We’ve seen this game before, back in 2018, but Riddled Corpses EX has just had a PS5 release. This game, from French devs Cowcat, is an isometric/top-down twin-stick shooter that places equal emphasis on blasting zombies and upgrading your firepower. Set just after some sort of demonic apocalypse, the game has […]

The House of the Dead is a series that has had more chances then most Sega franchises. There were ports on the Wii and PS3, but the original title has always been missing from these modern (from two generations ago!) releases, with them instead concentrating on 2 onwards. Forever Entertainment, […]

Valley of the Dead: MalnaZidos is a third-person survival horror game which comes to us by way of Gammera Nest and the Spanish PlayStation Talents program. That initiative is a way to get lesser-known talent into the PSN marketplace and so far it’s not made for many good games but […]

Zombie games, they never die do they? Rather apt really. You can go back ten to fifteen years and people were calling for a break from them. Similarly the open world genre is saturating gaming somewhat, with every game needing huge maps with icons all over it to keep the […]

We’ve been championing 10TonsLtd for a long time now. The Finnish developer/publisher has put out some of our favourite rogue-lites, namely Jydge, Tesla vs. Lovecraft and Neonchrome. And now it’s time for Dysmantle, a game that eschews the whole rogue thing and is instead described, somewhat incorrectly, as an open-world RPG. Quick how […]

Unturned is an open-world zombie survival game that has been around for years on the PC where it has a thriving community and a big modding scene. The story seems to be that it was made by a 16 year old Canadian kid using Unity assets (although there is a […]

Visual novels just don’t stop coming. It’s not a genre I’m especially enamoured with but it’s been fascinating to see the genre transform over time. After plenty of development time and a successful kickstarter, Undead Darlings: No Cure for Love has finally come to fruition. Mr. Tired Media are mixing […]

Invader Studios have certainly tattooed an influence firmly on Daymare 1998. The title screen, gameplay and tone take huge nods towards Capcom’s Resident Evil series. Indeed, this project originally began as a fan-made remake of Resident Evil 2. It just about gets away with it being a loving homage but […]

In this job you see games of all sizes and origins. As well as the big hitters, you get smaller efforts that have sometimes seen a prior Steam or mobile release. Some even find their way on to web browsers before an eventual console release. Random Heroes: Gold Edition is […]

There’s something about classic survival horror that really appeals to me. I think it’s the routines you build around enemy placements, ammo and inventory management and the daft puzzles that culminate to produce something compelling. Brok3nsite clearly have an appreciation for the genre and Dawn of Fear is their attempt […]
