After that narrow escape from death, we are met with an unexpected ally who has been wandering this mall for four days already. Her name is Akari, and she is understandably desperate to find a way out. All too quick to trust, she will tag along for the rest of the game. Her role is […]

As soon as you step into the building, you will hear a thumping sound and likely wonder what on earth that is. Thump, thump, thump, then the bass drop. It turns out a group of ghouls are blasting HardBass. That perfectly sets the tone of the title. Despite the eerie visuals, the people inhabiting this

One of the key things that differentiates this title from Dark Souls is the lack of healing items just being given out. They are random drops here, and are more valuable than even the Bone Marrow/Souls we collect from fallen enemies. I’ve often found myself willing to risk death or a massive setback just to
One of the first things you’ll notice while playing is the fantastic soundtrack and its high difficulty starting off. It does not begin as a power fantasy, in stark contrast to many other Survivor-type games. By the ten-minute mark of the first level, you bet I was slowly waddling away from the tsunami of foes

Before starting the game properly, you must select one of three difficulty settings. This choice can not be changed later on. If you are an achievement hunter, most of them are unlocked by playing through the Hard mode, yet to 100% will require three separate playthroughs. With that being said, our journey begins as a

If you’ve ever played the original Castlevania, the gameplay here will fit like a glove. Your basic attack is pretty much the whip, and sub-weapons have differing effects at the cost of SP points. Combat is the primary focus as you traverse through these often times labyrinthine levels. Aside from striking your foes, it is
The Tribulation Entanglement Review Read More »
It is one heck of an intro and is where a majority of the story takes place. The rest predominantly consists of you trying to survive this new twisted world that the Moon Entity wrought. As you walk through these desolate lands, it won’t be long before coming across one of its monstrous creations and

One of the first things you’ll notice is the beautiful sprite work and animations. Those stunning visuals will hold their quality throughout and even improve as you reach the conclusion. It really reminds me of playing Another World for the first time, for those old enough to remember that title. As tempting as it is

So sass filled intro aside, I must commend how long John can sprint. With the unnecessarily large environments you must traverse, they could have easily doubled this title’s playtime and driven me to alcoholism. There is little in the way of gameplay starting off. You merely go from ‘Point A’ to ‘Point B’ in the
