Fury Unleashed

Fury Unleashed

Fury Unleashed, an indie game by Awesome Games Studio, brings the comic book aesthetic of jumping from panel to panel, blasting aliens and monsters, as it mimics the feel of a real comic book, all while telling a very engaging story about creative burnout and self-doubt.

Deliver Us The Moon

Deliver Us The Moon

Deliver us the Moon, which is not to be confused with the Lovecraftian horror title, Moons of Madness, has recently seen a release on Xbox One via Game Pass. The title, which is a story-driven adventure game baked in the ingredients of a walking simulator, tells a story about the survival of mankind, one literally on the brink of extinction as Earth is all but depleted of its resources.

Fledgling Heroes

Fledgling Heroes

The title, starring a group of six birds, sees you flapping through various environmental death traps, dodging arrows and magical spells, and racing against a trio of mystical dragons. While the game certainly has charm, it’s unclear who this game is for as while it packs all the visual punch of a game for children, it certainly can offer a considerable challenge for even skilled players.

Trials of Mana

Trials of Mana

For those who have wanted to experience Seiken Densetsu 3 since 1995, you have very few options. You could have pushed through the original Japanese release with some form of a translator, loading up a translated rom by a fan, or eventually played the title through last year’s Collection of Mana on the Switch, a port that finally happened some 25 years later. And yet, a year later, we have a remake in Trials of Mana that debuted last month on the Switch, one of two classic 90’s remakes to see a release.

Streets of Rage 4

Streets of Rage 4

When Streets of Rage 4 was announced, it certainly piqued my interest. The classic arcade beat’em-up hasn’t fully gone away since the previous version with more than a handful of inspired imitators looking to fill the void. Streets of Rage 4 is certainly faithful to its roots, playing to the age of the franchise while dipping its toe into modern waters.

Moons of Madness

Moons of Madness

While I’ve never dived into the actual works of H.P. Lovecraft, I’ve certainly played games inspired by them. Call of Cthulhu, and The Sinking City, for example, are both incredibly entertaining stories where the main protagonist eventually descends into madness, witnessing all sorts of horrific hallucinations and usually caught up in a dire conspiracy.
