    Tales of the Adventure Company Review: Venture Forth

    By

    Surely, out there in one of the multiverses that undoubtedly exist, there must be a corporation that churns out adventurers. A whimsical but slightly depressing world where archers and paladins are produced and distributed as cheaply and aggressively as McDonald’s …

    Among the Sleep Review: The Terrible Twos

    By

    Among the Sleep is an oddly-named game with an even odder premise: a first-person horror game in the vein of the Amnesia series, but played from the perspective of a two-year-old child. That imposes some interesting limitations on movement and view, but it …

    TwoDots Review: Brother, can you spare a dot?

    By

    Dungelot 2 Review

    By

    I've never played the original Dungelot, but I understand it was quite good; a fact emphasized by our glowing review. That means I can't directly compare it with the recently-released free-to-play sequel Dungelot 2, but it also insulates me from any comparative bias I might have. After all, I can't say I liked the first one better if I haven't played it, right?Dungelot 2 is a very simple twist on the Rogue-like format. Most of the familiar elements are here - randomly appearing monsters and treasure, one-click combat and perma-death - but instead of having to navigate a labyrinth of rooms and twisted corridors, the dungeon is represented by a simple grid. From the entry point of each level, you can "uncover" any adjacent room - that is, any square on the grid - by tapping on it, revealing creatures, loot, traps and other such dungeon decor.

    Uncanny X-Men: Days of Future Past Review

    By

    There was a time when a younger, more naive version of me believed that unwavering faithfulness to the source material was the key to any cross-media adaptation. Then I saw the Watchmen movie. Zack Snyder bashing aside, it was a relief to find out that Glitchsoft's Uncanny X-Men: Days of Future Past mobile game was based not on the current film but the classic comic book story with which it shares a name. It succeeds completely as a tribute but less so as a gameplay experience, muddling its old school platformer vibe with imprecise controls and repetitive enemies.You'll find no time-traveling Wolverines here, Hugh Jackman or otherwise. Just as Chris Claremont, John Byrne and Terry Austin did in the early 80s, Glitchsoft centers the narrative on a future version (the far-flung future of 2013!) of Kate Pryde and her desperate attempt to change the past in order to prevent a nightmarish reality where the mutant-hunting Sentinel robots have taken complete control.
