LEVST3R Oct 20, 2021 0

The main draw for me with Demon Turf is its obvious blend of 3D platformer with 2D visuals. Beebz is the main protagonist who set out to conquer different turf in order to become queen demon — but, there’s plenty for fans of the platforming…

Thea 2: The Shattering makes its case on Nintendo Switch

Matthew Smail Sep 25, 2021 0

When I first played it on — I think the Xbox One — Thea: The Awakening rapidly became one of my favorite games. I played it so much, for so long, that I think I saw just about everything that it had to offer, and when Thea 2: The Shattering…

Rob Covell Sep 18, 2021 0

Building interactions are key to high scores and a long game. Each building has a base score that can be modified by placing it near certain other buildings. Mansions like to be near city centres, whilst a shaman hut wants to be near…

Rob Covell Sep 2, 2021 0

Night Book was filmed entirely during lockdown, with the actors not actually doing any scenes in person. In terms of developing an FMV game, this is really quite an impressive challenge to undertake, and I have a lot of respect for Wales…

JD Saltz Aug 26, 2021 0

In “We-go” tactics games, turns are removed altogether and the player and enemies move simultaneously. Broken Lines is the most recent iteration of this style and a darn good implementation of it too. Instead of turns, the gameplay in…

Sunless Skies — Sail the seven skies!

Rob Covell Aug 11, 2021 0

Yes, Sunless Skies is a rogue-lite, and a hard one at that, but not in quite the same way as many. Your death doesn’t reset the game, rather you create a new captain, who follows your legacy by claiming some of what you’ve lost before…

Warhammer 40,000: Space Wolf is not the 40k Tactical Strategy game you are looking for

Matthew Smail Aug 4, 2021 0

I like to think that reviewers such as myself keep an open mind. After all, games are very rarely made by people who don’t care about the subject matter — especially not when you’re talking about independent games that are created outside…

Ender Lilies – Symphony of the Blight

Alex Wilmot Jul 24, 2021 0

First things first, this isn’t a “souls-like”. At first glance it looks like one; hopeless premise — check, mystical fantasy setting — check, massive punishing bosses — check.

Bookbound Brigade offers a novel twist on Metroidvania, but is it too tough for most?

Matthew Smail Jul 17, 2021 0

I have to admit that sometimes as a reviewer, it’s hard to motivate yourself to play certain games. The idea or concept might appeal, but once you start playing, some games can feel like a slog. Whilst this is usually because they are bad…

Dann Sullivan Jul 14, 2021 0

The original Alex Kidd launched in the second half of the 80s and was perhaps best known because it was pre-installed on a lot of the Master System consoles. Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX is an in-depth remaster of the original game,…
