Davis from Denkiphile: "With few Japanese titles on the PC market, Japan-centric gamers must hold onto PC releases dearly regardless of technical mishaps. As a result, weve had both a shortage of Japan developed PC titles and a massive influx of ports lately that have missed their mark. With several titles on Steam recently, Idea Factory is definitely part of this trend. With their latest title, Fairy Fencer F, which was originally published by NIS America several years ago, the company continues its onslaught on PC gamers. Worry not, though, members of the master race, this is a quality port."

Travis Bruno of Capsule Computers writes: "Except for a few exceptions, first person dungeon crawlers nearly faded from existence in the West. However in recent years with the rise of indie developers and the popularity of the genre growing, more Japanese dungeon crawlers have begun to make their way overseas. With numerous titles proving that there is still life left in such games, NIS America has localized Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy. Developed by the same staff that worked on Demon Gaze, is this title worth picking up?"

Alastair at GameSpew writes "Galak-Z: The Dimensional is a 2D shooter combining frantic dogfighting action with strategy and guile. Heavily inspired by Japanese anime sci-fi, its a slick, creative experience that rewards intelligent gamers who know when to fire their blasters and when to run. Styled like a TV series, Galak-Z plays out over five seasons, each with five individual episodes. Currently, there are only four seasons available; the fifth is scheduled to be released at a later date. You take on the role of A-Tak, rookie pilot of the nimble ship Galak-Z. The story is suitably epic: as mankinds last remaining hope, its up to you to defeat the evil imperial empire and save the world. This game makes no secret of being a love letter to classic anime; your ship even transforms (complete with that awesome transformer sound) into a giant sword-swinging mech. The vivid cell-shaded cartoon visuals are excellent, and combined with an original soundtrack featuring pulses of el...
