Death or Treat is a 2D action platformer where the player takes control of a ghost named Scary and must save the day by venturing out into the roguelite world of Hallowtown. On paper, and on first impressions, this is a title that hits all the points required for a solid gameplay experience but in…
I have always loved the genre of turn based strategy RPGs, a bit of a slower paced game than is expected in this era and one that has sadly been dying out and kept alive mostly by indie developers. Whenever one of these games comes out, I want it to be good so it can…
Mechs in fantasy, something that sounds so good together one might be surprised to find themselves hard pressed to think of enough games to count past one hand if asked to name them all.

With their worlds built on a group of survivors battling against some supernatural manifestation of evil, it’s really more of a question of which…
I will not pretend I was excited for this game, and if you are curious why consider checking out my review for Sword and Fairy 6, the previous game in the franchise. Luckily, you don’t have to play that one as this series of games is more or less Chinese Final Fantasy, with titles being…
This is about as classic a dlc as you’ll ever get these days, Blue Sun is effectively just an expansion of the game world; whether that is a good or bad thing is hard to say. Blue Sun adds three large new zones to the world, there’s no hint to where to start these areas…
