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! By Al Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox One, XBox Series XS, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC (Steam) It's not often that racing games drop into our review schedule, and the one we have today is a bit on the basic side of things as well. It's probably more think fair to refer to it as "arcade-style", but we'll to that in due course. Super Engine GT Turbo SPEC comes to us by way of EastAsiaSoft, and is currently available on all major platforms. We're going to be taking a look at it today on the Nintendo Switch, though I'm sure that all versions will be similar to each other. This is going to be a quick one, so let's just jump straight to the review! By Manuel Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PC (Steam) I never thought that I'd ever review a game that can be described as a scrapbook simulator, but I guess there's a first time for everything. Instants is probably not what one would first think of when they hear "_____ simulator", but it is a game that places scrapbooking front and center. It's also something of a cozy puzzle game, but we'll get to that in due course. It's out now on PC and the Nintendo Switch, and we're going to be taking a look at the Switch version here. There really isn't any need for further intro, so let's dive right in! By Al Players: 1
Platforms: Meta Quest, Steam VR, PlayStation VR2 We've all seen those types of games on various platforms during our time as gamers: the "_____ Simulator" games. Electrician Simulator VR is one of those of course, but it's also so much more than that. It's been out for a while on PC and consoles, and we've previously looked at it on the Nintendo Switch. There have been a lot of updates to the game since its release, and it's now available on all popular VR platforms. We're going to be taking a look at it today on the Meta Quest, and maybe we'll revisit it on consoles here and there for comparison. There's going to be a lot to go over here, so let's dive right in!

Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox One, XBox Series XS, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 I'm a sucker for school management sims, and I play just about any I can get my hands on. (Check out my review for Let's School HERE for an example!) Spellcaster University actually popped up on my radar a few years ago, as it seemed to be a magic-centric alternative to Two Point University. (Even though it came out first.) Needless to say, I was excited when I heard that it would be coming to consoles. Developed by Sneaky Yak Studio, and published by Red Art Games, it's available now on all major platforms, and we're going to be taking a look at it today on the Nintendo Switch. There's a lot to go over in this one, so let's dive right in! By Manuel Players: 1
Platforms: PC (Steam) Sometimes games pop out of absolute nowhere for us to review, and the one we're going to look at today is one of those. Kid Mystic: Enchanted Edition is a re-release of a classic PC Action RPG from 1999, and I went into it completely blind. I thought it looked cute and silly, but had no idea what I was getting into beyond that it was a re-release. It currently is only available on PC, and we're going to see if this game is worth checking out or not. There's really no need for further intro, so let's dive right in! |
