If there is one thing I’ve learned from my stint with SoulCalibur VI, it’s that people are really really into the character creation system. And who’s to blame them–you have to love any game that will let you match up Yoko Taro’s 2B from NieR: Automata and Bojack Horseman from the excellent Netflix special. However, a couple of customs

Disgaea: Hour of Darkness released over 15 years ago on PlayStation 2, and now players who haven’t experienced the cult-classic strategy role-playing game’s origin title can go back and check it out for themselves on Nintendo Switch and PS4 with Disgaea 1 Complete. I’ve had minimal experience with the series myself, only playing 2015’s Disgaea 5: Alliance

Emotion, expression, and feeling aren’t particularly the main points of focus when we talk about video games. Maybe a well-produced and motion captured cutscene produced tears, a tense multiplayer round without respawning caused sweaty palms gripping the controller, or an NPC or announcer made a quip that earned a chuckle. When I played Wandersong, I

Nintendo has often been called “out of touch” when it comes to their online strategy, but I tend to use the less reductive term “idiosyncratic,” or perhaps even “incoherent.” It isn’t new for the company to be practicing with “Nintendo-like solutions” rather than industry standards but in this day and age, their online infrastructure with

There’s no denying in my mind that MOBA’s, or multiplayer online battle arenas, brought competitive eSports into the general public’s eye. Now, Nintendo Switch is seeing the first title in the genre, Arena of Valor, make its way onto the platform. With some minor tweaks to controls, Arena of Valor is ideal on the Nintendo Switch when compared to

I still remember my brother waking me up one morning in eighth grade because he was super excited to show me something: a reveal trailer for a new Pokémon game. Since our hearts were captured by Pokémon Sapphire and Emerald, my brother and I had followed each new entry as it came out in Japan

Whether you’re a fan of mechanical keyboards or not, Razer’s BlackWidow Elite stands as a complete keyboard option for people who just like fancy lights or people who need the “military-grade” aluminum because they know they’ll put it through its paces. It’s hard to call something “beautiful” that just makes incessant clicky-clack noises all day,

After other studios have been nailing it out of the park with remasters, I’ve been surprised by Konami’s restraint. While they could easily aim at a Metal Gear Solid, Castlevania, or Silent Hill remaster collection, their latest project strays from the banner series’ of their collection. Instead, Konami and Cygames decided to dip into a fan-favorite: Zone of the Enders: The

Horror-centric multiplayer games have been commonplace for awhile now. From older games like Left 4 Dead (which somehow is turning a decade old this year) to more recent entries like Dead by Daylight and Friday the 13th: The Game, the horror space has had some standout entries over the years that pit normal characters against those of monsters or slashers

Recently, seven relevant developers including Danganronpa and Zero Escape creators Kazutaka Kodaka and Kotaro Uchikoshi formed a new studio named Too Kyo Games. DualShockers met with them both, alongside with Composer Masafumi Takada, and we had an extensive conversation about the studio and its future projects Giuseppe: You left Spike Chunsoft to create your own
