News by Matt S. Bandai Namco is localising Record of Grancrest War: Quartet of War as Record of Grancrest War: Quartet Conflict in the west. This action JRPG, based on a popular anime franchise, will be available at some point through “fall 2018” (so, spring for those of us in…

Review: Spider-Man (Sony PlayStation 4)

action/open world game/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Sony/Spider-Man/superhero

Review by Matt S. Knowing that most people only read the first and last paragraphs, and then look at the score, I want to get this out of the way regarding Spider-Man upfront; Spider-Man is a lot of fun. A lot of fun. The combat feels great, as does web-slinging…

Review: Hyakki Castle (Nintendo Switch)

Review by Matt S. Hyakki Castle is one of my favourite dungeon crawlers in recent years. It plays much like a modern western dungeon crawler (think Legend of Grimrock rather than Wizardry), but has an unmistakably Japanese aesthetic, theme, and tone. It’s an eclectic blend, to be sure, but it…

Review: Death’s Gambit (Sony PlayStation 4)

Review by Matt C. I came very close to writing off Death’s Gambit entirely early on in my time with it. After a surprisingly easy introductory level and a boss that I killed on the first go — something unexpected from a game that draws so clearly from Dark Souls…

Review: Realpolitiks (Nintendo Switch)

September 3, 2018

grand strategy/Nintendo Switch/Realpolitiks/Reviews/Strategy/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. I would never have predicted that the Nintendo Switch would end up with a strategy game of the scale of Realpolitiks. World Conqueror X was pushing things far enough as a complete simulation of World War 2, but that was almost exclusively focused on the battlefield…

Review: Punch Line (Sony PlayStation 4)

September 3, 2018

PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Punch Line/Reviews/visual novel

Review by Matt S. “See panties twice, cause the apocalypse.” It’s like a perverse flip of that old tagline from the TV series, Heroes: “save the cheerleader, save the world.” More importantly, if there is a more out there tagline for an anime property, I’ve never heard it. Now, I’ve…

Boyfriend Dungeon is slaying it on Kickstarter!

News by Lindsay M. I was giddy over the crowdfunding launch of Boyfriend Dungeon, and I clearly wasn’t the only one: it was backed in the near-blink of an eye, and the stretch goals are being reached one after the other as well. With the game having raised nearly $200,000…

Review: Nekopara Vol. 1 (Nintendo Switch)

August 31, 2018

Nekopara/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Switch Review/visual novel

Review by Matt S. Nekopara is not the first adult visual novel to have had its more pornographic elements shaved off for the benefit of a console release. Utawarerumono on the PlayStation 4, and Eiyuu Senki on the PlayStation 3 are both very notable examples where the developers have kept…
