Review: Puzzle Quest: Immortal Edition (Nintendo Switch)

Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords is an enormously important game – arguably, you could trace the lineage of so many puzzle blend RPGs back to Puzzle Quest (Puzzle & Dragons, for example). The game itself, released way back in 2007 on the PSP and Nintendo DS by the same guy behind the Warlords series (an Aussie, Steve Fawkner!) was…

Review: Lego Party (Nintendo Switch)

Lego Party is a Mario Party clone. Let’s not beat around the bush about that. It is what it is, and the development team at SMG isn’t for a second trying to claim otherwise. The problem is that Mario Party is a pretty challenging formula to get right, and… well,…

Review: Varlet (Nintendo Switch)

Let’s get this out of the way up front: Varlet very badly…

Review: Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots (Nintendo Switch)

Of all the many golf properties out there, Everybody’s Golf has reliably…

Review: Snow Bros. Special (Nintendo Switch)

May 23, 2022

Arcade/Nintendo Switch/Reviews

Before there was Bubble Bobble, there was Snow Bros., and the original remains the best. I should explain. Bubble Bobble did actually come first chronologically, but Snow Bros. (the “clone”) was the first single-screen platformer I personally played. Way back on the Game Boy, there was a shrunk-down version of…

Review: Beach Girls: Don’t Lie In Summer (Nintendo Switch)

May 20, 2022

Nintendo Switch/Reviews

And today’s eShop nasty is… Beach Girls: Don’t Lie In Summer! Like Hentai Uni and Waifu Impact before it, Beach Girls landed on the Switch eShop with a minimum of fanfare and little but the promise of sexy fan service. Its goal? To flog it off to a few people…

Review: Seven Pirates H (Nintendo Switch)

May 12, 2022

Nintendo Swith/Reviews

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…

Review: Prinny Presents NIS Classics Volume 2 (Nintendo Switch)

May 10, 2022

Nintendo Switch/NISA/Retro/Reviews

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…

Review: Ravenous Devils (Nintendo Switch)

May 9, 2022

Nintendo Switch/Reviews/simulation

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…

Review: Waifu Impact (Nintendo Switch)

May 4, 2022

Nintendo Switch/Reviews

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…

Review: Samurai Bringer (Nintendo Switch)

April 29, 2022

Nintendo Switch/Playism/Reviews

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…

Review: Legend of Ixtona (Nintendo Switch)

April 26, 2022

JRPG/Kemco/Nintendo Switch/Reviews

I knew what I was getting when I stepped into Legend of Ixtona. It is a Kemco game, after all, and that means Z-grade storytelling and the cheapest of presentational standards. However, as a life-long fan of tactics JRPGs, I wasn’t going to pass up on this one either. I…

Review: 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim (Nintendo Switch)

April 26, 2022

Atlus/Nintendo Switch/Reviews

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim did to me what all good science fiction does – it made me, just for a little bit, question my perception of reality. Vanillaware’s latest title deviates from its gorgeous 2D fantasy brawlers to deliver a visual-novel-RTS hybrid that’s heavily focused on character interaction. The strategy…

Review: Roguebook (Nintendo Switch)

April 21, 2022

Nintendo Switch/Reviews

Trust Richard Garfield to reinvigorate my interest in deckbuilding roguelikes. I thought I was done with them. 2017’s Slay the Spire is excellent, but didn’t need to spawn an entire genre over the course of just five years, and we’ve already reached the point where the likes of Monster Train,…
