Cthulhu Tactics is out now for the Playstation 4. Here is how the game is described via the official press release: “Achtung!

I recently got a Playstation 4. Since day one, I’ve wanted to review a game for the system. And then Ratalaika Games provided me with a PS4 review code for Shadow of Loot Box. This is my first Playstation 4 review. Did I enjoy the game? I wanted to love Shadow of Loot Box. When I first started the game, I liked its retro blocky graphics and its interesting “unlock almost everything” concept. Unfortunately, the more I played the game,…

Released late last month, The Colonists is a casual city builder from the one-man, UK-based indie developer Codebyfire. Inspired by classic games such as The Settlers and the Anno series, The Colonists adds some welcome twists and innovation to a genre that at times can fall into a very repetitive pattern.

Home Sweet Home is a first-person indie-horror game inspired by Thai myths and beliefs that was recently released on PS4 and Xbox One from Thai developer Yggdrazil. Yggdrazil is not known for game creation, as it boasts projects in VFX, Animation, Art Design and Online-Editing categories, with very little focus on games. For a company with such a diverse portfolio, it would be an understatement to say I was surprised with the overall quality of Home Sweet Home.

Two-man indie developer out of Spain, Isolated Games, has begun an enormous undertaking. They are in the process of developing Between The Stars, an open-world space-themed action RPG with roguelike elements. If you think that is a mouthful to say, imagine what it must be like for a two-man team to create. While this may seem a monumental task, the guys at Isolated Games have made significant strides and recently released a demo of the game which I simply had to try out!

I was born in the 1980s. So for me, there is a lot of nostalgia to be found in those years. The 90s, not so much, but there was so much I loved in the 80s. From cartoons to tv shows to movies, the 80s has cool stuff in spades. When you get a movie (Ready Player One) or a video game, such as The VideoKid, thats all about taping into 80s nostalgia than I’m interested. I recently got The…

Last night, I finally bought Undertale for the Nintendo Switch. Yes, I know I’m very late to the bandwagon. And I’d also normally just write a More Thoughts about Undertale (I still might) but I had thoughts about the game after playing it last night. I just had to share! Undertale is such a strange game. First you get attacked by a flower, then you get saved by a creature who wants to keep you locked in her home, and…

Monster Loves You! is a text adventure/simulation game for the Nintendo Switch in which you create a monster through the choices you select. Yes, there are pictures in the game but they are not as important as the dialogue and descriptions. There are no animations in Monster Loves You at all. Monster Loves You! is a different kind of game for the Nintendo Switch…but is it a good one? Monster Loves You! is not like any game I’ve played on…

Jack and Jill went up a hill…and ended up in a video game. Indie game Jack N’ Jill DX came to the Nintendo Switch eshop recently. I received a review code for the game and checked it out. Is Jack N’Jill DX any good? Jack N’ Jill DX is a runner. You do not control the movement of your character. At the beginning of the level, you press A and the character runs. After that, all you can do is…

Armed with turn-based tactical rpg gameplay, Super Dungeon Tactics invaded the Nintendo Switch last week. I have a review copy of it and I’m finally ready to let you know whether or not you should check out this game. Is Super Dungeon Tactics worth visiting? The story in Super Dungeon Tactics isn’t that great. Its very basic actually. What saves it from being boring is the game’s sense of humor! The character dialogue is pretty funny. The story and dialogue…
