Lunarium Review

Kingdom of Night Review
Kingdom of Night is a quintessential demonic invasion story set in a typical small American town. It’s time for one high school nobody to become a hero just like in his favorite tabletop RPGs.

Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree Review
The land of Faelduum is a brand new travel destination for enthusiasts of solid 2D Soulslike combat and exploration. An extremely impressive dark fairy-tale presentation is just the icing on the Metroidvania cake.
Chained Echoes: Ashes of Elrant Deep Look
Chained Echoes is a vibrant, retro-styled RPG that impressed with its intriguing combat system when it released in 2022. Like its cast of characters, however, the Ashes of Elrant DLC may be a bit too stuck in a time warp for its own good.
System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster Review
In the age of remasters, new audiences are being brought into the fold of classic games every single day. System Shock 2 bucks that trend by appealing to long-time fans, but perhaps few others.
Lost in Random: The Eternal Die Review
Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is a dark fairy tale action roguelike that mixes fast-paced melee combat with card and dice attacks. Though its scope is more focused than other giants of the genre, it manages to deliver on what it promises.
All in Abyss: Judge the Fake Review
All in Abyss is a poker visual novel that does justice to neither poker nor visual novels. It works, but only for those who are curious about its tasteless anime girl torture scenes.

Enotria: The Last Song Review
Enotria: mythical land of Italian renaissance, home of beautiful cities and marble palaces filled with challenging foes. You’ll love it, they said. They were right.
Bleak Faith: Forsaken Review
True to its name, Bleak Faith: Forsaken offers one of the more desolate, enigmatic takes on the action RPG subgenre. But despite the obvious talent and effort on display, this title may be too bleak for its own good.
Echo Generation Review
’90s kids take note: Echo Generation answers the question of what would happen if The X-Files invaded small-town America. With impressive presentation values to boot, it’s an entertaining blast from the past worth checking out.
