On January 2, 2020January 2, 2020 By IndieRetroNews

Written by Alfred n the Fettuc At last, I have vanquished Ween! It took me long enough, not because it’s a particularly long game but especially because I have had a few extremely busy months, and very little time to play or write about it. I apologize for my fellow […]

Written by Alfred n the Fettuc Last time we left our friends WEEN, PETROY and the two stupid twins, we were on a beach near Volcano Island which seemed like the final step of our journey. For memory serves, the twins had been robbed of the haversack containing our inventory […]

Ween : The Prophecy – Small worms and giant mushrooms

On December 4, 2019 By IndieRetroNews

Written by Alfred n the Fettuc NB : Thanks to Laukku to have pointed out about the pixel smoothening filter Boxer was using. I removed it so the screenshots should look better this week. Last week we had put our hands on the second grain of sand. We stopped after […]

On November 24, 2019November 24, 2019 By IndieRetroNews

Written by Alfred n the Fettuc Once again, I apologize to our fellow readers for the very (very) long time between my posts and the short lengths of my gaming sessions but I was drowning in a huge quantity of work these last months. Hopefully, it should get better soon […]

Curse of Enchantia – In the nose of madness

On May 3, 2019May 3, 2019 By IndieRetroNews

Written by Alfred n the Fettuc Just when I thought this game couldn’t get any weirder, it throws you a curveball and creates the most mindf..king world I’ve seen in a long time. Let’s just say this part of the game would make the island of fairy tales in King’s […]

On April 25, 2019April 25, 2019 By IndieRetroNews

Written by Alfred n the Fettuc We should really make a list of the seven cardinal sins of adventure game design someday (even if the list would probably be closer to seventy) but I’m pretty sure two sins would make the list pretty easily. You should never make a puzzle […]

Curse of Enchantia – 20000 Leagues Under Quality Game Design

On March 29, 2019March 29, 2019 By IndieRetroNews

Written by Alfred n the Fettuc One of the greatest things about The Adventure Gamer blog is that we have the opportunity to find out exactly how good the games we didn’t play back in the day actually are. Sure, it’s always great to read more about Indiana Jones and […]
