If you’re a newcomer to this game, you’ll have a blast and should look into buying the game digitally.

3.5 / 5.0 - MiceGard
Jan 12, 2025

MiceGard isn’t a game-changer but for $10 it’s a short and charming adventure.

3.5 / 5.0 - Deep Beyond
Dec 15, 2024

Overall, Deep Beyond has as much narrative depth as a ten-minute visual novel but the art style and voice acting really stand out.

1.5 / 5.0 - Dungeons 4
Dec 15, 2024

I couldn’t make it more than two minutes without being bombarded with some form of immersion breaking technical issues. Dungeons 4 is by no means a bad game, but it’s incredibly difficult to play on the Switch, especially in handheld mode.

To those who haven’t seen the anime, it’s just another SRPG, and maybe they’ll like the story and check it out. For those who are fans of the anime, they’ll enjoy that it isn’t just a redo of stuff they’ve already seen while also getting a handful of subtle references.

think the less I say, the better. Yes, I want to discuss more the game, but I think this is better to be experienced more than read through a review.

These ports aren’t at all expensive, but I see very little to absolutely zero reason to buy this by itself outside of nostalgia for the GBA port.

Growing up, I had no idea that Aero the Acrobat had a sequel. Well, I do know now and you know what, I actually like this more than the original game.

I’ll say it once, I’ll say it again. Grab this game and anything that this team releases.

It’s one thing to just bring older games back, especially harder to find or emulate games. It’s another to put in the effort into localizing games for these releases. That’s invaluable. I love and appreciate that.

Unscored - Aero the Acrobat
Aug 19, 2024

I’d honestly rather we get a collection as opposed to four individual releases. Regardless, I’m excited to experience all of these games.

I don’t think I’m ready for more Steel Empire playthroughs, but having the option to play either the Genesis, GBA, or Switch version of the game all on one console is spectacular.

4 / 5.0 - Let's School
Jul 16, 2024

Granted, if you’re not incredibly patient with seeing hours of tutorials, you might not stick around long enough for the game to get good. But if you love building, management, and tycoon games you’re going to have a blast with Let’s School.

This mix of fast-paced action with strategy and RPG elements makes the game incredibly fun. It’s addictive and has a ton of replayability.

ast Night of Winter is not the kind of game that the average casual gamer should be picking up. Most people will give up on it quickly saying it’s too difficult or too boring outside of the combat.

4 / 5.0 - Dicefolk
Jun 23, 2024

Dicefolk is a solid mix of Slay the Spire and dice action. If that sort of mashup is your thing, then you’ll love this game.

5 / 5.0 - Echo Generation
Jun 18, 2024

Echo Generation is a perfect blend of charm, mystery, and horror. The overall vibe is very fun and upbeat but can change to a dark and suspenseful tone in a matter of seconds.

Xuan Yuan Sword 7 is a lot of fun and it ended up being exactly what I was hoping for.

Unscored - Rainbow Cotton
May 28, 2024

I’m glad it’s finally playable for an affordable price and outside of Japan. However, the original game had issues, very glaring issues that this release does nothing to fix.

Little Kitty Big City is just such a charming game. It’s not just one of those “___ simulator” games where the funky physics are the point.
