Cardaclysm starts when the local Sorcerer meddles with a summoning book and tries to enslave four magical beings to his will, he underestimates their power and releases them onto an unsuspecting world

There’s enough differentiation in the formula to keep genre fans occupied but quality issues may put players off repeat playthroughs despite the customisation options available to them

Little Town Hero has one of the (if not the most) complex battle systems around today. It’s not a pick up and play sort of game and many Pokemon players drawn to Game Freak’s new RPG will likely walk away due to both difficulty and…

The titular Drakes are less dragon in appearance and more vegetable (being based on Mandrake roots) and have a Tamagotchi-like dynamic to them. That's what Drake Hollow is built around.

The bright, utopian veneer presented by Union City quickly fades as you dig deeper into some of the narrative. Underneath it, the Council starts to come off as a big brother, almost totalitarian threat hiding beneath the surface dispensing…

Summer in Mara successfully imitates the dream of living in a tropical paradise, a potentially stereotypical view that the Caribbean-like way of life is one of relaxing, sun-filled days with very little worry or concern entering the fray.

Graphically the style forgoes the ultra-clean, high-resolution approach seen in other recent platformers, but instead utilises a hand-drawn effect and a somewhat faded palette reminiscent of early 1950’s cartoons and put to good effect in…

As with many games of its ilk, and in the vein of its predecessors, Shantae & the Seven Sirens has players advance through areas toward their goal but more often than not return several times across the story as new abilities unlock new…

Red Wings: Aces of the Sky closely follows the adventures of famous polish ace, the heroic Red Baron, Manfred von Richthofen. Players have a choice of either joining his squadron in the Triple Alliance made up of Germany, Austria and Italy;…

The world of Maneater is presented in a way similar to that in which Saints Row parodies Grand Theft Auto. It’s almost a caricature which accentuates its key points in order to keep the player entertained

Huntdown successfully emulates the gritty ultra-violence of the late eighties and early nineties cinema scene with an excellent electro futuristic soundtrack that accentuates the run and gun gameplay

Similar to PS4 indie classic Journey in its premise, Spirit of the North keeps things simple and players at a distance from the detail whilst relying on its art style and environment to draw players into its world.

For those looking to not only give the kids something safe to do but also help create some scenarios in which parents are comfortable enough to relax for five minutes, this article outlines the games and platforms which are most likely to…

Coming fresh off the nostalgic high that was Wonder Boy III: The Dragon’s Trap, LizardCube have not only delivered an addition to the series; but one the fans will look back on extremely fondly as a standout entry

The loop of “Get Quest, Collect Item, Get Reward” is the main draw of Quest Hunter and can be quite additive with a “Just One More” style that eats away your spare time.

It all begins with you Immediately thrown into a tutorial so that you can gain your certification as a Furniture Arrangement & Relocation Technician (FART).

The close quarters encounters afforded by the Hexacore facility and the hospital within Keen Sight are perfect sweat-inducing environments for games like Daymare 1998 and the enemies move swiftly enough to make poor decisions costly on your…

Shaolin vs WuTang focusses completely on its actions, styles and the movements of its characters in the “one vs one” fighting game premise made popular by Street Fighter in the early nineties.

Moons of Madness is interlaced with a story you can take at face value as it unfolds in action but sprinting through the game from objective to objective will have players missing one of its key strengths, its narrative.

Graphically, A Ghost of a Tale is a very handsome affair. The care and attention to detail that SeithCG has poured into Tilo himself and the world around him is nothing less than impressive and a labour of love for the developers
