Stella Glow Review

Spinnerweb November 13, 2015

Title: Stella Glow Developer/Publisher: Imageepoch/Atlus Release Date: November 17th, 2015 Price: $49.99 Stella Glow’s heavy emphasis on song might mislead the casual observer to believe that Imageepoch’s last game has rhythm elements. It doesn’t. It’s a straightforward strategy RPG through and through, set in a world where humans have lost the…

Gunslugs 2: More Explosions, yet Less Level Design (3DS eShop Review)

Dwi Krisdianto November 5, 2015

While in real life most people avoid fire and explosions, entertainment perceives such elements as the fuse of adrenaline and excitement. It is true that we love jolts and surprises in games, but is that enough to keep ourselves engaged? Picking Gunslugs 2, a retro-style game inspired from 80’s action-hero…

3D Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Review

Spinnerweb October 22, 2015

Title: 3D Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Developer: Sega/M2 Release Date: October 8, 2015 Price: $5.99 When Sonic the Hedgehog 2 came out in 1992, it bettered its predecessor in every way. Faster, better-looking and with two-player compatibility, Sega’s mascot could hardly have had a better follow-up. Twenty-three years later it still…

The Legend of Legacy Review

Gervais D. October 9, 2015

The Legend of Legacy isn’t a game that focuses significantly on story. Instead, it revolves around exploring unknown territory and battling monsters until the character’s objective has been achieved. That does not mean the characters are given no backstories at all. As time passes, you should learn more about the…

Title: Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson Developer/Publisher: Tamsoft/Marvelous USA, XSEED Release Date: September 15th, 2015 Price: $39.99 Fanservice is such a touchy topic now, especially in video games, that any game which lays it on as thick as the Senran Kagura series immediately has myriad gamers express their disregard for it…

Dragon Fantasy: The Sense of Humor Saves Itself (3DS eShop Review)

Dwi Krisdianto August 9, 2015

There is such a problem with “back-to-retro” movement. Game developers just forget what makes a game a game – it’s not the (old school) atmosphere (and nostalgia) offered, but the game design itself. For an RPG, it should be the plot, and while Dragon Fantasy: The Volumes of Westeria almost…

Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: A Friendly Revisit (3DS Review)

Dwi Krisdianto July 30, 2015

Whilst remaking games has the main purpose being to elicit nostalgia, Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold goes further by adding a new story, settings, and characterizations, as the “Untold” part expresses. It is a part of the Etrian Odyssey Untold series, originating from the DS games. The original series serves as a…
