We’ve got a bit of a themed episode going this week! It’s all about the retro! From watching let’s plays of difficult to find games, to the decline of arcades (even in Japan – sniff), and a new, gorgeous console that will play your Game Boy games, retro gaming is…

News by Matt S. In yesterday’s CUC we shared the news that there would be a sequel to the gorgeous, beautiful mystery visual novel, Root Letter, and that it would be called Root Film. Now we’ve got the great news that Root Film will indeed be localised, by PQube, the…

Review: Destiny Connect: Tick-Tock Travelers (Nintendo Switch)

Destiny Connect/Destiny Connect: Tick Tock Travelers/JRPG/Nintendo Switch/Nippon Ichi Software/NISA/Reviews/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. What a sweet little JRPG Tick-Tock Travelers is. It runs at about 20 hours in length, it has a difficulty level that’s pitched for the young, a charm that will appeal to the young at heart, and it offers a nice little riff on the the…

Felix the Reaper/Indie/Nintendo Switch/Puzzle Game/Reviews/Switch Review

Review by Trent P. The relationship Felix The Reaper has with music and with dance is the kind of feeling you get at a wedding (that is not your own). That bubbly free flowing love music that permeates the entire music selection. However it also feels like it comes from…

Video by Matt S. Spike Chunsoft’s next one is Conception Plus; a roguelike JRPG with a more than healthy dose of fan service and all the hilarity that brings. But as I explore in this video, there is so much more to Conception than that. It won’t necessarily resonate with…

News by Matt S. One of the bits of news that flew a little under the radar, among everything else that Gust and Koei Tecmo is doing at the moment, was that we’d be getting a package of all three Dusk games on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC. Gust…

News by Matt S. Square Enix really does produce a good developer diary. It’s been running a series, looking at the various classic Final Fantasy games, and how they got made. Closer to a documentary than a bit of marketing collateral, these videos do provide some great insights into the…

Review: Raging Loop (Nintendo Switch)

Horror/Kemco/Nintendo Switch/PQube/Raging Loop/Reviews/Survival Horror/Switch Review/visual novel

Review by Matt S. Raging Loop is a fascinating little game. It’s cheaply made, and its very limited production values do prevent the game from ever getting the dark horror atmosphere that the narrative deserves, but after an adjustment period you’ll put all that to the side, because what matters…

Review by Matt S. Given that I reviewed the original Mary Skelter: Nightmares, it’s actually difficult to find new things to say about Mary Skelter 2, above and beyond what I’ve already written. The reality is that while the two titles tell different stories, thematically, they tread the exact same…
