However, he was also a talented artist and a devout Buddhist; While his two-sword fighting style earned him widespread recognition, despite his status as a ronin (a wandering warrior, without a lord): He remained undefeated in the 61 duels he fought over the course of his life.
Hero’s Hour Review
Remember those days, back in the 90s, playing the classic turn-based fantasy strategy RPGs? There were quite a few of those! There was the famous Heroes of Might and Magic series, of course; and I also remember spending some very quality time with Age of Wonders and its sequel. But why all these vintage fantasy references? Because it seems like Hero's Hour has set out to take the best of those experiences, trim the fat and serve the player only the juicy meaty parts.
Chroma Squad – Super Sentai Show Game Review
To say that Power Rangers, as well as their Japanese counterpart Super Sentai, were incredibly popular in the 90s is an understatement. Those shows had millions of fans, sold tons of merchandise, and had dozens of imitations and parodies. All despite, or maybe because, their simple formula, that felt more and more generic each time it was ripped off by yet another franchise.
Home Behind 2 Review
Published in 2016, the original Home Behind was an RPG with survival mechanics and turn-based combat. The player's task was to save a refugee and his family, trying to reach the safety of Europe. Six years later, Asian studio TPP goes back to that very same formula, for a sequel. This time, however, it's not about finding a safe refuge anymore. Instead, it's about bringing freedom to a fractured country.
Gotta Catch ‘Em All — Pokémon Legends: Arceus Review
Time for some truth; I've never played a Pokémon game until now. Okay, I lie, I played maybe 30 minutes of one of those on Game Boy Color - but that was it. For some reason, I never got into the series, as it never appealed to me as a child; it was also a time when I wasn’t a fan of turn-based games. Luckily, I changed that mindset, enjoyed some turn-based games, and now I am a fan of the genre. But there was still one thing I had to correct. I had to play a Pokémon game. And with the new Pokémon Legends: Arceus I finally had a chance to do it.

A twist on the legend of Uther Pendragon – Sword Legacy: Omen – Review
Just recently, we've taken a look at some grid-based tactical games to play while waiting for Triangle Strategy. One game on that list - Sword Legacy Omen, has really caught my eye. Developed by Firecast Studio and Fableware Narrative Design, it purports to be a twist on the legend of Uther Pendragon - father of King Arthur. While not a game-changer, this 2018 title is a fun journey that doesn't take too long to get through - ideal for waiting out that last week before the anticipated release.
