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: Cladun X3 (Nintendo Switch)

Cladun X3 is another 16-bit dungeon crawler that provides all the dungeon running, monster destroying, gold grabbing, level grinding goodness you would expect, but there is much more. And the “more” will either make or break the game for you.

Review: Dragon Ruins (Nintendo Switch)

So, you say you like an old-school dungeon crawl? We have just the thing for you…especially if, like myself, your school is so old that its hallways were single-bit.

Review: Power Sink (Nintendo Switch)

It’s time to take a stroll around Davy Jones’s locker room (his actual locker is way deeper than you want to go). The title here tells you the basics; you sink and then restore power. Simple, really, but far from easy…and that’s where the fun begins.

Review: Trident’s Tale (Nintendo Switch)

Tall ship; check. Bandana; check. Big earring; check. Drive to seek treasure; check. Shiny sword; check. It’s all here—you must be a pirate. There are sword-wielding skeletons to destroy, so you’ll be having too much fun to really worry about much else in Trident’s Tale.

Review: Skies Above (Nintendo Switch)

The premise of Skies Above is rather interesting; Leviathan wants to leave your world, but it needs help getting through all the feisty (and surprisingly damaging) flying orbs. This is where you come in, hero.

Review: Rogue Waters (Nintendo Switch)

Our game of the day is Rogue Waters, a pirate themed rogue-lite adventure with sailing ships, cannonfire, and cutlasses a-plenty. There are some interesting differences between other roguelites and this game, but enough to help it stand out?

Review: Dead Dragons (Nintendo Switch)

Dead Dragons aren’t dead. This isn’t really a spoiler because you find out the dragons aren’t dead in about the first two minutes. Besides, the whole point of the game is what you do about the dragons still running amok.

Review: Dreamless (Nintendo Switch)

Our game today is called Dreamless, and it’s a quaint, little entry in the horror genre. I progressed through the game not with a sense of engagement, but with the vain hope it would get better. It didn’t.

Review: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind (Nintendo Switch)

Even though I was disinclined to watch the ‘90s TV show, I have a more favorable opinion of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind…and “rewind” is definitely what we get.

Review: Billy Bumbum: A Cheeky Puzzler (Nintendo Switch)

For those who are young (or very young at heart), the humor of Billy Bumbum: A Cheeky Puzzler will be well appreciated. The game may rely on poo-gas to propel our hero like a little square rocket, but the puzzles are actually pretty good.

Review: Jello (Nintendo Switch)

Jello is a 2D platformer with a time feature. You don’t have a time limit, per-se, but the faster you finish a level, the better you score. There is also a community leaderboard you can use to compete with other players for points and bragging rights.

Review: Morbid: The Lords of Ire (Nintendo Switch)

Even if you have not experienced the preceding title, you can probably guess by Morbid: The Lords of Ire’s title that this one is going to be a bit on the gruesome side and not suitable for the younger gamers (rated M for a reason).

Review: Wrath: Aeon of Ruin (Nintendo Switch)

Wrath: Aeon of Ruin is a nifty little throwback to some of the early, really good first-person shooters. For those who don’t need a Wayback machine, this game has more than just a little bit in common with Doom and Quake.
