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

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.

Legend of Mana Remastered

Enter Legend of Mana. As was the case with SaGa Frontier I own the original PS1 version. I started it many times and never finished it. Looking back I have no idea why. It’s not a terribly long game (~20 hours for the normal player), and it’s not a difficult game. Anyways, let’s get into it! Make
