Review by Matt S. (Note: We have previously reviewed this game on Nintendo Switch as a Japanese import. However, with the game getting a formal western release, we thought we’d re-publish the review for those that are curious. Having tested the PlayStation 4 version now, it is effectively the same…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Prinny 1 & 2 were platformers released back on the PSP. Featuring NISA’s demon-penguin mascot, these games were infamous for being very challenging and very, very good. Now NISA has decided to bundle them up together and release them on Nintendo Switch. The package will include…
Read MoreReview by Matt C. I really want to like Bookbound Brigade. On paper, it sounds great: a Metroidvania where you control a squad of heroes rather than a single protagonist, with different formations being as important to progression as more typical ability upgrades. Coupled with fun art style and a…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. Set one-hundred years after the events of Mega Man X6, Zero is awakened by a scientist named Ciel in order to help save a group of reploids from being “retired” by the current tyrant… none other than the once hero, Mega Man X. Running away from…
Read MoreVideo by Harvard L. Super Crush KO is a recent release, but it’s an indie game you absolutely should not overlook. It offers tight, fast, exciting action platforming/brawling, set against a really slick neon aesthetic. Sadly, with a lot of great indie games getting released almost daily, you only need…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. Earthnight, developed by Philadelphia based Cleaversoft, is one strange game. In a nutshell it’s kind of an endless runner, but it’s also a post-apocalyptic space dragon slaying action game, with procedurally-generated elements. For the most part, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. But it’s…
Read MoreVideo by Harvard L. Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night more than exceeded expectations, it’s safe to say. Players went into it hoping that the creator of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night might be able to approach the brilliance of that title, but it was just a longshot hope, and as…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. It’s not always fair when a video game – or any other art work, for that matter – belongs to a genre that has become so saturated that it’s hard to muster up enthusiasm for it. It’s often not the game’s fault, in isolation, and many…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. AeternoBlade II is much better than its predecessor, and that’s not a small thing to say. The original AeternoBlade had its heart in the right place, and, coming from a development team out of Thailand, it was something that you really wanted to root for. Unfortunately,…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. You’ve got to hand it to the development team behind Dead or School. Despite the Indiegogo campaign to fund the game failing spectacularly back in 2016, the small team has persevered and managed to get the thing over the line. It’s not bad, either. Dead or…
