The Capcom Fighting Collections, Arcade Classics, Beat 'Em Up Bundles, and more have been pretty good up to this point, but there’s still so many amazing Capcom games and fighters that haven’t been available in reasonable form up to this point. Fortunately, another basket of gems is almost here in...
The creation of The Midnight Walk is an interesting story in itself. According to its developer, MoonHood, every single asset within the game was first handcrafted with real clay before being placed and animated into the game world. That level of passion is easily seen and felt not just in...
Tempest Rising
Tempest Rising is happy to play it safe. That's fine, sometimes. Games don't have to constantly innovate or be daring to make themselves interesting. However, Tempest Rising takes so few risks and does so little with the real-time strategy formula that it's hard not to see it as a missed...
Shotgun Cop Man
A pumping soundtrack. The sounds of endless bullets. Naughty words that start with “eff” and rhyme with “pluck.” Yep, it’s time for a Devolver Digital-ass Devolver Digital review. Hopefully this one’s better than Anger Foot.
Skin Deep
Before Skin Deep came across my desk, I had never even heard of it. That’s not to say there’s anything wrong, but that I went in completely blind. What is this game? Who knows, let’s just boot this bad boy up and see what happens. That’s probably for the best,...
Garou: Mark of the Wolves came out in 1999. Now, it’s not like SNK fans have been starved to see their favorite characters. Terry Bogard and the Fatal Fury crew have shown up in plenty of King of Fighters games, and even crossed over to other franchises like (most recently)...
When Danganronpa creator Kazutaka Kodaka and Zero Escape/AI: Somnium Files creator Kotaro Uchikoshi formed (with other industry legends like composer Masafumi Takada) Too Kyo Games, fans of both series wondered if these modern visual novel/adventure game legends would collaborate. It took a while, but that day has finally come. The...
Sunderfolk
For some reason or another, a tabletop game night might not work out for everybody. Maybe there's too much hassle in setting up and cleaning when it's all over. It's possible that the whole group can't make it out. Perhaps there are only a few minutes to spare in a...
Don't Nod Montreal has been in the business of coming-of-age tales for more than a decade. With Life is Strange in the rear view mirror, the team has moved on to a new story focused around four friends who came together one magical summer and the trauma that tore them...
Readers, if you recognize my name, you probably know I love the heck out of classical, turn-based RPGs. I’m always happy in front of games like Dragon Quest, SaGa, Shin Megami Tensei, Final Fantasy, and other weird stuff that doesn’t have huge brand power. But if you asked me to...
Rusty Rabbit
Nitroplus’ Rusty Rabbit is an easy hook. The key visuals show us a bipedal rabbit, wearing a patched-up bomber jacket, chomping on a carrot like a cigar, with a village made of scrap junk on the side of a frozen mountain in the background. Learning the rabbit pilots a mech...
Nintendo had a few surprises for its last Switch-focused Direct. Among them was a new visual novel from Disney and the folks at Bloom Digital Media. With Bloom being the team behind games like Later Daters and LongStory, it offered some encouragement that this story of Disney baddies hanging out...
