Mercenaries Saga 2 is one of my favorite 3DS eshop games. The graphics and gameplay of Mercenaries remind me of Final Fantasy Tactics a bit, while also providing a unique story (with multiple endings!). When I finished the second game, I was hoping that there would be another one. I was very happy when Mercenaries Saga 3 was announced! And I’m even happier to announce that the game is coming out next week. Mercenaries Saga 3 is coming out on…

I’m currently playing and reviewing Thomas Hopper’s Octocopter. You can check out my preview of that game here. Octocopter is currently on the Wii U eshop. And soon, Hopper will have another game on the eshop. Today, he announced that his next game, Radiantflux: Hyperfractal, would be coming to the Wii U this month! Radiantflux: Hyperfractal, Thomas Hopper’s next game, will be coming to the Wii U eshop on December 22nd. The game features a 90s style “computer” system, hacking,…

I love puzzle games. I love strategy games. So any game that decides to blend those two video game genre together has my attention! Enter Dungeons Hearts DX for the Wii U. This game is part puzzle game, part strategy game, with a bit of rhythm thrown in. It sounds like Dungeon Hearts DX is a very interesting game...but is it?

Steamworld Heist is one of my favorite games on the 3DS eshop. Image & Form created a really great turn-based strategy game with Heist. And soon, Wii U owners will be lucky enough to get the game too. We have the details on the Wii U launch for North America and Europe, plus a couple of new Steamworld Heist videos! Steamworld Heist will be available on the Wii U tomorrow (September 30th) in Europe and in October for North America.…

Randomly generated dungeons are nothing new. There have been a lot of games on PC and some on the Wii U and 3DS that use random dungeons for their games. I’m not saying this is a bad thing at all. In fact, I’m fond of the use of random dungeons and like seeing them added to a game. You just never know what monsters, equipment, and surprises you’ll find in randomly generated dungeons! So when I heard about a game…

Soul Axiom has been in development for Wii U for awhile now. Last year, Wii U owners got their first play time with the game thanks to the Nindies@Home E3 2015 demo promotion! The game will finally be coming out later this month though. We have the details, plus my thoughts on the E3 2015 demo below. Soul Axiom will be coming to the Wii U on September 29th. The game will cost $14.99 in North America. There will be…

A few years ago, a small indie developer launched a game called Oceanhorn. If you have ever played, Oceanhorn before – or seen video for that matter – you will see that it is an obvious Zelda rip off. And I truly say that as a compliment, because Oceanhorn is one of the best Zelda like games I have ever played. Although Oceanhorn will be available later next week on Xbox One and PS4, we had a chance to relive…

On Tuesday, I received a new 3DS review code for a game. The game is called The Legend of Kusakari and in it you…mow grass. Well, you mow the grass with a sword rather than a lawn mower, but still, the object of the game is to get rid of grass. Of course, it wouldn’t be a video game if there wasn’t some challenge! There are enemies to avoid as you cut the grass and you’re health will keep falling…
