Free Trial for Upcoming Roguelite 3D Platformer Tower Princess
3D platformers are among my favorite genres in gaming. Since Nintendo’s 1996 release of Super Mario 64, the genre has continued to expand, resulting in many unique experiences. Last year’s Kena Bridge of Spirits combined the open-world action RPG genre with 3D platforming roots. This year, AweKteaM and HypeTrain Digital plan to expand the genre further, with their upcoming Roguelite To...[Read More]
Dungeon of the Endless (Switch) Review
Dungeon of the Endless originally released back in 2014, so Amplitude Studios has had plenty of time to work out the kinks in the system. Unfortunately, though, that does not seem to have translated to the title’s port to the Nintendo Switch. While Dungeon of the Endless is still a wonderfully balanced, addicting, challenging, and in many ways rewarding game, it has two bugs on the Switch that mak...[Read More]
Curious Expedition (Xbox One) Review
It wasn’t until the third run in Curious Expedition that I realized how much I disliked Charles Darwin. I’d managed to stay neck-and-neck with him through two expeditions as Ada Lovelace, but my third expedition had been an utter disaster. I’d gotten greedy and caused a volcanic curse to befall the region after stealing some artifacts from an ancient temple, and after that, it had been a race to j...[Read More]
Exit the Gungeon (Switch) Review
Exit the Gungeon should seem pretty obvious after the success of Devolver Digital’s first entry, Enter the Gungeon. Enter the Gungeon came onto the scene as this mishmash of as many genres someone can pack into a single package, a roguelike-bullet-hell-shooter-looter-dungeon-crawler. After struggling through entering the dungeon, it’s time to get out and of course, it’s just as big of a pain...[Read More]
One Step From Eden (Switch) Review
When it comes to games that last, complex and well-designed mechanics can keep players coming back for more years after release. These are the sort of games that are usually challenging but fair, deep and mysterious, but also simple enough to play for short bursts and typically there are lots of things to unlock or elements that change up each session. I consider games like this to be mechanically...[Read More]
One Step From Eden, Inspired by Battle Network, Hits PC and Switch
If there’s one series I’ve wished to see come back with fresh ideas, it’s Mega Man Battle Network, a series of titles which was (mostly) an RPG spinoff of the Mega Man franchise that had more than ten entries when counting dual versions. I loved this spinoff quite a bit, but more for the incredible manga by Ryo Takamisaki, Mega Man NT Warrior, which also had an anime. I even owned the physical PET...[Read More]
Curious Expedition Gears Up To Explore Console Territories
Curious Expedition heads for new territories. The roguelike expedition simulator will be receiving a console release at the end of March and in early April across all three major console platforms. The announcement was made by the game’s publisher, Thunderful Publishing.

We’ve previously covered upcoming indie romance roguelike Ambition: A Minuet in Power. After a successful debut showing at PAX East this year, it’s clear that the team at Joy Manufacturing Co. is making solid progress on this unique title. I recently had a chance to sit down with the PAX demo of the game for an extended session, and feel confident that this game is going to turn some heads when it...[Read More]

It’s no secret that several of us here on Marooners’ Rock are very excited about MISTOVER, the upcoming turn-based RPG from KRAFTON Game Union. Now it looks as though the wait is nearing an end.

At Marooners’ Rock, we love it when we get the chance to get creative with our questions. I recently had the chance to send five questions to Will Seunghwan Sin, the project manager of one of our favorite games from PAX East this year, MISTOVER.
