Sorry folks, I know I’m a bit late on this news – it’s been a day! Compile Heart has announced the latest Neptunia spin-off, Neptunia GameMaker R:Evolution, through Weekly Famitsu. It also released a good amount of information about the game, including a trailer, which it is described as an “enhanced Neptunia” with a new management system. The game is…
Brave’s Rage is fine. It’s a new entry in a very over-saturated genre, and doesn’t do nearly enough to stand out, but there’s nothing inherently wrong with the game itself. It’s just disappointing that there seems to be a shrinking pool of gameplay structures that indies work with, at a…

Wandering Sword blends HD-2D-style RPG blended with the aesthetics and style of Wuxia martial arts, and that is a most incredible concept for a game. You won’t need to wait long to see how it’s turning out, either, as there will be a demo available via Steam from February 6.…

I feel so naughty. Risen is banned here in Australia. It was refused classification back in 2009, for predictably nonsense reasons (it features drug use, which the Australian Classification Board absolutely hates in the context of video games). It has never been re-classified, meaning that it’s still not available here…

I never had the opportunity to play Risen on its original release, many years ago. It was banned in Australia. It’s still banned, but thankfully modern consoles are region-free and I’ve been able to grab a copy from elsewhere. This stream covers the first hour or so of the Nintendo…

I’ve been looking forward to my chance to play The Outbound Ghost, an RPG by an indie developer about helping ghosts pass on – and maybe even solving a mystery! The Paper Mario inspiration is strong and obvious (and reminds me that I must play the latest in the series,…

Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven of Dusk was one of those lesser-known dungeon crawlers that was actually very good. Now there’s a successor on the way courtesy of NISA, called Labyrinth of Galleria: The Moon Society, and it too is looking very good. The plot, as we know it so far,…

The “Loathing” property occupies a very distinct part of gaming and Internet culture. Kingdom of Loathing is 20 years old now (and still going strong!), and one of the pioneers in Web-based, massively online role-playing gaming. Thanks to hugely entertaining stickman character artwork and ridiculously entertaining nerd humour, it was…

For years now Zeboyd has been the indie JRPG developer for delivering true love letters to the genre in a way that fans of the genre love. Cthulhu Saves The World and Cosmic Star Heroine are both magnificent, highly entertaining “retro” JRPGs that respect the player’s time and provide a…
