Frontier Gate Boost+ is a turn-based questing RPG by Konami. It seems to be aimed at gamers who find the idea of Monster Hunter interesting but are too intimidated to actually play it. The idea was good so I don’t want to come down too hard on them, but making it turn-based makes Frontier Gate […]
Territoire demo – Not my cup of tea

Yeeeahhh, I kinda underestimated Idea Factory’s readiness to ruin a good story. Kasuga x Aki really seemed like a match made in heaven to me. The ordinary blacksmith girl and the ordinary […]
