2D platformer/Artisan Studios/Hyperdimension Neptunia/JRPG/platformer/Super Neptunia RPG/Video/Video review

Video by Matt S. Idea Factory’s newest Neptunia game comes to us from Canadian Artisan Studios and… it’s a nicely made game. It has an elegant combat system, some truly stunning art, and there has clearly been a lot of effort put into it. So why is it a disappointment?…

Review by Matt S. Here’s a review of two contrasts for you: As a 2D platformer JRPG, Super Neptunia RPG is good fun and well made. As an entry in the Hyperdimension Neptunia series, it’s a disappointment. Your mileage with this game is going to depend on two things: how…

Review by Rob P. I am, by nature, a fairly tranquil soul. I desire little more than a sense of zen-like harmony with a side order of peace and goodwill. But put a fighting game in front of me and I’m going to beat the crap out of it. Hey,…

Cat Lady/News/teaser trailer/trailer/Trailers/Viz Media

News by Matt S. It was a little lost among all the excitement of E3, but just before the show Viz Media announced a cute little game, so we figured we should cover it now. Cat Lady is being developed by Rose City Games, and looks like an ideal follow-up…

Preview by Matt C. Mable & The Wood is not your typical Metroidvania. For one thing, you can’t jump, nor can you swing Mable’s hefty sword. But more significantly, all the upgrades—which are, I’d say, the thing that defines Metroidvania as a genre—are optional. You can, in theory, play through…

News by Lindsay M. I am a very picky person, about just about everything. I only like certain foods, I only go certain places, I only write certain things. As you can imagine, that makes me very weary of backing something on Kickstarter: it’s something that’s out of my control,…

News by Lindsay M. It’s the last day of E3, and I can’t believe it’s taken until now for me to have a breath to spare so we can go back to the Square Enix press conference. Squeezed in after Outriders and before the beast that has become Final Fantasy…

News by Matt S. Sekai Games, the specialist visual novel localisation outfit, probably should have held an E3 conference of its own, because it has announced a whole lot of exciting projects. More than we saw in certain conferences this year for sure (*cough* Ubisoft and Bethesda). Across Nintendo Switch,…
