As the cloud god, it is your job to protect the pilgrims that have come to worship. The only problem is that is often easier said than done. Combining platforming-shooter mechanics with a tower defense strategy scheme, Floating Cloud God Saves the Pilgrims is accessible but very challenging at upper levels.
It is eventually revealed that there are various conspiracies afoot that threaten world peace, broadening the scale of the story. Beyond that, the shooter combines tactical elements and immersive elements such as local influence and command equity mechanics. These determine how you prosecute the war as well as what options you have available to you.
Well designed with tight controls and crystal clear graphics, Fireteam Bravo 2 is one heck of a portable shooter. The first installment from Zipper Interactive, Fireteam Bravo largely pioneers the action depicted in its finely-tuned sequel. Compensating for the lack of a second analog stick, the devs implemented an R-button lock on that takes some getting used to but ultimately works really well.
Underlined with a solid story and cinematic production quality, Fireteam Bravo is guaranteed to drain away hours of your time in its single-player campaign. Alongside its sequel, the Fireteam Bravo games serve as some of the best examples, in terms of gameplay, of the kind of console shooters gamers love. How do you put a spin on a classic formula? What you get is a game that straddles both eras and does a great job of being its own thing as well. Whether or not you care about the story, Resistance offers solid gameplay including stage and action sets interspersed with unique gameplay mechanics to break up the action.
Though somewhat dark and muddled by modern standards, the graphics convey what is necessary and the user interface is largely uncluttered. Sporting awesome controls and compelling gameplay, Resistance: Retribution is one of the many games on this list that would be at home on the console as much as it is suited for the portable world. Additions to this title that did not make an appearance in other games include advance melee mechanics as well as new stealth options such as blind firing around corners and using enemies as human shields.
If you like a solid story, amazing gameplay, and endless challenge, Dark Mirror is a game that delivers on a consistent basis.
Often criticized for being needlessly complex or hard to understand, Dark Mirror keeps the basics of a console game while getting rid of things that might make a portable title unenjoyable. It is rare that devs offer such a tight, streamlined experience, but Dark Mirror is just that. Ostensibly a space rescue game in the guise of a shooter, Velocity is one of the most creative, challenging efforts in this genre in some time. Colorful visuals, a catchy soundtrack, and widely varying levels and objectives made LocoRoco 2 a must-play platformer on PSP.
See our LocoRoco 2 review. Before he dazzled us in and out of VR with Tetris Effect, Tetsuya Mizuguchi designed what is possibly the best falling-block puzzle game not named Tetris.
However, rather than creating horizontal lines to make blocks disappear, Lumines asks players to make squares of matching colors. Pair that compellingly playable action with a hypnotic soundtrack and Lumines is an easy way to make hours disappear. Lumines Remastered is available on modern platformers, including Nintendo Switch. See our Lumines review. In this turn-based tactics game, cards control everything. Want to move? You need a card for that.
Fire your weapon? Prior to a mission, you need to build a deck that you think will be effective, and this interplay between stealth and strategy makes for a surprisingly compelling mixture. See our Metal Gear Acid review. In addition to the main campaign, Peace Walker featured multiplayer modes and short challenge missions for added variety.
Though it was occasionally frustrating due to its sparse checkpoints, Peace Walker was a great Metal Gear story to have on the go. Levels are cleverly constructed but give players a simple goal: Get from the start to the finish while collecting as much gold as possible along the way. The aesthetic presentation matches this simplicity with a gray background and plain geometric platforms. The PSP version featured various multiplayer modes, including Tag and Domination, and added the ability to share created maps with other players.
Unfortunately, multiplayer servers were shut down in Like Odama on the GameCube, Patapon 3 combines military command with an unlikely genre. Each of the face buttons on the PSP correspond to one of four drums, which must be hit in certain combinations to send orders to your army. See our Patapon 3 review. Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords is structured like a traditional RPG, with an overworld to traverse and lots of enemies waiting to attack.
The big difference is that, when those battles break out, gameplay swaps to a puzzle game, a la Candy Crush. It's a great genre mashup. See our Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords review. The pair set off to rescue her and, in the process, discover the existence of an ancient race called the Technomites. John ever climbed on a Harley. See our Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror review.
With a strong story and compulsively playable combat, Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together manages to stand out in a crowded field. The biggest difference between races in the present and races in the future? See our Wipeout Pure review. Got a news tip or want to contact us directly?
