In this week’s episode of The TouchArcade Show, we talk about the site’s closure and what that will mean moving forward. We plan to still do this here podcast, but there are a few logistical things to figure out first. Most likely we will be pivoting to have our Patreon be the new home of the podcast, so be sure to at least join up as a free member over on our Patreon so that...
For our last full controller review on TouchArcade, I’ve been using the Victrix Pro BFG Tekken 8 Rage Art Edition for PC and PlayStation across my Steam Deck, PS5, and PS4 Pro for over a month now. Before I interviewed PDP Victrix about the controller and arcade sticks, I was very curious about the controller for its modular nature and also because I’ve wanted to try out another “Pro” controller after adoring the Xbox Elite...
New indie Metroidvanias and Soulslikes seem to pop up every few days, but few have made such a good first impression as Mandragora. Primal Game Studio hasn’t shied away from highlighting the similarities of its new game to recent winners such as No Rest for the Wicked, and that may be its bigger marketing strength. Knights Peak (publisher) isn’t beating around the bush either: If you enjoy side-scrolling combat with gorgeously stylized 3D visuals, Mandragora...
Atlus is clearly on to a winner with Metaphor: ReFantazio, as the game is now the developer’s fastest selling game ever. We obviously know Atlus is going to keep milking the Persona series, with new numbered entries, re-releases, and spin-offs, but considering how well the completely new Metaphor: ReFantazio is doing, I imagine we’ll be seeing a lot more of that world too. Atlus shared earlier this week that the game had surpassed a...
The Witcher, a series famously known for its use of violence and the like, is getting an all-ages graphic novel, because it’s never too early to start them on the hunt. If you ask me, The Witcher isn’t the first series I would jump to if I were looking to make a kid-friendly comic book, but it’s clearly a decision someone has made because that’s exactly what happened. The Little Witcher (I see what...
If you think you’re in love with Astarion, think again, as one Baldur’s Gate 3 fan apparently spent $20,000 on a sex doll. We all have wants, right? Maybe some of those wants are needs, even! So please try to refrain from judging the person that spent more money in one go than most of us could ever dream of on a sex doll of Astarion from Baldur’s Gate 3. Now, we’re jumping...
Discord is obviously the de facto service to use for gamers that want to talk with their friends, and as it turned out, its origin story is quite similar in nature. There are undoubtedly countless Final Fantasy 14 Discord servers out there for all manner of reasons, whether that be for specific game servers or more private reasons. And as it turns out, the co-founder of Discord Stanislav Vishnevskiy isn’t all that different from...
Toei Animation announced today that One Piece is taking a break from the Egghead Arc until next year, but you’ll still have some anime to keep you going. It’s rare that the One Piece anime takes a particularly long break, but after a long uninterrupted stretch of episodes, it’s finally taking one. As announced by Toei Animation earlier today, the anime is on break until April 2025, a full half a year, and during...
Image: Blizzard With the release of Vessel of Hatred, Diablo IV has seen its most significant changes since its original launch in June 2023. Adding a completely new region, Nahantu, along with a wealth of added characters and modes and a brand-new story, the expansion pack is the very definition of a game changer. But it goes even further than that, bringing in entirely new ways to upgrade items, a revamp of the World Tiers,...
Screenshot: Blizzard / Kotaku It’s time, once again, for The Wanderer to suit up and go dungeon crawling. This time, in the new Vessel of Hatred expansion for Diablo IV, you’re in pursuit of poor, tormented Neyrelle in the Hate-ridden lands of Nahantu. Much as I’d like to tell you that there’s a nice handy little pamphlet titled, “So, You Just Sent An Innocent One-Armed Girl Into The Heart Of A Jungle Full Of Demons,”...
