Review by Matt S. Zanki Zero: Last Beginning wants you to believe that it’s different to the Danganronpa series, despite being made by the same narrative and creative team. It positions itself as a dungeon crawler; something a lot more active and game-y than the aforementioned visual novel torture trilogy.…

News by Matt S. One of the Idea Factory games I’m looking forward to the most is Date A Live: Rio Reincarnation: a “romantic visual novel” based on a brilliantly fanservicey anime franchise. And now we have confirmation that it’s coming soon to the west! It releases on PlayStation 4…

Video by Matt S. After getting back from Japan last week, of course the first thing I did was get stuck into the DLC for Dead or Alive 6, which I had missed at launch while overseas. So yeah, this video’s a little old in terms of the “news” side…

News by Matt S. I had to check my calendar to make sure I hasn’t somehow Groundhog Day-ed my way back to April 1, but, no, Neptunia Shooter isn’t a joke. It’s the real deal, and its heading to PC (via Steam) this year. I’m not sure why Neptunia Shooter…

Review by Matt S. Steampunk isn’t just an aesthetic. Or, at least, it shouldn’t be. Without the “punk” running through its theme and design, all “Steampunk” is, is an attempt to cynically cash in on a popular alternative culture and ideology, and far, far too many “Steampunk” games feel incredibly…

Review: WarParty (Nintendo Switch)

Review by Matt S. There was a time where the RTS genre was beautiful in its simplicity. When you look back at the early Warcrafts, the original Starcraft, Age of Empires, and Command and Conquer, there was a consistency in them; you’d send workers out to gather materials, use those…
