I’ve not seen the controversial Goblin Slayer anime or read the light novel, and I’m still not sure if that’s a good thing or not. Opinions about this thing are polarising from all corners, but from what I understand this is a very dark fantasy thing with an awful lot of sexual violence to go with the bloodletting. I don’t…
It feels like I’ve been asking for a new Ogre Battle title for decades (probably because I have been). No, not Tactics Ogre, though those are also very fine. I do mean Ogre Battle, the JRPG/Real Time Strategy series of just two titles that I was obsessed with back on…

Digitally Downloaded’s coverage of Fairy Fencer F dates back nearly a decade, beginning with Matt’s review of Fairy Fencer F for PlayStation 3. At the time, the game was billed as a more serious take on Hyperdimension Neptunia, and it succeeded at it; the first game was rated a DDNet…

Magical rings are such a well-trodden fantasy trope that they’re now at the point of clichéd symbolism that would score you an “F” grade in your creative writing course. With rings being the focus of Fire Emblem Engage, and Engage itself being a loving homage to everything that came before…

Embargo on preview for Fire Emblem Engage has lifted, so I can show off a little of this utterly magnificent game for your viewing pleasure. I’ve been a deep fan of Fire Emblem for decades now. I bought the Game Boy Advance Fire Emblem on the day of its release…

Given how big the Fire Emblem series has become, it’s amazing to think that it has now been four years since the previous “proper” Fire Emblem (Three Houses) was released. That’s been the largest gap between releases in quite some time. I’m not complaining – I would rather the team…

It might be a remake of a remake, but Tactics Ogre Reborn is one of the greatest games of its genre. It effectively established the genre, many years ago, and has barely lost anything in the years since. I have to hope that Square Enix has prepared this release to…

The embargo for our Tactics Ogre Reborn hands-on preview lifted late on Friday night, so we didn’t have time to do an article for it here (we were off celebrating our IT Journo Lizzies Award win). However, this game is absolutely amazing, and Tactics Ogre is FINALLY back! One of…
