School can be a challenging time for any student. Whether just entering the school system as a young elementary schooler or dealing with the stresses of college, starting a brand new year can be tough. Imagine how much more difficult school life would be if a giant Kraken appeared asking…

Originally released on the PlayStation 4, Atlus’ and Vanillaware’s 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim has made its way to the Nintendo Switch.
