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.

Sparklite is a top-down, action adventure title by Red Blue Games. Straight away, it is easy to notice the inspirations from the 16-bit era of gaming. The classic, SNES style graphics are packed with charm, detail, and whimsy. Sparklite begins with the protagonist, Ada, losing control of her airship and crashing into the land of…

The first thing you’ll notice when starting the game is the plethora of customization options…
Evoland 1 and 2 have finally found their way to consoles through the release of Evoland: Legendary Edition. Those unfamiliar with the series should know that it is mostly an RPG that seems to carry a controlled identity crisis meant to deliver an adventure through a history lesson and a nostalgia trip all at the…
