Stronghold Warlords transposes the classic strategy game onto a new East Asian setting. I have a bit of a soft spot for the Stronghold franchise. The hybrid of real-time strategy and city-builder has been a PC gaming comfort food since it debuted all the way back in 2001. Stronghold developer Firefly Studios never reinvents the wheel with new […]

There’s a lot going on with Re:Legend, the strange but charming new title from Kickstarter upstart Magnus Games Studio and publisher 505 Games. It might even have too much going on to appreciate at first: I heard it compared to Fantasy Life, Rune Factory, Monster Hunter, Monster Rancher, Story of Seasons, Stardew Valley, and Ever

Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars, the new game from Palindrome Interactive and Kalypso Media Group, hasn’t lit the world aflame since its somewhat muted reveal. It might not be the best strategy to introduce a brand new intellectual property with complex mechanics and deep, intersecting gameplay systems via a minute-long animated cinematic. It’s a shame too, because

Journey to the Savage Planet was one of the surprises of E3 2019, where its self-described “earnest comedy” charmed nearly everyone who got to lay their hands on it at 505 Games’s meeting rooms. After spending an hour exploring the world of Journey to the Savage Planet, I sat down for a short chat with
I flung my pastel pink jelly bean body against the doorway’s twisted patterns with reckless abandon, but it was no use. This was not the door-hole for me, and I winced as a neon-blue competitor repeated the same task two doors down, only for the door to fall and the path to open. They were

Carrion, the new pixel-art delight from publisher Devolver Digital and developer Phobia Game Studio, claims to be a “reverse horror” game– a horror game where you play as the terror, not the terrorized. Yet I found that during my hands-on with Carrion at E3, I spent more time laughing out loud than shrinking in fear. And

There are so many different things going on with The Riftbreaker that it’s hard to know where to start: it’s a bit action-RPG, a bit real-time strategy, a bit tower defense with a touch of twin-stick shooter. It’s an interesting cocktail: two parts Starcraft, a dash of Dungeon Defenders, a jigger of Diablo and garnish with

Cris Tales is an incredibly charming, stylish game. Everything about it: the lovingly hand-crafted artwork, the unique time-travel mechanics, the old-but-new turn-based battle system, the unique Colombia-inspired fantasy setting. It feels like a love letter to the classic JRPGs of yesterday. There’s a bit of Chrono Trigger with the time travel battle mechanics, a bit

Self-purchased. Reviewed on PC. As an enthusiast of medieval arms and armour, I had always wanted to play Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. Regrettably, I did not buy the game when it was at its peak. Now, the game is pretty much dead and the only players that are present are ballerina dancers exploiting the combat system.
