When the team at Daedalic Entertainment sat down to make their 1st ever turn-based RPG they wanted to craft something unique and powerful, and it appears they’re well on their way to accomplishing this goal. The player will choose to venture into the world as either a warrior, wizard or hunter and will have plenty of time to fine-tune their skills in battle. Blackguards features over 180 individually crafted battle areas each with interactive objects and strategic...
Book of Heroes changed my mind about the kind of potential mobile games have.
You are victorious! .. OK. I hate it when a game ends as well. I guess I can delete this game now. I know to beat all the levels in five different ways and I’m frankly bored with being human. Maybe I’ll go stand in line for Halo 4 or something. Red Wasp Design has heard your pitiful, lamenting cry and has returned to feed off your agony. They have returned with a book in hand: A thin, well thumbed book of great antiquity. Do you reach out and take hold of the...
Endless Space is a 4X game (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate) due out on the 15th of July via Steam. The interface in this game has a fantastic level of polish. Tooltips put most of the information you need at your cursortip, relevant information is logically placed, there are few submenus, controls make navigation easy with both the keyboard and the mouse, and it actually looks good. (Playing 4X games has conditioned me to expect to navigate at least sixteen confusing...

Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land is a turn based squad tactics RPG originally developed for the iOS, and now available on PC. Players control a groups of WWI soldiers and occult experts fighting the sinister Cult of the Awakened on the nightmare wasteland of Europe’s battlefields. Lovecraftian plot elements are incorporated into the game quite well, and the developers have captured the creeping insanity so iconic of the author’s works. Things start out pretty...
Mages are notorious for two things: tampering with things that they shouldn’t (with disastrous consequences), and fighting amongst themselves (also with disastrous consequences). Following the events of Majesty 2, the king leaves the newly united Ardania to conquer new lands. Strife soon befalls the land as relations between the various factions break down, leaving only the Council of Great Mages as the source of order. Only one can rule and bring an end to the...
Roguelikes: endless dungeon crawling adventure! Zany classes, weird races, heaps of loot and gold, and the dreaded PERMADEATH! Exciting and frustrating at the same time. The lure of these fabulous elements with improved graphics was too much to pass up, and I picked up Hack, Slash, Loot as soon as it popped up on Steam. Unfortunately, Hack, Slash, Loot misses the mark on most of these categories. The retro-styled graphics, audio and interface are nice, but they...
Pokemon has had it’s fair share of spin offs with most of them being garbage. The one tried and true Pokemon game type that has stood the test of time is the hardcore RPG type we are all familiar with. Well it looks like that path is being taken to the logical conclusion in the game Pokémon + Nobunaga’s Ambition. That is a translation of the literal title, the plus symbol is not me being lazy, it is the game being Japanese. Not much is known about the game other...
