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…

There were no major surprises like Fornite or even a release date for Wargroove. None of the previously mentioned indie games from other showcases were mentioned at all. The video was also very short. Now, I’m not saying that there were no interesting games at all in…

And yet when Mercenaries Saga Chronicles for the Nintendo Switch was announced, I was excited! The first game had never been released on the 3DS so I didn’t play it. I was excited to play that, play the second one again, and give the third one another chance. Plus, come on, three…
