Video by Matt S. Ganbare! Super Strikers is a super-indie little title that was recently released on everything. It’s one of those cheap little throwaway games that you’ll forget having played soon enough, but it’s also quite enjoyable while it lasts. I’ve done a video looking at the basic tactics…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. You can’t really fault the developer (Chara-Ani), or publisher, NISA, for trying. On the back of Fire Emblem becoming one of Nintendo’s most important properties, it’s not surprising on any level that someone would want to dust off Langrisser (originally Warsong in the west). It was,…
Read MoreReview by James T. The year is 2008. Twitter has just exploded into the stratosphere, Instagram doesn’t exist, people still used their phones to actually call people and fans, are eagerly awaiting the release of Half Life 2: Episode Three. It’s a crazy time. But maybe most important of all,…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. XCOM has proven to be a very versatile foundation for a wide range of games. XCOM itself is a science fiction human-vs-aliens affair, but that foundation has been used for everything from James Bond-like espionage titles through to Call of Cthulhu-style horror.

Read MorePreview by Matt S. If there’s one thing that Fire Emblem Heroes proved without a shadow of a doubt, it’s that the mechanics of a tactics JRPG can be tailored for mobile quite nicely. Langrisser has, over the years, been Fire Emblem’s closest rival, and Langrisser’s development team apparently noticed…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Utawarerumono really impressed us last year in offering a lovely mix of visual novel and tactics JRPG, and it seems to have resonated on a large enough scale that the developers are building on its vision; there’s an action JRPG on the way, called Utawarerumono Zan,…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Bad North’s description: “minimalistic, real-time tactics roguelite,” sounds like it’s the latest in the ongoing irritating habit that indie developers have to throw every buzzword they can think of into their descriptions. It’s almost always a desperate bid to try and make their game stand out…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Space Hulk: Tactics, in development by the ever-reliable Cyanide (Blood Bowl demonstrating that the team understands how to do Games Workshop), is looking like it might just be one of the best release based on a Games Workshop property in quite some time. Now we have…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Sometimes a game comes out of nowhere that you would never have expected to see, but it immediately wins you over. Ganbare! Super Strikers is one such example of the game. The work of a Aussie indie developer (I suspect a one-man band), Ganbare! Super Strikers…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. We have no shortage of stories about apocalyptic wastelands and grimy, gritty, Max Max-like action. Whether it be Fallout or Wasteland, ELEX or Mad Max itself, there’s no end of these games. It’s not surprising that Fallen: A2P Protocol wants to be one of them. Related…
