Nova-111 Review

Nova-111 Review

Combining real-time and turn-based mechanics is not an easy thing to do in any game, nevermind one that identifies first as a turn-based adventure game. Does Nova-111 enthrall its gamers or do its puzzles fail to entice?

The Good Life Review

The Good Life Review

SWERY has a reputation for insane, off-the-wall storytelling and The Good Life is no exception. Does the gameplay follow suit, or is it just a boring slog to go through?

Dragon Star Varnir Review

Dragon Star Varnir Review

Dragon Star Varnir has an interesting combat system yet tells an unbalanced tale. The root of the problem for this adequate turn-based JRPG is lacking a proper balance between presentation and substance.
