Geoff Dunbar of Merry Prankster Games writes in to announce the release of 10 Fantasy Fights, a short (but free) fantasy tactics game featuring combat of the real-time-with-pause variety and a rules system reminiscent of D&D’s. The premise is a bit flimsy, and by the author’s own admission, is there primarily to justify him stress-testing […]

Hey folks! Sorry for the ridiculous delay in posting–the site host was down all day due to some friendly DDOSing from our friends over at Anonymous. Speaking of friends: when you take a look at Dragon Fantasy, don’t you just feel like you’re looking at your old pal Final Fantasy 4? What’s that–you say don’t […]

As you desperately seek […]

Trent Gamblin of Nooskewl writes in with word of Monster RPG 2, a jRPG where…you recruit an elephant? You guys see that too, right? That’s not just me? Okay, cool. Here is the plot, as summarized by the developer: The game opens on a girl and guy picking mushrooms in the forest, and they find […]

I could have sworn I’d posted about Cardinal Quest before, but I can’t seem to find it in the archives. Shame on me! But hey–better late than never, right?
