Review by Harvard L. Digital card games and roguelikes have become rather hip in the indie scene, so much so that a game like Nowhere Prophet by German studio Sharkbomb Studios feels more like a follower than a leader. And while I do absolutely want to take the developer on…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Mittelborg wants you to think that it’s a blend of resource management, roguelike adventure, and esoteric storytelling about a doomed city that exists in the ether between planes. That sounds great, right? It did to me when I started playing this, and while I would very…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. Tiny Racer by IceTorch Interactive is not a great game, nor even a good game. But I’m going to try my best to meet it on its terms, and find some positives as much as I can. If you’re interested in racing games there are dozens…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. I’ve been coming to appreciate short games more and more in recent times. With a shorter run time, the challenge is on the designer to provide a consistent and structured experience, and often this is done by cutting out the chaff from an otherwise longer game.…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Who hasn’t wanted to catch the attention of a succubus? I mean, other than anyone that remembers what succubi actually represented across the various religions that they pop up under in one guise or another… and what they were meant to do to the hapless souls…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The performance of the Paper Mario series (and the Mario RPGs in general) has been patchy. The first two – Paper Mario on the Nintendo 64 and The Thousand-Year Door on the GameCube – are rightly considered in the upper echelons of Mario’s very long career.…

Well then. Waifu Uncovered is certainly a thing. A thing I never expected Nintendo to allow, in this state, onto the Switch. Publisher eastasiasoft certainly deserves credit for somehow making that happen. To stop beating around the bush, Waifu Uncovered is strip SHMUP, and while it doesn’t go quite as…
