I love turn-based strategy games. And amazingly, the Nintendo Switch has a bunch of them. Another one was added to the list last week: Into the Breach! I received a review code of the game and have been playing it. What do I think of Into the Breach? Here’s my review! There is sort of a story in Into the Breach: basically some creatures are coming up from underground and your timeline jumping crew has to stop them. If the…

When I saw Into the Breach on the recent Nindie Nintendo Direct, I knew I wanted to review it. I love turn-based tactical games, plus Into the Breach just looked really neat. Thankfully, the developer provided me with a Nintendo Switch review code for the game. I’ve had a couple of days to play it and now want to provide you with some impressions. How is Into the Breach so far? Into the Breach came out on the Nintendo Switch…

What do you get when you combine a turn-based rpg with a word puzzle game? You get Letter Quest Remastered of course. The game is currently available on the Nintendo Switch and its on sale for $2.99 till August 30th! I picked it up on sale and now have some thoughts on it. Should you attack monsters with your words? I like word puzzle games. That should be obvious if you ever read any of my Lightwood Games reviews. I’m…

I played Earthlock on the Wii U. I didn’t like it. When the title came to the Nintendo Switch, I was very skeptical. Then a demo came to the eshop. I was curious and so I downloaded it. Is Earthlock better on the Nintendo Switch or does its Wii U problems still plague it? On the Wii U, Earthlock had very long load times. You had a long load time whenever you went into another area. This made the game…

Thursday. 12:46 pm. I knock on Detective Gallo’s door. I’m in a hurry. I hear a voice say “Come in already.” I quickly enter his office and close the door. ” Who are you?” a voice says. I turn around and see the detective. “I…I…” I’m not sure what to say. He stares at me hard and then pulls out his gun. ” Who. Are. You? ” he says again. “I’m a reviewer! I have a preview of your game.”…

Tetris is one of my favorite puzzle games of all time. Tetra’s Escape for the Nintendo Switch…has nothing at all to do with Tetris. Yes, there are blocks and shapes that look like Tetris blocks but Tetra’s Escape is a different kind of puzzle game. Is it a good puzzle game though? The goal of each Tetra’s Escape level is pretty basic: reach the portal at the end of the level. The levels are very small and you always know…

Do you like the Monster Hunter games? Never tried one? Well, if you have a Nintendo Switch, then you should have your eyes glued to the eshop tomorrow for a Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate demo! I’m not a fan of the Monster Hunter games. I’ve tried several demos now and can never get into the series. That said, I will be downloading tomorrow’s demo. Hey, its free! Who knows, maybe this will be the Monster Hunter game that I like……

There were a lot interesting indies on the Wii U and sometimes, some of them came to the 3DS also. One such game, that was on both the Wii U and 3DS, was Severed. I recently downloaded the game for 3DS thanks to My Nintendo, which has it up for Gold coins. Here are my thoughts on Severed for the 3DS. Severed, right from the start, is a very strange game. You are in first person mode, so you don’t…

Penny dies. Game Over. Well, ok, not exactly. Penny dies, becomes a ghost, runs into Death and then becomes Death. Wait, what?! Welcome to the delightfully odd world of Flipping Death, which I got to play early thanks to Zoink! Games. These are the same people who brought us Stick It To the Man. My review of Flipping Death isn’t ready yet but I thought today, the day of the game’s release on the Switch, would be an excellent day…

What do you get when you mix a turn-based rpg with an adventure game? You might get something like Star Story: The Horizon Escape for Nintendo Switch! I love both genres and so, I was excited to play this game. Is Star Story a good game? Here is my review of Star Story: The Horizon Escape! Star Story, on the surface, seems like a pretty simple game. The main character of the game is seeking out new life and new…
