Monster Monpiece Review

Monster Monpiece… The game’s name may not ring any bells, but there’s a good chance you’ve heard of it. Remember that crazy Japanese game where players wank their Vitas to scantily-clad girls? Yeah, this is that game. I never imagined it would get an English localization, but sure enough, it did. It’s rare to see games like this get localized, so I figured I’d give it a shot. I couldn’t wait to get my hands, quite literally, on the game. Does the game have any depth? Or is it just eye candy with no other redeeming features? Is it really that awkward to play in public? These are the burning questions I had before going into the game. Let’s see how they turned out.

Atelier Totori: The Adventurer of Arland Plus Review

This review won’t contain anything particularly mind blowing, because this game is pretty simple to talk about. Atelier Totori is primarily a game of crafting and time management with a side of RPG battles. The characters are extremely typical of anything Japanese, and the game gives off a vibe of a slice-of-life anime. It can be fun for the very niche crowd, but I feel that the majority of people who play this game will probably drop it. It’s a game with some very interesting mechanics and plenty of endearing characters, but the gameplay itself is, quite simply, a bore. Let’s talk about the strong points first though.
