The Dark Heart of Skyrim season in the Elder Scrolls Online has hit its second phase and of course that means a new chapter. Greymoor wastes no time letting the adventurers know that they will be diving back into the region of Skyrim by showing a cut scene that almost parallels that of the introduction…
Demon’s Tier+ is a charming 2D dungeon diving action game created by Diabolical Mind and published by Cowcat. Based on the trailer this game is a self-described “dungeon-RPG rogue like”, and while containing aspects of those genres, I stand behind calling it a 2D dungeon diving action game instead. Let me explain. The story begins…
Indivisible is an example of a game that attempts to revolutionize RPGs, only to be sadly hobbled by a somewhat baffling ignorance of what the drawbacks of each genre it emulates brings to the table. Right away the game is clearly beautiful to behold; mixing heavily stylized and fluid animation, vibrant colour, unique models for…

When you play as many games as me or my friends do you start to see patterns when new games get released. We use commonly known terms like metroidvania or rogue-like. Foregone like many other 2D platformers can’t escape these comparisons, but is unique in its mish-mash of older games. You start the game in…
My expectation for indie titles is not to produce a triple A game, but to do what you can within your limitations. So while I cannot fault most RPG maker titles for looking and sounding the same, they feel amateurish and stale when you finally come across something that’s done everything differently. Ara Fell is…
Have you ever wanted to rip your own head off and throw it at someone? Of course you have. Who hasn’t had that random urge to decollate themselves and beat their enemies to death with their own severed nugget? Well, Skul: The Hero Slayer is a game that lets you rip off your own head…
Ever since I was a child I’ve loved puzzles. Whether, they came in a traditional physical like format such as jigsaws, and those interlocking blocks, or virtual like video games and logic puzzles. I have fond memories of an old PC furiously going through scribbled notes to solve the next area in Myst, or figuring…
