edition.

Game Review of Simple 1500s The Kickboxing or Kickboxing Knockout. A curious Playstation 1 game I came across when browsing the PS3 Playstore. While the Simple 1500 is known as a cheap, budget series with mediocre games, this game surprised me. It became my game that I was slacking off to when working on other stuff. #kickboxing #simple1500 #ps1

Game Review of Die Hard Nakatomi Plaza. A game based of one of the most influential action movies in history and the main reason Bruce Willis is the megastar he is today. I have been watching this movie for about thirty years now, almost every year around Christmas time. I discovered the video game around the time it came out, but it never really interested me enough to try and finish it, I mean back then it was Counter-Strike and Warcraft 3 time. But I do remember how happy it made me feel watching cutscenes that sound just like the movie. And since I almost ran out of retro Christmas games that fit my profile, I picked this one, so yeah enjoy! #diehard #diehardgaming #brucewillis Christmas Homecoming - Aaron Kenny

DISCLAIMER: First released on the fifth of March 2022 on YouTube. Game Review of Another World otherwise known as Out of This World. After reviewing Heart of Darkness by Eric (Éric) Chahi, I was always curious how his most famous game feels today, so I tried it out for the first time.

Game Review of Koudelka by Sacnoth's Hiroki Kikuta. Known as the prequel to the Shadow Hearts series, featuring one of the best female protagonists in any game, I ever played. It is a survival horror JRPG with a Romani/Gypsy protagonist who uses her powers to communicate with the dead. Well, watch, the video already! This game brought this channel to the hiatus between The Oni review and the Longest Journey review because I hated the script I wrote in April and I was about to go on a month-long vacation. Instead, we opted to go for the Nekketsu script (mostly ready script, kept as a filler for emergencies!). So, this is one of the many abandoned Projects brought back to life with a revised script, so I am pretty proud of this. #Koudelka #shadowhearts #jrpg Credits: Ingrid the Cockroach by Blattaphile on DeviantArt Might contain footage from Thief the Dark Project; Heart Of Darkness; Amnesia the Dark Descent; Magic & Mayhem; Urban Chaos; Dungeon Keeper; Bud Spencer and Terence Hill Slaps and Beans; Shadowrun Never Deal with a Dragon; Shadowrun SNES; TMNT Turtles in Time; Punch Club; Shadowrun Choose your enemies wisely; Eastward; Into The Pit; The Grinch; Retron 5; Omikron The Nomad Soul; Asterix and Obelix Slap them All; Another World; Flashback; Rush'n Attack; Shadowrun on the Sega Genisys; Penumbra Overture; Penumbra Black Plague; Fahrenheit Indigo Prophecy; Parasite Eve; The Heroes of Might and Magic games; Oni; Nekketsu Kakutou Densetsu; The Longest Journey; Dangerous Dave; Dangerous Dave in the haunted mansion and Bayonetta

Game Review of Dangerous Dave in the Haunted Mansion also known by the bootleg name Rooms of Doom. As ID Software was being established they published their last games for Softdisk's Gamers Edge electronic magazine. It is one of the first sidescrollers that allows smooth movements in all directions.

Sledgehammer Review of the Hyperkin RetroN 5 - a retro gaming console that can play games from the NES, SNES, FAMICOM, Super FAMICOM, Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Sega Genesis, Sega Megadrive, Sega Mastersystem, and Game Gear. The console itself is kinda becoming a retro console itself as it is becoming more difficult to buy these.

A game review of The Longest Journey by Funcom. Hailed as one of the best adventure games ever made and while I agree that it is a very good game filled with insane scenes that will make you laugh your butt off, I have some gripes with the game that I would like to address. #ThelongestJourney #Funcom #adventuregame Might contain footage from Thief the Dark Project; Heart Of Darkness; Amnesia the Dark Descent; Magic & Mayhem; Urban Chaos; Dungeon Keeper; Bud Spencer and Terence Hill Slaps and Beans; Shadowrun Never Deal with a Dragon; Shadowrun SNES; TMNT Turtles in Time; Punch Club; Shadowrun Choose your enemies wisely; Eastward; Into The Pit; The Grinch; Retron 5; Omikron The Nomad Soul; Asterix and Obelix Slap them All; Another World; Flashback; Rush'n Attack; Shadowrun on the Sega Genisys; Penumbra Overture; Penumbra Black Plague; Fahrenheit Indigo Prophecy; Parasite Eve; The Heroes of Might and Magic games; Oni; Nekketsu Kakutou Densetsu

So... I had a lot of leftovers from my game review of the longest journey. This is nothing unusual as I often have scenes that I decide to cut. A lot of times I have great content that I have to cut because it a) contains too many spoilers, b) is funny but does not fit the narrative, or c) prolongs the episode way above the 15-minute mark (preferably 12 minutes). So I decided to start a new series, that is just for cases like this. Heck, this way, I could even revisit any game I want! In this pilot episode, our main protagonist, April Ryan, is trying to get on a ship to continue her grand adventure to save the balance and the world. But things do not go too smoothly as she is blocked from going on the ship by a seemingly, sexist ship captain who won't take women on his ship. This, of course, doesn't sit well with April, and she does her best to force his will. #thelongestjourney #funcom #adventuregame #adventuregames Might contain footage from Thief the Dark Project; Heart Of Darkness; Amnesia the Dark Descent; Magic & Mayhem; Urban Chaos; Dungeon Keeper; Bud Spencer and Terence Hill Slaps and Beans; Shadowrun Never Deal with a Dragon; Shadowrun SNES; TMNT Turtles in Time; Punch Club; Shadowrun Choose your enemies wisely; Eastward; Into The Pit; The Grinch; Retron 5; Omikron The Nomad Soul; Asterix and Obelix Slap them All; Another World; Flashback; Rush'n Attack; Shadowrun on the Sega Genisys; Penumbra Overture; Penumbra Black Plague; Fahrenheit Indigo Prophecy; Parasite Eve; The Heroes of Might and Magic games; Oni; Nekketsu Kakutou Densetsu

Game Review of Dangerous Dave by John Romero. A Softdisk classic that is quite memorable. I used to play this game a lot on DOS growing up. I know many who have played it, but never met someone who actually beat it, so here we go! I recently picked up the Dangerous Dave pack on Good Old Games (GOG) for less than a Euro. Will probably also review the second game, because it is so different from the first. #idsoftware #johnromero #dangerous Music: At Doom's Gate by NML on Youtube Dark by Joel Corelitz (from the Eastward OST) Mysterious by Joel Corelitz (from the Eastward OST) Also music from the game Another World and Virtue's Last Reward Voice acting: Special thanks to Jonathan Bryan (@jbryanvo) from Fiverr.

Game review of Nekketsu Kakutou Densetsu, also known as Nekketsu Fighting Legend. Thomas came by for lunch and started eating away my month's savings. I decided that we should play a game instead and things went a little bit crazy, to say the least. I talked about the game before in my Retron 5 review and have been wanting to dive in deeper for a while now. The game takes place in the Rivercity Ransom universe and it is freaking awesome! #rivercity #rivercityransom #nekketsu #tigermask Might contain footage from Thief the Dark Project; Heart Of Darkness; Amnesia the Dark Descent; Magic & Mayhem; Urban Chaos; Dungeon Keeper; Bud Spencer and Terence Hill Slaps and Beans; Shadowrun Never Deal with a Dragon; Shadowrun SNES; TMNT Turtles in Time; Punch Club; Shadowrun Choose your enemies wisely; Eastward; Into The Pit; The Grinch; Retron 5; Omikron The Nomad Soul; Asterix and Obelix Slap them All; Another World; Flashback; Rush'n Attack; Shadowrun on the Sega Genisys; Penumbra Overture; Penumbra Black Plague; Fahrenheit Indigo Prophecy; Parasite Eve; The Heroes of Might and Magic games; Oni

Game Review of Oni on the PC and on the PlayStation 2. It is no secret I love beat'em ups that feature some Karate hottie, trying to save the world and it should be no surprise to anyone that I am an absolute fan of Oni. Probably the closest game to one of my all-time favorite Urban Chaos. Similar to Urban Chaos yet so different, as one takes place in an apocalyptic future and the other in an imaginary crime-ridden city named Union City. Oni is based on Ghost in a Shell, but still manages to be its own thing.

Game Review of Omikron: The nomad soul. A curious game I stumbled upon while browsing Good Old Games (GOG). I must say it is one of the best recent games I played. Might contain footage from Thief the Dark Project; Heart Of Darkness; Amnesia the Dark Descent; Magic & Mayhem; Urban Chaos; Dungeon Keeper; Bud Spencer and Terence Hill Slaps and Beans; Shadowrun Never deal with a dragon; Shadowrun SNES; TMNT Turtles in Time; Punch Club; Shadowrun Choose your enemies wisely; Eastward; Into The Pit; The Grinch; Retron 5; Omikron The Nomad Soul; Asterix and Obelix Slap them All; Another World; Flashback; Rush'n Attack; Shadowrun on the Sega Genisys; Penumbra Overture; Penumbra Black Plague; Fahrenheit Indigo Prophecy Youtube: The "porno": Mike Majlak Vlogs: THE NIGHT SHIFT: Lana and Logan got beef.

Game Review of Heroes of Might and Magic 1. Heroes of Might and Magic is one of my favorite video game franchises ever created. Heroes III is in my eyes one of the best games mankind had the pleasure to set eyes on and I have been playing the game for decades. I played Heroes 2-6 and am quite adept in the game. A game I never touched however, is Heroes of Might and Magic I, which I am gonna change in this Episode.

Game Review of Parasite Eve on the Playstation 1. In 1995 Japanese book author Hideaki Sena wrote a novel that carries the same name. A novel that was also made into a movie that was directed Masayuki Ochiai with an amazing soundtrack by Joe Hisaishi. The film flopped despite being a really good movie, but it was not the only adaptation to come out of the novel. In 1998 Squaresoft developed an unofficial sequel to the book that expands upon the lore. Heck, the events from the book are actually mentioned in the game and are part of the main motivation behind the antagonist's actions. I had lots more to say about the lore behind the game, but ultimately decided to stick to a time budget this time around! The game is of course influenced by the Final Fantasy battle system, the aesthetics of Resident Evil, elements from the Alien franchise, and the main protagonist is heavily influenced by Bruce Willis's John Mcclane in Die Hard #parasiteeve #squareenix #squaresoft #ps1

Sledgehammer Review channel commercial is based on the Sega CD commercial from the early 90s. The video was first released in April 2021. 1,5 years is a lifetime ago for my video editing skills, which is why this may look a little bit old and unpolished. I updated the footage with some of our more recent stuff. ENJOY!

A back-to-the-roots game review of Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy Remastered. Dr. Sledgehammer just hasn't been the same since that fateful night in the mountains. Reviewing the Penumbra Series messed him up bad and he has to deal with it, the only way he can: by inviting David Cage into his living room. Fahrenheit is an interactive movie-style of game. The name of the game is a bit sneaky and probably flew over the heads of almost everybody who played the game. Fahrenheit is a temperature unit used in the US. A curse has befallen the planet, ushering in the apocalypse. Every day the temperature gets a little bit colder until mankind freezes over. Unlucky for Mr. Cage, the movie Fahrenheit 9/11 by Michael Moore came out shortly before the game was released, which is why he added the Indigo Prophecy to the title. Anyway, enjoy the show!

Game review for Penumbra Black Plague. A couple of years ago, I got lost in a forest and discovered a tower at the top of a mountain. I found out that I was cursed and I couldn't leave before I play and review Amnesia the Dark Descent. I guess this time around, I am gonna have to review both Penumbra Overture and Penumbra Black Plague to make it outta here. #penumbra #helloweenevent #halloween2022 #amnesia

A game review and spoof of Urban Chaos with Gameplay. Urban Chaos is a beat'em up/action-adventure/open-world game from the 90s. It has probably one of the best hand to hand combat systems ever made. It is one of the games I was addicted to when growing up because the combat system is just so much fun. Apart from that, D'arci Stern is such a cool character. She was and still is one of my favorite video game characters ever.

Game Review of The Grinch on the PC (or PS1). As every child in the early 2000s, I came across this interesting Christmas title that is based on the Jim Carrey movie. Dr. Sledgehammer is celebrating Christmas at home when he receives an unexpected gift. He also has to deal with some family issues that have been brewing up the entire year.
