Save the Ninja Clan (Vita) Review
Save the Ninja Clan is an indie game in the vein of Super Meat Boy in which you have to save your ninja friends. If you don't want to do that, you can always annoy the programmer of the game through some meta-jokes as you find his bugs.
God Wars: Future Past Review
God Wars: Future Past will pull you back to the great year of 1998 for tactical RPGs. Whether they tried or not, Kadokawa Games has crafted a game that truly feels like a new Final Fantasy Tactics, and they should be loved all the more for it. A game set in historic Japan with storyline that lets you meet all of the classic myriad gods, you will spend excessive time crafting your perfect army to take their turns dealing out pain and finding a more peaceful way to appease the gods than sacrifice.
Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds Review
Ryan steps out of his traditional gamer shell to review Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds, an otome game for the PlayStation Vita, wherein you play a young girl taken in by a troupe of samurai. Originally there to find your father, you soon find yourself romancing with your captors as a war rages on for control of the kingdom.
Anoxemia Review
Indie games try to pull on your feelings, quite often of dread and horror. In this game, the biggest horror Ryan Johnson at The Gamer's Lounge faced is the entirety of a game being made into what he sees as an underwater rescue mission resource management simulator. Might hit a good nerve for someone, but not for this particular review.
Bridge Constructor (PS Vita) Review
Bridge Constructor is a game that's been around as an app for a while, but has recently been ported to Sony machines. Unfortunately, the port needs a bit more polish. The Vita version, in particular, could have handled a little less change and adhered more to the original touchscreen controls. Ryan at The Gamer's Lounge puts the game through it's paces.
Dex (Vita) Review
Dex is an exciting cyberpunk MetroidVania RPG style game with a rich storyline that draws you into a world of intrigue, where the titular character must help thwart the Singularity where artificial intelligence surpasses the human mind. An amazing tale on paper that has received accolades during it's life on Steam, but this Vita edition has a few kinks that need to be ironed out for it to be a fully enjoyable experience.
