A gorgeous tactical RPG – Reverie Knights Tactics – Review

Amwald

Reverie Knights Tactics is the debut title from Brazilian studio 40 Giants Entertainment. In this gorgeous tactical RPG, players command a small squad of fantasy fighters on a rescue mission to an occupied city. It's not all grid-based combat, though - there are plenty of story decisions to be made, locks to pick, and puzzles to be solved on your journey.

The days slowly go by in the newly settled colony, in the faraway northern lands. The guards drowsily watch the road, looking for raiders. The peasants work the fields. The woodcutters bring the lumber from the nearby forest. A group of miners is busy searching for gold in the southern hills.

Conquer the Cosmic Reaches in Master of Orion’s new remake – Remnants of the Precursors – Review

armies and castles

The skies are dark, yet full of lights. A thousand silver drops, piercing the black veil. Each is a mystery, a world on its own. Most are dead and cold - frozen landscapes of lifeless lands. Others are but ghosts, shadowy silhouettes of cosmic dust, unfit for any habitation. Yet, they have their uses too.

Fallout Inspired Encased: A Sci-fi Post-Apocalyptic Rpg – Review

Damiano Gerli

The year is 1970. The Cold War, surprisingly enough, has ended without an open conflict. All thanks to the Dome: a sensational technological marvel. It allowed the human civilization to achieve incredible scientific progress, bypassing decades of research. But, controlling the Dome comes with its own set of issues and concerns: this is where we come in…

Dying, what an interesting experience! Well, I suppose none of us really know anything about it, but we sure love to fantasize. What is next, after all is dead and gone? According to Brutal Orchestra, what is next is a full-on roguelite strategy experience of having to track down our killer in order to get revenge. Well, not that we care that much about it, but it’s something to do while waiting for our eternal reward, I guess…

Karawan

Karawan – Review

armies and castles

You watch as your world slowly retreats into the darkness. The trees, the mountains, the villages. You think of all those who followed you to the end and those you've abandoned. Of all the hardship and all the greatness destiny has bestowed upon you. Now, there's nothing left of it - just the stars and the cold. You close your eyes. You return, in your last dreams, to the times when the road lay straight and clear before you. Seems like it was so long ago - yet you can almost see it clearly now. You can see yourself, standing proudly with your arm pointing forward, at the head of your caravan.

Echo Generation Review

Echo Generation Review

Charlie Norris

Do you remember what it was like being a teen and going on adventures with no care in the world? There were no restraints nor a sense of responsibility; we were free from the constraints of life. It is probably why most RPGs allow us to play as 'the formidable' teenager. They are capable yet free; what better hero to go on an adventure with. Like any good Turn-based RPG, Echo Generation does the same thing and puts players in the shoes of their own teen, who they can slightly make their own.

Jupiter Hell

Jupiter Hell – Review

Damiano Gerli

It is interesting to see games contaminating each other, even though different genres. At times it feels like the equivalent of a cinematic universe, like "what if we get a turn-based RPG but with Doom"? But that was a different game, instead, what about a 90s FPS-like narrative in a turn-based action game with RPG elements? Well, that is what Jupiter Hell is here to provide us. Let us rip and tear through it.
