Review AeternoBlade II (Switch) - A Host Of Good Ideas Wiped Out By Shoddy Execution
Aeternoff
The central problem with AeternoBlade II is that it tries too hard to fit too many elements into its gameplay and, in doing so, ensures that pretty much nothing it attempts works as well as it should. Just like its 2014 predecessor, this is a title that squeezes in time manipulation puzzles, side-scrolling hack-and-slash action,...
Review Wanderjahr TryAgainOrWalkAway (Switch eShop)
JRPG combat at the tip of your fingers
Despite the game’s title, Workyrie Game Studio’s offering is not about 'a year spent traveling abroad, typically immediately before or after a university or college course'. Instead, it delivers a very compelling slice of JRPG strategic combat action, disguised as casual friendly by is cute graphics. But is...
Review AeternoBlade (Switch eShop)
Needs more sharpening
Back in 2014, the 3DS eShop received AeternoBlade, a hack ‘n’ slash focused Metroidvania that’s centered around the gameplay concept of controlling time. After a failed attempt at Kickstarting a sequel, Corecell Technology has opted to port the game to the Switch eShop, no doubt in hopes of building up the fanbase...
Review Wicked Monsters Blast! HD PLUS (Wii U eShop)
MASH, MASH, MASH, MASH, MASH…
Party-style mini-game compilations can sometimes be a treat. Many of us will have spent countless hours on games such as Nintendo Land and Mario Party, laughing uncontrollably as the same person fails over and over, or screaming hateful abuse towards those we held closest to our hearts only seconds before. These games...
Review AeternoBlade (3DS eShop)
Meh-ternoBlade
It may have taken a bit longer than anyone expected, but AeternoBlade has finally ventured beyond Japan and to reach both North American and European markets. The game was nearing completion back in June of last year, but developer Corecell Technology didn’t have the necessary funding to move along with the localization process,...

News Corecell Releases First Screenshots of Revamped AeternoBlade 2
No sign yet of Indiegogo campaign
Around a month ago Corecell Technology gave a surprising update on AeternoBlade 2, a title previously announced for the 3DS eShop that had seemingly drifted into limbo in 2015. It was announced that the original artistic design team had resigned and that the project had shifted to consoles, including the Nintendo...

News AeternoBlade 2 Shifts to Consoles, Including Nintendo Switch, as Original Artistic Team Resigns
Crowdfunding campaign planned
AeternoBlade was an ambitious Metroidvania / action release on the 3DS eShop, albeit one that wasn't loved by everyone, so it was interesting news back in 2015 when developer Corecell confirmed a sequel. It rather fell off the radar since then, however, and a recent update suggests it's had a troubled development. The...

News AeternoBlade Update Brings Two DLC Options, Including "Super Sexy Bikini"
Yes, really...
Arternoblade is exciting in principle — an action platformer with Metroidvania elements — but is arguably a fairly mediocre experience. In some respects we're fortunate it made it out of Japan at all, nevertheless, as it required crowdfunding to make localisation happen. In any case, developer Corecell Technology hasn't given up...
