Review by Matt S. Ninja Village is a Kairosoft game, and if you don’t know what that means, then you haven’t played a Kairosoft game before. The developer, which previously stuck to the mobile platform like glue, has recently hit the Nintendo Switch with a flood of ports, and has…

Review: A Ghost of a Tale (Sony PlayStation 4)

March 20, 2019

A ghost of a tale/Ghost of a Tale/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews

Review by Matt S. Ghost of a Tale represents the indie development spirit at its best. A delightful little stealth game, produced largely by a single person, it’s a game the eschews refinement for spirit and soul, and as a result it’s one of the more memorable examples of its…

Review: Apocryph (Nintendo Switch)

Review by Matt S. You’d never know this today, but I used to be a big fan of the FPS. Back when the genre represented the finest transgressive energy in the games industry, and when the limited hardware on offer meant that developers aimed for the fantastic and abstract, rather…

News by Matt S. Google Stadia, it’s called, and it’s a Cloud-based streaming console that means you’re going to need one heck of a good Internet connection to get anything out of. It will let you play games across PC, laptop, tablet, TV and smartphone… all you need is its…

Review by Matt S. It must be difficult making one of those “1 vs 1,000” action games, in the vein of Koei Tecmo’s Dynasty Warriors series. They obviously sell well enough (because Koei keeps making them), but so few developers even try, much less approach the quality of what Koei…

News by Matt S. Idea Factory is at its fanservicey best with Moero Chronicle, a pretty good dungeon crawler with even better… assets. Previously exclusive to the PC in the west (there is also a PlayStation Vita version, but never released outside of Asia), now it’s got a release date…

Over the next two weeks, we’re going to be sharing some of the DDNet team’s favourite pieces of game music. These aren’t necessarily the best pieces of all time (we all walked away from recording this podcast and immediately thought of another dozen tracks we could talk about), but these…

co-op/FPS/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Rico/Roguelike/Shooter/shooters/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. You could call Rico a kind of reverse Payday; where Payday was a co-operative shooter that let you play as the robbers, Rico is a shooter that encourages co-op play and lets you play as the cops. It’s nowhere near as well made as Payday and…
