Waking Violet

Waking Violet, out now on the Switch eshop, is a very interesting game. Its not a puzzle platformer, its just a puzzle game where you work your way through mazes. Thats the basic concept, but the game is a bit more complicated then that! Here is my review of Waking Violet for Nintendo Switch. Waking Violet is a very challenging  puzzle game for the Nintendo Switch. In this game, you navigate Violet through devious levels full of tricky puzzles. These…

Pode

Pode for the Nintendo Switch is a beautiful looking game. I knew that from the first time I saw the game in a Nintendo Direct. However, looks are not everything. Does Pode have fun gameplay to back up its wonderful graphics? Pode has great graphics. From the moment I started playing the game, I was stunned by the game’s fantastic level and character designs. I wasn’t sure what the heck was going on with the game’s story-there is no dialogue…

Alchemic Jousts

The tower defense genre can be a mixed bag at times. I’ve played some tower defense games that were really good, others that had potential but were a bit too complex, and still others that were too simple. Alchemic Jousts for the Nintendo Switch is a tower defense game that looks good, but is it? There is no story or setup for Alchemic Jousts. Instead, the player is a given tutorial pop-up boxes that help teach you how to play…

Happy Birthdays Review

I love simulation games. Animal Crossing is my all-time favorite game. I’m also a huge fan of Sim City and I even like The Sims. Well, kind of. But the simulation genre really appeals to me. So I had a feeling that I would like Happy Birthdays. But how much do I like it? And does this game appeal to non-simulation genre fans? I was surprised to find that Happy Birthdays has an actual storyline. I didn’t think there would…

Smoke and Sacrifice Review

I’ve played a few survival rpgs and they are pretty fun. Yes, you will die a lot in survival rpgs, but you also get to do things in them that you don’t find yourself doing in other types of rpgs. For instance, crafting new and surprising items to fight off or capture something. Smoke and Sacrifice for the Nintendo Switch is a survival rpg that puts you into some interesting situations. The game also has a story too. So is…

Battle Chasers: Nightwar Review

Battle Chasers: Nightwar is based on a 90s comic book by artist Joe Madureira. The game was recently released on the Nintendo Switch eshop. We received a review code and checked it out. Is Battle Chasers: Nightwar a good game? Battle Chasers: Nightwar’s story is very interesting.
