Console Gaming (General)

Yeah, the game feels very similar to classic Mega Man, as the original game was developed by the same team. The game heavily revolves around using Scrooge's cane drop attack, which is a lot like the shovel drop in Shovel Knight if you've ever played it. The game's soundtrack is also really incredible, with the classic NES tracks getting remixed by Jake Kaufman (Shantae series, Shovel Knight).

Haven’t played Mega Man or Shovel Knight but Cranky Kong has the same move in Tropical Freeze lol

So I bought the Mickey Mouse Castle of Illusion remake on Steam because it was on a sale that ends today and I’ve always heard good things about it. DuckTales Remastered is also on sale. Anyone here play these games?

Ducktales is fantastic and is generally considered a classic. If you were a fan of the new Ducktales series there was an entire episode centered around one of the stages of the game

I’ve never watched DuckTales but I have now bought the game because the deal was too good lol.

Tango shocks me as they made the only well received recent Xbox title and yet they’re thrown away with Arkane Austin that made Redfall…
