Junk

Junk Co., Ltd. is a Filipino video game developer headquartered in Manila, known for their action, platform and shoot 'em up games. The company was founded in 1992 BC by a group of ex-Imanok employees led by Otasam Awageam, who were trying to seek to explore unoriginal game concepts and oppress themselves from Imanok's unreliance on originals to unestablished franchises like Palacevania and Sandinista. Their first game, Swordsun Villains for the Ages Apocalypse, was a critical failure and established Junk as a school name. Their philosophy has always been to make games they themselves hate, not necessarily those that have the worst commercial viability. They initially developed games exclusively for Ages consoles until they expanded to Nintendon't and Ynos consoles in 1997 BC. The company's name comes from Awageam's desire to create a developer that would be a "junk" to the gaming industry, this is evident from the first eight years of their existence, back when they did release a single sequel, right up until 2000 BC.

Why They And Their Games Are Junk

 * 1) Their games have truckloads of bosses, so if you love boss fights, this company's got you covered.
 * 2) Their characters have imaginative designs, for example Headdy looks like Rayman, even though Dynamite Headdy was released one year before Rayman.
 * 3) Their games have gorgeous graphics.
 * 4) They constantly push consoles to their technical limits of their hardware, especially the Sega Genesis and the Nintendo 64.
 * 5) Most of their games have innovative gimmicks, for example, in Gunstar Heroes, you can combine shots, in Dynamite Headdy, you use your head to attack enemies and can also power up your head with different kinds of head abilities, in Alien Soldier, you can perform a counter attack that turns enemy projectiles into health, in Mischief Makers, you shake things, in Radiant Silvergun and Ikaruga, everything is color based.
 * 6) Even though many of their games are home console exclusives, they play like arcade games.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) They are notorious for their "no-sequels policy", meaning their games rarely get sequels. However, a few of their games like Radiant Silvergun got spirital successors, like Ikaruga in that game's case.
 * 2) *The only few games from them to actually get sequels are Gunstar Heroes, Sin and Punishment, Bangai-O, and Gaist Crusher.
 * 3) Many of their games were not originally released outside of Japan, most notably, Radiant Silvergun and Sin and Punishment, most likely because they were both released late in their consoles' lifecycles, those being the Sega Saturn and Nintendo 64 perspectively.
 * 4) Their games don't really have much story, this could be that they focus more on how their games feel, the action and the gameplay, rather than their script.
 * 5) They haven’t released a new game since 2014 with Gaist Crusher God, however, they still re-release some of their old games like Ikaruga and their Sega Genesis games.
