Flat Kingdom: Paper’s Cut Edition Switch Review

It's time for another inclusion into the 2D side-scrolling genre, where a young hero chooses to save the world from an evil monster bent on world domination. This is our review for Flat Kingdom: Paper's Cut Edition. Flat Kingdom: Paper's Cut Edition is a 2D action puzzle game developed by Flat Panda Games and released by Games Starter. It was released on April 7th, 2016 on PC, Switch, and PS4. Flat Kingdom - Paper Mario's fantasy obsessed brother Seeing that the title, you would assume that it makes this seem like a brand new version of a previous game, but it is not. I'm not sure why they chose that but it's an odd feature to add. Anyway, I'm not the best at puzzle games but I do love me some side scrollers and fantasy games so I'm interested to see what this has. Let's hope it's goo...

Dark Deity Review

Developed by Sword and Axe and published by Freedom Games. Dark Deity is a tactical role-playing game that was first released on the 15 of June 2021 for the PC. It was later released for the Nintendo Switch on the 17th of March 2022. It's been rumoured to be inspired by the Fire Emblem series so let us find out in this Dark Deity review and find out if that's true. Dark Deity - Fire Emblem Fans Will Love It For as long as I can remember I've always been a fan of RPGs. I still remember the original Final Fantasy being one of the very first games I ever played and also remember it being the hardest game ever. There's something about RPGs that just suck people in. Maybe it's because they can be relaxing and a great way to pass the time. For some, it's also the amazing stories that bring ...

Dexter Stardust Review

An enjoyable debut from newcomers Dexter Team and published by Flynn’s Arcade, Dexter Stardust: Adventures in Outer Space is a point-and-click adventure game set in the world of tomorrow and inspired by the greats of yesteryear from LucasArts and Sierra. Get Ready For Some Familiar Space Adventures! Indie point-and-click adventures have seen a tremendous boost in popularity in recent years, even with those new to the genre. And classic fans have found those elements that give them the adventure fuzzies come back with a bang. Dexter Stardust: Adventures in Outer Space is a love letter to all of those elements: kitschy 4th wall breaks, on-the-nose in-jokes and all. Space exploration is now an everyday occurrence for humanity. But the discovery of ‘Planet X’ or ‘Vrees’, the 10th planet...

OlliOlli World Review

OlliOlli World is the latest game by Roll 7 - who also created OlliOlli and OlliOlli 2. Published by Private Division, OlliOlli World is out on pretty much everything except mobile. Interestingly, the PC version doesn't support playing with a mouse and keyboard. Has that ever happened before? Any of you that have booted up an OlliOlli game before will know that playing these titles with a mouse and keyboard would be impossible, so it makes sense. I’ve played the previous two OlliOlli games, mainly on the Vita. So I have to say playing OlliOlli World on the Switch made me feel right at home. A Brave New OlliOlli World It’s been 7-ish years since OlliOlli 2 launched. That’s a pretty long time to wait between sequels. Have you been hankering for more OlliOlli in that time? Have you never...

SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters’ Clash Review

When it comes to reviewing ports of old games, it’s important to not fall into the nostalgia trap. Luckily for me, I have none when it comes to SNK vs Capcom: Card Fighters' Clash. I remember seeing screenshots of the game in magazines back in ‘99. I also remember knowing absolutely no one who owned a Neo-Geo Pocket. As such, I merely admired SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash from afar. That’s changed! Get Decked! SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters' Clash is now out on the Switch and it’s time to see if the last 20+ years have been kind to this combative card game. Has it aged better than Match of The Millenium? Do you have nostalgia for this title? Let us know in the comments! Gameplay To start with - I’ll talk about the port itself. To which I’ll say ‘it’s fine. The emulated Neo Geo Poc...

PopSlinger Review

For any lover of 90's, SNES, and arcade side scrolling beat em ups, boy do we have a game for you. PopSlinger is a side-scrolling 2D action game developed and published by Funky Can Creative and was released on January 26th for the Nintendo Switch. I usually play games with a rich story but I sure do love me some side scrolling goodness. Mario is a classic but I have a fondness for the arcade style side scrolling. Going to any movie theater or pizza place, I was bound to be playing one of those arcade machines. So something like this is a great game for me to play and review. PopSlinger - It's funny how the 90's have reached the point where it is considered nostalgia If you're excited to play PopSlinger or enjoy the game and want to share your thoughts, leave a comment down below o...

Omno Review

Omno is a stunning-looking game developed by Jonas Manke aka StudioInkyfox, a solo indie dev from Germany. It recently became available on the Nintendo Switch and has been available on other platforms for a few months prior. The game is an atmospheric adventure about a journey of discovery through an ancient world of wonders. Omno, a perfect game for the Nintendo Switch? Omno first came onto my gaming radar when I saw it on the Xbox Game Pass page. The graphics looked lovely and the trailer stood out. Being quite limited on space though with my Xbox Series S (thanks Microsoft for making the only proper storage expansion far too expensive for what you actually get) I am almost completely maxed out on some rather humongous graphics intense games. Seeing that this was then coming out on the...
