The drama of pro wrestling meets the adventure of classic JRPGs in WrestleQuest

Wrestling and role-playing might seem like a strange combo for the uninitiated, but these are actually two great tastes that go great together! OH YEAH, BROTHER! If you need proof, just check out WrestleQuest, the colorful new RPG from developer Mega Cat Studios. You can see some footage of WrestleQuest above, but it basically casts players as an action figure going on a journey to become the best of the best through turn-based wrestling matches.

Turnip Boy returns to break the law again in this adorable roguelite action game

Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion was a surprise sensation when it launched in 2021. Who knew that it could be so much fun playing as a cute little vegetable guy who just loves committing federal felony? The Zelda-style adventure gameplay didn't hurt matters either. Well, a few years have passed, but it seems our heart-healthy hero still has a taste for being a bad guy. His latest adventure is titled

CLICKOLDING - WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST WITNESS!?

CLICKOLDING Developer: Strange Scaffold Publisher:  Strange Scaffold Released: July 16th, 2024 Price: $2.99 USD As I prepared to load up the recently released CLICKOLDING, I had a fundamental understanding of what it was all about and what I was getting myself into. This is a play on the concept of being or taking part in the act that is commonly referred to as "cuckolding," but the twist is that it is portrayed in this game as the act of clicking.

Get sent on a roguelike mission from the Vatican in stylish horror shooter Witchfire

Developer The Astronauts hasn't put out a game since 2014's brilliant adventure game The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. Their next project has finally entered early access, though, and it's very cool and very different from their last release...in a good way! The new game is titled Witchfire, and while it shares spooky vibes with The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, the core of the game is a roguelike shooter. If that change sounds jarring, you should know that much of the team at The Astronauts was previously at developer People Can Fly, the studio behind satisfyingly over-the-top shooters like

What if Vampire Survivors had farming and frogs? Pesticide Not Required is my ideal roguelite

SHOULD I PLAY PESTICIDE NOT REQUIRED? Absolutely yes. Pesticide Not Required has everything I could ever want in a Vampire Survivors clone: smooth bullet heaven gameplay, over-the-top power-ups, frogs, farming mechanics, and even a pet capybara to help me care for my plants. I’ve only played the demo, but I’m already head over heels in love with Pesticide Not Required. Unless you totally hate roguelites—or frogs—this is a must play.

Serve up monstrous meals in this cooking-themed dungeon crawler - Monster Menu Quick Review

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you’re a fan of dungeon crawlers. Monster Menu revolves around a group of adventurers that find themselves trapped in a mysterious dungeon. After a while, they start to get hungry, and they’re ravenous enough to put anything—even monster meat— on the menu. This isn’t the first culinary roguelike I’ve played, but its cooking mechanics are surprisingly deep, and the mix of survival gameplay and dungeon-crawling is satisfying. It’s heavy on grinding, and it’s unlikely to win over players that aren’t fans of the genre, but I still found it to be pretty fun.

Spy on total strangers in this wacky puzzle game - Do Not Feed the Monkeys 2099 quick review

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it, especially if you like resource management and unconventional puzzle solving. Like its predecessor, Do Not Feed the Monkeys 2099 lets players watch unsuspecting strangers and snoop on their lives. While the original Do Not Feed The Monkeys was set in a world that resembled the present day, 2099 takes things into the future, making way for some truly bizarre scenarios. While I was free to sit back and watch events as they played out, I preferred to take a more active role in the lives of the people I was spying on, collecting clues from their videos and scouring the internet for more information. Sometimes I made things better, and sometimes I made things much, much worse, but I always had a great time.

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.

Yes, The Legend of Nayuta still looks like a PSP game, but it's definitely worth checking out

SHOULD I PLAY THE LEGEND OF NAYUTA: BOUNDLESS TRAILS? Play it if you’re a fan of Falcom games or old-school JRPGs. The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails was originally released for the PlayStation Portable, so it’s a little rough around the edges, but it’s still very fun. There’s a great mix of action combat, platforming, and slice-of-life gameplay here, along with a charming story. It never reaches the highs of other Falcom series, like the

The "Rise" and Fall of Nintendo's Virtual Boy

In the mid-1990s, Nintendo was riding high on the success of its Game Boy and Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). Looking to continue its streak of innovation, the company introduced the Virtual Boy in 1995. Hyped as the next big leap in gaming technology, the Virtual Boy promised to bring virtual reality into living rooms worldwide. Despite the initial excitement, the Virtual Boy quickly became one of Nintendo’s biggest commercial failures. Here’s a closer look at what went wrong and the few bright spots that emerged from its brief lifespan.

This game allows you to test your ability to read situations

Hey you! You are now the red one. What would you do next? If you read the situation correctly, you will probably choose to squat, like everyone else does. If you can't read it right, don't worry, we have a game to test your ability to read situations! Kuukiyomi, or 空気読み, is a Japanese slang, which means "read the air", if you translate it literally. In English, it means something like "read the situation".

There are too many questionable topics in this game

The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood (Reviewed) Developer: Deconstructeam Publisher: Devolver Digital Released: Aug 16th, 2023 Price: $16 USD The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood is a deck-building interactive novel in which you play in the shoes of Fortuna, a witch exiled because of her power to influence the destiny of everyone she reads their Tarot fortune to, due to the fear of her leader. The game looks great on the surface, but as you advance through and pay more attention to the dialog, it becomes less so. It becomes... excessively questionable.

A janky but charmingly unique MMO take on the zombie apocalypse - Undawn Quick Review

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you’re looking for a more lighthearted, casual-friendly way to pass some time killing the undead, but be prepared to encounter some jank. Undawn is the latest MMO from Level Infinite, the same publisher that brought us Tower of Fantasy, and it shares some similarities with that game...and some big differences. Most notably, Undawn trades in the more traditional mix of fantasy, sci-fi, and anime aesthetics for a modern world that has been wrecked by a zombie apocalypse. This game’s vision of the end of the world is anything but generic, though. Even though some elements are frustrating or underdeveloped, I can’t help but feel charmed by this weird little game.

What if Tony Hawk's Pro Skater had combat? Helskate is a surreal hack-and-slash skateboarding game

SHOULD I PLAY HELSKATE? Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater fans should definitely give this a look. That said, you might want to wait until it’s had a few updates. Helskate is a hack-and-slash roguelike that also happens to be a skateboarding game, and it just hit early access. It’s a ton of fun to shift between monster slaying and skateboarding tricks, but I ran into several issues during my playtime. If you pick it up now, you’ll probably have a good time, but I suspect it’ll be much better once it’s had more time in the oven.

Lisa: the Painful is the weirdest, most heart wrenching RPG you’ll ever play

Lisa: the Painful is an unrelenting expression of the world’s unfairness. It stacks all the odds against you from the very start, and no matter what you do, things won’t always go right. Minor bosses can destroy your team with insta-death moves, permanently killing party members. Resting at a campsite heals your party and removes negative status effects, but it also leaves you vulnerable to kidnapping attempts or poisonous bug bites. It’s a game where you can lose everything in an instant through no fault of your own.

Play a weird western with crazy cultists and one-shot kills - Kill the Crows Quick Review

SHOULD I PLAY KILL THE CROWS? Play it if you’re a fan of top-down shooters or are looking for a simple, old-school game you can play in short bursts. Kill the Crows is a western about a lone gunslinger on a quest for revenge. There are no bullet sponges here; players, enemies, and even bosses can be felled by a single bullet, and just one mistake can bring a run to an end. At first, this felt frustrating, but once I got into the swing of things, racking up one-shot kills was incredibly satisfying.ᅠ

The game play is amazing, it's a challenging survival game that has endless possibilities and could actually go on forever if you can. The art looks like a grim yet cheerful book and the bosses, secrets, and interactions add to the amazing game it is.
