Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC (Steam) Mondealy is an adventure game with a retro 2D aesthetic that claims to be inspired by games like Undertale, Oneshot, and Stardew Valley. I know two of those games, and even though I think the inspirations from Stardew Valley are kind of light, the game borrows a lot of the vibes from Undertale. Now Mondealy isn't an RPG, but it does feature a large cast of characters that inhabit a fantasy world very different from our own. Seeing as it's now available on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 & 5, and PC, we're going to dive into the game and see if the world of Dargratt (Yeah, "Mondealy" is the name of the human world!) is one you're going to want to visit this summer!

Platforms: PC (Steam) I don't envy anyone who has to work on retro game, as they surely must be very difficult to create. Not only do you have to retain elements that made the game great originally, but you also have to make it approachable to a new audience. Montezuma's Revenge - The 40th Anniversary Edition is the latest retro game remake on the market, and this one revives a computer game that originally released all the way back in 1984. This retro action platformer is sometimes cited as an early example of the Metroidvania genre, so it's re-release isn't without some fanfare. It's out now on Steam by way of publisher EastAsiaSoft, and we're going to be taking a look at it today and see if its pedigree warrants picking it up. There's a lot to cover in this one, so let's dive in! By Manuel  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch (Hong Kong eShop Only), PC (GoG) Today we're going to be taking a look at the dungeon crawling JRPG, Tokyo Clanpool. Previously only available on the PlayStation Vita in Japan, it's now getting an official US release. Tokyo Clanpool is developed by Compile Heart, and this new version comes to us by way of publisher EastAsiaSoft. There's a lot to talk about regarding exactly how it got here, but we'll leave that for later. What's important now are the platforms you can currently play it on. If you're a PC gamer, you can get it on GOG rather easily, but things get a bit more complicated if you want to play it on the Nintendo Switch. Playing it there means you'll either have to get yourself a physical copy, or you'll have to head over to the Hong Kong Switch eShop and pick it up there. I'll get into that later on too, but suffice it to say that this is going to be a difficult game to talk about. I actually delayed this review for weeks since I wasn't sure how to approach it. Anyhow, we're going to be looking at the Switch version here, though I'm sure the GOG release is comparable. This is going to be a long one, so let's just get to the review already! By Al  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC (Steam) Adventure games and visual novels are genres that have a lot of crossover when it comes down to gameplay, and today we'll be looking at a game that mixes those two gameplay concepts a bit more than most others. The Mildew Children is a dark fantasy visual novel that also features some adventure game-style gameplay, as well as quick-time events. It's developed by The Glowing Stones, published by Valkyrie Initiative, and it recently arrived on most major consoles following an earlier PC release. We have a lot to cover in this one, so let's dive right into it! By Al  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox Series I've reviewed a lot of Exit 8-likes recently, and they've made me long for a true horror game to sink my teeth into. Thankfully Dreamless came along just in time to fulfill that desire! Dreamless isn't quite survival horror, but does deliver the scares you'd expect from a horror-themed game. It released on PC last year, and is coming soon to the Nintendo Switch and XBox Series of consoles. We're going to be taking a look at it on the Nintendo Switch, and see if this one is worth your time. There really isn't a need for further intro, so let's dive right in! By Manuel  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch It's not often that I review a game where I'm at a loss for words as to what I'm going to say about it, but that's exactly what we get here. Defying all genres, Once Again is a game that comes to us by way of developer RB Wolf Design, and publisher Amata K.K. It's out now on the Nintendo Switch, but saw a previous release on Steam. We're going to be taking a look at the Switch version today, and see if it's something you're going to want to pick up. There's really no need for further intro here, so let's dive in!

Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC (Steam) I've been reviewing a lot of games that emulate the formula of The Exit 8 recently, and I'm beginning to wonder if it's been intentional or not. I actually came across The Exit Project: Backstreets thinking that it was more of a survival horror game than an Exit 8-like, but found that it was upon starting it up. Backing up a bit, The Exit Project: Backstreets is a game developed and published by Nostra Games, and available now on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation consoles, and PC. We're going to be taking a look at the Nintendo Switch version today, though I'm sure they're all similar to each other. Intros out of the way, let's dive in! By Rae  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PC (Steam) It’sssss Rae with yet another non-otome game! This time around we have something a little different than what I would normally play- a BL stat-raising game, Voice Love On Air. I have played explicit yaoi games in the past, but I was never one to play the more light-hearted (and less... tantalizing) BL genre. However, I do love a good stat raising game! There is nothing that beats seeing my decisions have a fruitful outcome. |
