Now I’ve played quite a few roguelikes/roguelites at this point, and it’s fair to say that I’m a bit worn out on the whole genre. With so many vying for attention and little done to stand out, it can often feel like I’m playing the same…

Rigid Force Redux plays like a traditional horizontal side-scrolling shmup and may seem like a game that you’ve already played, but it also offers a unique pod-placement system that gives a fresh face to the classic genre.

My idea of a good horror game is one that paralyses me with fear. It’s a game that is so terrifying I can’t get out of my chair to perform basic functions like visiting the toilet, or getting a drink. These are games so frightening that you…

Look, I have been playing demos of Radical Rabbit Stew for absolute ages. I can get through the entire first world in so little time, beating the first boss and moving into the greater campaign in my sleep. However, now that the game is…

Where recently reviewed Red Star, tackled the pre- and early years ('38-'41) of WWII from the Soviet perspective, Order of Battle: Red Steel takes the conflict through '42 through to the critical battles of early '43. As I noted in the Red…
