Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake was originally announced all the way back in 2021, but now we're finally close to the release of this highly-anticipated remake of a beloved legendary JRPG. Let The Quest Begin Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake opens up really fast but preserves the classic experience. The visuals really look amazing and breathtaking, es...
Noroi Kago The Grudged Domain is a new game from developer Toydium and publisher Toei Animation. Yes, the same acclaimed animation studio behind Dragon Ball and many other iconic anime. I had a taste of the upcoming demo and it was a terrifying experience. Arachnophobia Noroi Kago The Grudged Domain is a survival co-op horror game based aroun...
With many roguelikes coming in, and all of them emulating 2020's GOTY Hades, it's really no wonder why we're seeing lots of them popping up from then up until now. And most of them seem like carbon copies without the sauce that makes them stand out from Supergiant Games' major efforts. Even the makers of Dead Cells, Motion Twin, are taking a sta...
Management games based on the video games industry are nothing new -see SeGaGaGa and Game Dev Story. But a management sim based on a fictional game maker working on a mass multiplayer online role-playing game where you can see how your game plays? And control how things go online and live? And also having an investor lording over you and happens to...
Dragon Quest 3 back in the 80s was considered a revolution in Japanese role-playing gaming due to its class system and its unique plot that takes place way before Dragon Quest 1 and 2. Even before Final Fantasy III went nuts with the system, Dragon Quest 3 did it early and was considered quite a pioneer in that regard. So when Square Enix announced...
Early July of this year, Arc System Works and developer Yukes (of WWE 2K game series fame) announced a new entry in the Double Dragon series: Double Dragon Revive. And it looked pretty average. Upon watching it, I got vibes from Double Dragon 2: Wander of the Dragon, and that's no praise at all as it's one of the worst 3D-styled beat-em-ups on all ...
I'm not sure if "cute pixel-art girls" is a set genre, but my visit to the Playism booth at Tokyo Game Show 2024 shows that there's a ton of upcoming games with that in mind. For this short feature, I'll be focusing on the one that left the biggest impression on me: Nitro Express. Published by Playism and made by Grayfax Software, Nitro Express ...
Fantasian the RPG made its debut on the iOS and is made by Mistwalker and Final Fantasy father Hironobu Sakaguchi. While a fun game, it didn't get the audience it deserved. Fast forward to now, and daddy Final Fantasy is back to getting help from his ex-company Square Enix to publish his underappreciated Japanese role-playing game onto other pla...
Correction: We credited Rovio as a developer of the title in the previous article. That part has been updated as Rovio is handling the marketing while Sega is developing the title. Kakuchopurei regrets the error. If possible, any giant company worth their salt would want to make a multiplayer battle royale-type game with multiple game modes and ...
The fighting game term "Shoto", as defined by the Fighting Games Glossary created by Richard "Infil" Pusch, is an archetype "that has a fireball, a shoryuken, and a tatsu. Their main gameplan is to play solid footsies with fireballs and pokes, and then uppercut you when you jump at them". I bring this up because one of SNK's prominent ninja ...
Tokyo Game Show 2024 was a bedlam of many game demo debuts, with the most notable being S-Games' action title Phantom Blade Zero. The game made its debut in Summer Games Fest, but its demo wasn't made playable by many until now. Billed as a throwback to 2000s action games like the Ninja Gaiden reboot or the Devil May Cry titles, Phantom Blade Ze...
Akitoshi Kawazu is one of Japanese role-playing game's most long-standing and persevering game designers. From his weird and unique take on the second Final Fantasy game to his long-running SaGa series that takes Western RPG tropes and ran with it using unique methods of leveling up and skill-getting, his run in gaming is never dull. Controversial?...
For the better part of a decade, I've felt as though Call of Duty's multiplayer experience had lost its charm. Sure, sales were great but I missed the good old days when grinding public matches for hours on end was fun. I saw glimpses of that with Vanguard and more recently Modern Warfare III, but they always fell a bit short for reasons I still st...
Platform(s): PC (via Steam, version previewed), PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo SwitchGenre: Card-Battling, RPG, Roguelite, Anime Inti Creates, an indie game studio celebrated for their expertise in crafting exceptional 2D action games with anime aesthetics, is set to make a splash with their upcoming release, Card-en-Ciel, a captivati...
I’ve never been the biggest connoisseur of rhythm games, largely because I find them somewhat monotonous, which is why I’ve never been particularly good at them. Despite knowing that many of my favourite FPS pros play games like Osu!, I never stuck with them for long. However, Nocturne, developed and published by Pracy Studios, caught my attent...
When you think "storybook" in games, you think mostly of presentation styles in either a bright 2D form or cheery 3D aesthetics. A few whimsical titles come to mind: the Fable trilogy, Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Story, and that one Bayonetta Origins game. The team at All Possible Futures and publisher Devolver Digital are taking that keyword one...
If there's any takeaway you can gather from Square Enix's latest revival of the Mana series that isn't a remake of past titles, is that it's really trying its best to recreate a 90s action JRPG in 3D form. From the lush colourful backdrops to the rather frequent use of cutscenes that clearly need to have money put into it, it's clear as day that...
Giant robots, mechs, Gundams—it's a niche yet adored genre within anime and gaming circles. Who doesn't love piloting giant robots and zipping around the world super-fast with giant guns and big plasma swords? Exactly! So when a playtest for a game like Mecha Break drops, it’s bound to grab attention. This latest offering from Amazing Seasun...
A lot is riding on the upcoming Star Wars Outlaws by Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment. It's touted to be the first true open-world Star Wars game but it's also one that's a somewhat risky endeavour considering that it's a Star Wars game without Jedi or lightsabers. Courtesy of Ubisoft Singapore, we were able to experience hands-on gameplay with an...
Firewalk Studios' latest venture, Concord, made a less-than-stellar debut during May's PlayStation State of Play. The nearly five-minute cinematic trailer, featuring wisecracking aliens and a character named Star Child, drew criticism for its resemblance to Guardians of the Galaxy. Flooded with dislikes, it was dubbed the biggest disappointment of ...
