Salt and Sacrifice Review – Been There, Done That
Salt and Sacrifice mixes in a lot of standard RPG ideas with its interesting art style to deliver a worthy, if overly familiar experience to fans of challenging 2D action games.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising Review – The Rungs to Ascent
A prequel to the forthcoming Hundred Heroes, this action RPG/town-builder is an enjoyable yet fairly basic experience.
Rogue Legacy 2 Review – Return of the King
Cellar Door Games' eagerly awaited rogue-lite follow-up is even more addictive than the original, and easily it's best yet.
Teardown Review – A Solid Foundation
Using real-time physics and problem solving proves to be a winning combination for teardown despite its bag of tricks being a little shallow.

Back to the drawing board.

This new flavor of Final Fantasy is mostly created with borrowed ideas, but still implements them well enough to be genuinely fun and addicting most of the time.
