Trails of Cold Steel 4

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV Review

Charlie Norris

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV is the fourth part of the Trails of Cold Steel and the fourteenth of The Legend of Heroes. The Cold Steel games themselves are part of the Trails subgenre of The Legend of Heroes games. I know it all sounds really confusing. So - we have The Legend of Heroes main series. Within it, there are multiple subseries. Within these subseries, however, there are even more subseries. Cold Steel is one of those. It's like Inception: a series, within a series, within a series RPG style.

10 Turn-Based Games with Female Protagonists

Charlie Norris

In celebration of Woman's Day 2022 (just a little late), I want to list the ten best and most well-known turn-based games with females in the main role. A few I'm yet to play - still, I thought they looked too good not to write about, and are highly recommended. Also, I'll focus only on those games where the hero is always female - not those where you can choose to play as one. This means no Pokémon, or anything like that, with character creation. Now, with all that out of the way, here are Ten Games with Female Characters to play today!

Pokemon Legends Arceus

Gotta Catch ‘Em All — Pokémon Legends: Arceus Review

Charlie Norris

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.

Steam Next Fest 2022

10 Turn-Based Demos to try during Steam Next Fest 2022

Charlie Norris

Once again, it's that time of the year, when every developer works extra hard to make sure they have a demo ready. It's like Christmas, but instead of presents, there is a glorious bounty of demos to try - for all those upcoming games, players have been frothing at the mouth for. This is the main event for most developers - one of the few times when all eyes will be on their projects. Those aren't just potential players these demos will be attracting, either. There are also content creators, who could make or break a game. Now it may not be as grim as this, but it is crazy out there. If you can survive the plethora that is Steam Next Fest, then you can survive anything.

10 Horror Turn-Based Games to Play

Charlie Norris

When it comes to horror in video games, everyone thinks of the same few titles. Whether it be Resident Evil, Silent Hill, or the many others that followed in their footsteps, they all have one thing in common: They are all real-time and action-based. There's something about that intensity - of having to react quickly, while being hunted - that sadly just can not be replicated using the more tactical/turn-based approach.
