    Divinity: Dragon Commander Preview

    By

    When I first heard about Divinity: Dragon Commander, I thought it sounded absolutely brilliant. But the more I learned about the game, the more concerned I grew that it was trying to do too much. It promised real-time strategy battles wrapped in an overarching turn-based game of conquest with political intrigue, a smattering of collectible trading cards, and of course, intense third-person action from the perspective of a dragon wearing a jet pack. That's right, you heard me. A dragon. Wearing a jet pack.

    Dungeonism Review

    By

    So you've emerged from the recesses of the internet and stumbled onto my review, eh? Well before we begin, let's talk about the actual name of the game here for a second: Dungeonism. It almost sounds like an upper-level class you would take in college to learn about all of the basic fundamentals of dungeon crawling, before you decide to go out and wander around in a dark and murky cave on your own. And in many ways, Dungeonism manages to take these exact fundamentals from every dungeon game you can think of, and ingrain them in a complicated, but incredibly rewarding setup for mastering the basics and performing them well.

    Knights of Pen & Paper: +1 Edition Review

    By

    When you've got an already awesome retro RPG, there's only one thing to do to make it even more awesome: make it +1, naturally. Okay, sure, a +3 game would be even better, but let's not get greedy. Knights of Pen & Paper: +1 Edition brings the same charm and adventure of the original release to PC, Mac, iOS and Android, allowing even more people to get in on the fun.

    Penny Arcade’s On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness 4 Review

    By

    Penny Arcade's On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness saga is finally coming to an end with Episode 4, having changed developer hands once along the way, and going off on many wonderfully ridiculous tangents at regular intervals. What hasn't changed throughout, however, is the focus on quality storytelling, and hilarious storytelling at that.

    Slot Revolution Preview

    By

    Ah, slots and RPGs. They seem like a bit of an odd couple a la Kanye and Kim, but they keep ending up together. Their latest offspring isn't named North, but rather Slot Revolution: Hero's Journey. Set to hit iOS, Android and Kindle later this summer from Konami, this free-to-play mobile adventure marries simple gameplay with intriguingly deep RPG features that should help it appeal to a wide cross-section of mobile gamers.

    Wartune Review

    By

    Thirty minutes into Wartune and my thoughts aren't on my character or the world around me. Instead, they're centered on this: how on earth has a game like this existed for so long without drawing the ire of Blizzard Entertainment? Bullish humanoids in vaguely Native American-garb called "Taurens" stomp around menacing the countryside, and globules signifying your health and mana appear lifted pixel by pixel from the Diablo series. It's a good thing that Wartune is kind of fun, or it'd be easy to dismiss it as a cheap knockoff of better titles.

Well Lightbringers: Saviors of Raia is about to let you hack and slash your way through all the darkness you could possibly find, and make sure that all of that glorious, comforting sunlight will always be here to stay.

    Monsters Invade: Oz Review

    By

    Monsters Invade: Oz drops our Dorothy-like protagonist into a dubstep remix of the classic L. Frank Baum story.  The charmingly cartoonish graphics, powerful pulsating music, and constant supply of quests provide immediate appeal to this Pokémon-inspired experience.  Unfortunately, overly simple mechanics and dependence on in-app purchases create a shallow trip that requires more waiting around than skipping down the Yellow Brick Road.
