YS VIII: LACRIMOSA OF DANA Review!

Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA marks Falcom’s triumphant JRPG return to the world of Ys! Follow fan-fave Adol through a mysterious island littered with monsters, loot, and a mystery involving a beautiful maiden that invades his dreams. Grab your rusty sword, don your armor, and dive headlong into fast-action and exploration-heavy adventure!

Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA is both the eighth title in the main Ys series, and developer Nihon Falcom‘s first numbered title in the series in eight years. Featuring smooth action combat, collectibles, crafting, and an adventurous story, fans and newcomers have plenty of reasons to give Ys‘s freshman entry on the PS4a try, especially if you’ve finished Tales of Berseria, and need another action JRPG fix.

Falcom has a real winner here, so check out my full review for more details and screenshots at KeenGamer.com!

BUTCHER Review! (PS4/PC)

In case you missed it, here’s my review on the BUTCHER game, currently on sale for 30% off on PSN from 8/1/17-8/15/17!

BUTCHER is a 2D love letter to 90’s low-res blood-splattered gameplay. DOOM-like textures? Check. Chainsaws and shotguns? Check. Hardcore difficulty to melt your face off? CHECK (this game out!)

BUTCHER, from Transhuman Designs (the folks who made the 2D building sidescroller King Arthur’s Gold,) is a fun romp through the guts of your human enemies the likes of which we have never seen . . . since 1995.

Inspired by the Id classics Quake and Doom, and taking gameplay cues from the Apogee classic Duke Nukem and Super Meat Boy, BUTCHER throws the player into the role of a lone cyborg charged with eliminating the last stubborn remnants of humankind.

Grab your keyboard/mouse or gamepad (make sure they’re indestructible), and jump on the incredibly tough carnage-train to extinction town!
