Devious Dungeon – PS4/Vita Review

League of Evil is a port of a 2011 iOS game that for some reason has only just made the leap to home consoles. Its obvious inspiration is a super meaty game featuring a boy. Given they’re almost contemporaries it’s hardly surprising. There, glad we got that out of the […]
