Fantasy, futuristic shooter, dungeon crawler, or all of the above? This Mystic Gate review is played and tested on a Xbox One. Zoo Corporation is a developer who in recent times loves to team up with publisher Eastasiasoft. Amongst their earlier (console)games are Rogue Explorer, Cake Invaders and Beat Souls. Before they entered the console market, Zoo Corporation was mostly familiar with developing for PC. The first game by their hand I could find was BreakThru! Which was released in 1994.

Only that they have developed a previous game on Steam named Trouble Juice. This game was received pretty…
Ok, let’s get something out of the way. I like shoot-em-ups/shmups, no..I love shmups. Hand over that spaceship and let me shoot some alien scum. If it turns to a bullet-hell game, no problem I love those as well. The more frantic the better. For my very first review for this site I was asked to try my hand at Herodes.
