MONARK is tipped to be the latest standout title published by Nippon Ichi Software. With some tried and tested talent on the development team, will it be the King of the genre or the Ruler of false hope? All Hail, The King of Kings MONARK starts you as any modern-day JRPG tends to do – […]
When one of the greatest producers of turn-based strategy announces a collection of classic games that haven’t seen the light of day for quite some time, I get rather excited. Phantom Brave is a game that I hold near and dear to my heart, and Soul Nomad is one of the few games I haven’t […]
Back when I was a strapping young lad, I was a huge fan of Nippon Ichi Software.
