Zombie Harvest: Survival Farming Simulator (Nintendo Switch)
Publisher: GOGAME CONSOLE PUBLISHER What I Paid: $1.50 Verdict: Shovelware. What I Say: There are many excellent games with the word Zombie in the title. This isn’t one of them. The claim is that you are a farmer with nothing but a cabin and you need to build up your farm to survive and protect…

Bid Battle: Auction War Simulator Storage Hunter (Nintendo Switch)
Publisher: DEZVOLT GAMES What I Paid: $1.99 Verdict: Shovelware. What I Say: There’s not much to this game apart from the obligatory signs of shovelware; the Made by Unity logo, the massively keyword spammy title and the worse than desultory gameplay. The gameplay consists of travelling to a location, locating a small number of objects…

9 in 1 Puzzles (Nintendo Switch)
Publisher: Kistler Studios What I Paid: $1.50 Verdict: Shovelware. What I Say: I guess the first clue that this is shovelware is in the title – 9 in 1 Puzzles. The second clue is in the download size – 60Mb. The third clue comes when you run this for the first time and discover that…

Grandma Cleaning Simulator – Family Business Tycoon (Nintendo Switch)
Publisher: GOGAME CONSOLE PUBLISHER What I Paid: $4.50 Verdict: Shovelware. What I Say: “Made by Unity”. I am starting to dread seeing this message when starting up a game, since Unity seems to be the engine of choice of Shovelware creators. The suspicious key word spamming is another clue. Anyhow, this “game” is awful. The…

Construct Farm (Nintendo Switch)
Publisher: Nerd Games What I Paid: $1.50 Verdict: Shovelware. What I Say: This is one of the worst Shovelware titles I have ever had the displeasure of reviewing. Firstly, the A and B buttons are reversed in their usual actions. This is always annoying. Secondly, there is no actual gameplay as such. You pick from…

Good Guys (Nintendo Switch)
Publisher: DillyFrame What I Paid: $1.50 Verdict: Shovelware. 100%ed it. What I Say: This is a comic. Read the image. Press ‘A’. Repeat. The story is short and…bizarre. Read “What They Say” below – it truly is that weird. There is a second story – entirely black-and-white – which is conveniently not shown in the…

Hentai Solitaire (Nintendo Switch)
Publisher: RedDeer.Games What I Paid: $1.50 Verdict: Shovelware. What I Say: This is a bare bones solitaire game with two modes of play. The “Hentai” label comes from the tiny “Hentai” pictures on the back of the cards, of which there are 10 choices only. When the most titillating image in this game is the…

Steam Engine (Nintendo Switch)
Publisher: RandomSpin Games What I Paid: $1.50 Verdict: Shovelware. 100%ed it. Very Short. What I Say: RandomSpin Games have a ton of Xxxxx Engine games available on the Nintendo eShop. All of them have the same premise: click ‘Y’ for a bit to build up an Xxxxx Engine. Soon after starting, the clicking becomes optional.…

Bike Courier: Bistro Express Delivery (Nintendo Switch)
Publisher: GOGAME CONSOLE PUBLISHER What I Paid: $4.74 Verdict: Shovelware. What I Say: Steer a bicycle around from circle to circle in a very small open world area which all looks much the same. Rarely see cars on the road. See pedestrians. Earn $10 per “delivery” for bike “upgrades” that cost a huge amount of…

AAA PRO CLOCK 2023 (Nintendo Switch)
Publisher: DEZVOLT GAMES What I Paid: $1.59 Verdict: Shovelware. What I Say: 3 clock types. 9 digit colours. 5 or 6 backgrounds. I forget. Can’t be bothered going back to look. Clock. Alarm. And…that’s all. No game. Reading through the description of this title took longer than actually exploring all of its features. Starting with…
