We’ve played plenty of games that are in love with hulking great kaiju. Rampage, Dawn of the Monsters and War of the Monsters spring immediately to mind. But Godzilla, Kong, Ultraman and the rest – at least to our memory – have never been airlifted into a turn-based strategy game. Which is a wonder, because

For nearly two decades, the Company of Heroes series has been defining what it means to be an action-packed real-time strategy game, covering multiple fronts of World War II and shining a light on the stories of the real people who lived and died throughout each conflict.

When Until the Last Plane appeared on my radar (see what I did there?), promising to bring World War II styled airbase management to console, I was pretty excited. You see, while we have seen no end of shoot ‘em up games set in this period, from the seminal 1942 forward, we’ve never seen a

It is finally here, the game I have waited what seems like a lifetime for – Alphadia Neo from KEMCO.  Normally I would bang on about how this is another retro-styled JRPG, from the kings of retro-styled JRPG’s and so on and so forth, but because of one little addition, this is now the greatest

We never doubted it for a second. It looked like December might pass by without a single EpiXR Games game – a Life of Fly, Murder Diaries or Paper Flight perhaps.
