Serpent’s Gaze: A Punishing Desert Journey
In Serpent’s Gaze, we play as a scion and your purpose is to venture into an ancient desert and wipe out the opposing gods ruling the land. We recently spent time with this new Early Access release from developer Feeble Minds. As we learned in a recent interview with the studio, the veteran team has…

A Review Through Screenshots: HellSlave II Demo
We spent a few hours with the demo for HellSlave II: Judgment of the Archon, the upcoming sequel to Ars Goetia’s dark fantasy dungeon crawler. Some games (or demos) are just too cool and, try as we might, we simply can’t capture it all with words alone. Instead of dropping a massive wall of text…

Gothic 1 Remake: Modern Tech Meets a Brutal Classic
Written by: Martin Jovanchevski We played the original game a lot back in the early 2000s. It’s pretty much what we all did back then on our first PC. Gothic was the first RPG we tried. We didn’t know if it was hard or not; we just thought that’s how things were supposed to be,…

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader and The Infinite Museion
Spoiled by the detailed world and complex mechanics of Baldur’s Gate 3, we spent a long time searching for a solid replacement. As huge fans of the Warhammer 40,000 universe, we kept a close eye on the announcement and release of Owlcat Games‘ latest title. For a while, Rogue Trader slipped through our fingers, and…

Clockfall: Brutal Race Against the Second Hand
Clockfall is a unique game. Unlike most roguelites, it doesn’t kill you with a massive boss or a swarm of enemies. No-no. Rever Games’ title kills you by letting the timer run out. We were able to check out this fun and engaging dungeon-crawler hybrid over the weekend, and we have to say, it’s hella…

A Humble Look at LumenTale: Memories of Trey
We don’t know about you, but we’ve never been big fans of the monster-catcher genre. Regardless, we just couldn’t ignore Beehive Studios’ latest project. LumenTale: Memories of Trey features breathtaking pixel art and combat that offers a lot more than simple button mashing. Are the technical hiccups big enough to give us a headache, though?…

Alexey Testov and the Dark, Emotional Roots of INMOST
Games bearing player discretion warnings for heavy themes rarely arrive in the form of bite-sized pixel art. But INMOST, the puzzle platformer from Hidden Layer Games, delivers a quiet, agonizing gut punch by weaving together the tragic lives of a knight, a child, and a wanderer. This interview would not have been possible without the…

Regions of Ruin: Runegate: Will you clock in?
We’re not sure if we’re a hero or just a middle manager with a sword. In Regions of Ruin: Runegate, you’re basically bleeding food to keep a settlement alive. It sometimes feel as exhausting as it is ambitious. It’s a sprawling loop of side-scrolling combat and town management that somehow makes “grinding for apples” feel…

EverSiege: Untold Ages – Spreadsheet Disguised as a Bloodbath
EverSiege: Untold Ages isn’t another “safe” rogue-lite designed to be beaten in a weekend. It’s surprisingly dense, uncompromising beast that demands you actually use your brain while, at the same time, you’re caving in skulls. Some (the devs) call it hero-driven strategy. We call it a glorious, high-stakes juggling act where the payoff for a…
