Marvel Cosmic Invasion (PC) Review

Despite the fact that it has fallen out of fashion, I love Marvel and the characters of the Marvel Universe. So, when I saw that Dotemu was doing a beat-em-up in the style of Shredder’s Revenge (and old Arcade classics), I was…

Million Depth (PC) Review

I have no depth perception whatsoever, and yet I’m still able to perceive (and enjoy) Million Depth. That may be one of life’s greatest mysteries. Anyway, Million Depth is a post-apocalyptic, “deep diving” roguelike in which humanity has destroyed the surface of…

Night Swarm (PC) Review

A YouTube comment on the Night Swarm official announcement trailer summed things up concisely: “It’s an indie game in 2025, check inside, it’s a roguelite with survivor elements.” Be that as it may, I still find myself addicted and wanting to review the majority…

Demonschool (Nintendo Switch) Review

As someone who was drawn to the trailer for Demonschool by the promise of a tactics RPG that certainly seemed heavily inspired by Persona, I can’t help but feel misled. Luckily, there’s not a single part of me that feels like I was cheated…

Cross Blitz (PC) Review

I have followed Cross Blitz’s development since it came to Early Access back in 2023. I love a good deckbuilding game, and one set against a lush backdrop of colorful characters is even better. Cross Blitz is a fine Deckbuilder as it…

Forestrike (PC) Review

Sifu took the world by storm in 2023. A martial arts title where failed fights could be redone with some knowledge of what to expect, it’s a rewarding exercise in persistence and ascendance. When “game over” isn’t the end, it becomes more of…

Demonschool (PC) Review

Admittedly, I had intended to have a full review of Demonschool ready to go live on Wednesday. However, as I began to play Demonschool later than originally planned (due to some delays for various reasons), I realized I’d have to take my…
