I reviewed Inti Creates’ Grim Guardians: Demon Purge a while ago. The dual-character Action Side-Scroller offered a fun experience with a unique playstyle. Now, Inti Creates has announced the follow-up, coming much sooner than you’d expect. Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark will be released on March 27th, 2025.

While I’ve never been as high on the Death Note series as most other anime and manga fans, It certainly provides some interesting avenues for a video game adaptation.

Alexx Aplin — Mon, 28 Oct 2024 17:00:48 +0000

It is rare that I review a game from a new IP and find myself thoroughly impressed. This is specifically the case when a game is made by developers I already like. Crafted by the teams behind the Shin Megami Tensei and Persona series, Metaphor: ReFantazio is a game I knew I’d enjoy. However, I had no idea that it would shape up to be one of my favorite RPG experiences this year. In Metaphor…
