Mages of Mystralia is a cracking game. It successfully captures the feel of 16 bit adventures and combines them with a fantastic spellcrafting system and the sidequests and character development of modern action RPGs. It isn’t the longest game and some may find the price a little steep given how...

Perhaps most frustrating, however, is the random letter mechanic. I have yet to find a 10 letter word (for which there is a trophy) due to this feature and I have completed the main game and made a significant dent into the dungeon. I even resorted to pausing and using...

It is not flawless, but the occasional niggles are outweighed by...
Overall, Slain: Back From Hell is a fun game. Despite the critical tone of much of this review, I very much enjoyed my time with Bathoryn and will be going back to try and unlock the rest of those no-hit boss achievements. It is best to go in with a...
