The Alliance Alive Review

Cattle Call tries to make improvements on their previous RPG outing, but not to great effect.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance Review

This ambitious title from a new developer impresses, but technical issues hold it up considerably.

Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology Review
Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology Review

While the new story content is largely superfluous, several quality-of-life enhancements work to make a remarkable game even better

Zwei: The Arges Adventure Review
Zwei: The Arges Adventure Review

It's great that English players can finally get their hands on this game, but it's hard to say it is anything special or interesting.

Demon Gaze II Review
Demon Gaze II Review

Streamlining facets of the original Demon Gaze lead its sequel to be a little less frustrating but a little more bland.

Summon Night 6: Lost Borders Review
Summon Night 6: Lost Borders Review

A strange but respectable SPRG experience that doesn't stand out from the crowd.

A simply yet comfortable action RPG that offers a lot of charm

Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth Review
Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth Review

The latest Etrian Odyssey is another solid entry in the dungeon crawling series.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions Review
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions Review

A fine remake of a good game is still good, but it also feels unnecessary.

A PSP original entry in the YS series makes its way to PC, how does it hold up?

Final Fantasy XII is a fascinating game, and the International and HD additions make it even better.

Final Fantasy XV - Episode Prompto Review

A big improvement over Episode Gladiolus, Episode Prompto is a decent addition for fans.

God Wars Future Past Review
God Wars Future Past Review

While it boasts a deep job and skill system, God Wars falls short of being an easily recommended Strategy RPG

Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia Review
Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia Review

Embracing a different take on Fire Emblem, Shadows of Valentia changes things up a bit to provide a weird but fresh experience for the franchise.

Operation Babel: New Tokyo Legacy Review
Operation Babel: New Tokyo Legacy Review

Another solid entry into the dungeon crawler genre, but one that doesn't stand out from the rest.

The Caligula Effect Review
The Caligula Effect Review

Offering little excitement and interest, The Caligula Effect is easily skippable.

Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy - PC Review
Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy - PC Review

What does this niche dungeon crawler have to offer for PC players?

Disgaea 2 PC Review
Disgaea 2 PC Review

Another Disgaea makes its way to PC, and it's a solid SPRG - if you don't mind flat characters and a boring storyline.

Dragon Quest VIII 3DS Review

New characters and gameplay enhancements make a great game even better.

Xanadu Next Review
Xanadu Next Review

More than ten years after its original Japanese release, Xanadu Next is compact and addictive action RPG that was easily worth the wait.

Gurumin 3D: A Monstrous Adventure Review
Gurumin 3D: A Monstrous Adventure Review

A cute action RPG / Platformer that harkenes back to the PS1/N64 era, Gurumin is a fun adventure with charming characters that doesn't overstay its welcome.

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotton Past - Review
Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotton Past - Review

While there are a few hiccups along the way, Dragon Quest VII is a well-crafted classic JRPG.

Shiren The Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate - Review
Shiren The Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate - Review

An exceptional roguelike with a great artstyle and synergy between gameplay systems, Shiren the Wanderer stands tall among its peers.

7th Dragon III Code: VFD Review
7th Dragon III Code: VFD Review

A straightforward dungeon crawler that may captivate those who can't get enough of the genre, but is a little too streamlined to be interesting.

review by Adam Vitale on 07 July, 2016

Stranger of Sword City PC Review
Stranger of Sword City PC Review

A solid dungeon crawler with fantastic art and music, but a few poorly implemented ideas prevent it from being a truly great experience. The PC port is simple but performs well enough for the genre, and the addition portrait uploads is a fun bonus.
