I can’t claim to be intimately familiar with Record of Lodoss War, but then, it’s a little scarce in the West. It started out as a “replay” of a group’s Dungeons and Dragons campaign, then spun out in about a m...

As a huge Castlevania: Symphony of the Night fan, I feel honor bound to check out Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth. It has looked fantastic in Early Access, but you know me, I like to wait. Now's the time to strike as Team ...

Nintendo Switch fans who are craving something a little... out-there will want to set aside time next month for Gnosia, a "social deduction" sci-fi RPG with an unmistakable visual-novel style. After reports of a late February launch, Playis...

As the gray hairs have slowly replaced the brown ones on my temples, I've become quite fond of shorter games. I don't mind diving into something meaty that takes me two weeks or more to complete, but with the color of my hair reminding me o...

The New Game+ Expo may not have had all the titles fans were anticipating, especially if you're a fan of Sega and Atlus, but that doesn't mean it wasn't worth a watch. In fact, sitting through the whole presentation, I discovered a game I'...

With no E3 this year, the gaming community has had to make do with a hodgepodge of different streams, surprise reveals, and sudden announcements that have kept the writing staff of Destructoid on its toes. Some shows have been worth the wai...

The summer of gaming streams is going full steam as we head toward the back half of June. There are still many big presentations to come, including shows from Ubisoft, EA, CD Projekt Red, and more. Of course, the one I'm most looking forwar...

With E3 calling in sick for 2020, developers and publishers around the world are scrambling to find ways to get the word out about their upcoming games. Some, like Ubisoft, are prepping their own individual events. Others, like Nintendo, se...

In today's contest we're giving away copies of slick FPS Bright Memory! Ever now and again a game comes along where even I, a jaded old dork stuck in his ways, can't help but step back and say, "Damn." Bright Memory is one of those times. I...

Publisher Active Gaming Media has announced that La-Mulana 2 will be hitting Japanese consoles (PS4, Xbox One, and Switch) on June 27, 2019. The digital release will cost 2,980 yen, while a physical release for PS4 and Switch will run you 3...

Whenever a popular game gets adapted into an anime series, the presumption is that the anime is intended for folks who can't be bothered to play the game. That's been less the case in recent years with adaptations that cater directly to exi...

Astebreed is a fantastic bullet hell game that originally launched on PC and eventually made its way onto PlayStation 4 too. Last week, it was quietly released on the Switch eShop without much marketing or fanfare. After spending some time ...

While we already knew about La-Mulana 2's jump to Xbox One, publisher Playism, and developer Nigoro have announced that the soul-crushing Metroidvania will be heading to the PS4 and Switch next Spring alongside Microsoft's machine. I can't ...

While watching one of the Indiana Jones films, have you ever stopped to think how unlikely it is that Indy succeeds all the time? What are the chances he knows exactly which items to use in remote locations around the world at the exact rig...

Everything about La-Mulana and its sequel is cryptic. This unintuitive, tough-as-hell, completely unforgiving action adventure series is renowned for the way it terrorizes players with death after death. That cryptic nature appare...

When we received a code to review La-Mulana 2, I was simultaneously excited and frightened. I greatly enjoyed the first game, but La-Mulana isn’t what I’d call intuitive. The original basically simulates what it would be like to...

La-Mulana 2 is coming very soon, so developer Nigoro is going to be holding a live stream straight from Akihabara, Japan to celebrate the occasion. The entire development team behind the sequel will be present and ready to discuss anything ...

It has been a couple of months since we last heard anything about La-Mulana 2. The kickstarted sequel to the original cult hit was given the vague release date of "this summer." Now, out of the blue, developer Nigoro has posted a Steam comm...

Nigoro's ruins-exploring adventure La-Mulana 2 is gearing up for a summer release on PC and Mac. It's been, what, a few years since we last covered the game? I had forgotten it was on the way! Nigoro and Playism ran a successful Kickstarter...
