Review: Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time (Sony PlayStation 4)

June 12, 2018

action/Bandai Namco/Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews

Review by Ginny W. Little Witch Academia is a brilliant anime. It’s a total 180 aesthetic-wise from Studio Trigger’s previous fare, Kill la Kill, and it’s the epitome of harmless fun. Complete with wholesome high school clichés to rival the best of them, it plays out as if Sailor Moon…

Compile Heart/JRPG/PC/PC Review/Reviews/Roguelike/Sorcery Saga/Sorcery Saga Curse of the Great Curry God

Review by Harvard L. In a battle between a family owned restaurant and a big soulless corporation, I’d side with the homegrown business any day. So does Pupuru, star of Sorcery Saga: Curse of the Great Curry God, a lighthearted roguelike developed by Compile Heart, originally released for the Vita…

News by Lindsay M. Sony! It’s time for Sony! We know that we’re getting deep dives on four titles: Death Stranding, The Last Of Us: Part II, Ghost of Tsushima, and Spider-Man. But the real questions remain. Will we actually see Life Is Strange 2, or is Captain Spirit it…

News by Matt C. The creators of Dark Souls and Bloodborne are back with their next game, and rather than another gothic European setting (or the sci-fi game some were hoping for), FromSoftware are turning their attention to the Sengoku period of Japanese history. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice follows a…

What an eclectic bunch of games we’ve got to talk about this week! First up, we talk about Dead or Alive 6, which was announced just hours before we recorded the podcast. Then we talk about Vampires, in light of the release of Vampyr by Dontnod. And, finally, we talk…

News by Lindsay M. Ubisoft: the press conference consisting of a lot of music and that happens between the two that I was/am actually excited for, Square Enix and Sony. Yet here we are, so let’s see how it goes! The obvious bets are Just Dance 2019, Assassin’s Creed, and…

News by Harvard L. Metro has always been a black sheep when it came to the FPS genre. The original game released in 2010 and stood as a harsh counterpoint to popular design at the time: a melancholic world where guns were rickety, unreliable contraptions and proper bullets were valuable…

News by Lindsay M. It’s day three of four of our press conference coverage, and it’s the busiest yet! Starting things off with a hopeful bang is Square Enix; while all eyes seem to be on the developer/publisher for Final Fantasy VII, I’m actually most curious as to whether we’ll…

Review: Samurai Defender: Ninja Warfare (Nintendo Switch)

June 11, 2018

action game/Circle Entertainment/FlyHigh Works/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Samurai Defender/Switch Review/Tower defence/Tower Defense

Review by Matt S. Samurai Defender is the kind of aggressively pointless experience that I find frustrating beyond all else. There’s nothing wrong with it, but it’s also not memorable in the slightest, and while I don’t expect every video game ever made to be a masterpiece, I do think…

News by Harvard L. A day before E3 I saw a tweet jokingly asking that the only thing they want to see at this year’s convention was genuine human emotion. Thanks to Cornelia Geppert and Jo-Mei Games, the team behind Sea of Solitude, we not only got that, we got…
