Review by Matt S. I would never have predicted that the Nintendo Switch would end up with a strategy game of the scale of Realpolitiks. World Conqueror X was pushing things far enough as a complete simulation of World War 2, but that was almost exclusively focused on the battlefield…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. “See panties twice, cause the apocalypse.” It’s like a perverse flip of that old tagline from the TV series, Heroes: “save the cheerleader, save the world.” More importantly, if there is a more out there tagline for an anime property, I’ve never heard it. Now, I’ve…
Read MoreNews by Lindsay M. I was giddy over the crowdfunding launch of Boyfriend Dungeon, and I clearly wasn’t the only one: it was backed in the near-blink of an eye, and the stretch goals are being reached one after the other as well. With the game having raised nearly $200,000…

Read MoreNews by Lindsay M. We first had the pleasure of playing Hyakki Castle when it was released for PC in 2017, and Matt gave it a high rating, praising its combination of a Western approach to a dungeon crawler with Japanese themes. And today, the game has been released on…
