WiZmans World Re;Try, an HD remaster of a tactical RPG, was released in Japan for PlayStation and Nintendo Switch in May 2024. Today, Clear River Games announced that it will bring the game West for PC and consoles in February 2026. WiZmans World was a Jaleco game that launched in 2010 for the Nintendo DS. This new version has been…
Werewolf game-style social deduction adventure game Yokai Landlord: Monster Mystery! puts players in the shoes of the landlord of an apartment, trying to uncover the Yokai among your residents. The title is more than a mystery game; it is also described as “a heartwarming tale of character growth.” It fully…
I first heard of Demonschool about three and a half years ago,…
Welcome to Digitally Downloaded’s weekly catch-up news feature, the catch-up coffee. Here,…
Fragment’s Note+ has some decent art, and a surprisingly good localisation for a project of relatively modest scale. I’m used to having to deal with translations that are barely better than a Google machine translation and this game is not that. Unfortunately, I’ve run out of good things to say…

It took a little over 15 years to get Kamiwaza localised in the west, and while this is an incredible niche title, it’s well worth trying. To this day it comes across as overly ambitious to what developer, Acquire, perhaps had the resources to deliver, but this game and its…

I felt so terrible about making Fragment’s Note Plus the weekly stream (it really is that bad) that I decided to do a second stream this week, of a game that I knew was good. The Battle of Polytopia has been around on mobile (and then PC) since 2016, but…

Wayward Strand is such an odd little game, but that is by no means a criticism. Despite its utterly fantastic concept, and ironically given that it takes place in a floating airship, this game is sweet, meditative, and very grounded.

If you enjoyed the very famous Steins;Gate, or the much loved Robotics;Notes, then chances are you’ll like Chaos;Head Noah. It’s certainly a more extreme experience than those two, but this was the very first entry in the “Science Adventure” series, and it offers excellent, intense storytelling similar to its later…
Read MoreThere’s been a lot of Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet news lately, some of it containing overwhelming amounts of information. This drop is a bit different though: it’s a single trailer focused on a single Gym Leader, Iono. And she’s arguably the cutest one I’ve ever seen, from her blue…

A game where you control the platforms instead of the character? Oh, how the tables have turned! With the adorable Pompom: The Great Space Rescue, it’s only going to take one quick glance to feel a wave of retro-platformer gaming wash over you, but this game does have a creative…

It’s difficult to write within the fantasy genre in 2022. On the one hand, it’s painfully easy to write something so self-serious and overwrought that it comes across as a desperate and doomed effort to channel Tolkien. Writing fantasy that people will take seriously is monumentally difficult because fantasy by…

Rabbits are the best pets. They’re fluffy and funny and it’s only when you have them as pets that you realise they’ve got big personalities that fill the home with their energy. We don’t get anywhere near enough games that make rabbits the focus, and many of those that do…
