Aggelos
Aggelos doesn’t look like an impressive title at first. You’re initially greeted with a default language option set in Japanese, overly simplistic controls, and a cookie cutter story featuring a poor English localization. Thankfully, this is a great case of “first impressions are deceiving”. What could have been yet another...
Yuppie Psycho
What do you get when you take the office culture of a toxic workplace environment and mix it in with the horrors of Silent Hill? You get Yuppie Psycho, a brilliant little top-down pixel art survival horror title from Another Indie and Baroque Decay. Possibly my favourite indie game of...
Anno 1800
After Anno 2070 and Anno 2205, the general consensus was that the series had run its course. Both games had some interesting ideas, but they were forgotten among the uncalled for removal of the series’ staple features and the unnecessary streamlining of what was left. The sudden futuristic turn for...
We live in funny times when it comes to slice of life games. The Harvest Moon games aren’t as acclaimed as they used to be, and the less we talk about that Animal Crossing for Wii U the better, but we have been graced with excellent indie titles to cover...
Words can’t express how much I was looking forward to the full release of Mortal Kombat 11. At the risk of causing mass hysteria from all suburban moms from the early 90’s, I grew up loving these games ever since I was a little kid, playing Trilogy and Mortal Kombat...
Image & Form Games have become a Nindie darling for some time now. They are well known for their audacious titles that spawn multiple genres, all within the same and highly versatile universe of SteamWorld. SteamWorld is an alternate reality where humans have scattered into the underground as steam-powered robots...
Devolver Digital is one of my favorite publishers of all time. After a fantastic outing in 2018, I was excited to see what the company had in stock for 2019. It started off pretty well with the port of Downwell for the Switch and the release of the spectacular Ape...
Eye of the Beholder on the SNES was my first CRPG. Venturing through the vast levels of Undermountain, tinkering with the unprecedented (at the time) number of classes and races available, the real-time combat against hordes of enemies, that game defined the genre. It showed me what video games could...
Katana Zero
Katana Zero is the perfect example of your typical Devolver Digital-endorsed title: a retro-styled game with arcade elements, fast-paced action and a distinctive sense of humor. After experiencing two disappointments in The Red Strings Club and Weedcraft, I was ready for something more akin to the titles that made the...
The Earth Defense Force series is the perfect example of what a cult hit should be. We’re talking about a franchise comprised of ugly, dated, and technically flawed games that have managed to create a loyal following of fans from all over the world due to its “so bad it’s...
Ever played a game that’s so wrong on paper and so devoid of polish, yet you just can’t stop playing it? That’s the best way I can start off my review for Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission. There’s so much wrong in this game, so many signs of lazy...
Every now and again you pick up a game and instantly hate yourself; angry that it took you so long to have played it. This was the exact result when I played Return of the Obra Dinn. While garnering GotY nominations; I noticed. Earning those GotY awards; I was interested....
