Road 96 Review

The world of rogue-like games is ever-expanding and evolving, but I've never seen the concept used quite like this.

With an authoritarian government in control of the country and the prospects of their future seeming bleaker and bleaker, teenagers are heading to the border in their droves. Can you help any of them make it past the border wall and security into a better country, a better life? While modern American political influences are seen in the game, the narrative was shaped from stories told by staff at 11 Bit Studios in Poland a...

Aluna: Sentinel of the Shards is a role-playing action-adventure game developed by N-Fusion Interactive, Digiart Interactive LLC and published by Digiart Interactive LLC. It was released on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on May 26th. There have been interviews and behind the scenes footage all over the developer's channel. They've even announced a tie-in comic book. That is dedication to your game! "I will do all I can to make sure that when I'm done, all will know my name" I've been playing video games my whole life and I've never once played an action RPG. I've played the regular RPG's like Final Fantasy X and Chrono Trigger, but never an overhead action RPG. It just never seemed like my type of thing. But I was looking forward to giving one a shot.
