Another arcade favorite to enjoy at the comfort of your living room. With its wardrobe change to modern graphics, evolved music and audio based on the classic chip-tunes, the classic gameplay kept for over 40 years has gone through some adjustments with added battle royale mechanics. The change is understandable, but there hasn’t been any competitive edge where you could see a creative comeback, with players trying to focus on survival rather than strate

The pixel art in the game is filled with lovely designs detailing the very mechanisms of day and night cycles, weather and other beautiful visuals which tries its best to reimagine our daily lives. Players get to experience the story through the perspective of a cat in a local neighborhood, interacting with humans and other cats in town.

8 / 10.0 - Heroes Wanted
Jun 2, 2024

The 3 major elements of the game revolve around the battle mechanics which you’d be very familiar with if you're an avid gamer. As a deck building, roguelike genre, players are meant to explore the possibilities of different combinations but somehow the variations can get old quite quickly thank you’d think. Thankfully, the straightforward guidelines and combinations are easy to understand, making some of the players who might be new to the genre, easily experience some of the creativity it would bring to the table.

With the core mechanics of the game focusing on individual combat and survival to outlast your opponents, there are zombies to worry about which means some co-op action as well as potential betrayal. Multiple stage gimmicks are to be abused and a decent cleverness shown by the AI enemies are not to be reckoned with. The amount of content feels a little repetitive as a party purpose game unless it’s in battle royale mode. Which is why we would highly recommend playing this game to compete with your best mates to witness all the chaos it would bring.

Another great title with immersive classic JRPG roots. Players will be busy with their hearts being engulfed with a tsunami of emotions when the game’s protagonists with all differences in races, culture and relationships eventually come together as one to share an ultimate goal. Players must build cities and defend against waves of invasions which brings enough motivation to show that even heroes still need everyone’s support to grow and be strong. Truly motivating once the players understand that maintaining positive relationships with other adventurers is key to advance forward in their journey. The 2.5D-esque graphics paired with dynamic action camera work is surely eye-candy and the sound design that focuses on epic 1-on-1 duels will be music to every gamers’ ears.

8 / 10.0 - WitchSpring R
Sep 30, 2023

With cute and affectionate visuals and a casual friendly character building system, some of the classic RPG meta such as inconvenient item combinations and bland turn based combat were at least given a polished look with specific tutorials and 3D artistic designs. With plenty of eye candy elements, the immersion during gameplay is also pleasantly rewarding.

Even without any pre-knowledge of this series, everyone can enjoy the combat, action and stories between a master and their servant during the feudal society of the Edo era of Japan. Although the combat becomes quite repetitive while the protagonists develop stronger when the enemies somewhat never seem to learn their lessons, if you’ve heard of this series before, the game’s definitely worth a shot.

7 / 10.0 - Blue Wednesday
Sep 5, 2023

This is a story of love and despair filled with magnificent special effects and wonderful jazz music. It offers some basic puzzles as you progress, but way too simple that you might question whether this is a video game or not. The underwhelming curtain call doesn’t seem to support this question either. But one thing for sure, the scenes and music you experience will vividly remain in your mind for a long time even after your journey’s end.
