Review by Ginny W. As the Banner Saga draws to its fateful conclusion, what was previously a death march now feels like a funeral procession. The team behind it has risen to unexpected heights in the wake of the success of the trilogy’s first two titles. There’s always been a…

Review by Priscilla M. Cosmic Star Heroine was on my radar since the initial Kickstarter in 2013, but it was not until the Switch port that I was given a chance to experience the galactic wonder for myself. Cosmic Star Heroine is touted as a game for fans of JRPGs…

Review by Matt S. It’s almost impossible to find good quality information about the Middle East out here in the west. Whether it’s a look at the historical context of the Middle East, or a contemporary view of the volatile region, it’s nearly impossible to break through propaganda and ideology…

Video by Matt S. Train Sim World came out of nowhere, but what a delightful game! Train driving simulators are hugely popular in Japan, but not so much out in the west, and while there have been a few on PC, we haven’t been able to get stuck into one…

News by Matt S. For fans of large-scale strategy games, there aren’t too many choices available on the Nintendo Switch, however, there is World Conqueror X, and it’s a more-than-decent take on recreating the strategic conditions and battles of World War 2. It also seems to have sold well enough…

Review by Harvard L. Every time I review a Compile Heart game I can’t help but analyse how it fits into the company’s now well-established formula. Its penchant for stat heavy JRPGs with fiendishly complex combat systems and trope laden anime stories makes it a love-or-hate company, but it’s hard…

Review by Matt S. Code of Princess was one of the first downloadable titles released on the Nintendo 3DS, released right back in 2013. I wasn’t actually a big fan of it. It’s been quite some time since I played it, but while I don’t remember the specifics, I do…
