Video by Matt S. The sequel to Death End re;Quest 2 is a game that I have been looking forward to a great deal. The original was an amazing mix of high-tension thriller and fanservicey JRPG, and this new game looked like it would be upping the odds on either…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Death End re;Quest was one of my favourite releases last year. Idea Factory managed to take its typically ridiculous fan service and apply it to something that was in every other way a tense thriller… and against all odds that truly oddball pairing worked. It really…
