We’ve got ourselves a full truckload of games to discuss on this episode of SML, so buckle up and let’s go!

The show kicks off with the PartyCast lineup of Cole, Tim Ekkebus, Chris Taylor, and Pernell Vaughan all joining to chat about rare video game acquisitions and free game stories, as well as some regrets like selling Tim a super rare game for super cheap, but I don’t wanna talk about that. We also use clips of Pernell’s voice despite him being there. Plus reviews!

Tim tests his sanity with the action-RPG soulslike Mortal Shell from Cold Symmetry & Playstack. Chris tells the tale of the loveable, cat eared Annika and her grand quest in Giraffe and Annika from atelier mimina, NIS America, and Playism. Pernell talks about the gorgeous 2d action adventure RPG Phoenotopia: Awakening, from Cape Cosmic.

Chris reviews the legit-retro top down shmup Arkagis Revolution from Broke Studio & Mega Cat Studio. Cole revisits Grpyhon Knight Epic: Definitive Edition, the repackaged and enhanced version of the side scrolling shmup adventure from Cyber Rhino Studios. Chris talks Kawidan ~Azuma manor story~, a 3D horror point and click adventure from DICO, Gudouan, and Rainy Frog.

Pernell gives the final verdict on Dungeon Scavenger, the old school dungeon crawler we discussed in Episode 608 from Vidama Software. Chris takes a look at Gladiator Guild Manager: Prologue, a battle sim on Kickstarter through September 11th from Entertainment Forge & GrabTheGames. Finally, Jacob Garner joins with his son Sam to discuss LEGO City Undercover from TT Games & WB Games as well as another look at Wide Awake Pip on iOS & Android from Coral Reef IO.

We end the show with another track from the electronic music maestro bLiNd!
