The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos Review

The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos Review

In contrast with games with solemn tones, The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk includes a comedic style and unpredictable characters who question the roots of fantastic stories. Puzzles, strategic battles, quests, and great voice acting are part of this constant and enjoyable satire.

Vaporum: Lockdown Review

Vaporum: Lockdown Review

Fatbot Games returns to the Arx Vaporum with a prequel that is able to scratch that first-person dungeon-crawler itch. Only one character can be controlled here, but the tools at her disposal more than make up for the absence of party members.
