InSomnia is a “brutal dieselpunk” RPG heavily inspired by the original Fallout games and Wasteland 2. It takes cues from other RPG’s and more modern gaming, but if you didn’t know better you’d think you were playing Fallout 4 as designed by its original developers,…
Don’t get me wrong: I’m all for creativity and that Nintendo should expand upon my favorite franchises. However, a big part of how they were able to bring the video game market back from the dead after the Crash of 1983 was savvy marketing and quality…
I covered Niten roughly a week ago, lauding the stellar visuals but also criticizing the lack of story info provided on the Kickstarter page. Since then, creator Donald Macdonald has been beefing up his campaign with a text-based adventure which ties into the gameplay;…
