If you're looking for a fighting game with a back-to-basics approach, then Koihime Enbu fits the bill. It's a title that rewards solid fundamentals, and one that is easy to get into. A lack of modes hurts its long-term value, but the core gameplay is plenty of fun.
Shadow of the Beast is a solid revival of an underappreciated part of gaming history. It's great to see it exposed to a new audience over 20 years later as it provides a brief, yet exciting journey.
To celebrate its successful PlayStation 4 launch, SEGA has released a new trailer for Valkyria Chronicles Remastered. The video, which can be seen above, advertises the enhanced port's snazzy new visuals. It also shows off some of the action from the strategy role-playing game, which is now played out at 60 frames-per-second.
NIS America dropped a bunch of information regarding their upcoming role-playing game, Grand Kingdom. The biggest announcement is that the PlayStation exclusive will come with four additional downloadable campaigns, which were sold separately in Japan. Each of these campaigns focuses on a different nation, and are 9 chapters long. That means there'll be 36 additional chapters for players to check out after they're done with the main story.
Unfortunately, MegaTagmension Blanc hides away its best features in its multiplayer mode, and those looking for a strong single player experience will be largely disappointed.
Corpse Party is a faithful port of the original PC version, but that's not enough when the PSP remake added so much more to the experience. The extra chapters are a nice addition, though, and make it a decent buy for diehard Corpse Party fans. Just don't expect to be scared.
By now, gamers know that Zen Studios is pretty darn good at making pinball tables. There are now over 50 tables available for Zen Pinball 2, and plenty of them are based on licensed properties such as Marvel, South Park and even Star Wars. Now, the Hungarian studio is back with Aliens vs. Pinball, a set of 3 tables based off films in the Aliens series, and the recent game Alien: Isolation.
Daniel Linssen's The Sun and Moon is a fleshed out version of a really genius idea. While it never strives to become more than just a difficult platformer, it manages to hit all of its marks. If you're looking for something more unique than your average game then pick it up!
While it stumbles in a few areas, Rocketbirds 2: Evolution is still a mostly enjoyable shooter. The levels are large and filled with discoveries, but since there are only 6 of them, it's a pretty short experience. The co-op multiplayer also falls flat, so there's little in terms of replay value here.
