SaviorS: Oath of the Blade “fuses satisfying combat with the pursuit of supreme gear”. Princess Crown and Dragon’s Crown are two of my all-time favourite 2D action RPGs. Both are the work of George Kamitani, the genius behind Vanillaware, a studio famous for its gorgeous hand-drawn artwork. Whenever I see a game that apes either…

Courtesy of OldUnreal. If you cast your mind back to November of 2024, you may remember us telling you that the Unreal community, OldUnreal, had released a pair of installers, with Epic’s blessing, to download the influential first-person shooters Unreal (more specifically, Unreal Gold) and Unreal Tournament for absolutely nothing from Archive.org.

Armando Gonzalez and Jordan Dorrington have been lighting up the scoreboard and are very…
“More people need to try out Bangai-O”. Bakuretsu Muteki Bangaiō (or plain old Bangai-O, if you prefer) hit the Nintendo 64 all the way back in 1999, and was exclusive to Japan at the time. It’s now one of the console’s most expensive games, thanks to excellent quality and low print run, but it did…
