  • Our take on the Black Future '88 (Switch)

    Black Future '88 is a 2D roguelike action shooter set in a neon-drenched cyberpunk tower. You climb 18 floors against a clock that never stops: your heart gives out after 18 minutes, and every kill and pickup buys you more time. It mixes twin-stick shooting, platforming and permadeath, with a second player able to join locally in co-op. Reviewers praised its style, soundtrack and tight controls but found the difficulty punishing and runs repetitive over time.
