Posted on 3 years ago by Dawn in News | 0 comments
The annual Atlus survey is now live until May 15, inviting North American residents to share their opinion on Atlus developed and published games. Whilst the website states that the survey is for North American residents only it is accessible for everyone, and only requires an e-mail address to access to ensure multiple responses from the same person aren’t submitted, so fans in other parts of the world are able to participate if this wish.
Atlus have released a short video to promote the survey (see below) and you can access the website here. The survey contains 49 questions, and includes questions about titles released on the Switch, and what platform players would like to see future titles in series such as Persona, Shin Megami Tensei, and Etrian Odyssey appear on, as well as potential remakes and ports of existing titles such as Odin Sphere Leifthrasir and Dragon’s Crown Pro.
Will you be participating in the survey this year?

[Review] 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim
Posted on 3 years ago by Nicholas Serpa in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: April 12, 2022
Developer: Vanillaware
Publisher: Atlus
If any game is a shining example of the artistic potential of video games as a medium, I cannot think of a better recent example than 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. It is that rare type of narrative-driven experience that could only really exist as a game: a sprawling science-fiction epic with no less than 13 playable protagonists, that somehow manages to be both a beautiful side-scrolling adventure and a deep, exhilarating real-time strategy game. With so many moving pieces and a lengthy 40-hour runtime, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim could have very easily been a confusing, unfocused mess of a game, but somehow, all of these disparate elements fuse into nothing less than a masterpiece.
