From the article: "SlasherJPC is not usually a hard guy to please. His love of games covers a wide variety of game genres, and he’s one of the few people out there who can find a speck of good in games that otherwise might be intolerable to the average gamer. But even SlasherJPC has his limits, and as you’ll see below, both Dementium 2 and The Guided Fate Paradox have crushed his once cheery spirit."
Sony announced the April PlayStation Plus lineup for Japan which includes The Guided Fate Paradox from Nippon Ichi Software. This roguelike is a spiritual sequel to Z.H.P. Unlosing Ranger Vs. Darkdeath Evilman and prequel to The Awakened Fate Ultimatum which came out in North America recently.
The Bundle Stars are back with the FPS Bulletproof Bundle. This gets you SickBrick, Dead Effect, Dementium II HD, Ubersoldier II, Fancy Skulls, NecroVision and NecroVision Lost Company, Parkan II, Heavy Fire: Afghanistan, Axis Game factory’s AGFPRO v2, and AGFPRO’s drone kombat DLC.
Digitally Downloaded writes: "What is appealing about the roguelike is that on a very fundamental level, from the very building blocks of the sub-genre's creation, it is absurdism in motion. And, just like absurdism in theatre, literature, and the other arts, through its repetitive mechanical structure it tells us a lot about the human condition because it is so damned addictive."
