Introduction Hop onto this boat, grab some sunscreen and join us as I’m your captain in this adventure towards the sea. Let’s raise our sails for this grand voyage to your Summer in Mara, developed and published by Chibig. Before anyone says it, my grandfather has a boat and I’m the third captain in line […]
It Lives? Time has not been kind to the turn-based strategy genre. What was once a bustling facet of the gaming space quietly, and quickly, fell into darkness and obscurity. Pioneers like Square (now Square-Enix) and Nintendo seemingly abandoned the genre and so it sat mostly dormant. This continued until the past year or so […]
Introduction When it comes to playing games, one of the best kind of story-driven experiences are the ones that take you on an emotional roller coaster and make you feel a certain way. Evan’s Remains accomplishes just that. Developed by Maitan69, who’s based in Argentina, Evan’s Remains is a mystery-thriller puzzle game with only one objective: find […]
BACK WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL… Monster Prom XXL is a Visual Novel/Dating Simulator that’ll have you flirting with your classmates. Whether it’s male or female, there’s no discrimination. I’ve got to applaud this. Not many titles are LGBTQ+ friendly, and it’s a criticism that’s plagued gaming. That’s a thing of the past as they’re […]
One of Many Faces The Nintendo Switch is a melting pot of indie titles, many of which are pretty awful but contribute to the successful smothering of legitimately good games. Roguelikes, arguably my favorite sub-genre, are the most egregious of offenders. It is impossible to search the eShop without nimbly navigating a nefarious nexus of […]
PLANT A POTATO AND SHOOT A BUNNY! While enjoying a peaceful romp in Stardew Valley, a thought cropped up. One thing that would round this experience out would be if I could shoot things. I would love to be able to kill while planting and harvesting. Not just typical foliage either. My mind was specific in what […]
WE‘RE LEGION. WE’RE LIBERATED! An action-adventure with shooter elements. Those are the genres used to describe Liberated. I’ve got to admit, I wouldn’t have guessed if it weren’t for this. At first, watching the trailer gave no hint to this. Sure, there were brief glimpses of in-game shots, but never anything about actual game-play. Still, the […]
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. […]
Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling is a vibrant RPG that’ll have you relishing in its beautiful imagery. A game that surprised me and took all expectations and blew them out of the water. I got a chance to check it out thanks to the lovely folks at Dangen Entertainment. After several, several hours – more than […]
Introduction When one mentions Roguelikes and the Nintendo Switch in the same sentence, it is not uncommon for the masses to roll their eyes. Even as an avid Roguelike fan, I am guilty of this myself. Oversaturation is not a strong enough word to describe the state of the eShop. Grotesquely engorged congestion may be […]
