About David Temple

I started covering games for iOS in 2013, and made the Switch to Nintendo (you see what I did there) in 2019. I enjoy tabletop, mobile, and console gaming—just about anything which can provide a little diversion, a brain teaser, or an adventure. A little play every day can be good for you. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Review: No Place for Bravery (Nintendo Switch)

No Place for Bravery may not get a perfect score for originality, but a large portion of what it does is done well. Some things, however, didn’t leave me with the most positive impression.

Welcome to the adventure puzzle game Lamplight City. We don’t know the population of this Victorian-era town with a steampunk vibe, but we do know some of the residents are definitely up to something.

Review: Defend the Rook (Nintendo Switch)

Another game, another chance to ask “Who’s the tank?” Defend the Rook looks like a mélange of game types—a scoop of rogue-like, a handful of tower defense, a dash of RPG, and there you have it. It’s also quite good.

Review: Aztech Forgotten Gods (Nintendo Switch)

When first checking out Aztech Forgotten Gods, I was pleased to see the theme centered on a version of the Aztec empire which didn’t involve certain foreigners coming in and wrecking up the joint. I’m sorry to say, however, that this review is not a happy one.

Review: Castle Morihisa (Nintendo Switch)

Castle Morihisa is a rogue-like-card/deck-building-turn-based game. We’ve seen this sort of thing before, but while many elements will look familiar, the game’s depiction and characterization of feudal Japan make it something interesting all on its own.

Review: Guild of Ascension (Nintendo Switch)

Welcome to the Tower, brave adventurer. It’s your happy task to ascend the Tower and claim all the rewards which await you. Guild of Ascension combines turn-based RPG and rogue-lite elements with (if we’re being completely honest) a lightweight story element.
