Review: Mercenaries Wings: The False Phoenix (Nintendo Switch)

November 9, 2018

JRPG/Mercenaries Wings: The False Phoenix/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Switch Review/tactics game

Review by Matt S. Once of the better value packages that you can buy on the Nintendo Switch is Mercenaries Saga Chronicles. The collection features three tactics JRPGs by RideonJapan, and while these games all come off as a cheap homage to Final Fantasy Tactics, and don’t reach the standards…

Review by Matt S. FromSoftware, best known to us for its Dark Souls formula, likes to be subtle. Part of the appeal of the Dark Souls series is how little they give players up front, challenging them to instead piece together the rich, deep lore through their exploration of the…

News by Matt S. You can never have YouTube on too many devices, apparently. In the grand scheme of things it’s hard to imagine why having YouTube on Nintendo Switch would be a big deal, but you just know that some people out there will get a lot from it.…

Review: Swap This! (Nintendo Switch)

Nintendo Switch/Puzzle Game/Reviews/Swap This!/Switch Review/Two Tribes

Review by Matt S. Swap This! costs about a dollar. When I think about the other things I can get for a dollar – one candy bar, or about 1/3 of a cup of coffee, it’s hard to look at Swap This! as anything but good value. It’s a simple…

11-11: Memories Retold/game screenshots/Screenshot/screenshot mode/screenshots/war

Article by Matt S. One of the core features of 11-11 Memories Retold is the photography that one of the two characters takes from the battlefield. Designed to replicate the look and feel of the photographs that made it back from the real World War 1, this feature is a…

11-11: Memories Retold/Aardman/adventure game/adventure games/anti-war/Art Game/Bandai Namco/Elijah Wood/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/war

Review by Matt S. Why can’t more games about war be like World War 1 biopic, 11-11 Memories Retold? Rather than bombastic nonsense that functions as barely veiled propaganda and military hero worship, why don’t we have more genuine stories about war? The shattering emotions and the horror that the…

Review by Clark A. Fresh off its first feature film, heading into its fourth season, and over 200 manga chapters deep, My Hero Academia is a full-fledged phenomenon. My Hero One’s Justice, an anime arena fighter, is a logical extension of author Kohei Horikoshi’s ongoing scheme to conquer the entertainment…

Review by Matt S. It has been a big year for retro collections on Nintendo Switch. Capcom’s weighed in with two excellent ones (Street Fighter collection and the Beat ’em Up Bundle), SEGA’s got a pack of a huge pile of its classics on the horizon, and Nintendo’s paid online…
