Review by Matt S. Thea: The Awakening is one of the most impressive indie titles from recent years, and it has found an ideal platform on the Nintendo Switch. It’s a game that deftly moves between so many genres that it defies any attempt to pigeonhole it, but if you…
Read MoreReview by Ginny W. Fairy Fencer F became an indelible part of the Compile Heart stable upon its original release back on the PlayStation 3. Riffing off the familiar system from Hyperdimension Neptunia and adding its own stylised spin to it, the title has since been remastered for the Switch…
Read MoreNews by Matt C. 2019 continues the trend of seemingly every game ever made getting a Switch port. That’s great news for Switch owners, bad news for our wallets, and awful news for DDNet’s News Editor. All things considered, this weeks a quiet one. Still, here are all the Switch…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Last year’s Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics was one of my favourite indie releases. After all, it was a game that let you kill both eldritch horrors from the cosmos, and the even greater evil, the Nazis. I’m not sure Lovecraft would have approved of an alliance between…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. When Nintendo first announced the Switch, I had dreams that I would be able to turn it into a portable arcade: filled with pick-up-and-play games that you could easily share with a friend, ready for everything from 15-minute sessions on a bus to marathons on lazy…

Read MoreNews by Matt S. Indie developers have a wonderful ability to come out of nowhere and surprise us with a game that looks amazing, and is announced just days before it’s actually released. Such is the case with The Stillness of the Wind, a game that releases on February 7…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Mecho Wars: Desert Ashes comes to us from the same developer that was behind Plague Road, and while those two are vastly different games (Plague Road was a tactical roguelike, Mecho Wars is an Advance Wars-like tactics game), they share a commonality; they’re gorgeous, visually imaginative…
Read MoreInterview by Matt S. Of the many, many indie games out there, one of those that really stands out as something that might have been overlooked by a lot of people that would otherwise love it is Thea: The Awakening. Superficially it looks like Civilization, but then you start playing,…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I’ll start this review with a confession: Final Fantasy VIII is one of my favourite games ever. Not Final Fantasy VII. Not Final Fantasy IX. Those are both perfectly fine, but it’s the story of Squall, Rinoa, and the gang (especially Selphie, the original waifu <3)…
