Legend of Grimrock: Exactly What It Says on the Tin

Posted by Rampant Coyote on April 12, 2012

The indie RPG Legend of Grimrock was released yesterday, and I pretty much took night off to play it. I don’t really do reviews here, but I do like to offer my “quick take,” especially when it has to do with indie adventure games and RPGs that I get a chance to play. And after […]

A Sirius Game

Posted by Rampant Coyote on January 30, 2012

I wanted to do this last week, but with crunch-mode in full swing and some other high-stress demands on my time, I’m lucky to not have had to put the blog on hiatus. Anyway, for now, I wanted to point out a little action / adventure game “with RPG elements” released by a friend of […]

Considering the fact that hours into the alpha I still hadn’t gone past the fifth level or so (and that […]

Indie RPGs: One Goodbye, One Hello

Posted by Rampant Coyote on August 26, 2011

Jason Compton recently made it official and announced that he has canceled The Broken Hourglass as a commercial product. I’d heard this off-the-record about a year ago, and by this point most people following the game expected as much. It’s been a long time with little to no updates.

Reading the Magical Diary

Posted by Rampant Coyote on July 8, 2011

Last weekend, my family and I went to visit my in-laws. I brought my laptop. And a copy of Hanako Games’ new game, Magical Diary: Horse Hall. I spent an entire afternoon playing the game.  I don’t know why this surprised me – I really happily surrendered some “man points” and loved the Cute Knight […]

Quick Take: Sylia

Posted by Rampant Coyote on July 6, 2011

I think at this point it’s pretty safe to say that I’m a somewhat veteran, hardcore computer RPG fan.  Console RPGs, too, to a lesser degree.
