    Grit and Valor – 1949 review

    In Grit and Valor – 1949, the axis powers weren’t defeated in 1945. In the game’s dystopian alternaverse, the fascists continued, building towering, diesel-drinking mechs that are razing Europe. After stealing a few iron walkers…

    Dark Deity 2 review

    2021’s Dark Deity wasn’t perfect, but the title demonstrated that a plucky indie studio like Sword & Axe could craft an absorbing Fire Emblem-style tactical role-playing game. Although the sequel has its own share of…

    Breakout Beyond review

    Despite turning half a century old next year, Breakout resists retirement. Following Adam Nickerson’s respectable 2022 reimagining of the property, Choice Provisions’ figuratively (and literally) puts their own spin on the brick-breaking property. Breakout Beyond’s…

    Virballs review

    Bolder Games’ Virballs opens with one of those delightfully quaint cinematics that you would have found in a PlayStation 2-era game. Here, a scruffy scientist is confronted by a pair of space cops while rocketing through a…

    Assault Suit Leynos 2 Saturn Tribute

    Our world needs more side-scrolling mecha action. For years, that essential was fulfilled by Tokyo-based Nippon Computer System (or NCS), the developer behind the Assault Suit series. If that franchise doesn’t sound familiar, it’s because…

      Ghost Cat Anzu review

      With its voyage to Japan’s pastoral countryside and a larger-than-life creature who functions as a surrogate parent, Ghost Cat Anzu’s early moments might draw comparison with My Neighbor Totoro. Later, a third-act chase through the netherworld shares a resemblance to Spirited Away. But directors Yōko Kuno and Nobuhiro Yamashita animated…

      TONIKAWA: Over the Moon for You, Season One review

      For most romantically-themed works, there’s an emphasis on courtship. And that’s only natural, since it can be captivating to watch a pair of individuals fall in love and grapple with the uncertainties of a budding relationship. Plus, it’s more emotionally invigorating than watching yet another bickering couple. Adapted from Kenjiro…

      A Place Further Than the Universe review

      Widespread doubt and merciless conditions are no match for the power of sistership. Animation has no shortage of adorable girls who epitomize ambition. From K-On!, Love Live! School Idol Project, Revue Starlight, to Sound! Euphonium, a multitude of series have depicted groups of young women chasing musical accomplishment. Similarly, a…

      Deemo: Memorial Keys review

      Although Western animation frequently employs full computer-generated imagery (or CGI), Japan hasn’t embraced the technology as swiftly. The reasons for this are rooted in the budgetary as well as the artistic. Historically, anime has embraced a ‘limited animation’ technique that recycles cells. This system allows animators to draw only new…

      Giovanni’s Island review

      Production I.G’s 2014 film depicts the atrocities that accompany conflict and the aversion of people to succumb to abhorrence. An exceedingly fortunate few won’t have to witness atrocity. But the rest of us will be forced to watch our country either endure or commit acts of barbarism. Occasionally, we might…
