Quest Giver (PC) Review

There’s an old quest in World of Warcraft that grants you the “privilege” of briefly experiencing what it’s like to be a quest giver. That is, to be a non-player character (“NPC”) who stays in the exact same spot for all eternity,…

David’s Backlog Busting: Astrologaster (PC)

In my first Backlog Busting review, I said that logic dictates I’ll find some hidden gems in my game collection eventually. Well, in only the second review in this series, I’ve found one. Each entry in this series is comprised of my…

1000 Deaths (PC) Review

The “Butterfly Effect” is a concept that gets played with in media pretty frequently. Not only did it spawn a franchise of films, but even franchises such as the Final Fantasy series have taken time-travel stories and utilized elements of it. 1000…

Tainted Grail: Conquest (PC) Review

This marks the second game I’ve reviewed within a couple of weeks that’s both set in Arthurian mythology and evokes pleasant memories of Darkest Dungeon. Considering how much I like both of these things, I certainly won’t complain. The game under my…

River City Girls Zero (PC) Review

River City Girls Zero, despite its title, is actually not an announcement of the final score at a particularly disappointing sporting event. Rather, it’s a side-scrolling beat-‘em-up that’s quite similar to those that were common in the heyday of arcades, the Super…

Editor’s Note: Sultan’s Game features strong themes that will be referenced in this review, such as murder and depravity. Reader Discretion is advised. After reviewing games for over 10 years, sometimes things begin to feel a little bland. Sultan’s Game is one…
