Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PC It's rare that I'm at a loss as to how to describe a game in a few words, but Akatsuki: Lord of the Dawn (Hereafter simply referred to as "Askatsuki".) has me a bit stumped. It's probably best described as a real-time strategy RPG, but there's so much more to it than that. It's out now on the Nintendo Switch and PC by way of Zoo Corporation, and we're going to be taking a look at the Nintendo Switch version today. This is going to be a strange one, so let's get right into it!

Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 SokoFrog is a Sokoban-like game that's out now on all major consoles. As the name implies, it plays in the style of the classic video game, Sokoban. For those that aren't familiar with it, Sokoban is a puzzle game that relies on a block-pushing mechanic to make up its gameplay. There actually seems to be a bit of resurgence in Sokoban-likes, and SokoFrog is releasing with a surprising amount of competition. What does SokoFrog offer that makes it unique? Well, we're going to be taking a look at the Nintendo Switch version today and hopefully find out! Let's get into it! By Al  Players: 1-4 (Local) 1-8 (Online)
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PC If you've ever wanted to play an asymmetrical survival game like Dead by Daylight or Friday the 13th: The Game, but also want the tongue-in-cheek humor of Luigi's Mansion, then OBAKEIDORO! is the game for you! Developed and published by FREE STYLE Inc., this game released on the Switch and PC way back in 2019. We're a little late to the party, but we're going to be taking a look at the Switch version today. It's not often that we review a game like this, so let's not waste any more time with introductions. Let's dive right in! By Manuel  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC Being a huge fan of visual novels, I couldn't help but get excited when I learned about the release of Sunny Café. A visual novel that centers on Taiwanese café culture isn't something you see every day, and it's rather amazing that we're getting it in the West at all. It's out now on the Switch, PS4, PS5, and PC, and we're going to be taking a look at the Switch version today. Was my excitement for the game justified? Just how deep do the coffee connections go? How does it compare to visual novels from Japan? Hopefully we're going to answer all those questions and more in the review! Let's dive into it! By Al  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 You'd think that a game called Life of Slime would be a cozy slice-of-life sim or something similar, and while some of those elements are present, it's actually one of the strangest games I've played in recent memory. Coming soon to the Switch, PS4, and PS5, Life of Slime is a game that defies all genre norms and expectations. We're going to be taking a look at the Nintendo Switch version today, and explore exactly what I mean by that last statement. This is going to be an odd one, so let's dive right into it!

Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC Knowledge Keeper is a puzzle game that is developed and published by Sometimes You. It’s coming soon to all major platforms, and we're going to be taking a look at the Nintendo Switch version today. Puzzle games can be very hit or miss, but this small indie release has a lot going for it. Seeing as the puzzles aren't going to solve themselves, let's dive right in and get on with the review already! By Al  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 Retro-inspired 2D action games aren't exactly a rarity these days, so the game we're going to be looking at today has a hard road ahead if it wants to stand out in an already crowded scene. Coming soon to consoles, following an earlier release on Steam, we have 7 Days Heroes. 7 Days Heroes features a team of four heroes who find themselves up against a horde of zombies. That setup isn't exactly the most unique, but let’s take a closer look at the Nintendo Switch version and see what exactly this game has to offer. We have just seven days to save the world, so we better jump straight into it! A Classic RPG Makes the Journey West: A Xuan-Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond The Mountains Review3/28/2024 By Manuel  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PC The Xuan-Yuan Sword series is arguably one of the important RPG series of all time, while also being one of the most unknown. Created by Taiwanese developer SOFTSTAR Entertainment, this long-running series has seen about a dozen mainline and spin-off entries since its debut in 1990. Along with The Legend of Sword and Fairy series, it's on par with gaming giants like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. I've made it my mission to play as many titles in the series as I can, but this has proven to be difficult as few of them are available in English. Thankfully that's been changing in recent years, with the two most recent games in the franchise receiving Western releases. While older titles still remain just out of reach, we're going to be looking at one that's finally made the trip overseas. Xuan-Yuan Sword III: Mists Beyond The Mountains originally released on PC back in 1999, and saw a remake for mobile devices in 2017. That version was eventually ported back to PC, and it's now available in English thanks to publisher EastAsiaSoft. While it's available on both the PC and Nintendo Switch, we're going to be taking a look at the PC version today. Was the decades long wait worth it? What exactly makes this series so special? Well, we're going to be diving into it in the hopes of answering those very questions, and maybe lots more! |
