Kaiju Big Battel: Fighto Fantasy
Kaiju Big Battel: Fighto Fantasy is a charming and lighthearted throwback to JRPGs of the past, substituting swords and sorcery with the wonderful world of kaijus and wrestling. Kaiju Big Battel: Fighto Fantasy is a definite recommendation to any fans of the JRPG genre.
With eight distinct party members, tons of sidequests to do, many enemies and bosses to face and countless NPCs to talk to and plethora of puns, Kaiju Big Battel has a new surprise around every corner. Accompanying the gameplay is an absolutely bopping soundtrack, pleasant pixel graphics and a whimsical tone that really ties everything together. Talking to every NPC and inspecting every nook and cranny is rewarded with funny banter and the later areas in the game have some of the funniest sequences of any game I’ve played.

This is a great game. I honestly had no idea games were still being developed using the OHRRPGCengine. This is easily the most impressive I’ve seen and to my understanding also the first to ever get a commercial release. Finally, a complete game that shows off what that engine can do. Looks great, sounds great, and will satisfy those looking for a quirky SNES style RPG. I have a passing familiarity with the Kaiju Big Battel property and was concerned my limited exposure might hinder my experience. Luckily players need not know any lore to enjoy this wonderful game. Highly recommended.

Action Arcade Wrestling
This game has a place in the set of currently available wrestling video games out there, in part because it has a different combination of pros and cons.
Pros:
1. The creation suite is good, although you must post your wrestler online if you wish to use it.
2. The action is acceptable, and it comes nearer to an American style of fantasy wrestling than to a Japanese style.
3. You can play multiplayer, against the computer, or cpu versus cpu. The cpu is not perfect, but it is watchable and does not fall into the same routines that other games do. For instance, in WWE2k, you can tell what a cpu wrestler will do distinctly before it does it, and it looks the same every time. In Fire Pro, the cpu is more variable but most of the moves do not look awesome or powerful. This game falls somewhere between those two points: the moves look acceptable and are not as telegraphed.

So remember Wrestlefest? Think that game now with the ability to create wrestlers, arenas, federations, belts, etc. Also there’s the ability to download other people’s CAWs and Arenas which there’s already some awesome stuff available.
I’m honestly having a blast with this. Will leave a more in-depth review later, but just wanted to leave a positive review shortly after release in case people were on the fence about this one.
To quickly address some of the negative reviews bashing it for not being the same depth as Fire Pro……..This isn’t Fire Pro, nor was it meant to be as in-depth as it. The whole appeal of this game is that it’s a very simple, pick up and play, arcade style wrestling game. Anyone could pick it up and understand it very quickly. Great for playing with friends who don’t want to learn the way more in-depth controls that Fire Pro and WWE 2K have.
