Almost 18 years since its first release, Onimusha: Warlords has been remastered for current generation consoles in a mostly surprising move by Capcom. Originally developed based on the concept of Resident Evil, but in a ninja setting, Onimusha: Warlords holds up very well. While I’ve never experienced the title in...
Bladed Fury
Bladed Fury, now out on Steam, is a feast for the eyes. Stunningly detailed, hand-crafted artwork carries the player through a tale of a princess framed by demons. You play as Ji, Princess to a kingdom where everything seems fine. You and your sister hang out most days and things...
Double Cross
Developed by 13AM Games, Double Cross is that hearty 90’s Saturday morning cartoon come to life, both in its narrative and art style. Players take on the role of Zahra Sinclair, one of the top agents of the time and reality hopping agency R.I.F.T. which exists to keep balance between...
Below
Below is an interesting game to dissect. My first few hours were enthralling. The gorgeous art style, hauntingly beautiful music, and Zelda-esque hack-and-slash combat were exactly what I wanted when I first laid eyes on it all the way back in 2013 when the Xbox One was first announced. Now,...
Sundered originally released in 2017, by the same developers of Jotun and while I missed the opportunity to jump into this metroidvania style hack-and-slash, almost two years later they’ve released the Eldritch Edition completed with brand new updates. With a bit more content to try out, I thought it was...
Coffee Crisis
Just hearing the title Coffee Crisis, you’d be forgiven for assuming that this game is a restaurant sim in which you prepare and serve cups of joe to impatient coffee-shop patrons. No, in this case, Mega Cat Studios has served up more of a 90s-style beat-em-up for Switch fans, a...
It’s certainly not a game for everyone. In fact it might have been an irredeemably depressing experience, except that it does have some interesting elements. There’s a fair bit of spycraft to the game, as you set up surveillance on your targets using devices like hidden cameras. Probably the most...
Rival Megagun
Tired of just shooting at “the bad guys” in a shmup? How about pitting yourself against not only wave after wave of enemies but other players as well? That’s the concept of Rival Megagun from Spacewave Software. As someone who fairly regularly indulges in the shoot ’em up genre, this...
Ashen
Ashen is full of nonsense. I don’t mean its gameplay. The fighting, exploring, advancement and traversal mechanics are all well thought out and a ton of fun. I’m talking about the story. Every time a character in Ashen speaks, my eyes start to glaze over. Then I snap back to...
Dusk
If I could shake the creator of Dusk, David Szymanski’s, hand I would. I know it would be a firm, agreeable handshake with a slight nod and a smile. It’d be my sincere thanks given for getting me back to a memory I had nearly forgotten in my adulthood: the...
Gris
GRIS is truly hard to describe. It’s a moving painting, a surreal experience starting in pale colors but eventually highlighted by vibrant colors. Each set piece looks like it belongs in a museum, a beauty truly exhilarating to watch in motion. Couple that with a truly moving story – even...
Imagine waking up one morning to realize the world isn’t quite what you thought it was. That child-like innocence of being protected from the harsh reality of the world stripped away, and yet the only thing you have to keep you safe is… a band of misfit thieving cats? NAIRI:...
