BvA: It's Snow Joke Review
BvA: It's Snow Joke is a free-to-play ROM for the classic Amiga console. This indie shooter by 17BitRetro captures the 8-bit graphics and the chiptune music, creating an authentic 80s gaming experience. This Christmas-themed action game lets you play as the titular Bean as you fight against aliens in Santa hats and ultimately, Mr. Freeze himself.
BvA: It's Snow Joke feels like a holiday re-skin of its hit game, Bean Versus the Animator, and retains most of the original game’s features. It offers an Amiga Disk File (.ADF) file type, allowing you to run it on an actual Amiga computer or using any of the supported emulators. The game has 8-bit graphics depicting a snowy graveyard and limited content, with only three types of weapons and a few kinds of enemies. However, it does have a two-player simultaneous gameplay option using a mouse or light gun controller, adding to its replay value.
With its commitment to recreating an authentic Amiga gaming experience, BvA: It's Snow Joke is a refreshing entry for retro gamers. It captures the thrill of fighting during Christmas and offers a climactic showdown with Mr. Freeze. Additionally, it allows players to team up and save the holidays from retro invaders.
