Combine features from different cards to maximize their abilities. Published by Twin Sails Interactive (Ember Knights, Gloomhaven), take back the heavens today on PC/Linux only on Steam. A Battle for the Heavens, Across the Atlas It seems I've been running across roguelites and roguelikes across all sorts of formats. I suppose it helps being more familiar with the game formula now. Moonsigil Atlas isn't anything like those that I've played before though. I was curious to see just how different things would be so here we are. Needless to say it was an entertaining experience. Check out my thoughts below. Gameplay Moonsigil Atla...

Rune Dice PC Review

Rune Dice is a Strategy RPG from the minds at Smart Raven Studio. With publishing assistance from Kwalee. Rune Dice is honestly a very unique concept when working with dice and combat. And the interesting conditions to be met when unlocking characters had me playing for hours on end. Now, let's legally grab our dice and get ready to roll for this review! Remember, explosive dice are your best friend, but RNG....it's getting personal! Gameplay The gameplay for Rune Dice is honestly a game of pool minus the pockets and with almost the same amount of planning. I swear the game had me questioning sending the die to a wall to do a trick shot. Which was necessary to fully understand to perform the needed 40 combo dice to unlock the Archer. Sure, you need the aim to properly get this combo t...

With publishing by Ubisoft, become an agent of destruction while shifting between characters mid-combat, combining attacks and abilities to overcome sectors of machine foes. You can currently check it out only on Steam. Metal Meets Metal in this Hack 'n Slash Roguelite This game originally caught my eye a few years ago. I added it to my wishlist after finding it, but believe I must have removed it after not seeing much news on development so I didn't notice the news ramp back up over the last year. I think StarRupture was the last game I had a similar wishlist experience with. Was I just as impressed with the re-emergence of Morbid Metal? Find out below! Gameplay Morbid Metal is a third-...

Don't Lose Aggro is an action roguelite where you are the tank. Oren Koren, the developer, has taken the role and created a roguelite game loop around doing just that. It will be available in Early Access only on Steam. Tanking Can Be Slow... I bet you didn't expect me to be writing about another roguelike game, did you? Oh wait... yeah you probably aren't surprised. I'm not either at this point and I enjoy seeing the different flavors that are out there. Check out my thoughts on the early access build of Don't Lose Aggro below. Gameplay The "holy trinity" of player roles, damage-per-second (DPS), healer and tank, are commonly found in multiplayer games.

NUTMEG! – PC Review

NUTMEG! A Nostalgic Deckbuilding Football Manager kicked off on 26th March 2026 for PC via Steam. Sumo Digital and its development pathway Sumo Digital Academy created it, while Secret Mode published it, the same team behind Still Wakes The Deep. At a fair £12.99 for launch week, which just about covers a pint and a packet of crisps at most football grounds these days. It then shifts to £19.99. What makes it stand out? Imagine 80s and 90s football, deckbuilding, and roguelite chaos all mashed together like a last-minute scramble for a relegation-saving equaliser. So is this a match-winner, or warming the bench all season? Bovril, Boots, and Bad Tackles NUTMEG! A Nostalgic Deckbuilding Football Manager doesn’t bother with a proper story. You don’t need one.
