Death of the Reprobate – PC Review

Death of the Reprobate is the follow up game to The Procession to Calvary from solo indie developer Joe Richardson, and the final game within the Immortal John Triptych. Those unfamiliar with Richardson's work and who love Monty Python style humour really should rectify this immediately. And yes I am saying this because I am biased! The games are literal works of art. Renaissance art to be precise. However, if you're of a sensitive disposition this is not the review, nor game for you. Nudity, Vulgarity and Renaissance Artwork I have been a fan of Joe Richardson's works since I stumbled upon The Procession To Calvary during the good old Covid lockdowns of 2020. With nothing to do aside staying in my house working and parenting a toddler, I slowly lost my mind. Giving me the perfect mindse...

Monarchy – PC Review

Let’s dive into Monarchy (available now on Steam, Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch), Developed and Published by Brain Seal Ltd. Monarchy is a 2D side-scrolling strategy game combining resource management, exploration, and battling with bandits. Think of it as a blend of medieval city-builder meets adventure quest, with a dollop of cartoonish charm. Its main competitor will be Kingdom Two Crowns, and we shall discuss their similarities and differences. Monarchy: Reign Supreme or Just Another Knightmare? If you’re a fan of Kingdom Two Crowns, then Monarchy should pique your interest. Meanwhile, Monarchy could be a close cousin, sharing that same base-building, resource-managing vibe. However, we’re eager to see how its 2D digital art style— instead of the pixelated look—might brin...

Wilmot Works It Out – PC Review

When Wilmot Works It Out was announced in August 2024, it was a pleasant surprise. I've played a few great games from both Finji and Hollow Ponds, so I expect a quality offering when either is involved in a game. I thoroughly enjoyed Wilmot's Warehouse and am excited to return to his world. This time we join Wilmot outside of his day job. When taking a break from being the world's greatest warehouse organiser, Wilmot likes to unwind by organising puzzles - talk about a busman's holiday. Come For The Puzzles, Stay For The Vibes Subscriptions are everywhere. Hello Fresh this, Loot Crate that. Even Wilmot's alternate version of the UK can't escape them. Wilmot himself is a proud member of the Puzzle Club; a bi-weekly puzzle subscription delivered straight to his door. As Wilmot, it ...

Voidwrought – PC Review

Please be aware this article contains gifs that may include flashing lights and patterns Voidwrought is an action, adventure, metroidvania that was developed by Powersnake and published by Kwalee. This game is Powersnake's first project and which was previously announced back in 2021. You can follow their development progression on their twitter profile. Seeing from where they started to how they improved and finished the game is impressive in my eyes. With the success of Voidwrought, I hope they continue to improve and make another game. Because honestly, I do want to see another game from this studio. Honestly, if this is what being in a cult is like, then it'll have me leaning on a fence. So, grab your faux goats and sacrificial daggers because we're going to drink the kool-aid into...

Karate Survivor – PC Review

Ever wanted to be an ‘80s action hero but with a twist of absurdity? Enter Karate Survivor, where the streets are your dojo, your fists are your tools, and the teeth you collect from fallen enemies are the key to growing stronger. Developed and published by Alawar, this roguelike is most similar to Enter The Gungeon and Binding of Isaac, but focuses on an arcade feel and using your fists and melee weapons instead of more ranged ones. With heart and humour, it's perfect for anyone who dreams of clearing out bad guys with a plastic flamingo. The game is available on Steam for the introductory price of £3.86. Karate Survivor: Tooth Collecting, Bread Breaking, and ‘80s Arcade Action Karate Survivor is calling your name if you’re ready to dive into a roguelike that trades bullet hell chaos fo...

Vampire Hunters 1.0 Release – PC Review

Vampire Hunters is a roguelite, 3D survivors fps by Gamecraft Studios (For Sparta, Rogue Summoner). It rolled out of early access and into a full 1.0 release on October 30th. The game is available on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4/5, and Xbox One/X|S. Like Some Version of DOOM and Vampire Survivors' Lovechild. I'm no stranger to the FPS or Survivors genres. The latter has more recently become a popular form of entertainment for me on the go. With titles like Vampire Survivors, Halls of Torment, and Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor being easy to pick up and play. It looks like Vampire Hunters is trying to give that survivors aspect a different perspective. Any crossover games that come to mind of similar type? Let me know what I should be checking out after my thoughts on the game belo...
