Royal Frontier – Review

Charlie Norris

Tell me if you've heard this one before: A mage, a healer and a warrior find themselves protectors of the Oregon Trail.

Orcs, bears and everything in-between will join the pillagers in attacking the caravan. Welcome to the Royal Frontier - or The Oregon Trail with orcs. Is it fun out here? Read on to find out.

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.

Brutal Orchestra

Brutal Orchestra – Review

Damiano Gerli

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…
