Review Elliot Quest (Switch eShop)
The Adventure of Elliot
Elliot Quest is a side-scrolling, action-RPG that instantly brings to mind classics from the NES era such as Zelda II: The Adventure of Link and Metroid. It was originally released on PC, shortly before its first console appearance on Wii U in 2015. It has since appeared on various platforms, with many consoles seeing it...
Review Olympia Rising (Wii U eShop)
A jump into the past
Paleozoic's Olympia Rising initially started as a campaign on Kickstarter in 2014. Fans were drawn in by the nostalgia of old 2D platformers and hoped Olympia Rising could live up to expectation. A unique mix of Greek mythology along with the classic genre, this game definitely delivers in terms of visuals and story, but is...
Review Jewel Quest (Wii U eShop)
Once a Jewel Quest addict, always a Jewel Quest addict.
iWin, Inc. is joining the puzzle fray with Jewel Quest for the Wii U eShop, this time with PlayEveryWare behind the developer's wheel, releasing the classic puzzle game on a console that's been surprisingly devoid of Match-3 games for a while now. Originally developed for PC by iWin in 2004,...
Review Elliot Quest (Wii U eShop)

News Elliot Quest Begins Its Switch Adventure This Week
PlayEveryWare's impressive title gets another chance
Elliot Quest opts for a simple look, but underneath that exterior is a rather accomplished adventure game. It was an impressive indication of what could be achieved through HTML5 technology on the Wii U eShop, before it was then ported to C++ (not Unity as we initially stated) and released on...
News Olympia Rising Ascends to North America on 9th June
Just in time for summer
For those of you that live in North America, you may remember that Olympia Rising released in Europe a couple months ago.

News Elliot Quest Developer on the Upcoming 3DS Port
Targeting a late fall release
Elliot Quest was an excellent 2D platformer from last year that took lots of inspiration from Kid Icarus and Zelda games. It received an 8/10 here, with minor pacing and technical issues being the only things that really hold it back from perfection. Last year, the game's creator mentioned that a 3DS port was being...

News Elliot Quest Patch Fixes Bugs and Graveyard Glitch
Version 1.2.2, for the record
Elliot Quest is an indie RPG on the Wii U that was heavily pushed by Nintendo ahead of release, which is hardly surprising due to its retro-style visuals and design.
