Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox One, XBox Series XS, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC (Steam) We have a sort of updated review for everyone today. Starlight Legacy is a retru-themed RPG that comes to us by way of developer Decafesoft, and publisher EastAsiaSoft. It's a game that I followed all throughout its development, and I even reviewed it during its original launch on PC. It's now available on all current consoles, and we're going to be taking a look at the PlayStation 5 version today. This will mostly be an update review, but there will be some new takes and bits here and there as well. That's enough for an intro, let's just get into the review already.

Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox One, XBox Series XS, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC (Steam) It's not often that a game comes around that brings up long-forgotten memories of my past, but that's exactly what we happened when the game we're going to look at today popped onto my radar. Kaiju Big Battel: Fighto Fantasy (Which I'm going to refer to as simply "Kaiju Big Battel" from here on.) is a retro-inspired RPG based on the Kaiju Big Battel media franchise, and it originally released on PC and mobile devices back in 2018. It took nearly a decade, but it's finally made leap to consoles, and it's now available on just about every current platform. I was once a big fan of the KBB franchise, and playing this game really took me back to my youth. Anyway, we're going to be taking a look at the game on the Nintendo Switch here, though I'm sure all versions are identical. There's a lot to go over in this one, so let's get straight to the review!

Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 We're no strangers to fighting games that have an anime art style here at A-to-J, but Alice Gear Aegis CS: Concerto of Simulatrix is quite a bit different from what probably pops into your head when you think of that genre. Alice Gear Aegis CS: Concerto of Simulatrix (hereafter simply referred to as "Alice Gear Aegis") is an arena fighting game that released on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 last year. It's the first console release in a series of games that originated on mobile platforms. Hearing "mobile" anything will definitely put off a lot of people right away, but we're going to put that aside and take a look at the PS5 version today. This is going to be quite the ride, so let's get right into it! By Manuel  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch It's been nearly two years since I reviewed the Chinese visual novel Mystery Lover (A review you can find HERE!), and that game had a story that stuck with me long after I finished it. I of course tried to find out all I could about the developer and learned that there was already a sequel, but it was Chinese only. From there I waited patiently hoping for a US release at some point, and I'm glad to say that it finally happened. Mystery Lover 2: Forgotten Truth is developed by Never Knows Best, published by Cyberisle Games, and is currently a Nintendo Switch exclusive. It also has a story that isn't a direct continuation of the first. I personally was hoping for more direct follow-up, but I kept my mind open to all possibilities. There's going to be a lot to cover in this one, so let's just get straight to the review! By Al  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox One, XBox Series XS, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC (Steam) We've reviewed a lot of shooters recently at A-to-J Connections, but not too many of them have the charm and character of the game we're going to look at today. Exo-Calibre is an anime-themed vertical shooter developed by Vampixel Games, and published by EastAsiaSoft. It's out now on all major platforms, and we're going to be taking a look at the game on the Nintendo Switch here. There's a lot to go over in this one, so let's get straight to the review!

Platforms: PC (Steam) There was a time when I looked high and low for quality survivors-like games, but I couldn’t find any that filled the void left after I fully completed Vampire Survivors. This journey has brought me to several games of questionable quality, and some that fell just short of perfection. The game we're going to be looking at today comes to us by way of developer BINGOBELL, and publisher BeStarsGames. It's called Dark Fairy Tale: Dreamland Survivors, and it's a fairy tale-themed game that's currently a Steam exclusive. There's really no need for further intro, so let's dive right in!

Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox One, XBox Series XS, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC (Steam) It's been a while since we've reviewed a shmup title here at A-to-J, and EastAsiaSoft is here to break that streak for us. Tiny Pixels Vol. 1 - Ninpo Blast (Which I'm going to refer to as simply "Ninpo Blast" from here on.) is a vertical shooter with roguelike elements that released last year on all major platforms, and it seems to be both developed and published by EastAsiaSoft themselves. We decided to take a look at it now since it's getting a sequel of sorts soon, so the wait isn't as random as it may seem. We're going to be trying out the game on the Nintendo Switch today, though it's safe to say that all versions are identical. This is going to be a quick one, so let's dive right in!

Platforms: PC (Steam) I've been a sucker for anything in the survivors-like genre ever since I first played Vampire Survivors last year. I was a bit late to the party, but I've since picked up several other similar games, and I try to snatch every single one that comes across our desk for review. Banner of Conquest is survivors-like game that is set in China's Three Kingdoms Period, and it comes to us by way of developer Haojoy Game, and publisher 2P Games. It's currently a Steam exclusive, and is currently part of 2P Games' Steam Summer Sale at the time of this writing. Considering that this review has something of a time limit attached to it, let's just dive right in! |
