This flashy gacha RPG may not be as deep as Baldur’s Gate, but it’s pleasantly D&D-inspired

SHOULD I PLAY DRAGONHEIR: SILENT GODS? There are two main determining factors on whether you should check this one out: if you love old-school fantasy and tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons, and if you don’t get immediately turned off by gacha and microtransactions. If you answered yes to both of those, then Dragonheir: Silent Gods is definitely worth playing. This cross-platform gacha RPG provides a much deeper and more unique experience than most gacha games, and it does so while paying tribute to the epic, imaginative fantasy of

A beautifully illustrated RPG about the grim realities of life during war? Sign us up!

One of the great things about video games is that they can cover so much territory. Take RPGs for example. You've got high fantasy escapism in series like Final Fantasy, epic sci-fi dreams of the future in stuff like Mass Effect, and strange musings on philosophy and politics in a game like Disco Elysium. Long Gone Days doesn't quite fit into any of those categories, though it's closest to the last one. This ambitious RPG follows a young man named Rourke who's been trained from birth to be a living weapon of war. Once Rourke is actually sent into battle, though, he finds himself conflicted as he comes face-to-face with disturbing realities of wartime.

Video games are supposed to be fun, to make you laugh and smile, but they may also make you angry or sad.

IN STARS AND TIME: Don't miss this Heartbreaking Adventure

If you're the kind to dismiss games because they don't fit your specific interests without giving them a chance to welcome you into their worlds, there's not much to say other that you won't like this game. In Stars and Time is about time and change. You're trapped in a time loop, and you'll go to any length to save your allies. Nothing would make you happier than breaking free from this terrible cycle. As you lose yourself in this never-ending misery, you can't help but be sucked back in for hours, days, months, and years. Repeating the same day over and over, with no apparent end in sight as you see the ones around you and most important yourself, suffering a great burden. It has the same vibe as Undertale, DeltaRune, Omori, OneShot, Earthbound, and many other games, but it still seems distinct and creative.

Ever wish that Disco Elysium had more minotaurs and more steampunk? Check out Sovereign Syndicate

In 2019, Disco Elysium took the gaming world by storm and showed how RPGs could focus much more on storytelling and do a much better job of emulating the feeling of playing at a tabletop. Now we're just starting to see the first wave of games that seem clearly inspired by Disco Elysium, and this one just might be the first must-play RPG of 2024. This is Sovereign Syndicate, a CRPG being made by a small indie team in Canada. Like Disco Elysium, it's an RPG that's more heavily focused on narrative and dialogue, but it also sets itself apart in some key ways. For one, it's got a unique Victorian steampunk setting that looks absolutely fantastic. Fantasy creatures like minotaurs, dwarves, and cyclopes are mixed together with grimy factories, smokestacks, and zeppelins. And it all takes place in London!

This anime fighting game-inspired roguelite deserves your attention

SHOULD I PLAY BLAZBLUE ENTROPY EFFECT? Definitely give this one a shot if you’re a fan of great roguelites or the action-packed anime aesthetic of the BlazBlue series. This spin-off, BlazBlue Entropy Effect, sees familiar characters, move sets, and thumb-crushing combos of the BlazBlue fighting games translated into a roguelite action game formula. That makes for a challenging experience, but thanks to a tightly designed progression system and an intriguing story, I found it hard to put this game down.

A Sneak Peek @ Killer Frequency

Back Again, with your latest bit of Indie Investigating. This time, it's Team 17 Digital's darkly funny narrative title 'Killer Frequency'- which takes the campy idea of a Slash Plot, and has a good bit of fun with it. Tune In, Check Out, Leave a Not-So-Pretty Corpse While there's plenty of stories in Gallows Creek- none invoke quite as much fear as that of 'The Whistling Man', a serial killer who ran rampant in the 50's, before the police were finally able to put him down.

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.

The masters of horror deliver a fresh spin on the Amnesia formula - Amnesia: The Bunker Quick Review

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it, unless you’re too scared. Like previous releases from developer Frictional Games, Amnesia: The Bunker is not for the faint of heart. Some fans worried about the announcement of this fourth game in the Amnesia series, particularly when it was revealed that it would be the first game in the franchise to give players a weapon. Those fears were misplaced, though; the limited ammunition and other defensive options in

The best (and best-looking) Metroidvania since Hollow Knight - Afterimage Quick Review

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? If you’ve got any appreciation for the Metroidvania style of game at all, then you owe it to yourself to play Afterimage. Coming off a successful Kickstarter campaign just a year ago, developer Aurogon Shanghai has released the next masterpiece in a masterpiece-heavy genre. With tight controls, compelling progression and exploration, and especially a stunning hand-drawn art style, Afterimage pays homage to the classics while also undeniably forging its own strong identity via a fascinating and diverse fantasy world. It’s really good.

mousebusters review

I finished the main story! mousebusters Such an awesome game, the storyline is chill with added comedy, so damn enjoyable. There are lots of lessons to be learned from it. There are a few bugs, like text bubbles getting cut off, but it doesn't mess with the gameplay. Even though the boss's ending wasn't what I expected, at least the peace in the apartment is back to normal. Boss, I miss you.. (。•́︿•̀。)

If you want a REAL generous mobile game, give this game a try!

I've seen plenty of other posts with the "Themostgenerousgacha" hashish tag, mentioning games like Blue Archive, Punishing Gray Raven, Demian Saga, etc. and I won't deny that those games are generous. They really are, but generous is all they are. If you want a SUPER GENEROUS, entirely free to play game with NOTHING locked behind a paywall, then you have to give Romancing SaGa Re;univerSe a try! Some of you who have played this game before will say that this game has paid gacha currency, and yes, that's true, but it's practically the same as the free gacha currency. Why, you ask? Well, it's quite simple, but first, I have to mention that, in RSRS, banners ALWAYS come out in pairs: One free banner and one paid banner.

Paper Mario meets Cartoon Network in this quirky, bread-based RPG

SHOULD I PLAY BORN OF BREAD? Born of Bread feels like an unofficial successor to the Paper Mario series, so if you’re a fan of those games, you’ll definitely want to check it out. There were times when I thought Born of Bread could’ve used a little more time in the oven, but I was still won over by its playful dialogue and loveable cast of characters. If you dig games with a wacky, silly sense of humor, this is going to charm you too.

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.

DREAD DELUSION - AN UPHILL BATTLE WITH YOUR SANITY

A sincerely fantastic game that is genuinely being ruined by the lack of combat based leveling along side a mindlessly numb soundtrack that does nothing for you. Dread Delusion had so much potential and it was effectively tossed aside. Consider following on other Social Media platforms for, Giveaways and more:

100 detectives vs 100 criminals? Methods: The Detective Competition is the ultimate mystery game

SHOULD I PLAY METHODS: DETECTIVE COMPETITION? Play it if you like mystery games with a sense of humor. In Methods: Detective Competition, one hundred detectives face off against one hundred master criminals. As you might expect, this plot requires a huge cast of characters, and I’ve enjoyed getting to know all of them. It’s more like a visual novel than an investigation game, but it’s still given me plenty of chances to test out my sleuthing skills.

VA-11 Hall-A - #GameswithaGreatStory

"Time to mix drinks and change lives." - Jill Stingray VA-11 Hall-A is one of the games I hold dear to my heart. Developed by a Venezuelan indie game studio, Sukeban Games, that was originally started off as a blog for Japanese Pop Culture discussions. In the world of dystopian cyberpunk city-scape, you got to play as Jill Stingray, a bartender at VA-11 Hall-A. It's a very chill and relaxing game, with interesting quirky characters, very engaging dialogs, cool musics, mini games and a couple of unique mechanics here and there.

BLAZBLUE HAS DEVIATED AND IT WORKED OUT SO WELL!

Personally I've don't often play fighting games because they're not my favorite style of genre. Not that I don't play ever; it's just not a thing I am ever really interested in. So when I learned that BlazBlue had a new title and genre, I was surprised. Developers rarely step outside of their comfort zone in an attempt to explore new things, particularly at the level that Entropy Effect provides in terms of story, visual flair, and build customization or just overall gameplay challenge.

Just from the log in bonus, whey're giving us an INSANE amount of gacha currency and gacha tickets this month!
