Checking out Vampunks, a cyberpunk role-playing game about vampire hunters, and also like computers and stuff I guess. Check it out yourself at https://alexander-eden.itch.io/vampunks

Princess Pillowfighter

Medieval (fantasy)
Self Published
2015
Complexity: 2

Well, I’m still in a princess mood, so let’s look at another princess-themed game. Princess Pillowfighter is… pretty much exactly what it sounds like, a game in which princesses resolve issues with one another, often by pillow fighting. Is it more than that? Maybe, but it is most certainly that thing.

Slasher Flick

Join me in checking out Slasher Flick from Spectrum games, possibly the first tabletop RPG to accurately emulate the slasher genre.

Frogger

Modern [fan game]
Self Published
2006
Complexity: 1

So I decided to cover another video game-based game, one that seems to be from the same 24-hour RPG challenge as the DDR one. Now you may assume that this is a game based on the 1981 arcade game Frogger, and that’s a pretty fair assumption to make. It is called Frogger, and uses themes from the game Frogger--plus I already reviewed a game based on Dance Dance Revolution, so it’s not like that would be outside the realm of things that exist--but it is actually a game which uses Frogger as a metaphor.

Cosmic Pilgrims

Far Future (space)
Mutant Chiron Games
2018
Complexity: 2

Hey there, do you like high-concept games? How about a game of space-trotting philosophers? Well that’s what you’ll get with Cosmic Pilgrims. It’s definitely odd, but odd in a different way from a lot of the other games I’ve reviewed.
