(Review) The Ambassador: Fractured Timelines

August 10, 2020 Ailingforale 0 Comments Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Indie, Nintendo Switch, PC, RPG, STEAM, The Ambassador: Fractured Timelines, The Quantum Astrophysicists Guild, tinyDino Games, Twin-Stick Shooter, Xbox One

There is a fair bit of use to the time-stopping ability that stops it from feeling like a gimmick and I’m happy to see they struck that note just right.

March 16, 2020March 28, 2020 Ailingforale 0 Comments Action, Adventure, Metroidvania, PLAYISM, Record of Lodoss War - Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth, RPG, Team Ladybug, Why so serious?

Maybe it’s the “pixelated Metroidvania” aspect of the game, but I felt right at home.

“… wherever you are, whoever’s face your blade meets, it’s still a joy to kill all of the things and that fact helps me gloss over a lot of the issues I have with the game.”

Match-3 games are a dime a dozen, so it’s nice when one stands out as having more thought put into it.

(Review) Swag & Sorcery

May 16, 2019 Ailingforale 0 Comments Adventure, Lazy Bear Games, Pixel Graphics, RPG, Sim, STEAM, Swag & Sorcery, tinyBuild, Uroboros Games

Swag & Sorcery appeared to be everything I’ve wanted out of a management/RPG sim, but ends up working like any other number of grindy phone apps that I’ve begrudgingly deleted after a few days.

(Impressions) Element: Space

January 9, 2019January 10, 2019 Ailingforale 0 Comments Action, Element: Space, Inca Games, Indie, RPG, Sixth Vowel, Steam Early Access, Strategy, Turn-Based Combat

Element: Space delivers where a few others haven’t in the same genre. With a good narrative and good looking aesthetics (and checkpoints), I think we’ve got a winner here.

December 26, 2018January 13, 2019 Ailingforale 0 Comments Android, Demiurge Studios, iOS, Match 3, RPG, Sega, SEGA Heroes

Yes, yes… it’s a Match-3, but it’s a fun Match-3! Do yourself a favor and ignore the cash shop for now.

(Impressions) Edge of Eternity

December 20, 2018 Ailingforale 0 Comments Action, Adventure, Edge of Eternity, Indie, JRPG, Midgar Studio, Playdius, RPG, Steam Early Access, Strategy

What is here is impressive and if the whole game holds up what this first chapter has built, it’s going to be an awesome ride.

Updates and Stuff

-(5/31/22) Yes I’m doing some reviews lately. I’ll get back to dev’n when I’m done with my current reviews.
-While patching my first game Mazungeon, I broke it so it’s off the Play store. You can see on the site what it was like when it worked. You can also play a previous version here.

-Thank you to all developers and PR people who make this wild ride possible. It is a pleasure!
