The subject of today’s missive is Gothic Classic—a Switch port of the old PC game for you. Don’t get too excited, though, unless you are a fan of the old version or really crave the nostalgia of it. This port may be gothic, but it is far from epic.Read More
Have you ever had a roommate you never had to see or interact with? If this sounds like fun, we have a game for you. Welcome to the tale of Frank and Drake. While I have a few grievances with this title, there is still much to appreciate.Read More
We have a triple header for you today that will put you through your shmuppy paces. Welcome to Ray’z Arcade Chronology from Taito. Yes, this is a straight-up throwback to the original arcade games from the mid-90s, but it's better than that sounds.Read More
Our platformer du jour is Lost Epic. It feels rather epic (I did get lost at some points), so the title seems appropriate. Are you ready to fight the gods and save the world?Read More
Lillemore is one of the most rotten sisters in history. You’ll see why as we go along in Bramble: The Mountain King, Dimfrost Studios and Merge Games’ horror adventure that fully earns its M rating.Read More
GrimGrimoire OnceMore is a port of a PlayStation 2 game from 2007. I do like a good tower defense game, so I was intrigued by the Switch update, but my enthusiasm was met with some mixed realizations while playing the game.Read More
It’s time to take a look at an old Atari title from the Switch perspective. Akka Arrh started as a cabinet arcade game in the ‘80s, but it didn't fair well at the time. Is the revamped version poised to fair better on the Nintendo Switch?Read More
I have not played Toy Soldiers on any other platform, so I thought it might be like playing with the plastic, little, green army guys on a game board. I was wrong on that one; this is really a tower defense game with some extras. Read More
Swordship is touted as a “dodge-em-up”, which is like a shmup, only there are lots (and lots) of things you need to dodge. This time, everything is shooting at you, not the other way around. Shall we "dive" in?Read More
Sifu
Some follow power, some follow honor, and some pursue vengeance. In Sifu, the name of the game is revenge. In the grand Kung Fu theater tradition, the student thinks they have surpassed their master and wants to be the new Number One in town.Read More
Trifox
Our new friend Trifox just wants to unwind at home, but he’s horrified to learn some bad guys have stolen his remote. The cheek of some people!! We all know the lengths to which your average guy will go to find his remote, and Trifox is no exception.Read More
No Place for Bravery may not get a perfect score for originality, but a large portion of what it does is done well. Some things, however, didn’t leave me with the most positive impression.Read More
