In the world of PC gaming, Steam is inundated with absolute trash that only fits the definition of “game” by the slimmest of margins, and relies entirely on nudity and/or sex to make a quick dollar. It looks like Nintendo has opened the floodgates for this too, and Hentai Uni is exhibit A. Hentai Uni shouldn’t exist, though, and while…
With its title, Triangle Strategy takes being “on the nose” to a whole other level. While that is a weakness because it is difficult not to roll the eyes at it on first impressions alone, the ideas and concept behind it are sound and make more sense the further you…

It’s worth remembering that we very nearly lost Rune Factory. The developer…
Seven Pirates H is Idea Factory’s latest fan service special and even by Idea Factory’s standards for fan service this one *goes places*. So much so that while you’ll see plenty of examples of it in this video there is a bunch of stuff I just don’t want to risk…

Seven Pirates H has hit my limit. I am more than happy to whip out Dead or Alive Xtreme 3, Gal*Gun, Hyperdimesnion Neptunia, Nekopara, or any other fanservicey Switch game that you can think of on the train or any other public space. I just don’t care if people look…

It’s time again for what I’ve dubbed the Happy Showcase, as Nintendo Indie World Showcases always feature several games that just feel happy. Most of these titles are coming out this year. As the stream was UK-based, all seasons are from the Northern Hemisphere; “summer” is roughly Q3 and “winter”…

Nippon Ichi is at its best when it is at its most inscrutable and inaccessible. The more heavily a NIS game’s humour leans into a surrealistic anime-style over-the-top tone (whether for comic effect or otherwise), and the more numbers the game can throw at players, the more they tend to…

Before the film that Tim Burton and Johnny Depp had way too much fun with, and before even the Stephen Sondheim musical that more people should see a production of, Sweeny Todd was a Penny Dreadful. People don’t really know what these are anymore, but they were once wildly popular…

It took me an embarrassingly long time to realise that “Waifu Impact” was a play on Genshin Impact. That’s the most interesting thing about this game, though I must admit that in the hand of competent developers this concept could have been spun into something good. The basic concept is…

I’m mostly just doing this video to test a new sound recording system that I’m testing – the Maonocaster E2 A. But I also have a point to make! Nintendo has opened the floodgates for fanservicey games, and while fan service is great, the Steam-like stream of absolutely terrible stuff…

Samurai Bringer is Samurai Warriors: The Roguelike. If that doesn’t have you rushing to the eShop to buy it right now, then you’re probably not a regular reader of DigitallyDownloaded.net. This game is an excellent, clever, interesting and entertaining take on the roguelike, and while I’m getting increasingly burned out…

River City Saga is one of the more enduring “Double Dragon”-like brawler properties, and while that genre has had its peaks and troughs, it is enjoying a renaissance right now. River City Saga is back for some more with a Three Kingdoms edition that looks amazing. Yes, we are talking…

Wii Sports was one incredible little experience. It was the perfect way to launch the Wii console, and it was one of those rare games that got everyone playing. Unfortunately, while Nintendo Switch Sports is very good, it fails to capture the same zeitgeist, and I don’t think we’ll ever…
