Demon Lord: A Brutal Puzzle in a World that Moves When you Do
Demon Lord: Just a Block is a roguelite that lets us play as a headless demon. If there’s one thing we’re fans of, it’s headless demons—the more the merrier, honestly. In YuWave’s title, we’re out to get revenge on a usurper Dragon Queen. The story is on the shorter side, but it still works well.…

Magical Princess is a Second Job that’s Full of Wonders
We are ESL teachers, so you’d think dealing with real classrooms would prepare us for this. It didn’t. After the long day we had, we didn’t expect a parenting simulator to test our patience quite like a room full of rowdy second graders. Throw in a magical school and monster attacks, and suddenly trying to…

SoulQuest is a 2D Devil May Cry Bloodbath
We play a lot of hack-and-slash indie games and we genuinely enjoy most of them, especially when they’re Steam Deck Verified. But while a small fraction of them just talk a big game, SoulQuest actually walks the walk. The weirdly written lines didn’t impress us much, but the combat and setting kept us coming back…

Dustwind: Keeping the Post-Apocalypse Fresh
It’s no secret we’re big fans of post-apocalyptic games. As you’ll see in our review right below, Dustwind: Resistance is another title that really stands out with its own unique feel. To understand how this tactical playground came to life, we sat down with Dimitri Zaitsev, the creative director behind most of the Dustwind titles.…

Dustwind Resistance is a Second Chance
We’ve all been looking for that Fallout Tactics feeling again. It’s really hard to nail that specific isometric chaos. We’ve been chasing that dream for decades. It simply never fades. Dustwind: Resistance does a fair job of filling that gap. Not everything has to be a massive AAA blockbuster here. When done correctly, a gritty…

No Stone Unturned is a Fun Detective Game
When an indie game about an amnesiac squirrel trying to solve a chicken’s murder pops up, you simply can’t pass up the opportunity to check it out. We aren’t master puzzle solvers. In fact, we usually hate puzzles; they just aren’t our thing. It absolutely destroys our will to play a game when we run…

Neverness to Everness: Don’t Fall for the Gacha
Hotta Studio, the same studio that got famous with Tower of Fantasy, has recently released a game that mixes a supernatural Grand Theft Auto style with a gacha system. It’s free-to-play, and if you decide to play it without reaching for your wallet, you will find some surprisingly fun mechanics. However, Neverness to Everness wants…

Refreshingly Good Time with Survivor Mercs
We didn’t expect much when we first booted this up; it felt like just another horde survival game promising the world. We were glad to be proved wrong. Survivor Mercs is a straightforward game with fun mechanics tied to the primal desire to blast robots into scrap metal. If you love staring at a screen…

Far Far West Offers Chaotic Co-Op Fun
Is it just us, or do a lot of extraction shooters feel like second jobs designed to push a battle pass? The grind seems insufferable. And what’s with all the difficulty spikes? Why does every game feel like it’s set in some Dark Souls parallel universe? If you’re also sick and tired of that model…

GUILD WARS REFORGED is Launching on Mobile this Summer
Well, this was something that we definitely didn’t expect. We’re getting a mobile version of Guild Wars Reforged later this summer. It made us beyond happy, and we didn’t even know we wanted something like this. The game is coming to both Apple and Android phones with a control layout built around touchscreens rather than…
