Everything I've seen of this game looks amazing, so there's no way around it. 😊
I'm really rooting for this to be a big success!

I'll definitely play this, but I rarely finish games that are that long. Hopefully this will be the exception.

I wonder how many will buy this expecting it to be able to handle Vita. I mean, it has Vita in its name, looks like one. Feels devious.

Battle spells are finished and battle items are on the way. I started working on this game about a year ago and we are finally almost feature complete, ready to enter the content phase and start working on the public demo, which will feature the entire first story. The excitement is unreal!

Dead or Alive: You can’t touch this You’d be forgiven for thinking Dead or Alive was merely copying Sega’s legendary Virtua Fighter 2 if you glanced between the two of them. It certainly looks like Tecmo’s game assu…

"It’s not about power here, at least not in the traditional sense of muscular strength or damage output, but control. The subtle difference between being unstoppable, and untouchable."

DoA's counter button is one of the best features in the genre:

Live by Honor, Kill by Stealth: Eine kurze Geschichte der Tenchu-Reihe Der bescheidene Ruhm der Tenchu-Reihe speist sich aus zwei Spielen, die 1998 und 2000 für die erste PlayStation erschienen: Tenchu: Stealth Assassins war das Debütwerk des japanischen Studios Acqui…

#Tenchu! Das war einmal ein stolzer Name, der Stealth-Fans in Erregung versetzte.

Die Reihe begründete ein Genre, war das Debütwerk eines bis heute existierenden Studios, wurde in Deutschland indiziert, und ging durch vieler Publisher Hände. Es gab Höhen, es gab Tiefen, und eine ausgedehnte Stille:

Twin Cities tow truck driver returns abandoned vehicles to families after ICE arrests Juan Leon sends a "chase" car to check out where abandoned vehicles are located and arranges discreet drop-offs. Since late December, he estimated they have dropped off 250 cars.

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota.

This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats.

They hate the helpers.

Which is why must keep helping.

Nettou Samurai Spirits: Punching well above its weight Nintendo’s Game Boy has always been an underpowered budget-class handheld. The screen was blurry and green. The sounds it produced were beepy and coarse. It was a rectangle of thick plastic, …

This tiny take on a huge game somehow manages to recreate the original's style and luxurious swagger, while still feeling like it was always made for GB. Smart design and a lot of heart make this my favourite not-NeoGeo version of Samurai Spirits:

I don't typically put much thought into chain scoring or scoring in beat 'em ups at all, but this one got me hooked on trying to go higher! And it's a free browser game! From the creator of Fight'N Rage.

Really impressive PICO-8 graphics, too!
