Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters Review

Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters Review

There’s not many games that are so ideally fit to win one of RPGCast’s oddball yearly awards, but one such title is out this week. Though at least the ghosts in 2015’s likely Best Scooby-Doo Plot are the real thing.

Adventure Bar Story Review

Adventure Bar Story Review

Who doesn’t want to play a game where you get to run a bar and slay some monsters? Kick your feet back, grab a brew and review our review of Adventure Bar Story.

The Legend of Legacy Import Review

The Legend of Legacy Import Review

The Legend of Legacy comes from FuRyu’s development studios, and it has most everything that has come to characterize the SaGa games, both for good and for bad.

Far Cry 4 Review

Far Cry 4 Review

Could that song be classic punk rock? No, it’s ‘The Elephant Song’. It reminds of elephants. It also reminds me of entertaining, mayhem-filled romps through the jungles of Kyrat.

Borderlands PC Retroview

Borderlands PC Retroview

In this crazy, mixed-up world, there is a certain amount of comfort that comes from aiming a gun at a stupid alien bandit and watching its head explode after pressing the trigger. This game delivers plentiful quantities of that sensation.
Salt the wound!

Ephemeral Fantasia Retroview

Ephemeral Fantasia Retroview

The deck is already stacked against any game with a lead named Mouse. It’s telling that the hero’s name is among the less objectionable things in this title. These characters are KANON.

Excave Review

Excave Review

The mission is to investigate every strata of a dungeon and kill its inhabitants for the crime of aggressively being in your way. Everything else in this game is just a detail. The walls are spiky sometimes.

Criminal Girls: Invite Only Review

Criminal Girls: Invite Only Review

Criminal Girls: Invite Only was interesting enough to earn a passable early impression, but there were some nagging doubts that it could keep things going the whole way through. Was it easy for our reviewer to push through to the end or was some extra motivation needed?

Dragon Ball Z: Harukanaru Densetsu Retroview

Dragon Ball Z: Harukanaru Densetsu Retroview

Many criticisms can justly be leveled at Dragon Ball Z, but few would say that too little fighting with cards is one of them. This game seems to have been made to correct that nonexistent problem, and the results aren’t pretty. Super Saiyans have to fight Saibamen just like everyone else.

Citizens of Earth Review

Citizens of Earth Review

With trouble “brewing” at the local coffee shop, the Vice President of Earth is ready to roll up his sleeves and save the planet, and he’s doing it all for you: the voter.

Tales of Aravorn: Seasons of the Wolf Review

Tales of Aravorn: Seasons of the Wolf Review

Winter Wolves returns to the world of Aravorn with Seasons Of The Wolf, a spin-off to Loren The Amazon Princess. With the game now available from the developer’s official site, and set to release on Steam in the next month, RPGamer checks it out to see if it is a worthy follow-up.

Fantasy Life Review

Fantasy Life Review

What sort of Life will you lead in the world of Reveria? Will you be a Paladin, an Angler, a Mercenary-Cook, or something else? There’s plenty of stuff to do, and perhaps this review will help you decide if you want to do any of it.

Tears to Tiara II: Heir of the Overlord Review

Tears to Tiara II: Heir of the Overlord Review

Tears to Tiara II’s lengthy story sequences failed to impress RPGamer’s tactical aficionado. However, does it fare any better in the eyes of one of the site’s visual novel fans?

Adventure Time: The Secret of the Nameless Kingdom Review

Adventure Time: The Secret of the Nameless Kingdom Review

You know what’s mathematical? A tubular Zelda clone. The Adventure Time crew take on The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, but is it entirely copacetic? Grab your trail mix and read on in our official review.

Dragon Warrior VII Retroview

Dragon Warrior VII Retroview

The Dragon Quest series outside Japan was all but extinct, when a new entry for the PlayStation finally revived the brand. This was not the series’ finest hour though, and only those with a great deal of time to sacrifice should ever investigate it. Oh no, not another brown cave! I’m terrified!

Deus Ex: The Fall Review

Deus Ex: The Fall Review

Sometimes a game just makes you wonder ‘why’. Why replicate a console shooter on a tablet? Why is it a sequel to a tie-in novel? Why port it to PC? Why spend money on this?

Destiny Review

Destiny Review

The hype around Destiny was always going to be toughest enemy to master. We take a look at how the game lives up to hype, but it might still be too hard to tell, right chief?

Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth Review

Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth Review

Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth plays like a more plot-intensive Etrian Odyssey, even moreso than The Millennium Girl, and delivers exactly what fans of that series have come to expect. While not the best title in the 3DS RPG library, it’s nevertheless quite good.
