The Legend of Khiimori (PC) – Preview

I say it all the time, I like weird and interesting games. Especially when it comes to strange settings in games, compared to what we’re all used to. Aesir Interactive and NightinGames’ The Legend of Khiimori sees you take on the role…

Vampire Crawlers (PC) Preview

I, like many other people, fell down the Vampire Survivors rabbit hole eons ago. Poncle’s flagship Bullet Heaven captured many hours of my time, and it seems like they may do it again with Vampire Crawlers. After playing several hours of the…

Vow of the Wordlocks (PC) Demo Preview

Alright, let’s see what we’ve got here: The demo version of a game that takes place in a medieval, high-fantasy setting, has a pun in its title, and brings back fond memories of making people hate playing against me at Scrabble? Well,…

Do you enjoy games in the Vampire Survivors-like genre? Are you nostalgic for the good old days of Windows XP, long before artificial “intelligence” involuntarily infested just about every aspect of our daily lives? Did you, like me, have basically unrestricted and…

Bladesong (PC) – Preview

There are times when I genuinely want to hold the knowledge of a craft. Not making cards like a little old woman, but the ability to make something so everlasting that 300-400+ years later, people don’t know the name but love the…
