The first game in this 30 year old series to be released in the West, Xuan Yuan Sword 7 is an action RPG that checks most boxes with expected gameplay elements. It isn’t the best action RPG but it also isn’t the worst. Although new to the American audience, this series has been known to…

Greylancer – Advanced Busterhawk (Xbox One) Review with stream
Originally released in 1992 on the Japanese Sega Master System, Greylancer has earned a cult following. Now outfitted with modern quality of life features, this is one action game that shooter fans will adore. It only costs $7.99 too. The gimmick behind Greylancer is the unique control set up. Instead of just shooting forward and…
Waifu Discovered 2: Medieval Fantasy (Switch) Review
The main draw of Waifu Discovered 2: Medieval Fantasy is obviously the seductively drawn anime babes but the shooter segment, the actual gameplay, is surprisingly enjoyable thanks to a thoughtful upgrade system. Even if seeing ladies in their birthday suits wasn’t in this game, it would still be a fun shooter. Apparently these ladies have…
Mon Amour (Switch) Review
Onion Games, most recently known for bringing Moon to Switch (soon to PS4 too), is one of those studios to watch because their games are always unique. Mon Amour, which translates to “my love,” is another original game that is absurdly different and always ridiculously ridiculous. Mon Amour is essentially Flappy Bird but instead of…
Dandy Ace (Xbox One) Review
Dandy Ace is an isometric roguelike that has a lot of similarities to Hades, the popular “it” rogue title at the moment. Instead of a hellish landscape, Dandy Ace is built around cards, magic, and an almost carnival-like visual presentation. Playing as a magician that has been trapped inside a mirror by a rival magician…
Neogeo Pocket Color Selection Vol.1 Steam Edition (PC) Review
Released in March 2021 on the Nintendo Switch eShop, the Neogeo Pocket Color Selection Vol.1 is one of the best game compilations of all time in my opinion. Each game in this bundle is a quality title, the extra features like rewind, local multiplayer through simulated link play, and all the other quality of life…
SNK VS Capcom: The Match of the Millennium (PC – Steam) Review
Released in early 2021 on the Nintendo Switch eShop, SNK VS Capcom: The Match of the Millennium was released as a standalone downloadable game for $7.99. Shortly after this standalone release, SNK re-released this fighting game within the Neogeo Pocket Color Selection Vol.1 compilation of titles also on Switch. Now, this amazing Neogeo Pocket Color…
Away: The Survival Series (PS4) Review
Video games are not only a great escape from everyday life, they can inspire and educate. Away: The Survival Series puts players in control of a sugar glider, which is basically a smaller version of a flying squirrel if you never heard of a sugar glider before, and provides insight on how these unique creatures…
Poker Pretty Girls Battle: Texas Hold’em (PS4) Review
Poker Pretty Girls Battle: Texas Hold’em has a long title, lacks features, and its main gimmick, anime babes in revealing gear, is also in short supply. Little more than a Texas Hold’em sim, there really just isn’t much happening in this low cost digital download. With a game that emphasizes the pretty girl aspect so…
Dustwind: The Last Resort (Xbox One) Review
Mad Max mixed with a touch of Fallout Tactics and Diablo, Dustwind: The Last Resort looks like an RTS but it isn’t a straightforward action RPG either. Ported from the 2017 PC release, the problem with this console version is that nothing has been modified to accommodate a controller interface. The opening tutorial is long,…
