Friendly neighbourhood reviewer that thinks every RPG should be discussed, because one never knows where a hidden gem can appear.

Wildermyth Review

Wildermyth Review

A tale as old as time, a turn-based tactical RPG with more hits than misses. Wildermyth’s great combat ideas do outweigh some story pacing issues and is worth a look.

Tainted Grail: Conquest Review

Tainted Grail: Conquest Review

Tainted Grail: Conquest is a roguelite deckbuilder that combines its gameplay loop with a multi-layered story. The slow and steady approach wins out and makes the game well worth a look.

Dark Deity Impression

Dark Deity Impression

RPGamer got to look at Dark Deity from Sword & Axe ahead of its stealth release. It’s a welcome and somewhat familiar sight to turn-based tactical fans, with plenty of customization to keep the player coming back for more.

Wolfstride Impression

Wolfstride Impression

Aluna: Sentinel of the Shards Review

Aluna: Sentinel of the Shards Review

Aluna: Sentinel of the Shards aims to further showcase the exploits of its interesting title character. RPGamer sees if the game successfully transitions the series from comic book to hack-and-slash RPG.

Poison Control Review

Poison Control Review

A stellar soundtrack and deeper-than-expected story try their hardest, but clunky gameplay and repetitive visuals mire Poison Control closer to mediocrity. These two sides balance out in an average but flawed outing from Nippon Ichi.

Citizens Unite! Earth x Space Review

Citizens Unite! Earth x Space Review

Fun character designs and competent combat may be enough for a satisfactory single experience. However, doubling that up without any substantial bells and whistles makes the whole thing less appealing.

Ocean’s Heart Review

Ocean’s Heart Review

There’s never a dull moment for apprentice volunteer navy member Tilia. Players can join her in exploring an interconnected archipelago for clues about missing family members as well as lost treasure in this charming retro action-adventure game.

Empire of Sin Review

Empire of Sin Review

This roaring twenties role playing game combines diplomacy, strategy, and fluid combat. But is it the bee’s knees or does this ambitious attempt come up short?

Torchlight III Review

Torchlight III Review

Torchlight III is a game of simple pleasures and going for one more dungeon can be very addicting. With an easy-going tone and accessible to all, the game is best enjoyed in short bursts.
