Wizard of Legend 2 Awakens Mystical Co-Op

Alexx Aplin — Tue, 11 Feb 2025 14:00:41 +0000

I’m not usually a Multiplayer type of guy. Certain games catch my attention on a multiplayer scale but usually, I like to play alone. Wizard of Legend 2 however is something that I wouldn’t mind playing with a friend or two. Now, that is actually a possibility. Developer Dead Mage has announced that Wizard of Legend 2 officially has 2-4 player Co-Op. You can play in either Local or Online co-op…

On Your Tail Introduces Chronolens Mechanic

Alexx Aplin — Wed, 06 Nov 2024 14:00:22 +0000

Time is important when investigating a crime. If you don’t get to certain leads fast enough, evidence can be lost, or leads can become dead ends. In On Your Tail, though, a new mechanic makes that less of an issue. While we’re a couple of weeks from the November 21st release, the developer’s most recent deep dive gives us a bit of detail. Memorable Games has revealed a new mechanic called the…

Threads of Time Revealed at TGS

Alexx Aplin — Fri, 27 Sep 2024 15:00:56 +0000

Time elements have been a part of JRPGs for a while now. Indie games have taken a page from Chrono Trigger and really utilized them in fun ways. Cris Tales is a game that comes to mind, but a new game announced at the Tokyo Games Show may take the crown for a bit. Threads of Time is a “2.5D love letter to JRPG classics” developed by Riyo Games. The studio is full of skilled and seasoned…

#BLUD (PC) Review

Mike Reitemeier — Mon, 15 Jul 2024 15:00:19 +0000

Sometimes, the selling point of a game is its art style or presentation. Grabbing the eye of a passing trailer viewer can secure a sale in the first few seconds, and in my case, #BLUD was an easy purchase due to its ability to capture the look of a CalArts cartoon in video game form. Where Cuphead evokes the style of a 1950s cartoon, #BLUD is more akin to modern shows like Steven Universe or…

Coral Island Now Available on PC and Consoles

Alexx Aplin — Thu, 16 Nov 2023 13:00:22 +0000

Life sims are a special sort of breed. Sometimes they’re good, and sometimes they’re bland, but 99% of the time they’re at least a nice distraction. Coral Island caught my attention from the first time I saw its Kickstarter campaign, and developer Stairway Games has been hard at work since Coral Island went into development. Now, Coral Island is finally available in full on PC, Xbox Series X|S…

Mineko’s Night Market (PS5) Review

Mike Reitemeier — Tue, 14 Nov 2023 15:00:30 +0000

Game development is a tall task, and sometimes games can take an immeasurable amount of time to release. Whether it be development hell or a developer who wants to see their vision fully realized, players can wait years upon years for a game to finally come out. In the case of Mineko’s Night Market, some fans have been keen on the title since 2015. I only just caught wind of Mineko’s Night Market…

Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical Is Out Now

Keiran McEwen — Thu, 10 Aug 2023 13:00:35 +0000

I’ve been partial to a couple of gaming musical titles here and there throughout the years, most recently OFK last year. A little bit different, Humble Games and Summerfall Studios’ Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical uses a different art style and adds a bit of mythology. Following a short delay after the conflict with the highly anticipated Baldur’s Gate 3, the story-focused title was set for…

Protodroid DeLTA (PC) Review

Mike Reitemeier — Mon, 22 May 2023 17:00:03 +0000

Mega Man fans have had a bit of a rollercoaster in recent decades. The series tried a reboot with modest success in Mega Man 11, whereas Mighty Number 9 was one of Kickstarter’s first non-success stories. Developer Adam Kareem decided to try his hand at his interpretation of the blue bomber, as Protodroid DeLTA successfully raised $60k for a solo effort that was picked up by Humble Games. So…

Moonscars (PC) Review

Edward Harding — Mon, 21 Nov 2022 20:00:10 +0000

While I have always respected the dark fantasy aesthetic and gameplay style of the Dark Souls franchise, I’ve never actually played any of the games within the series. Moreover, I’ve never really played many games within the Soulslike action-RPG subgenre. Moonscars certainly channels the spirit of Dark Souls and Hollow Knight in both presentation and gameplay. However, I believe there is still a…

Signalis (PC) Review

Samuel Moreno — Wed, 26 Oct 2022 17:00:53 +0000

When a work is meant to evoke a strong sense of nostalgia from its inspirations, there is an interesting balance made between meeting the rose-colored glasses view of what came before it and highlighting the original pieces. The survival horror genre also brings along a far more delicate balance for maintaining a sense of uneasiness without feeling overly difficult or tedious. I wouldn’t blame…
