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…

Human: Fall Flat, a physics based puzzle platformer, received a free online multiplayer update recently. The update is for the Playstation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch version of the game. The PC version received this update last year. Check out a video for the update below. I have never played Human: Fall Flat, but it looks like a really neat game. And now 8-player multiplayer has been added to the Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4, and Xbox One versions of…

Nintendo of America had a indie showcase video today. We have the video below and my thoughts on it. I thought todays Nindies Showcase video was ok. Overall, I wasn’t too impressed with most of the games. The two games that stuck out to me were Into the Breach (out today!) and Treasure Stack. I love tactical rpgs and puzzle games. I’m also interested in Hyper Light Drifter and Undertale. I’m not sure about many of the other games. Still,…

We had a Switch Indie Highlight video this week from the UK. You may have thought, well, thats it for the Indies then. You would be wrong. Nintendo of America announced a Nindie Showcase video presentation for next week. Check out the announcement below and some thoughts from me. On one hand, I think this Nindie showcase could be full of updates on previously announced games and new indie games for the Switch. On the other hand, we just got…

Nintendo UK had an Indie Highlight video today. You can check it out below and then please come back for my thoughts on this Indie Direct. The Nintendo Indie highlight video was not announced. It was a complete surprise. Also surprising was that three of the games shown in the video: Bad North, Prison Architect, and Morphies Law came out today! I thought the video was pretty impressive overall. Nintendo Switch is getting a ton more Indie games for the…

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…

The Nintendo Switch already has many wonderful rpgs: everything from Jrpgs like Octopath to Western ones like Skyrim. And we see more rpgs coming to the system all the time. Not that I’m complaining! I love the genre. I am so happy that the Switch has become a home for these types of games. The latest rpg thats coming to the Switch eshop is called Cosmic Star Heroine. I’ve been playing this game for a while now and I’m finally…

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…
