WWE meets RPG in a colorful toy box adventure - WrestleQuest Quick Review

SHOULD I PLAY WRESTLEQUEST? Definitely play it if you’re at all a fan of wrestling games and old-school, turn-based RPGs. WrestleQuest may be a wrestling game, but it plays more like Super Mario RPG than AEW: Fight Forever. I played as (and fought against) action figures inspired by legendary wrestlers—and even ran into some characters officially licensed from wrestlers like “Macho Man” Randy Savage, who’s basically this world’s god. Wrestling plus RPG may seem like a strange mix, but it works beautifully, coming together as a love letter to both the drama of the squared circle and the imagination and adventure of SNES-era role-playing games.

What if Genshin Impact had guns? - Snowbreak: Containment Zone Quick First Impressions

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it. Snowbreak: Containment Zone is one of the most promising and fun gacha RPGs I’ve played in the past few years, already nearing the quality of Genshin Impact, Wuthering Waves, and Honkai: Star Rail. The game explores a beautiful dystopian world and twists classic fantasy themes by primarily focusing gameplay on fast-paced combat with guns. TIME PLAYED I played Snowbreak: Containment Zone

I can't wait for Persona 5 Tactica even with the goofy chibi character models

When Atlus revealed Persona 5 Tactica at the Xbox Games Showcase in June, it caused a bit of a stir among the Persona fan base. On the one hand, it's a new Persona game, and that's awesome! On the other, a lot of fans weren't totally sold on the super-deformed chibi style for the new character models in this spin-off. Well, I can't speak for any other fans, but speaking for myself, I cannot wait.

Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising may be the best way to experience the Granblue Fantasy world yet

Arc System Works is a legendary fighting game developer, so it was no surprise when they released a killer spin-off of Granblue Fantasy in 2020. After all, this is one of the most well-loved mobile RPGs ever made, even though it's technically never received an official release in North America. But a gorgeous, anime-style fighting game? That was the perfect way to appreciate this incredibly deep world developer Cygames had created.

Note: These are my thoughts on this game, do not treat it as fact if you play the game. Likes: The story although convoluted, is impactful around all of the unnecessary text. 2. The combat isn't in depth, which would be strange for a tower defense game. 3. Although it's not in-depth, hoh boy, this game can be DIFFICULT. 4. It's a strategy game for the most part, which is very stimulating for those looking for a mental challenge, such as myself. 5. The characters look great! That's without them being sexualized like so many characters, male and female. 6. The music is superb! I love the default lobby music, it's just so relaxing. 7. A massive variety of characters with different skills and attack patterns, etc, make the game fun despite it being a tower defense game. 8. The game itself looks great! 9. The base function means that f2p players are not screwed, but it may take a while to progress. 10. The proxy annihilation cards make Orundum farming so much quicker! 12. It doesn't seem like that it places massive reliance on stats, I mean I generally can do levels below the recommended operator level. 13. The difficulty is something I seek, because of the feeling of accomplishing a challenge that I thought wasn't possible. 14. The challenge mode addition means that you can play through the game again upon completion but it will be even more difficult in the long run. Dislikes: No multi-farm mechanic. 2. Auto deploy is not always consistent. 3. You can only double the combat speed, which is the default speed in auto deploy, would like it if it could be faster. 4. No way as far as I have been able to see in which you can change your name more than once without spending money. Now, a few important notes/tips: This is a tower defense game, so if that's not your thing, you probably won't enjoy this. 2. The gameplay can indeed be grueling, so if you're easily discouraged, I encourage you to not give up. 3. Resources are rather scarce, especially the only currency which can buy skins, (originate prime) so use sparingly. 4. Five things you will have to learn: Order of deployment, location of deployment, timing of deployment and skills being activated, and team synergy (these five things are often necessary together). 5. Do not convert "originite prime" to "Orundum" or buy furniture with "originite prime" if you care about buying skins for operators. Finally, the story is dark, so it's not for the faint of heart. Also, I am in episode 2, as of the time I posted this review, so I haven't made it very far, and thus, I may update this as time goes on.

Moonlight Blade might scratch your mobile MMO itch

SHOULD I PLAY MOONLIGHT BLADE? Eh, you could do worse, but you could also probably do better. If you’re desperate for a power-grind, free-to-play MMO to play on your phone, Moonlight Blade is a totally solid if unimpressive option. With a setting in historical China and a focus that expands beyond just combat, this is much better than other recent mobile MMOs, but it’s not likely to keep you engaged long-term unless your phone is your only gaming platform.

CRYPTMASTER - A UNIQUE BLEND OF WORDLE-STORY DUNGEON CRAWLING

Whether you enjoy testing yourself with WPM gameplay or prefer a unique and well-crafted experience that will have you clutching your sides with laughter and fascinating characters and story. CryptMaster is a game you should not miss out on. There is so much here that is both distinct and borrowed from other games. It's not often that you see the genre of typing combined with dungeon crawling, exploration, and combat. It all works so well which is very surprising with the fantastic visual expressions, and you also have a huge list of phrases and dialog that you can use to converse with the narrator at any point, you'd be astonished how many lines of dialogue they managed to pack into this experience which was all hand crafted. Many assume that it was created using AI, but in actuality, the developers sat down and attempted to think up every possible conversation you might type and simply added in a response or secret interaction. I definitely see how the visuals seem robotic, but all in all it's a uniquely human created experience.

A new RPG from the creators of This War of Mine takes to the magical streets of 20th century Poland

Role-playing video games have taken us on adventures to all sorts of strange locales: grand fantasy landscapes, epic sci-fi universes, sweeping vistas occupied by gods, and otherworldly realms haunted by the dead. However, we've never been swept off to a setting quite like that of The Thaumaturge. That's because this RPG takes place in Warsaw, Poland in the early 20th century—albeit a slightly fantastical version of Warsaw.

The thrilling conclusion of an amazing JRPG story - Trails into Reverie Quick Review

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you’re a big Legend of Heroes fan, but newcomers to the series are better off starting elsewhere. The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie is a sprawling epic that serves as a conclusion to both the Cold Steel and Crossbell story arcs. It doesn’t waste much time on recaps or exposition, so if you’re not familiar with previous games, you’ll probably feel pretty lost. If you’re curious about the game, but don’t want to jump in at the end of the story,

A fun shooter with a little bit of everything - even time travel and dinos! - Exoprimal Quick Review

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it. Exoprimal combines the fast-paced sci-fi shooting action of Titanfall 2 with the team-based gameplay of Overwatch and adds its own twist with dinosaurs and multidimensional time travel. Even with some issues—slow progression, unbalanced characters, and messy gameplay modes—this mix of great elements from other games with its own unique style provides an insanely entertaining time.

AFTERPLACE - A PLACE YOU'LL NEVER WANT TO LEAVE!

AfterPlace Developer: Evan Kice Publisher:  Evan Kice Released: July 23rd, 2024 Price: 14.99 USD Afterplace is a short 10 hour multi-ending calm and relaxing adventure centered on a floating island in the sky, filled with terrifying interdimensional beings and friends! It was certainly a journey as it's one of the few Indie games built by a single developer who truly wanted to create a fun and everlasting experience that encompasses the feeling of making you feel like you would want to stay in this universe forever, rather than to leave or continue forward to the end of the game. You don't want it to ever end or to cause harm in this simplistic world that feels more like a resting spot when you're done with all of your other games, after a hard days work, it'll be here for you waiting with a lot of dark secrets to be discovered around every nook and cranny.

I 鰐 HUG THAT GATOR - EMOTIONALLY DESTROYED ME!

It's not surprising. The game itself, while appearing to be more parodic than serious at times, had some of the most profoundly compelling ways of tearing me away from myself and forcing me to reflect on what my life had become over the years. If you enjoy well-written visual novels with plenty of personality and character, all for the purpose of love, you'll adore this game so please check it out on Steam!

A great anime adaptation inside a subpar gacha game - DanMachi Battle Chronicle Quick Review

SHOULD I PLAY DANMACHI BATTLE CHRONICLE? Only play it if you really like DanMachi. DanMachi Battle Chronicle is a visually stunning gacha game based on the popular light novel/manga/anime series DanMachi or Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? in its full English title. The game features a well-made story backed by great voice acting and cutscenes, but it falls short with everything else: repetitive gameplay, slow progression, limited content, and a poorly designed shop.

WHY CAN'T OTHER BIG DEVELOPERS UNDERSTAND THIS?

I'd heard of the series, as well as other well-known JRPG games, but I never bothered to look into it because I wasn't very interested in playing non-PC games at the time. It's direct and to the point, doesn't hold back monetarily, and comes from a well-known developer for a Gacha which for some people may come as a red flag, but hold on. It hits every note, even nostalgia for past games I haven't played in over a decade that being
