Riding Into Battle by Destrier Studios

Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance Review Disclaimer: My only experience with the Gundam anime is IBO. I still know stuff about the UC timeline and whatnot, but IBO is all that I’ve watched entirely before this. My reviews are spoiler free, or at least I try to keep it that way. TLDR: I don’t really think this is worth your time unless you’re pretty big on Gundam. They do a lot of stuff wrong here, but there are some cool parts about it. Tough not to considering  you’ve got big robots fighting each other, but you know what I mean.          Requiem for Vengeance  was not really my cup of tea. I want to say that as I was watching this, until about the fifth episode there were multiple points where I wanted to drop it. Then the last episode further irked me because, quite frankly, it was awful. Does that mean the show itself is bad? To be honest I would say so, but to my knowledge Gundam isn’t portrayed in 3D media ...

Queen Beast Review Disclaimer: I’ve beaten the game and gotten every achievement, it took just over 6 hours. I try to keep all my reviews spoiler free. TLDR: This is a charming and wonderful experience that I recommend to anyone with time to kill. It is also, however, a VN in the literal sense. There is no gameplay and it is a short story. The art and music are superb. There are very minor errors, nothing jarring. It is FREE on Steam, so at the very least I’d say go add it to your library. I want to see more from this world and creator.          Queen Beast  popped up on my radar when, as the broke college student that I am, I was browsing Steam for free games. I’d always been a fan of the idea of VNs, but have never engaged in any serious attempt to play them before. Call me a poser if you want, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know anything about them. I know all about the famous ones, they’re plots and rout...

Twilight Struggle Review Disclaimer: I asked for and was provided a review copy courtesy of GMT Games . TLDR: This game belongs on everyone’s shelf, it’s a classic for a reason and a new favorite of mine. Very few gaming experiences that hinge on strategy make you feel the way this game does when making decisions.          Twilight Struggle   is one of the smartest games I’ve ever played. I’ll say right now that although it’s listed as a 2-3 hour game, my experience with this has taken up double that per session. This is mostly because for a new player, and even for me, thinking about what to do takes up more time than you’d think. If two confident and experienced players faced off here, they’d probably only take 2-3 hours, but I played this game with a different person each time, so although my turns were relatively short (let me not lie, I took my time), explaining things and setting up the board wh...

HyperMall: Unlimited Violence Review Disclaimer: I asked for and was provided a review copy. Unfortunately, I’ve started up university again and am experiencing the busiest semester I’ve ever had. As such this is a mere overview, it’s my thoughts about the game after reading through the core book. I simply do not have the time to play sessions to an extent that is reasonable for releasing a thorough review, though I expect this to change in the coming weeks (hopefully). I’d like to extend my apologies to the creator for taking so long in writing this, as my intent was to help the associated Kickstarter campaign, but luckily as I’m writing this the funding goal has been met. TLDR: This project is extremely unique, creative, and humorous. I think that if you’ve got the right people around you then it would make for an unforgettable experience. The art, aesthetic, and humor alone make this worth checking out, even if you don’t see yourself playing ...
