What do you get when you throw a bard into an action/platformer on the Nintendo Switch? Let’s find out in my review for The Bard’s Gold! The Bard’s Gold is an action/platformer with some rpg elements. There isn’t much of a story; Bard’s Gold focuses on its gameplay. Three difficulty settings are provided: Normal, Retro Mode, and Rogue-Lite. Normal is probably the easiest setting but does come with some drawbacks. In normal mode, the player is only given three lives…

More Thoughts From Me #161: 8-Bit Adventure Nostalgia Overload
Back in the NES days, I wasn’t into rpgs. I played a lot of platformers and action games. And occasionally, I played 8-bit adventure games too. There are three adventure games that I still think about after all these years: Deja Vu, The Uninvited, and Shadowgate. I hadn’t played these games in years, but then I saw a video that showed a collection called 8-Bit Adventure Anthology Vol. 1 that included all of them. I had to have it! So…

I had heard about Undertale for awhile but I had never played the game until it came to Nintendo Switch. I liked the game and its oddball humor. So when a new game from the same developer was announced I was interested. Of course, making the first chapter free to download and play made me want the game even more. Deltarune is the name of the game and I checked it out. Is it as good as Undertale? I haven’t…
Read MoreAnodyne Review
I took a look at Anodyne earlier in the week and liked it. Now its time to review the game. Is Anodyne an adventure worth taking or should you skip this one? Anodyne is an action/adventure rpg that will remind you of the Legend of Zelda and its humor will remind you of Earthbound. However, Anodyne does have its own unique (dark) story, characters, enemies, and areas to explore. Anodyne’s retro style is very charming and its gameplay is solid.…

Read MoreArmed With A Broom and His Wits: A Look At Anodyne for Nintendo Switch
What do you get when you combine Zelda and Earthbound? If you said Rainbite’s Reverie, then you’re right. But if you also said Anodyne from publisher Noooo you’d be right too. While Anodyne has a slightly darker look to it then Earthbound or Zelda, it shares much in common with both. Anodyne is coming to the Nintendo Switch this Thursday. I received a review copy of it and wanted to give you a glimpse into this unique game’s world. Anodyne…
