Why I can’t review Martha is Dead

I don’t believe topics should be ignored in games, but I do believe that certain issues need to be handled delicately; things like mental illness, sexual assault, and war are not topics to be taken lightly. LKA is, to me, best known for approaching some very sensitive topics in The…

Review: Maitetsu: Pure Station (Nintendo Switch)

Circle Entertainment/fan service/Maitetsu: Pure Station/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Switch Review/visual novel

Review by Matt S. Maitetsu is another one of those formerly R18+ eroge visual novels that has “gone legitimate” for console releases, removing the explicit sex scenes, while retaining a less explicit approach to fan service and, otherwise, all the narrative elements. We’ve seen with the likes of Nekopara and…

Opinion by Matt S. Late last year, Wizards of the Coast, in collaboration with Tuque Games, announced Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance. As a long-awaited new entry in a beloved action RPG series from the PlayStation 2 era (not to be confused with the likes of Baldur’s Gate, Dark Alliance…

Video by Harvard L. Out Run is a true classic of the racing genre. It’s a notoriously difficult genre to create something that lasts, as racing games tend to require complex physics models that can make older ones feel unplayable to people comfortable with newer ones. However, Out Run is…

JRPG/Kemco/Seek Hearts/Video/Video review

Video by Matt S. Kemco sure does churn the retro-themed JRPGs out. Sadly, most of them are just not very good, and more closely resemble RPG Maker projects than anything. Seek Hearts is the new one and… well, it’s actually better. It’s not great, but from the first couple of…

News by Matt S. I’ve been really looking forward to World of Horror, ever since it was first announced back in 2018. Using retro visuals, like something from an old Apple Mac game, it promised a blend of Lovecraftian cosmic horror and RPG mechanics. Not a Call of Cthulhu RPG…

News by Matt S. Almost two years ago, we first reported that a Chinese developer, Azure Flame Studio, was building a fascinating-looking tactics RPG. Banner of the Maid, it’s called, and it’s about the French Revolution and Napoleon, with one exception… all the characters are women. That’s right. You’re going…
