One Piece Odyssey Review
“The place is like a museum. It’s very beautiful and very cold, and you’re not allowed to touch anything” – Cameron Frye That quote basically sums up my experience with One Piece Odyssey. It’s a game that has all the wonderful fundamentals of your basic, everyday role-playing game, a solid story to drive and develop the characters, and it has some of the most gorgeous animations that you’ve seen i...[Read More]
Mario+Rabbids: Sparks of Hope Review
Publisher crossovers are an odd deal but work on occasion. For the past year, I have been a bit shocked and surprised by what two very different publishers can bring to the table when their IP is available and done properly. I’m still in awe that EA and KOEI TECMO’s Wild Hearts could potentially make a new version of Monster Hunter that is deeper in story, more beautiful, and that has a limitless...[Read More]
Legends of Kingdom Rush Review
It has been a while since I have had a pure turn-based combat game to review. Legends of Kingdom Rush plopped on my desk almost a month ago and we have had an on-again, off-again relationship. This turn-based combat game has a colorful palette, a cute and amusing collection of characters, a simple combat system to work from, and a somewhat Plants vs. Zombies vibe that keeps the frustration nearly ...[Read More]
Demeo Review
A few months ago, I played a hands-on demo of Demeo. It’s a turn-based game that features a bit of DnD, a tinge of card playing, and a strategy game that puts you to the test. It is as advertised when it comes to its execution, at least in its gameplay construction, but it does stumble here in there with longevity concerns and features a camera system that, while manageable, can be frustrating at ...[Read More]
Demeo: PC Edition Impressions
We had the good fortune of sitting in on a run-through demo of Demeo: PC Edition from Resolution Games. I knew nothing of the game prior to the session, but after going through it with developers Pawel Pilacki (lead programmer/developer) and producer Gustav Stenmark, it became quite clear that this is a game we should all keep an eye on. The gameplay is essentially a DnD turn-based card tabletop e...[Read More]

Bakugan: Champions of Vestroia
Disclaimer: WB Games sent Digitalchumps this for review. Although Bakugan: Champions of Vestroia could seem like a straight-forward game on the surface (and in some ways it is), a quick glance isn’t enough to experience the depth of the game. I wasn’t sure what to expect coming in as a first-time player of this type of RPG but my expectations were surpassed by a clean, fun game with a lot of upsi...[Read More]

Star Ocean First Departure R
Oh, my. Some old school turn-based/action RPG-ing hits the PlayStation 4 with Star Ocean First Departure R, which launched to the public this past week. Having played some more recent versions of Star Ocean, and absolutely feeling like it was a weird Final Fantasy knock-off, I appreciated seeing the origin of the series in action in an HD remake fashion. At least on the inside (yeah, that sounded ...[Read More]
