You know the drill: squeeze through tiny gaps in screen-filling bullet patterns, unleash some bullet hell of your own with a powerful, wide-reaching cannon, hold the shot button to focus fire for an immensely powerful laser and slower, more careful movement. In a lot of ways, Z-Warp is a more …
The late ‘90s were an odd time to be a JRPG fan outside North America or Japan. The genre had been steadily growing in the West, and the runaway success of Final Fantasy VII in particular opened a whole lot of doors for localising games… at least, in the States. …
A little late on the news wrap this time (life be like that sometimes!), but here are some of the game news highlights from last week! The Swords webtoon is getting a game (for real!) Matthew Wills, the creator of popular comedy-fantasy webtoon Swords often gets asked about the possibility …
Andro Dunos II feels like it could have come out 30 years ago, hot on the heels of the first game. That’s not to say it feels dated—it certainly doesn’t—but rather, that it feels authentic in a way that few “retro-inspired” games do. NeoGeo shmups have a unique feel and …

Our experience from snowboarding is rather the opposite: a bright sunny day in the mountains, you explore the areas and enjoy the nature and scenery.” That’s the inspiration behind Grand Mountain Adventure: Wonderlands, …
A retired literature professor stumbles upon her police officer son’s case notes, notices a connection to an obscure Elizabethan play, and—despite her son’s insistence that she stay out of it—manages to solve a murder investigation. Harriet “Harry” Wild has a knack for detective work, it turns out, as well as …
A Demon Lord so powerful and dangerous that Gods and Demons put aside their differences (and endless warring) to stop the threat gets sealed away, only to wake up a few years later to a world that’s… changed. Gods and Demons don’t exist anymore, magic is scarce, and humans live …
