Devolver Digital and Doinksoft (Gato Roboto, Gunbrella, Demon Throttle) have announced Dark Scrolls, a pixel art dungeon scroller.

Day of the Devs is a recap I’ve added to my (long) list at the last minute; I somehow missed its announcement. Day of the Devs is from two companies I respect quite a bit, Double Fine and iam8bit. This is it’s tenth anniversary, so happy birthday to yoooou! What…

The region of Hightower is flooded and acts as a safe zone between two dry (and unsafe) regions. There are rumours of an escape to Mars, so Nikos begins…
Read MoreThis week picks up a little bit today, with multiple showcases scheduled. We’ll be covering two of them. Up first is the Upload VR Showcase. Now, I’m not going to lie: I’m not fully invested in VR. It’s not that I don’t think it’s a great idea, it’s more because…
Read MoreThe week is about to get very, very hectic when it comes to gaming showcases – despite there being no E3 this year – but today we only have one showcase to focus on. Black Voices in Gaming is a non-profit created to highlight and support Black game developers, and…
Read MoreIf I were you and came across this article on physical game releases on a site clearly based off of digital media, I’d wonder what the heck we were up to. Digital games are great. They don’t require physical space outside of the console, they’re easily accessible from your account…

Read MoreIf you haven’t played Paper Ghost Stories: 7PM yet, you absolutely must; as a bonus, it’s free to play on PC via Steam until June 2! It’s the first in the Paper Ghost Stories series, and a relatively quick play. The next game in the series was announced today. Titled…
Read MoreTurn-based strategy is great. These games are kind of like chess, as each player takes one turn by moving and using one character, then another character goes, and so on. Generally, there is no time limit on these moves, so you can really think through what you’re about to do.…

I love Fairy Fencer F, and not just because one of the characters, Tiara, has a short skirt that bounces around nicely as she runs around, and some lovely blue panties underneath. I mean, that doesn’t hurt matters, but it’s not the reason I love the game. In all sincerity,…
