Review Cytus α (Switch) - A Wonderfully Tight Rhythm Game That Really Sings On Switch
Hitting all the right notes
It’s pretty safe to say that we’ve been feeling rather hyped to give Cytus α a try ever since it was first announced for Switch. The game comes from Rayark, a Taiwanese indie developer which has already brought both VOEZ and Deemo to Switch in the last couple of years, following their rhythm-based footsteps right to...
A rhythmic treat for the ears
The release radar for rhythm games on Nintendo Switch - or any platform for that matter – is somewhat of an oddity. Every once in a while, a game slides into view and attempts to grab the genre and shake things up; to provide fans with something fresh to sink our rhythmic teeth into.

Review Samurai Defender: Ninja Warfare (Switch eShop)
1,000 arrows for 1,000 knees

The '80s and '90s, a time when Ninjas were at the height of their western popularity may be last century old, but can...
Review OPUS: Rocket of Whispers (Switch eShop)
Ghost-thrusters
One of the more unique adventures to arrive on the Switch eShop in its first year was OPUS: The Day We Found Earth. A charming, story-focused stargaze-‘em-up from indie studio SIGONO, it delivered a shining example of narrative gaming and left us searching for more. Happily, publisher Flyhigh Works/CIRCLE has brought a follow-up in...
