Our rating: starstarstarstarblankstar :: HANDYMAN HERO
This adventure game isn’t able to fully avoid classic adventure game pitfalls but it also has quite a bit to say.

Balatro is a weird game and so I wrote a weird review of it.

Another mid-tier Resident Evil game has hit the App Store, but at least this one feels more inspired.

GUNCHO review

By Campbell Bird on June 26th, 2024
Our rating: starstarstarhalfstarblankstar :: DECENT SHOT
This roguelike from Arnold Rauers is solid, but not as special as his previous releases.


Warbits Plus review

By Campbell Bird on May 24th, 2024
Our rating: starstarstarhalfstarblankstar :: MORE WAR
This remade tactics game has a lot to offer, but its charm can wear thin before you’re done with it.

Strange Horticulture review

This game pulls out all the stops to make a game that is essentially about research and plant identification a compelling adventure.


Take advantage of a second chance to recruit one of Watcher of Realm's most desirable heroes

Posted by Shaun Walton on September 19th, 2024

Watcher of Realms players might have been a little bit gutted if they missed the game Valentine’s Day Limited Hero, the rather fittingly named Lust. They turned into quite a popular character, and luckily for those who didn't pull them at the time, Moonton is bringing them back.

However, there is a slight caveat. You will need to act fast. That is because Lust will only be around until September 23rd, so if you want to add them to your army, log on soon. In another turn of good fortune, Moonton is releasing a few events tied to this character to get you in the mood.

Get a free taste of the railroads as Sid Meier’s Railroads goes try-before-you-buy

Posted by Shaun Walton on September 18th, 2024

I miss demo discs, the ones you got for PlayStation from the magazines. There was one that had a fighting game called Destrega on it, I played that one to death. Demos are incredible things that should be around more, and Feral Interactive clearly agree since Sid Meier’s Railroads is available in try-before-you-buy form.

It seems that we are hearing more and more lately that mobile developers are releasing lite versions of their games or giving us one or two free levels, which is genuinely fantastic. It is a feature that should be around more, and personally, it makes me more inclined to buy the game. So this a more than welcome move by Feral.

Delve back into the Sanctum of Rebirth to battle the curse of Amascut in Runescape

Posted by Shaun Walton on September 17th, 2024

I don’t know about you, but I am all for a big, interconnected tree of lore in games or series. The MCU, the fabulous marathon that is The Legend of Heroes, and the long-running MMO Runescape. The Ode of the Devourer quest has released and is the continuation of the main story.

Never being allowed a day off, you find yourself summoned by the guardian of the dead Icthlarian. The Devourer is suffering from a curse, and it is down to you to uncover the secrets of the Sanctum of Rebirth and find a way to cure him. Team up with some old friends and cure Bill of Amascut’s curse before his soul is destroyed.

HoYoverse is gearing up for the next Music and Art Festival for Genshin Impact

Posted by Shaun Walton on September 16th, 2024

We all know that the audio and visual aspects are just so incredibly vital in making a good game, but sometimes beyond an, “Oh this looks or sounds nice,” it feels these parts are overlooked in favour of pure gameplay. It's because of this that it's so lovely when Hoyoverse highlights these aspects, such as with Genshin Impacts festivals.

Recently we had the HoYoFair 2024 New Year and Spring Fan Art Special Programs, shows that rightly smashed through millions of views. Coming up soon is the Flame Fusion Music and Art Festival, set to premier on September 21st and poses one question; what would Genshin Impact look like across the multiverse?

Season 3 of Monster Hunter Now brings with it a new weapon and a series staple mechanic

Posted by Shaun Walton on September 13th, 2024

Since release, Monster Hunter Now has just been hammering through the updates, with each proving pretty solid, to be fair to Niantic. Season 3: Curse of the Wandering Flames has now launched, bringing with it a weapon, mechanics, and a heap of foes to face.

Let's kick off with a Monster Hunter staple; cooking finally comes to Now. Players can unleash their inner chef on a slab of Raw Meat to create delicious Well-Done Steaks, which will let you start a hunt with a max Special Gauge for five minutes. Failing will result in a Rare Steak or Burnt Meat, but these still offer the same bonus for one minute.

Take to the seas in a brand new piratey way in Uncharted Waters Origin

Posted by Shaun Walton on September 12th, 2024

Uncharted Waters Origin has recently released a big update, which includes two massive additions. The Fate of Fire Relationship Chronicle addition lets you play through the story of one of the game's mates, and you can also really embrace pirate life thanks to a new trading mechanic.

Fans of Julie d'Aubigny will be pleased as you can dive into her backstory thanks to the new Relationship Chronicle. You will follow her as she is expelled from the monastery she sought refuge in after receiving a nigh-endless series of duel requests. As she packs, she discovers a letter from her deceased love that sets her off on a new adventure.

The Luminary Wardance finally lights up the Luofu in Honkai: Star Rail

Posted by Shaun Walton on September 11th, 2024

After quite the build-up, it is finally time to enjoy the Wardance ceremony as Version 2.5 lands on Honkai: Star Rail. Flying Aureus Shot to Lupine Rue - quite the title - takes players back to the Xianzhou Luofu, and deep into a prison break story.

The Shacking Prison is fresh off a revolt, with the Cloud Knights heading in to uphold order. General Feixiao heads the attack to recapture the Borisin criminals, whilst General Jing Yuan and General Huaiyan handle things on the homefront. With long-build secrets spilling out, the saga reaches an explosive finale.

With all the intrigue going on, it sure would be nice to have the opportunity to vent and stab things with abandon. Well, the Luminary Wardance is kicking off, with familiar faces like Luka joining the fun. Take part, and you can pick yourself up the adorable Tuskpir pet.

Old School RuneScape’s Summer Summit shows off a bevvy of new upcoming content

Posted by Shaun Walton on September 10th, 2024

Whilst we aren’t sponsored by Jagex yet - hint hint - I'm going to keep rolling with the news from these guys after yesterday's Green Jam announcement. Today we are looking at the OldSchool RuneScape Summer Summit that just passed, and it had quite a few interesting bits of information.

Kicking off with the OSRS main story, Varlamore: The Rising Darkness will be arriving on September 25th. Continuing the tale from Children of the Sun and Twilight’s Promise, players will continue to investigate the attempts on Servius’ life and learn more about the Twilight Emissaries.

Melvor Idle joins the Green Game Jam 2024 to promote small positive environmental changes

Posted by Shaun Walton on September 9th, 2024

I am going to take a break from bringing you mobile news peppered with just god-awful jokes to remind everyone that the world is burning. And we like the world, it's where all our games are. Teaming up with Playing for the Planet Alliance, Jagex and Games by Malcs have signed up for the 5th Edition of Green Game Jam with Melvor Idle.

For those who haven’t played it, Melvor Idle is an idle game inspired by, surprise surprise, Jagexs’ own Runescape. Imagine an MMO complete with all its skills but you don’t have to spend hours grinding to level up. You can click your way to victory, or you can set your hero off, throw your phone away, and let them level up as you live your life.

Strap on your goggles and fancy hat as steampunk comes to Kakele Online

Posted by Shaun Walton on September 6th, 2024

As an avid fan of MMORPGs - any excuse to shout out Final Fantasy XIV - I am also excited when we get more content added to the title. Since launching in around 2020, Kakele Online has built up a community of over 10,000 active players, a number I am sure will be boosted with the announcement of a new update.

Why am I so sure the numbers will jump up? Well, this new update just so happens to be steampunk-themed, and that is a flavour that appeals to so many people. It is hard to resist all the firearms and airships and the like this world entails.

September will be a clash of the titans for Pokemon Go as Dynamax content heats up

Posted by Shaun Walton on September 5th, 2024

Pokemon Go has gotten a lot bigger with Dynamax Pokemon arriving, but that is just the tip of a huge iceberg. September is blitzing through the gears in terms of new content, and you will need a Dynamax friend by your side to survive.

To get your first Dynamaxable Pokemon, make sure to complete the Special Research, which is available until December 3rd. After this, you will need to head out to the new Power Spots to collect Max Particles. These are needed to transform into your giant Pokemon, but also to upgrade them.

TRAGsoft announces a roguelike creature-taming adventure with Coromon: Rogue Planet

Posted by Shaun Walton on September 4th, 2024

Since moving to Switch, the Pokemon games have been floundering for me. Others might disagree, as it is their right, but I started looking elsewhere. One of the so-called clones that gripped me was Coromon; I found it quite fun. It seems I wasn't the only one, as it's had enough success to spawn a spin-off: Coromon: Rogue Planet.

Right off the bat, it has to be noted that Rogue Planet makes it sound like you are going to be loading up on guns and exploring a strange place. Alas no. As announced during Monster Taming Direct, we are being promised a fresh twist to the monster-taming formula, complete with an endlessly replayable adventure. Let’s see about that.

Turn your iPhone into a retro piece of kit with the GameBaby thanks to Bitmo Lab

Posted by Shaun Walton on September 3rd, 2024

I don’t particularly like to talk about games or products that are only useful to one or two specific devices, however, this one is just frankly too cool to ignore. Bitmo Lab, a brand formed by JSAUX and SSPAI, has announced the release of a new phone case, dubbed the GameBaby.

Now, let’s get the downsides out of the way first so we can focus on the good. First of all is obviously that name, which the less said about that the better. Second, you will need an iPhone 15 Pro Max, or the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro Max which, last time I checked, would cost you roughly one spleen.

The Luminary Wardance ceremony is finally happening in Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.5

Posted by Shaun Walton on September 2nd, 2024

It has been a bit of a build-up, but finally, the Wardance ceremony will kick off in Honkai: Star Rail. Version 2.5, Flying Aureus Shot to Lupine Rue, is releasing September 10th and will bring with it two powerful new five-stars, including the perfect healer for the seemingly new Break meta that has been going on.

Following the break in The Shackling Prison, the Cloud Knights, led by General Feixiao, arrived to capture the escaped criminals and restore order. With long-hidden secrets within the prison revealed General Jing Yuan will investigate the situation, with General Huaiyan overseeing the Luofu’s Six Commissions.

Old School RuneScape will be sending a lot of you screaming out of the room with the latest Slayer Boss

Posted by Shaun Walton on August 30th, 2024

Before we leap into this, I feel that I need to flag this: Arachnophobes may want to click off this article now because there will be a lot of talk about spiders. For those still here, Jagex has announced an almighty, powerful new creepy crawly creature to tackle in Old School RuneScape.

It has been close to five years since Old School RuneScape welcomed a Slayer Boss, and that was the pretty difficult Alchemical Hydra. Now is the turn of Araxxor, a giant monstrous spider tagged with a combat level of 890, so you are in for a difficult battle. You also need a Slayer level of 92 to take them on.
