Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life review

System: Switch
Release date: June 27, 2023
Developer: Marvelous
Publisher: XSEED / Marvelous


Story of Seasons has had a series of ups and downs as the franchise has tried to find its footing in a genre it once had a monopoly on. It’s true that each new title has offered an exciting prospect of things to come within the series itself. It’s also always seemed to go against the idea of being a market leader once more in favor of keeping things traditional, but much that stubborn thinking may be to its detriment. This rears its head in the series’ new remake, Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life.

XSEED Games and Marvelous today announced the English release date for Akiba’s Trip: Undead & Undressed Director’s Cut. Fans in the west will be able to get their hands on the game starting August 1, 2023.

Akiba’s Trip: Undead & Undressed Director’s Cut previously came to Japan this past April. While we heard about a summer release window for the west, this is the first time we’ve been given a concrete release date.

I’ve said in prior publications that the concept of time travel is a fascinating yet very sensitive one, as the topic tends to lend itself to narratives that ultimately have no idea how to go about ending a topic that can take myriad of forms and paths, leaving a story open-ended and potentially with too many plot holes because of a traditionally endless structure. Even with limitless routes comes limitations, however, Loop8: Summer of Gods, despite all its positives, is yet another victim of a time loop sci-fi snafu that has its heart in the right place, but any potential excellence in a different timeline.

Trinity Trigger review

System: Switch
Release date: April 25, 2023
Developer: FuRyu
Publisher: Marvelous / XSEED


Trinity Trigger is set in a world caught in an ongoing war between Order and Chaos, each with a chosen champion fated to fight one another to the death to choose a victor. Generally, one of the chosen ones is assassinated before the duel can begin, resulting in zero changes for the world as a whole, but a pretty grim fate for our protagonist who just so happens to be the Champion of Chaos. Opening up, the plotline of the game seems to thrust a very heavy burden on the player, but will it deliver on its hefty narrative, or will Trinity Trigger be just another hack-and-slash action RPG that falls to the wayside?
