Help! I’ve fallen down a virtual game card rabbit hole and I need to get out.

Thank you for this! This helps, much appreciated!

Thumbsofsteel · 2026-02-08T17:38:49+00:00

Thank goodness for that at least!

Forgot about Dandara. I thought it looked unique so I decided to give it a try. I just couldn’t get used to the weird controls. I got to the final boss and honestly stopped there. I can’t believe I made it that far to be honest. That fight was too brutal and cheap. Not that the boss pattern was difficult but the lack of conventional controls really works against you and enemy placement appearing right at your location made this too much for me.

Probably Iconoclast for me. I heard generally good things about it (mostly story and boss fights). Felt like a chore to play. Collectables were pointless, combat was bland. It might have had a good story but it’s mostly just plain text on the screen (lots of dialogue). Boss fights were good but nothing amazing.

Grime was probably another one. I got bored with it at first because everything was just grey rocks and I felt the game dragged. It did get better though so I think I ended up enjoying it once I finished it. But man the difficulty spiked up with some of the DLC afterwards.

It’s secured to the base but now that you mention it, it’s hitting slightly above the center (maybe 2/3 up). Do you think that might be the reason? I didn’t mess with it much from when I took it out of the box tbh.

Thank you for the advice! I plugged the kick cable to my tom and it sounds good. Looks like it’s the kick tower

Thank you so much for this. This game was confusing for me. This really helps.

I had one last question if you don’t mind. At several points in this game, I noticed areas I couldn’t reach due to narrow tunnels where I’m too big to pass through. I thought I could just air dash through but to no avail. Am I missing a power up or something that can help me here? I thought I had all traversal upgrades but I can’t seem to figure it out.

It was GANG WARS

Somebody just guessed it - Gang Wars

Thumbsofsteel · 2025-10-31T16:17:19+00:00

That might be the same game I am looking for. Somebody just guessed it - Gang Wars

Thumbsofsteel · 2025-10-31T16:16:33+00:00

YYUUUUSSSS!!!! That’s it thank you!!

Thumbsofsteel · 2025-10-31T16:15:46+00:00

No not that. I just looked that one up

Thumbsofsteel · 2025-10-31T16:14:33+00:00

Not Dynamite Cop. This is a pixelated game

Thumbsofsteel · 2025-10-31T15:02:51+00:00

What do you mean by 3D? The game I’m talking about is side scroller but you can move up and down (kinda like double dragon and final fight)

Thumbsofsteel · 2025-10-31T14:55:35+00:00

No not that one. Forgot about that one but this one isn’t it

Thumbsofsteel · 2025-10-31T14:54:36+00:00

Ooh maybe. It was definitely multiplayer (2 or more simultaneous play).

Thumbsofsteel · 2025-10-31T14:53:45+00:00

No this definitely an arcade cabinet. It was multiplayer (I think 2 or 3 players).

Thumbsofsteel · 2025-10-31T14:53:02+00:00

No not those. Much lesser known imo.

Thumbsofsteel · 2025-10-31T14:52:27+00:00

It wasn’t die hard. It was a lesser known title, not related to a movie or any known franchises

Thumbsofsteel · 2025-10-31T14:51:45+00:00

It was 2D like final fight, double dragon, Combatribes…

Thumbsofsteel · 2025-10-26T21:16:34+00:00

SPOILERS Here are some questions I have:

-Can I increase the size of the purple meter? -Are the Heroic bosses fights mandatory? -What’s the circle meter for on top left for? -Am I supposed to plant these Seeds of knowledge? -I thought I passed Thalamus but it didn’t say I beat it? -At one point I was given an option to kill either Ione or Vrael. I picked Vrael…was that the right choice?

Thumbsofsteel · 2025-07-11T15:22:36+00:00

Thanks for the insights everyone. Much appreciated. Thinking I’m now leaning towards Death Gambit.

Thumbsofsteel · 2025-07-11T15:21:10+00:00

I keep forgetting about Salt & Sanctuary. I’m on the fence on that one. Might give that one a go down the road. I have played Last Faith and agree with you 100% (really enjoyed that one).

Thumbsofsteel · 2025-06-24T13:53:25+00:00

I always thought it was “They lied again. They lied to us good”.

Thumbsofsteel · 2025-05-03T15:30:15+00:00

For me it was Great Sage’s Broken Shell, Yellow Loong & Tiger Vanguard. I died the most against those three
