Arcadian Atlas
The Nintendo Switch has no shortage of tactical RPGs. So, how does an indie developer help their entry stand out in the genre? In the case of Arcadian Atlas, it's the soundtrack of all things.Read More
Astlibra Revision is not just another Metroidvania or side-scrolling hack-and-slash, it's a surprisingly deep action game that will challenge even veteran players from the onset…depending upon your choice of difficulty, anyway.Read More
Living in a world that's cursed to be colorless, our heroine ventures into the Castlevania-like depths of Talos to root out the source of its corruption. But she's not alone; she has a surprisingly handy magical teddy bear.Read More
As far as rhythm games go, Super Crazy Rhythm Castle is, indeed, one of the craziest. But is it super? That depends upon how you're playing it.Read More
In Long Gone Days, we're presented with a soldier who realizes that maybe he's not on the side of the "good guys." That maybe he shouldn't blindly accept orders from his superiors. What an optimistic take on war. Let me explain.Read More
If you've played any Metroidvania before this, you know what to expect. That's not to say Ebenezer and the Invisible World isn't an entertaining game at parts, but the most unique thing about it is its premise and art direction.Read More

Hello Kitty and Friends Happiness Parade is an upbeat, breezy, and bouncy rhythm game that's enjoyable enough to spend some time with. Provided you have nothing against Hello Kitty. Or parades. Or happiness.Read More
I enjoy when video games don't behave the way you expect. It doesn't happen often in this algorithm-driven world of entertainment, and that's why it's refreshing to occasionally play a unique game like World of Horror.Read More
Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless will overwhelm new players at the start. But once you get over the hump (perhaps with the help of an online guide), it'll likely become one of the most unique and inviting SRPGs you've played in quite some time.Read More
What do you want out of a dungeon-crawling RPG. Hundreds of spells? Stunning graphics? Multiplayer? Look elsewhere. Slick combat? Charming visuals? A rapid gameplay loop? Stick around.Read More
Trombone Champ
Trombone Champ doesn't really want you to become good at it. In some songs, I'd argue it doesn't even let you. The songs feel more like slapstick comedy sound queues, and that means the game is more fun to play with your (band) mates.Read More
