Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC


Koa and the Five Pirates of Mara is a new platforming title that comes to us by way of developers Chibig, Talpa Games, and Undercoders. The world of Mara was first established in 2020's Summer in Mara, but that game was something of a farming sim that featured the same world and characters. While genre shifts like this aren't exactly rare in the world of indie gaming, there are many elements that set Koa apart from your average platformer. We're going to have to do a deep dive into the game to discuss what those are, so let's get going!

Krzyżacy: Knights of The Cross is a Deckbuilding RPG that comes by way of Olive Panda Studios. It also has a rather unique historical setting as it takes place in the world of the historical novel of the same name that involves the Polish-Lithuanian-Teutonic War that took place in the early 15th century. Besides its setting Knights of The Cross also stands out with its party building mechanics, its anime art style, and sprite graphics that are reminiscent of HD 2D titles.

Crimson Tactics: Rise of The White Banner is a Strategy RPG developed by Black March Studios. It is largely inspired by other SRPG titles like Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre, and recently released on Steam Early Access.

Game Review: OMNIMUS

Platforms: Nintendo Switch


OMNIMUS is a visual novel with a sci-fi setting that recently released for the Nintendo Switch. It was previously released on Steam in Russian, and seems to have had a localization effort that's lead to its current form. Visual novels on the Switch are nothing new, but OMNIMUS changes things up with a story and setting that usually don't see in the genre, while still maintaining the romance elements and anime art style one expects. Since the game is rather short this review probably won't go into full depth into just how crazy unique that story is, but let's examine OMNIMUS fully and see if this is a world you're going to want to jump into!
