Platform: Nintendo Switch Genre: Co-op puzzler WayForward has figured out the old-school 2D neo retro-style game and aesthetic down to a science. With titles like the Shantae series and their take on the Double Dragon/Kunio-kun universe, there's nowhere to go but up for this developer. Though it does beg the question

At Kakuchopurei.com, we love Respawn's Apex Legends; so much so that we've spent countless hours to not only refine our overall skills in the game but also other fun ways to win matches. But today we ain't gonna talk about strategies. Instead, we've decided to rank the current weapons available in the game, from the t

Just recently, Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition saw an improvement in its matchmaking and online play. It was a bit vague on the process, but Capcom cleared the air with some detailed explanation. Basically, the direct focuses here are desyncing issues and one-sided rollback. All players should experience less turbu

The portable console market is currently dominated by the Nintendo Switch with the PSP or PS Vita nowhere to be seen. Back then, we'd get awesome games like the rhythmic god game Patapon and its two sequels. Well, it looks like we're getting another encore. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w186xFg91_A&w=56

Music is always the weapon, especially in the peppy EDM-esque world of Cadence of Hyrule. Essentially a heavily-modified Crypt of the Necrodancer, a top-down roguelike with awesome rhythm music gameplay, this Nintendo collaboration arguably improves the existing formula. How? By making it a more open-ended adventure w

I was just trying to keep alive. I grew up spending hours trying to keep alive playing side-scrolling games like Ninja Gaiden, Battletoads and Contra. My personal favourite of that era was Street Fighter 2010: The Final Fight (which was not even really a Street Fighter game or Final Fight game). I had the Famicom versi

Popular game tracker site Gamestat have reportedly discovered listings for not only a Final Fantasy VII Remake demo on the PlayStation Store, but also one for the elusive Patapon 2 Remastered. Let's take this with a grain of salt, as a Final Fantasy VII Remake demo has yet to be officially announced by Square Enix, th

Take a walk on the dark side with the upcoming Final Fantasy XIV expansion that's slated for the 1st of July. After going through two expansions of the game trying to save the world, this latest large-scale DLC plans to make you take the dark route by journeying across alternate dimensions and fighting the evil Garlean

So much for that Spring 2019 release date, eh Metronomik? The Malaysian-made upcoming action game with rhythm beats No Straight Roads will be delayed to early 2020. On the plus side, the devs will be partnering with publisher Sold Out, and will also get physical versions for sale for only US$39.99. Oh, and it'll be fo

Metronomik CEO Wan Hazmer is currently developing No Straight Roads, but before that, he was the Lead Game Designer for Square Enix's Final Fantasy XV. He's taking everything he learned in his years working at the Japanese studio and bringing it here to Malaysia starting with No Straight Roads. In an interview with Ga

Atlus has finally revealed what exactly Persona 5 Royal is, and it's essentially a Persona 4 Golden type of upgrade for the 2017 JRPG hit. The expanded version of Persona 5 will release for the PS4 in Japan on 31 October 2019 (Halloween!) while the rest of the world (Asia and the West) will receive the localized versio

Games can be hard, but if you’ve played Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, you’re probably reconsidering what difficulty even means. Sekiro is a game that preys on the typical gaming habits we may have developed over the years. Dodging, a staple in action games, just doesn’t work against many attacks; to

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is a fun game. It will also make you its bitch if you play the game carelessly. We're here to help you out if you're stuck in the early parts of the game. We'll divide this guide into two parts: one for basics and intermediate knowhows, and the other for early bosses. We'll be putting spoiler

Malaysia should be proud knowing that one of its gaming studios Metronomik may have an international music-savvy action gaming hit in its hand: No Straight Roads. But did you know that it was close to being a turn-based RPG with music? According to an exclusive Kakuchopurei interview with Metronomik's CEO and game des

Unlike Tekken 7 and SoulCalibur 6, this year's outsiders and away team players were no match for Japan's top Street Fighter 5 players. The top 8 was filled with 6 Japanese players, 1 US player (Punk), and 1 Taiwanese player (OilKing). Fans and players hoping for a turnaround from the US and Taiwanese representative dur

Girl climbs mountain; like, hard level mountain. I feel like I’m a 10 years old gamer from the late 1980 as I played this game. Partly because I kept dying again and again while trying to jump, dash and climb. I’ve been listening to the Celeste original soundtrack. This soundtrack is intense in terms of

Do you feel like your Nintendo Switch is lacking a certain beat of a drum? A Taiko drum? Bandai Namco will give you that chance to rub that rhythm gaming itch for you, since it just announced the English version of Taiko no Tatsujin for the Nintendo Switch for Southeast Asia digital music drumming fans. The game will
