October 12, 2018

casual/Game Dev Story/Kairosoft inc/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/satire/simulator/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. Game Dev Story is a genuine classic. Originally a humble little iPhone title, featuring a cute sense of humour and colourful characters, it really was the title that launched its developer, Kairosoft, into the stratosphere, and has since led to dozens of other casual simulation titles.…

News by Matt C. Every week, there are approximately 12385128756 announcements for Switch ports of previously-released games. That’s great news for Switch owners, bad news for our wallets, and awful news for Lindsay, DDNet’s news editor. It’s another relatively quiet one this week, at least by Switch standards. Still, here’s…

Review by Matt S. Valthirian Arc: Hero School offers a quaint, if not overly original concept. You’re tasked with developing a school that trains up heroes to fill martial and magical roles within the kingdom.

News by Matt S. Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed has always been known for its efforts to present players with a realistic historical world to explore. Assassin’s Creed Rebellion, however, is throwing all of that out the window. Rebellion has bobble headed characters and a bright, cartoonish aesthetic. It’s being developed exclusively…

428: Shibuya Scramble/adventure/adventure game/adventure games/choose your own adventure/mystery/PlayStation 4/point-and-click adventure/review/Reviews/Sony PlayStation 4/Spike Chunsoft/visual novel

Review by Lindsay M. When I think of Spike Chunsoft, I tend picture Danganronpa, or those 3DS Street Pass minigames, and tend to forget about the other amazing games in the publisher’s library. 428: Shibuya Scramble is one of those games, with an original launch on the Wii in 2008…

News by Matt S. Like pinball? Like ridiculous oppai? Have a sense of humour? Peach Ball: Senran Kagura looks like it’s going to do a great job filling that really specific niche. It’s quite literally a digital pinball game in which the Senran Kagura girls crawl over the table, and…

Review: The World Ends With You: Final Remix (Nintendo Switch)

October 11, 2018

JRPG/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Square Enix/Switch Review/The World Ends With You

Review by Matt S. The World Ends With You was a cult hit on the Nintendo DS. Stylish, slick and sharp, its vibrant use of youth culture motifs and “street” style art combined with an inspired soundtrack and light, but engaging, JRPG mechanics to offer players something genuinely different. There’s…

DLC Review/Nintendo Switch/pinball/Reviews/Switch Review/William Pinball/Williams Pinball: Volume 1/Zen Studios

Review by Matt S. There’s been such a resurgence of digital pinball in recent years. A good bulk of real pinball tables that exist in the real world have been digitised, and there have been so many original digital creations that have really pushed boundaries. It’s not hard to understand…

Review: WWE 2K19 (Sony PlayStation 4)

October 10, 2018

2K Games/PlayStation 4 Review/PS4 Review/Reviews/Sony PlayStation 4/sports game/Visual Concepts/WWE 2K19/Yuke's

Review by Nick H. For better or for worse, WWE 2K19 is exactly what I expected it to be. The overall gameplay has not changed all that much from last year’s iteration, but the continued additions and improvements do make the experience more entertaining anyway. So the core gameplay remains…
