Nikke: Goddess of Victory - Gun wielding Waifu vs Anime Terminators

Goddess of Victory: Nikke is a third-person sci-fi themed railgun style shooter game developed by Shift Up and is published by Level Infinite. The game was released globally for Android and iOS in 2022 and currently has a PC version available. The game is also part dating sim, character/waifu collector with some JRPG style elements attached. Nikke is also a gacha game with over thirty different female characters to collect and combined to make your Ultimate 5 girl Nikke team.

I like to point out that this review is based on experience I had with the PC version of Nikke Goddess of Victory that I am currently playing so it may differ from the reviews on the Android and iOS version. Also this is mostly a first impression review since I have only been playing this game for roughly 6 days or so.

Genshin Impact - The tale of the Traveler and the Emergency Food

It was released for Android, iOS, PlayStation 4, and Windows in 2020, on PlayStation 5 in 2021, and is set for release on Nintendo Switch. The game features an anime style open world environment and an action-based battle system sing elemental magic and character-switching.

Genshin Impact is free to play with a gacha system and is expanded regularly. I have only played this game recently so I am probably a little late to get into this review. I’ll try not to spoil anything on this review for thoise  who haven’t played it yet while trying to be as in depth into the review as possible. Still minor spoilers just in case.

Arknights - the Anime Waifu Collector Tower Defense Game

Arknights is Yostar Limited mobile game company jab at the Tower defense genre But it takes it on its own route by adding its own touch. For those unfamiliar with Yoster Limited they are the company who are responsible for game Azur Lane back in 2018. Developed by Studio Montagne and Hypergryph under the Yostar game brand, Aknight was first released back in May 2019 but was met with positive feedback that it was launch globally by January 2020.

I'm not a fan of Tower Defense game but I am a big fan of Azur Lane so I decided to finally cave in and gave Arknight a chance. Although admittedly I'm not a hardcore player of Arknights I do enjoy how they handled the whole Tower Defense game and gave it their own twist.

Geekatana Review - Final Fantasy VII - Spiky hair mercenary joins Eco Warriors

Final Fantasy VII is a role playing game developed by Square for the playstation console. It started development back in 1994 and was originally planned to be released SNES. Its the first final fantasy title to use full motion 3D graphics. It marked the return of the series creator and producer Hironobu Sakaguchi, director Yoshinori Kitase and the composer Nobuo Uematsu.

Final Fantasy VII is certainly not the first JRPG I played for the PS1 but it is definitely one of the first Final Fantasy game in the series that I actually played since I got a playstation console. This review will have nothing to do with the Remake of said game as I feel that deserve its own separate review. Also minor spoilers are up for this one just in case.

Geekatana Game Review - KOF All Star - KOF Nostalgia in Android Game form

The King of Fighters All Star is a beat 'em up role-playing game developed by Netmarble Games and published by SNK for the iOS and Android. It was released first in Japan back in July 26, 2018. The english version was released in English regions on October 22, 2019.

I'm a fan of KOF but didn't play this game on its release date since I was having issues with the control mechanics of KOF as a whole. Thankfully this was all put to rest when I finally tried my hands on the game a few weeks later. Anyways enough about that and lets all just dive into this review.

Azur lane - Honor, Loyalty and Anthropomorphic Ship Girls

The game is said to rank just below fate Stay and kancolle franchises. Im no fan of ship girls and I'd admit it took me a while to finally got around to playing the game. Also I know this is greatly compared to kancolle but for this review I won't be making any comparison to it since it feels like a disrespect to both franchises.

Xenosaga Episode III: Also Sprach Zarathustra is a role-playing video game developed by Monolith Soft and published by Namco Bandai Games for the PlayStation 2 in 2006.

The game was originally intended to be a six game long story arc but due to the lukewarm reception of the previous game a lot of changes had to be made and this game become the final entry in the Xenosaga. But is the game as bad as they claim though. Also minor spoilers.

Being a fan of Xenogears for the ps 1 I immediately got a copy of this game the moment it hit game shelves back in 2003. Xenosaga franchise was originally planned to be a 6 part episode game series with each Episode focusing on one or two of its main characters.

It was produced by Cavia Inc (Computer Amusement Visualizer)known for their works on Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles, Fate/Unlimited Codes, Drakengard and the Neir series.

The game went under the radar for a lot of reason and one being it was released the same year Resident Evil 4, Shadow of the Colossus, Soul Caliber III and God of War was released for the playstation2 console. I for one haven't even known the game existed myself until recently.

I've played both the previous Wild Arms games in the PS1 to some extent so when I learned they released Wild Arms 3 for the PS2 I knew I had to get it and it's one of the first PS2 games I bought for the PS2. Also spoiler flag is up just in case.

Shadow Chun li kicks nostalgia feel into SFV AE

Anybody who has played Marvel vs Capcom: Clash of Heroes will remember the infamous Shadow Chun li or known to some folks as simply Shadow lady character. Basically a dark color swap of Chun li for the MvC game which is as OP as Cyber Akuma of the same title.

Started out as somewhat as a hidden character Sub boss Shadow Chun li character has appeared in other MvC titles but I'm sure a lot of folks didn't expect to see the character make the jump to Street Fighter V Arcade Edition around last week.

Way of the Samurai 2 - A Samurai X type game that isn't Samurai X

Way of the Samurai 2 is the second game in the franchise and was also released in October 2003 for the PS2 more than a year after the first game hit shelves way back in February 2002. Now published by Capcom taking the reins from its previous publisher Eidos Interactive.

Sadly with a ton of great games for the ps2 this game went under the radar for a lot of folks but still got enough of a following on its own. Even I admit that it took me a while before I discovered this game was even available for the playstation 2.

Need for Speed Heat Trailer - Faster Cars and Angrier Cops

The trailer of Need for Speed Heat has just dropped and its looking very promising. From the combined creative minds of EA and Ghost Games comes the latest addition to the ever expanding NFS game lineup. This is just a trailer analysis however and the final game might be totally different.

If there's anything that Batman Arkham and the new Sony Spider-man showed us is that everyone loves a good superhero game. But why hasn't been there been a good superhero game about Suprman, the first superhero that started it all?

Answers will vary depending on who you ask. But then comes a game like Undefeated. An open world game greatly inspired by the Man of Steel and surprisingly blew nearly everyone's expectations away.

Street Fighter V AE - Season 4 DLC Character Breakdown

If you have been keeping up with the Street Fighter V updates than you probably already have known about the upcoming characters they just dropped recently for Street Fighter V Season 4.

I've decided to breakdown all of the characters from what we know about them so far from the pros and cons in term of their fighting style, special moves and fighting styles. take note that these moves can be change and alter before the final release so please take everything with a grain of salt just to be safe.

Geekatana Game Review: Chaos Legion

Chaos Legion is a hack and slash game developed and published by Capcom. It was first released about a month after Devil May Cry 2 back in 2003 with DMC seeing its debut in January and Chaos legion being released in March of that same year. With DMC 2 taking up the hype back then Chaos Legion didn't get enough hype to be its own thing.

Folks also saw Chaos Legion as Capcom's way of trying to duplicate the success of Devil May Cry and milking the concept dry. It had garnered mix reviews as well. But is the game really as bad as they say it is? So I eventually got a copy of the game recently and see what's the fuzz is really about.

Geekatana Game Review: Contra: Shattered Soldier

I'm a big Contra fan ever since playing the first game back on the family com many years back. Although the game kicked my butt more times than I can count it's still a game  I go back to time and again with my friends simply of how fun and frustrating it was. it's one of those rare games that you tend to both love and hate at the same time.

So when I find out that a Contra game named Contra Shattered Soldier was on the playstation 2 I knew I have to play it even I know as heck it's probably going to be hard as heck.
