186: Fake Fictional Fantasy Console

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We're shorthanded again this week, but John & Kevin have been doing plenty of video gaming lately, so let's get right into the action!

Kevin kicks things off with his first impressions of UFO 50 — a massive collection of "retro" games made for a fictional console from the 1980s — from the developer of Spelunky and friends!

From there, John & Kevin take a little time to shine a spotlight on 20 Minutes Till Dawn, after both getting pretty sucked into this one.  Is 20 minutes the perfect length for a roguelike/roguelite run?!
Kevin's also been absolutely hooked on another roguelike in Shogun Showdown, which has an incredible blend of puzzle solving, turn-based strategy, and deckbuilding RPG elements.

Finally, John wraps things up with his thoughts on EVERSPACE, as he continues his quest to find a modern day on-rails shooter that lives up to Star Fox 64.
