March 9, 2020

Football/Ganbare! Super Strikers/Ratalaika Games/tactics/tactics game/Video/Video review

Video by Matt S. Ganbare! Super Strikers is a super-indie little title that was recently released on everything. It’s one of those cheap little throwaway games that you’ll forget having played soon enough, but it’s also quite enjoyable while it lasts. I’ve done a video looking at the basic tactics…

Review: Langrisser I & II (Nintendo Switch)

March 6, 2020

JRPG/Langrisser/Langrisser I & II/Nintendo Switch/NISA/Reviews/Switch Review/tactics/tactics game

Review by Matt S. You can’t really fault the developer (Chara-Ani), or publisher, NISA, for trying. On the back of Fire Emblem becoming one of Nintendo’s most important properties, it’s not surprising on any level that someone would want to dust off Langrisser (originally Warsong in the west). It was,…

News 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…

Opinion by Matt S. It’s such an easy topic to champion in the political sphere that it can only be cynical – for those that haven’t been following Australian politics, one of our more obscure and useless senators, Stirling Griff, has decided to go on a campaign against anime and…

Review by Matt S. For a time the tower defence genre was a giant. It was when there was still space for premium-priced phone games, and people latched on to the simple – but challenging – strategy of tower defence as an the ideal time killer to make the daily…

News by Matt S. Indie publisher, Ratalaika Games, certainly likes to push games out, and frequently. This time around, the publisher has announced seven – yes, seven – visual novels, currently locked on PC, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch ports. Sadly, for some reason Ratalaika Games hasn’t…

Review: Hero Must Die. Again (Sony PlayStation 4)

March 4, 2020

Degica/Hero Must Die/Indie/JRPG/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews

Review by Matt S. Hero Must Die has one of the most interesting premises you’ll ever see in a JRPG. It’s almost distressing that it struggles so completely to execute against that potential, and the reason is simple: It stubbornly sticks to being a JRPG. The attempted gamification of the…

Get an early teaser for a rhythm game RPG not due until 2023

Indie/News/Nocturne/Nocturne: Prelude/Pracy Studios/rhythm game/RPG/trailer/Trailers

News by Matt S. Sometimes a news announcement makes you do a double-take. Announcing that a game will release in 2023 is one such occasion. It’s rare for a game to be announced so far out from release, but that’s what Pracy Studios has done with Nocturne. Don’t worry, though,…
