News by Matt S.What an epic story this has turned out to be. Back in 2015, a couple of former NISA employees broke away to do their own thing, and that game would be called Undead Darlings – a dungeon crawling JRPG with some really cute characters. The developer has…
Read MoreReview by Matt C. Post-apocalyptic stories in video games are tired, to say the least. Hell, they were already tired a decade ago, and the market saturation hasn’t slowed down in the least since then. That puts Wasteland 3 in a tricky position: it’s the continuation of a series that…
