Shielded Center Aldi and Lidl are two all time greats of the supermarket genre. Except I actually prefer the Racer! Anyway, Armored Core. Or should I say,Exterminator?

Bore Blasters and its mix of Vampire Survivors meets Dome Keeper is, dare I say it, a blast
Even better, developers 8BitSkull have just announced it’s coming out in full next month. The thing I like most about Bore Blasters, though, is all the lovely chunky numbers.

Here’s hoping its full release on March 8th will deliver the goods on this promising first impression....
