Michelle Turner and Hollie Pattison of Ripstone Games return to SML to chat Chess Ultra!

Before the awesome gals at Ripstone join the party, we’ve got some reviews to tackle and we kick things off with Pernell Vaughan joining to cover a very diverse lineup starting off with Porno Studio Tycoon, a stats management heavy simulation game (yes, seriously) from Zitrix Megalomedia. Farming Simulator 18 is the latest in the long running hardcore farming sim seriesfrom Giants Software and Focus Home Interactive.

CRYPTARK from Alientrap is a 2D sci-fi shooter where you board deadly alien space-hulks for the government which is a noticeable change from porn and farming. Tom Miller joins to review Serious Sam’s Bogus Detour from Crackshell, Croteam, and Devolver Digital, a top down twin stick take on Sam with full game mods and editors. Finally, Chris Taylor reviews GOD WARS Future Past, a fantastic and stylish tactical RPG from Kadokawa Games and NIS America.

After a quick break, Michelle and Hollie join the fun to talk about Ripstone’s latest release, Chess Ultra! We talk about this being Ripstone’s first title developed in house, working with Chess Grandmasters for AI development, how bad they are at streaming Chess on the Ripstone Twitch channel, and tons more. Ripstone always brings the crazy and SML is happy to return the favor!
