Review: Fire Emblem Engage (Nintendo Switch)

Magical rings are such a well-trodden fantasy trope that they’re now at the point of clichéd symbolism that would score you an “F” grade in your creative writing course. With rings being the focus of Fire Emblem Engage, and Engage itself being a loving homage to everything that came before in this wonderful tactical JRPG series, it might be initially…

JRPG/Nintendo Switch/Preview/Previews

Given how big the Fire Emblem series has become, it’s amazing to think that it has now been four years since the previous “proper” Fire Emblem (Three Houses) was released. That’s been the largest gap between releases in quite some time. I’m not complaining – I would rather the team…

Review: Tactics Ogre: Reborn (Sony PlayStation 5)

November 10, 2022
PlayStation 5/Reviews/Square Enix/tactics/tactics JRPG

It might be a remake of a remake, but Tactics Ogre Reborn is one of the greatest games of its genre. It effectively established the genre, many years ago, and has barely lost anything in the years since. I have to hope that Square Enix has prepared this release to…

October 11, 2022
Indie/Reviews/tactics JRPG

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…

Review: Prinny Presents NIS Classics Volume 3 (Nintendo Switch)

September 6, 2022
JRPG/Nintendo Switch/NISA/Reviews

When I think back to my early efforts in game criticism, things get a bit hazy (I’ve reviewed thousands of games since, give me a break), but I’m pretty sure that La Pucelle, on the PlayStation 2, was the very first JRPG I was ever given the opportunity to review.…

The DioField Chronicle: Can people PLEASE stop making GOTY candidates?

JRPG/Preview/Previews/RTS/Square Enix/tactics JRPG/Video/Video review/Video reviews

I know this is a nice problem to have, but there are just so many games that 2022 has thrown up that deserve awards at the end of the year. It has been a monstrously good year for video games, especially if you like Japanese games, and The DioField Chronicle…
