With plentiful bonuses to unlock and challenges to complete, there’s more than enough here to pack in several hours of family-friendly fun with a side of educational value for the youngsters.

It adds focus to the core gameplay that just wasn’t found in Destiny beforehand. From vastly improved mission structure to challenges that feel worthwhile, it is a huge testament to what a bit of time can accomplish for a new IP.

There’s certainly a lack of polish to it, but with the right competition and some practice, it could be worth it for those interested in quick, easy arcade-style play.

Sadly, the title sometimes seems to crumble under itself. There is really no excuse for a game of this size to suffer from framerate issues and problems with the core mechanics, and these complications ultimately bring the game down.

The series is over a decade old now, but you’ll find that the story and dialogue are still as witty and charming as ever.

Rollers of the Realm gets points for its unique play style and responsive, approachable play. It’s definitely not an easily mastered mix of genres, but it’s well-done enough that it takes more skill and concentration than it does luck.

With its one-of-a-kind art and play, BasketBelle creates a fantastical, strange, and touching story. While it’s very short, taking under an hour from start to finish, the $4.99 price on Steam and Desura includes the game, soundtrack, digital sketchbook, and a making-of featurette by developer Bean.

Littlewitch Romanesque is a pretty solid visual novel. It can be easily praised for its art and its gameplay, but the lack of a manual isn’t overcome by the in-game tutorials. Yet the game is fun and easy to learn, making it a probably “cult” classic among the JRPG crowd.

Ultimately, Instant Dungeon! feels like a game that would benefit from more gameplay variation. I was disappointed as it became apparent that the characters were essentially just ‘skins’, but there’s so little to the overall mechanics of the game that I’m not even sure what could be made unique about them. The good news is, though, that what’s there is pretty enjoyable for what it is.

Where Dungeonmans falls short is in a lack of polish or detail to its various facets. Play is stiff, and the controls aren’t particularly intuitive or easy to master for more skill-heavy characters such as Wizardmans. It almost feels like the design is a part of the joke, but I’m not entirely sure
