Better known for their smash hit Mobile games such as Land-A Panda, Off the Leash and Piyo Blocks, Big Pixel Studios have decided to turn their attention to the consoles with Mega Coin Squad being released onto the Xbox One, having previously made it’s debut on Steam back in 2014.
Published by Adult Swim Games, Mega Coin Squad is another addition to the hugely popular ID@Xbox Program that keeps on reeling out classic game after classic game. Big Pixel Studios pay homage to the retro classic arcade games of the 80’s with the look and feel of a modern day game to bring it up to date. It’s a fast paced, frantic, 2D platforming game where the sole aim is to make it through rounds collecting and banking a set amount of coins while attempting to fend off various enemies.
A review of this 2D Platform game, Mega Coin Squad with David Game on MGL
"Mega Coin Squad is a self-aware, mini-dose of fun that’s limited by local-only multiplayer. The content is great to play but short-lived as a result, but that first time through really gets its hooks in and leaves you wanting more."
An arcade style coin grabber, without the modern sense of money grabbing.
Neil writes "This week’s Xbox Live Deals With Gold sale is in full swing and brings a decent number of discounts for all Xbox One and Xbox 360 gamers. But which are the best…and which are the worst offers in place between 19th-25th Jan 2016? Let us tell you."
I definitely like the retro styling.
