A Plague Tale: Surviving the Rat Race
A Plague Tale: Innocence is one of the most engrossing (and sometimes simply gross) adventure titles to come out in a long time. Set during a time of plague, it finds a vulnerable young French girl and her little brother trying to survive invaders, angry peasantry, the Inquisition, and billions of very hungry rats.
Saving the World with Scales
Although a little cliched with a plot about a young teenager becoming a superhero in a time of crisis, Scales, Spirits of Chaos Book One is nonetheless a pretty good read for those who enjoy the superhero and young adult genres.
Checking Out SpellForce: Heroes & Magic
Billy is checking out SpellForce: Heroes & Magic this week and it’s a mobile game that brings the strategy of a PC series with it.
Rolling in the Deep with Tangledeep
Into the realm of rogue-like adventure games like ADOM, Shiren the Wanderer, Nethack and others, we can add the delightful Tangledeep, one of the best RPGs of this type that we have ever played. Get tangled up in this great dungeon delver.
A Quantum Conundrum in Outland’s Tale
Outland, Quantum Earth Book One is a good end of the world type disaster tale that has some deep physics like experimental quantum uncertainty principals at it’s core. Basically, science nearly destroys the world, and these people try and survive it.
Walking a Dark Path with Aragami: Shadow Edition
Although not particularly unique among stealth action games, Aragami: Shadow Edition is a solid title that will thrill those who like sneaking and stabbing in a semi-realistic cel-shaded environment. Give this one a whirl.
Crashing Through Tower Breaker
The Time Waster this week is an hack and slash game on mobile devices called Tower Breaker that Billy is more than a bit torn on. The game is great, but we might have a case of simply too many unskippable video ads really disrupting the play experience.
Taking it to Eleven with Mortal Kombat 11
The amount of gory details and hardcore fighting inside Mortal Kombat 11 is insane. And it’s got a deep story mode, a krypt diving adventure area and plenty of brutal one versus one combat. If you thought that Mortal Kombat 10 was amazing, then this new game is your combat masterpiece.
Demon Divine Delves Deeper into Demon Accords
We have been following The Demon Accords book series for quite a while, and Demon Divine, number 14 in the series, is quite possibly the best tale yet from author John Conroe.
Very Angry Birds in Blazing Beaks
We don’t know why the birds are so angry in Blazing Beaks, but they sure have gathered a lot of firepower. The game offers a fairly short stint of fighting levels, but also a nice local co-op mode, plus a lot of replay ability.
