Airoheart Review
SOEDESCO sent us a code for Airoheart about a week or so ago. The game was developed by Pixel Heart Studio and is their grand opus dedicated to classic action-RPGs like The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (which it borrowed heavily from, but in a respectful way). Anyway, Airoheart is a classic top-down RPG that feels familiar with its gameplay design and nostalgic about what it does for the st...[Read More]
Moonscars Review
Torturous games these days are generally big hits. I think Dead Cells started the most recent trend of platform-action games that are incredibly difficult to conquer, but at the same time add charm to the process of slowly driving yourself bonkers. One of the strongest parts of Dead Cells is its backend structure which makes the constant dabble in dangers worth the journey. Following the path that...[Read More]

3000 Scoundrels Review
New and flashy board games these days typically come with a level of complication to them. When we reviewed The Lord of the Rings board game a few months back, it was complicated to learn, tough to master, but one helluva ride as good board games go. That is still the peak of complicated board games for me. This week, Asmodee and Unexpected Games are set to release a complicated masterpiece called...[Read More]
Deathloop (Xbox Series X) Review
We are revisiting Deathloop, but this time on the Xbox Series X. A small disclaimer before we begin. While I cannot fathom ever having a write-up like Ben Sheene’s original Deathloop review, I do have some notes to add for this newly released XBX game that was an exclusive on the PlayStation 5. I have purposely gone into this game without playing it on the PS5, and I must admit that Ben hit the na...[Read More]
ROCCAT Vulcan II Mini Keyboard Review
Wayyyyyy back in the day, I was taught to type on IBM typewriters, something most kids these days couldn’t identify in a keyboard line-up (why would you want to identify it? No idea). When I transferred high schools and moved to Maryland, I learned to type on the Apple IIe. It was a remarkable transition from a typical electric typewriter that led me to love typing. I was just testing the waters w...[Read More]
Zombicide 2nd Edition Review
We are back with another board game review here at Digitalchumps, as our board game gaming keeps on rolling. This time around, we’re fighting zombies in a complicated, yet charming go-around with Zombicide 2nd Edition. While it’s a game that can be played by two players, the best way to truly play it is with up to six friends. There’s chaos, zombie extermination, looting, and making some hard deci...[Read More]
Soulstice Review
Soulstice from Reply Games Studio was released for the PC this past week and a few things were added, but not a lot of gameplay design changed since our preview last month. That isn’t a bad thing, as it shouldn’t be expected to have changed in a small timeline. Related, my opinion of the game hasn’t shifted too far from my second preview. The game is gorgeous, it has a strong set of characters and...[Read More]
Omega Strikers Preview
Last week, we were invited to check out Omega Strikers from developer Odyssey Interactive. We were promised that it would be the next big thing in competitive gaming, and right now they’re off to an interesting start. Omega Strikers is a 3v3 competitive game that is a little bit of air hockey mixed with a lot a bit of Windjammers (SNK). Sprinkle in a tad bit of Disc of TRON on top and you have one...[Read More]
Long Live the Queen Review
Ratalaika Games put together an interesting simulator/Choose-Your-Own-Adventure narrative-driven game with Long Live the Queen. You get to essentially raise and educate a young soon-to-be Queen in the art of everything. The joys of this game are the specific attributes you work with to develop the queen the way you see fit. The less-than-joyous parts of the game are the number of unpredictable sce...[Read More]
Circus Electrique Review
This game is a lot to unpack. It took an incredible amount of time to understand the initial structure of it to the point where I could see the bright spots, as well as the ‘needs improvement’ places in the design. The game does a great job of juggling quite a few gameplay design details and requires a lot of thinking on the part of the gamer. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, it just means that...[Read More]
