The name Baldur’s Gate was on the lips of every PC cRPG enthusiast since the dawn of time, a testament to writing and immersion. Taking the world of Dungeons and Dragons with its ruleset and allowing players to effectively craft their own experience while also having a tightly written narrative. Now 20 years on since the […]
As both a Dane and an Englishman, I often feel an ancestral conflict deep in my core. Sure, I was born on the shores of England, but my great-great-great (you get the point) grandpappy probably popped over to your equally-great gran’s abode and raided her pantry. Due to the rising popularity of Viking culture in […]
If you were to explain the concept of “a Legal-Themed video game” it sounds frightfully boring. We’re talking about a profession where a single case can take multiple months and an absurd amount of paperwork to keep track of! …Riveting stuff, right? But take the base elements of a legal trial: a crime or dispute […]
School is a Game? One of the highlights of my schoolboy days was the four years I spent playing Advanced Dungeons and Dragons with my friends. School is hard, people are mostly abhorrent, and finding a tribe is one of the few ways you can get by mostly unscathed. Interestingly enough, Wintermoor Tactics Club manages […]

A survival/action title with elements of rogue-like. […]
A Revival of a Genre? Pen and Paper RPGs have a long, often bizarre history. From the dystopian metropolis of Shadowrun to the Satanic Lucifer summoning potential of Dungeons and Dragons, this unique blend of rules and imagination has enthralled many to join the hip and happening hobby. The ’90s were brimming with PC recreations […]
A Love Letter Every once in a while, a game or franchise comes along that so flawlessly executes its concept that the formula it lays out becomes a sort of genre unto itself. In recent years, one of these titles is the incredible Dark Souls series. It’s very difficult to talk about Mortal Shell without mentioning this, because at […]
Catch, Tame and Train In a world where monster taming games are quite abundant, it takes a decent one to get me hooked. Monster Crown doesn’t disappoint and put me right back in that mindset I was in when I was younger – catch, tame, train and progress, with a considerable amount of time being poured into […]
VIVA LA FRANCE! I’ve come to be a fan of strategy RPGs. As a wee lad, I admit I predominantly played and enjoyed turn-based ones. They’re easy to control and plan out. SRPG’s are a different breed. They require more brainpower and are a bit more random. RNG is a big factor in if you connect with […]
