LET’S RUB THIS LAMP! After four long years, Shantae is finally back. Last we saw of her, she was rescuing Scuttle Town in Half-Genie Hero. Things are a bit different now. Our favorite purple-haired Waifu is on vacation. In a genre I’ve lovingly dubbed “The Waifu Metroidvania”, Shantae will harness her magical prowess to defeat a new threat in this silly adventure. […]

Streets of Rage 4 – Review | Punch You In the Face
I grew up in the 90’s; the era of Arcades and DDR competitions. Consoles themselves were home to titles whose sole objective was getting the highest score. Double Dragon and Streets of Rage were two franchises I frequented. The game-play was so addictive. It was also nice to be unlocking extra additions simply by playing the game. Something that […]
Children of Zodiarcs – Review | Roll of the Dice
Introduction In a world filled with excellent tactical RPG’s, you need a pretty unique hook. Something that’ll grab a person and pull them in. Get it, because that’s what hooks do. Children of Zodiarcs got it, and they nailed it. The trailer sunk its claws into me. A part from its unique name and my […]
One Step from Eden – Review | A Foot at a Time
Introduction For a year and a half, I’ve followed this game quite closely. My obsession for it came about once I heard it’s inspiration. See, growing up, I was a huge Mega Man fanboy.

Dead or School – Review | Anime Femme Fatale
Introduction I’d describe Dead or School as a RPG hack-and-slash with a sprinkling of brawler. Not exactly your conventional one either. Fan-Service reigns supreme.

Langrisser 1 & 2 – Review | A Hero’s Introspection
Introduction Langrisser was first introduced back in ‘91. That’s almost 29 years ago. Man, my back hurt writing that. Creaky bones aside, this franchise always eluded me. Sure, I heard of it growing up, but I was never interested enough to check it out. The story remained the same with each subsequent entry. Eventually, it […]
Destiny Connect: Tick-Tock Traveller – Review
Introduction I’ve written reviews on an inconsistent basis for years now. Whenever I cover a game, I try to always deliver an unbiased opinion. The games I usually look at are ones I feel have potential. So, when I had the choice to look at Destiny Connect: Tick-Tock Travellers, I was wary. Actually, no, that’s […]
Hero Must Die. Again. – Review | Worthy Resurrection?
Introduction Growing up, I was enamored by one particular genre out of all of them. You could say it was an unhealthy attachment. JRPG’s were always a part of who I am. For as long as I can remember, they were always present. I can recall watching my dad play titles like Tales of Destiny or […]
Kingdom Rush Frontiers – Review | Kill Everything!
Introduction I’ll be frank with all of you, Kingdom Rush Frontiers is a mobile port. I know, I know, that probably caused half of you to click off. Hear me out first. Growing up, I went through this weird stage of cellphone gaming. I’d go out and buy $100 iTunes cards just to buy a […]
