The Heart and Strategy of Bonnie Bear Saves Frogtime
If you told me that one of the most mechanically sound tactical battlers of 2026 would involve a bear in a frog onesie and a collection of amphibians in tiny hats, I’d have asked what you’re smoking.

The Rogue Prince of Persia: Crowns, combos and control!
Turning a 35-year-old legendary franchise into a punishing, “die-and-retry” roguelite is a massive gamble. But if anyone was going to pull it off, it had to be the team at Evil Empire.
