September 13, 2018

Castlestorm/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Switch Review/Zen Studios

Review by Harvard L. CastleStorm must have a reputation by now as Zen Studios’ “other” game – the Zen Pinball series had cemented the Hungarian development studio as the reigning champion of digital pinball, so much so that the company’s bite-sized RTS often falls by the wayside.

Kalypso/Kalypso Media/PS4 Review/Reviews/RPG/Shadows: Awakening/Sony PlayStation 4

Review by Matt S. Just the other day in a review of Victor Vran’s recent Nintendo Switch release, I mentioned that it’s hard for a “Diablo clone” to step out of the shadows of Diablo. The game named the genre for a reason. Even the better efforts tend to stick…

News by Matt S. We’ve got some more details about Kadokawa Games’ upcoming LoveR, a love simulation game from the same creator as Photo Kano. It actually seems to be a lot like Photo Kano, where you’ll be spending much of your time getting to know one of six different…

Review: Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven of Dusk (Nintendo Switch)

dungeon crawl/dungeon crawler/JRPG/Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven Of Dusk/Nintendo Switch/Nippon Ichi Software/NISA/Reviews/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. There’s no development house out there that quite understands the fairy tale aesthetic like Nippon Ichi does. Its habit of playing up the darker side of the Grimm Brothers aesthetic, with a healthy dose of anime exaggeration, was what made earlier efforts like Witch and the…

News by Matt S. Publisher, FuRyu, has been behind niche hits like The Caligula Effect and Lost Dimension, and we’re hoping that Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Spring, based on the anime, can continue the trend. Yuuna is a mystery dungeon experience (hence the “Dungeon” in the title), and it…

September 11, 2018

action RPG/Diablo clone/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/RPG/Switch Review/Victor Vran

Review by Matt S. One of the problems that “Diablo clones” face is that their genre is named for competition that’s almost impossible to beat. Diablo has barely missed a step since its original release, so many years ago now, and with Diablo 3 going from strength to strength, it…

News by Lindsay M. Germany has strict laws about the use of Nazi imagery, and who could blame it? That means that until now, video games containing Nazi symbolism or characters could not be sold in the country. Last month, the Entertainment Software Self-Regulation Body (USK) announced that this decision…
