Review: Adventure Time: Explore The Dungeon Because I DON'T KNOW (3DS)

Review by Matt S. 

Wayforward is usually reliable. Even when it's building licensed titles it's usually reliable (Thor on the DS is a truly great brawler). And while Wayforward is well known for its platformers, it has proven that it does understand dungeon crawlers with the excellent Silent Hill: Book of Memories on the PlayStation Vita.

So sorry, Wayforward, you've got no excuse for how truly bad Adventure Time is. I went into this expecting a decent dungeon crawler. Instead I got a game that redefines just how cynical licensed cash grabs are.

Review: DuckTales Remastered (Wii U)

Wayforward has an interesting track record. When the developer is working on a passion project, it is unbelievably good. When the team cares about the material they drip their hearts and souls into creating gorgeous, personality-filled animation and characters, and classic 2D level design.

The other half of Wayforward's business model is licensed titles and while in fairness Wayforward's licensed titles are better than the efforts of many others, the less said about these games the better.

So it's just as well that DuckTales is a game Wayforward cared about. Amongst all the platformers I've played in my life, it's difficult to think of a game that has more character and personality than this one.

Review: Shantae (3DS)

Shantae has a legend almost as powerful as the 1001 Arabian Nights that it draws inspiration from. The Game Boy Color game went through all kinds of development and then publisher hell and in the end the publisher, Capcom, was only able to shift copies to retailers by forcing them to take them when buying Resident Evil games. Or so the story goes.
