Chronus Arc Review

Chronus Arc Review

The 3DS eShop hosts a wide variety of titles. Some of them are worth seeking out, and others deserve to be forgotten by all unfortunate enough to have found them in the first place. How will the latest Kemco title be received?
Some kings sure do have a cheek.

Undertale PC Review

Undertale PC Review

Undertale is the surprise success of the season. Its greatest mystery is how a game with such prominent skeletons could have so much heart.

Guild of Dungeoneering Review

Guild of Dungeoneering Review

This review has been brought to you on the backs of poorly recalled, largely interchangeable murder-hoboes. Unfortunately, it could not be shared around in graph paper doodle format with the accompaniment of an insulting madrigal.

Grandia II Anniversary Edition Review

Grandia II Anniversary Edition Review

Grandia II’s Anniversary Edition provides those RPGamers who missed it before the chance to try out the Game Arts classic. One such RPGamer is here with his thoughts on the title.

Artifact Adventure Review

Artifact Adventure Review

Artifact Adventure raids RPGs from the 8-bit era for inspiration, aesthetics, and artifacts. Some may say it belongs in a museum, while others would argue it belongs in a (Steam) library.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution PC Retroview

Deus Ex: Human Revolution PC Retroview

It’s not easy being a technological leader, and augmenting the human body through new metal parts causes lots of people to get angry. In this case though, bringing down the people who get angry with those new metal parts is highly encouraged. Move to Detroit – it’ll get better.

Front Mission 3 Retroview

Front Mission 3 Retroview

Whatever political upheavals may hit the world, and however dangerous things become, we can remain at ease. That is because giant robots are there to save the day by blowing up stuff real good. Pistols blow down trees!

Evoland 2 Review

Evoland 2 Review

The second Evoland tackles a great number of genres and issues in its many areas. One notion is tantalizingly never resolved though: where do other party members hide when they’re with the lead but not visible on screen, in his pocket? Mammoths must not get out much if they’re so hard to move.

Evoland Retroview

Evoland Retroview

Take a guided tour through certain aspects of RPG history, complete with genuine evil to slay and a world to save. Beware of aggressive local wildlife, though. Slash and cast to your heart’s content!

Celestian Tales: Old North Review

Celestian Tales: Old North Review

Ekuator Games’ first title is the start of a planned trilogy of tales. Is this initial release enough to get RPGamers burning for more, or does the frozen tip of the Old North bring a cold reception?old reception?

Deus Ex: Invisible War Retroview

Deus Ex: Invisible War Retroview

Expectations are always high when a really good game gets a sequel. In the case of the Deus Ex series those expectations were not met, and it stayed dormant for years. This was probably deserved. Boing boing, go the bodies!

Lost Dimension Review

Lost Dimension Review

The End has decided to destroy the world. As one might expect, the world is somewhat against this and sends in players to deal with this threat with ten allies, but how will traitors in the ranks affect things?

Ar nosurge Plus: Ode to an Unborn Star Review

Ar nosurge Plus: Ode to an Unborn Star Review

Things I’ve learned from Ar nosurge: underboob is a fashion statement and breasts can come in square forms, as well as round. Also “Plus” does not necessarily refer to size.

Deus Ex Retroview

Deus Ex Retroview

The military-industrial complex is no better in the future, unless having it be a worldwide instead of US organization is some kind of improvement. Striking a blow against it, however, very worth doing. ED-209 looks dangerous. Probably because it is.

Destiny Links Import Review

Destiny Links Import Review

Wanted: a brave adventurer to guard the Royal interests in the ongoing expedition to the isles of Amazia. Skill with sword, pistol, and hurdy-gurdy preferred.

End of Serenity Review

End of Serenity Review

Dear Kemco: please try harder to make less generic games. Heck, add some dinosaurs, an excited child, and some attractions, and your game would be appealing. Or, y’know, the plot to Jurassic World. Which is better than this game.
