Ever stumbled across a weird little Game Boy game that makes zero sense at first? That's Totsugeki Valations for you. It's one of those Japan-only releases where you're either smashing through levels with bizarre power-ups or getting wrecked by enemies that look like rejected Tamagotchi designs.

First few minutes go like this: You pick a character (good luck figuring out who does what), mash buttons until something cool happens, and then suddenly you're bouncing off walls or shooting rainbows. The controls take some getting used to—expect a few cheap deaths before it clicks. But once it does, there's something oddly satisfying about the chaos.

Definitely not for everyone, but if you like obscure, janky retro games with personality, this one’s a trip. Just don’t expect a tutorial.
