Fae Tactics: The Girl Who Destroyed the World

Another indie title available on GamePass. My buddy Ryan actually wanted me to check this, even though he hadn’t played it yet. Hope this helps you make a decision! Fae Tactics is a turn-based strategy game that has similar elements to other popular games of the same genre but it really does it’s own thing and

Flynn: Son of Crimson

I was browsing GamePass and saw an interesting looking indie title. Looked up how long it would take to beat and it said ~6 hours. So I decided to check it out!  Flynn: Son of Crimson is a charming action platformer that has enough character to keep you hooked and just short enough to not overstay

When the holy grail of rom hacks finally became playable after a single IPS patch dropped recently I knew what had to be done. By the way you can get this hack here. So what is Final Fantasy 6: T-Edition? “A passionate Japanese Final Fantasy VI fan has been working on “Final Fantasy VI T-Edition“,

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies

Well… I’ve done it. I have finished all mainline Dragon Quest games that have been officially released in English. It was a fun journey! I started with XI as my first a couple years ago and ended with IX yesterday. It’s odd that I skipped over this series growing up but played all the Final Fantasies. Anyways, let’s

Beloved Rapture Demo

This is an RPG Maker 2k3 game? No way. The only reason I believe it is because I’ve worked with RM2k3 and recognize the RPG_RT.exe file you need to open to start up the game. The game opens up with this Secret of Mana-esque scrolling image with some text over it. The mood even gave me

Actraiser Renaissance

One of my favorite games to play on the SNES was Actraiser. It had unique genre-blending gameplay that was a blast to play. Fast forward to 2021. Out of absolute left field a remake is announced and drops day zero! Shut up and take my money! I purchased it as soon as it dropped. I didn’t

What better time to beat a game then while on vacation at Disney World?! Well after a long day in Animal Kingdom I was settling down in the hotel room and turned on my Switch. Next thing I know I’ve finished the last couple hours! Thronebreaker is a game that is way out of my comfort

Breath of Death VII: The Beginning

Have you ever heard of Zeboyd Games? Well you should! They’re an indie developer that focuses on jrpg style titles. Their games like to poke fun at jrpg tropes, while still being solid in their own right. I have already played Cosmic Star Heroine and you can read that review here.  Breath of Death VII:
