There are some genuinely tense moments to be had here with its numerous smart ideas and a rather decent execution. Cooperating with your partner during the hectic tower defense segments make for an experience unlike any other. Aegis Defenders is available on PlayStation 4, Switch and both Windows and Mac OS X on Steam.
The smooth frame rate doesn't get in the way of the grandeur of your greatest combos.
Edo Blossoms feels like the weaker of the two halves, which isn't always the best position for a conclusion to be.
While The 25th Ward is still a great, gripping sci-fi crime story, it's really only going to appeal to big fans of the first game
The more I played The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2 the more it was apparent how meticulously crafted its predecessor was. You can still find a few things that made the original so memorable, such as the innovative combat system, charming visuals, and bonkers storyline. But these aside, the rest feels like a stripped-down version. The once detailed levels with well-placed enemies are now just procedurally generated areas, the tense yet intriguing hunger system is now little more than an afterthought. The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2 is little more than a shell of its former self which is a shame since the series showed so much potential.
Revenant Kingdom is an instant classic.
Arguably the best anime-inspired game on the market.
Seamless battles and exploration are welcome changes in the series.
The 3DS may be seeing less games nowadays, but Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology shows that the system isn't running out of quality games any time soon.
There's a serious wealth of content in Kikuya.
Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet is proof that the Sword Art Online games get better with each installment.
When more exciting retro-styled throwbacks like Project Octopath Traveler are on the horizon, Tokyo RPG Factory really need to take a look at what they're going to do with their next game to make it stand out from the crowd.
Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth Hacker's Memory is just as good as its predecessor.
We'd rather Omega Force just stuck to what they're great at: making excellent hack and slash games. And Dynasty Warriors 9 isn't one of those.
Like the season itself, Memento of Spring is a gentle, breezy read.
This enhanced version brings enough additions to the table to justify a purchase even if you had bought the original. Longtime fighting game fans will have a lot to look forward to, with its excellent combat and numerous modes, while newcomers will be greeted with a far more accessible experience thanks to its rich training modes and meatier story. It's definitely not for everyone with its subpar visuals for this day and age, but scratch the surface just a bit and you will find a fighting game unlike any other.
It's impossible to shake off the feeling that this game was solely phoned in to capitalise on the anime and manga's success.
It's fun, but there's little depth to the gameplay and story, and it relies too heavily on making jokes.
Fans should pick this one up, and those looking for something a little different in the fighting scene might be pleasantly surprised by Dissidia Final Fantasy NT's mechanics.
A short, entertaining adventure that'll leave you satisfied.
