There really is not a lot to say about Damascus Gear: Operation Tokyo, where it does excel is that the gameplay is tight and the loot system is addictive. The narrative however is a bore, so oftentimes it does feel like there’s no real point to it and the stakes...
While it’s a little on the short side, Kirby Star Allies provides plenty of colourful fun throughout its story. While the bonus modes are largely a miss, there are plenty of secrets for dedicated players to find in the levels and some especially difficult puzzles to solve. HAL Laboratory may...
DJMax Respect is largely based on previous games, and is in effect closer to a “HD Remaster” than a wholly new game, but the audience for the franchise has been small enough previous that for most people that won’t matter. What will matter more is that you’re going to want...
The tiniest of oddities and issues keep me from loving Edo Blossoms quite as much as I love Kyoto Winds. But then, the latter is a game I would have played a half dozen times by now, if not more. Being a slightly weaker sequel to that by the tiniest...
Dragon Sinker’s strength is that, in being such a slavish homage to one of the greatest JRPGs ever made, it too manages to be more playable than many of the original story JRPGs that Kemco produces. It is an endlessly replayable formula that the developers are copying wholesale, after all....
Sony recently published the finest VR game that we’ve seen to date in Moss. That game is packed full of soul, creativity, wit and intelligence. It makes me very sad to think that Bravo Team will probably outsell it. And, worse, at a time where VR is still trying to...
To say that The 25th Ward is niche would be an understatement, but that’s what’s so impressive about it. It respects the intelligence of its players, allowing them to wade through the feverish surrealism that the game often depicts, and melds that perfectly with a traditional noir thriller than Raymond...
Rad Rodgers is still a reasonably fun experience with decent platforming, highly detailed environments and a funky soundtrack. The game despite the obvious padding is a great length for both casual gameplay and for someone who wants to finish it in one sitting. The misfiring humour and weak standard of...
It’s that sort of depth that makes Fe’s story so affecting, even if it seems quite straightforward and even predictable on the surface. I saw every twist from a mile out, and yet I never felt like the story suffered as a result. Rather, Fe is a fairy tale: the...
Ultimately, the “gameplay” stuff isn’t really relevant to what Mulaka is, or wants to be. First and foremost, this is designed to both preserve the story of a native peoples, and then share it with others, so that they might learn something about a culture they may well have never...
Zwei! The Arges Adventure is a lovely little title from Falcom that I am very happy was localised after the success of its successor. If you’ve been been needing some lighthearted dungeon crawling or have already played the localised sequel and want to know how the series began, than you’ll...
