At the end of the day, Wizard of Legend is a totally fine arcade-style dungeon crawling roguelite. It’s not near the top of the genre, or even near the top of the genre’s Switch representation, but with the fun two-player experience, it’s a respectable addition. If you’d rather sling spells...
As long as you can deal with some longer load times and some hazy handheld dungeons, Battle Chasers: Nightwar is an excellent modernized take on the old-school JRPG. The combat system is deep and rich, packed with customization and variety. The overworld is nicely streamlined and the dungeons, aside from...
Immortal Redneck is a mechanically solid game. The shooting feels nice, the game moves well, and with the exception of some enemies being absolute bullet sponges and questionable decisions regarding platforming, it feels like a modern take on early ‘90s FPS like Duke Nukem, Doom, and Wolfenstein 3D. The roguelite...
Garage
Garage is a game that, to put it bluntly, feels unfinished. Everything from the less-than-tight gameplay (in a genre all about tightness and control) to its sloppily-missing Chapter 10 makes me feel Garage could have benefitted from more time in the oven. And it’s a shame the game came out...
Raging Justice is what it is: a modern take on a classic arcade beat-’em-up. If all you want is something that reminds you of the Double Dragons of yore, this is a fine way to burn through a night with a friend. But if you’re looking for something substantive or...
The wacky narrative escapades in Death Road to Canada are where it excels, but it falls apart when you actually want to progress. The brutal, random nature too often made me feel like I had little agency in my quest, which made it hard to really care about ever making...
The highest praise and most damning criticism I can give Devious Dungeon is that it is functional and something I could burn time with at a doctor’s office or in a plane. With the consistent stream of games coming to the Switch, you’re better off waiting to see if...
Can this soccer management simulator put it on target?
I can’t help but be impressed with the team over at Pixelated Milk. The sheer amount of content that they were able to pack into Regalia is incredible and the fact that they were able to make it all work is nothing short of outstanding. Apart from the onerous loading...
If roguelike elements are continuing to be the hot independent gaming trend, I’ll tend toward games that make the process more fun. Rogue Aces does a fine job of balancing randomness and giving agency over the flights, and it definitely doesn’t deserve to be buried by the wave of eShop...
When I first picked up South Park The Fractured but Whole, I knew the humor and overall tone of the game would appeal to me, even being a relatively lapsed fan of the series. What I wasn’t so sure of was how well everything else would come together and barring...
