Latest Reviews of FDG Entertainment Games
Mini Review Slayin 2 (Switch) - An Engaging Action-RPG Romp
The pain in Slayin falls mainly on the lanes
The original Slayin was a mobile marvel of simplicity; a lovely little bite-sized twitchy RPG-ish thing where you effectively just moved left and right putting holes in enemies and using their dropped loot to improve your stuff. It was a familiar rogue-lite approach that worked brilliantly for a few...
Review Venture Kid (Switch) - A Workmanlike And Forgettable Mega Man Clone
You're not gonna go far, kid

Horn of plenty?

Since that time it's enjoyed some success and made its way to other platforms, now including the Switch eShop; the question is whether the transition to dedicated...
Review Bobby Carrot Forever (WiiWare)
At last
Few titles have successfully combined the puzzler and adventure genres like Chip's Challenge and its ilk. Bobby Carrot Forever is one such derivative, removing the Sokoban-influenced box-pushing and building on a foundation of collectible items and manually-set traps. But is it good enough to make you hop or would Bobby have been better off...
