Review by Priscilla M. Feather comes to us by Samurai Punk; the same Aussie indie team that give us the endlessly-hilarious Screencheat. Unlike that all-action party event, Feather is a calm and lighthearted game that focuses on the freedom of exploration available only by flight. Billed as a ‘zen-like,’ the…

China/JRPG/Sword and Fairy/Sword and Fairy 6/Video/Video review

Video by Matt S. Sword And Fairy 6 doesn’t have the world’s best production values. It’s not the best made game, either – in fact, it’s a bit of a mess. And yet, I found it utterly compelling. Coming from China, it’s a rare example of a Chinese RPG that…
