A Collection of Fantasy Stories, Gaming and Other Nonsense
Still working my way through Pokémon Scarlet, I have been particularly enjoying filling out the Pokédex, not only because it's easier to find the rarer Pokémon as you can see them on screen to hunt them down, instead of grinding through random encounters for the right percentage chance to encounter the one you're looking for.… Continue reading Poking the Pokédex – 7th January 2023
I recently encountered and captured a Toedscool in Pokémon Scarlet, as you can see from the picture Toedscool is a pretty obvious palette swap of a Tentacool. Its evolution, Toedscruel makes that even clearer. As such Toedscool seems to be the Paldean regional variant of Tentacool in all but name and official categorisation. As an… Continue reading Pokémon Regional Variants – 18th December 2022
I was lucky enough to grab a copy of Pokemon Scarlet in a trade-in deal which meant that I got it for a lot cheaper than I otherwise would have and consequently a lot earlier than I otherwise would have. The trailers of the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet didn’t quite grab me which is why… Continue reading Pokémon Scarlet First Impressions – 10th December 2022
Having finished Digimon: Survive I went back to something I bought a while ago but haven’t yet tried, the Donkey Kong DLC for Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle. I have very rarely bought DLCs in the past because I find it difficult to get past the mental hurdle of paying an additional cost on top… Continue reading DKC – 6th November 2022
This week I've managed to complete Digimon: Survive. The branching narrative of the story leads into three seperate endings as well as a fourth 'true' path to complete. The experience of the game remained consistent all the way through I felt, with it's heavy focus on narrative and building an atmosphere through the exploration of… Continue reading Survived! – 29th October 2022
Most of my gaming week has been continuing on with the same set of games, I've made more progress in Digimon Survive, unlocking more Ultimate level Digimon, and in Majesty 2 I've finished off the missions of the first expansion. As for World of Warcraft, I did some mind numbing farming to unlock the exciting… Continue reading Nintendo Direct (13/09/2022) – 17th September 2022
After about two and half years I have completed RingFit Adventure! The need to play the game in short bursts because of the physical activity integral to the point of the game has ensured that this is probably the longest I've continuously played a game, with the probable exception of Pokemon GO. The adventure mode… Continue reading Ring Fittest! – 21st August 2022
I've recently been in a turn-based tactical mood, picking up the Donkey Kong DLC for Mario & Rabbids, Othercide and Grand Guilds on my Switch. I also grabbed, for just a couple of pounds, the Mercenaries Saga Chronicles bundle in a Switch sale and have recently started the first of the three games in the… Continue reading Starting a Saga and a Warcraft – 16th July 2022
Made by Rabbit and Bear Studios, Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is a spin-off title for an upcoming game already touted as the spiritual successor to the Suikoden series. Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, is being developed by a team including some of those involved in the creation of the original Suikoden games that has seen enormous backer… Continue reading Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising – Game Guide
This beautifully created pixel art strategy game brings the Advance Wars style of gameplay back for another go. In Wargroove you take control over four warring factions in a solid campaign mode leading fantastical armies across land, sea and sky told through a bright and humorous storyline that blissfully ignores the grim aspects of warfare.… Continue reading Review: Wargroove
