Damn, this looks cool Neptune, Have Mercyhas a lot going for it. This is an “action exploration roguelike” set not in a fantasy world full of dungeons, but underwater on Neptune’s largest moon. Players control a customizable submarine with a claw arm and plenty of firepower to take on alien creatures. And, my goodness, what a sensational aesthetic. The developers describe the Kickstarter project as a blend of things I adore — “games likeInsanely Twisted Shadow Planet, andFTL : Faster Than Light, and films like John Carpenter’sThe Thingand James Cameron’sThe Abyss....

It’s strangely addicting Sometimes you stumble upon some amazing unassuming browser games likeFrog Fractions, andCookie Clickeris no exception. Essentially, all you have to do is click a giant cookie to make more cookies, and use your currency to buy helpful upgrades (like Portals to the Cookieverse) and builders (like extra Grandmas). It adds a small strategic element to trying to get to the endgame, as you can choose to build more automatic cookie creators and just leave the game on, or upgrade your actual clicking ability and do it yourself — or a combination of both!...

‘Localization?’ jests the monsters at Square Enix Foolishly, one of the bigger reasons I wanted to pick up a 3DS was for the remake of a Gameboy Color favorite,Dragon Warrior Monsters(Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry’s Wonderlandin Japan).
