Super Combo CastSuper Combo Cast #51 - DemonschoolOn this month’s podcast we talk about Demonschool, the tactical combat and persona-like RPG set at a gangster, demon and zombie beset college on a mysterious island. We loved the characters, world, and aesthetic with its Sega Saturn leanings, but had serious concerns about the tactical battle system, mini-games and progression systems. If you loved this one, let us know! We want to hear about how it clicked for you. Toben has a companion review in writing to go with our discussion and you can check out the liner notes here. This is a public ep...

Super Combo CastSuper Combo Cast #50 - Baldur's Gate 3This month’s podcast was all about Baldur’s Gate 3. We’ve played this one a while, and will keep playing it and discussion was mostly around how this landmark RPG release effects the sort of landscape of RPGs, in relation to BG3’s expansive nature. We also discuss how it manages to adapt DnD, of course, as well as who this game is for, and possibly, gasp, who it might not be for.Check out the liner notes for links and resources discussed in the episode, as well as the usual ephemera. Next month (February...

Super Combo CastSuper Combo Cast #49 - EarthionThis month was Earthion, from Yuzo Koshiro and Ancient. This is a modern-developed 16 bit game, particularly for the Sega Genesis (releasing next year on that platform, but here and now on Steam, Xbox, PS5, Switch, etc.).We talk a bit about Yuzo Koshiro’s legacy and a long career in making games, what the genre has meant to us and our experience with it, this being our first sidescrolling shoot em’ up, as well as the mechanics and systems that work well here to respect the player’s time and also introduce a more modern audience a kind o...

Super Combo CastSuper Combo Cast #48 - TransistorThis month’s podcast was on Super Giant Games’ Transistor. The developers, of Hades I and II fame most recently, released Transistor, their second game, in 2014 to acclaim and general contentment from critics and fans. The game is also often cited as a fan-favorite. But unfortunately, we had some issues playing through it in 2025. Maybe we’ve been been too taken or used to the mechanics and the feel of Hades, maybe it wasn’t the ideal time to play through a second effort from a studio that now relies on a early access refinement model to tune their games (a...

Super Combo CastSuper Combo Cast #47 - AbsolumThis month’s podcast (for October) was Absolum, a roguelike beat ‘em up from the modern day masters at DotEmu (and other partners). We talk about the fantasy influences, genre and roguelike touchstones with Hades, Streets of Rage 4, and others, as well as how multiplayer and the layers of systems work and are woven together. It seems like the developer’s catalog, known largely for some licensed beat em’ up games before this (beloved games all), really leaned into more systems and mechanical complexity for Absolum, which is wholly their own. Check out the liner notes for the usua...

Super Combo CastSuper Combo Cast #45 - Baldur's Gate: Dark AllianceThis month’s game of the month (September) was Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance. This game was the console ARPG (along with its sequels and in-engine-siblings) that blazed the trail for Blizzard to eventually release Diablo III on consoles (to great success). And also a kind of inciting event for the fact that we now can play Diablo and other ARPGs portably on Switch and Steam Deck (on controllers) and the like, which is awesome.The first in this duology on the sixth generation consoles (appearing on PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube) and GBA in de-made (but still comp...

Super Combo CastSuper Combo Cast #44 - Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible LairThis month (August) was Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair, another link moving along in our Donkey Kong Country and Returns/Tropical Freeze lineage; we’ve been trying to see where this rabbit hole ends (as of 2025). In the end, this one was disappointing for a few reasons, but has a lot of promise, especially if you appreciate the collectable structure of the game (which requires with its gating, often for us, at least, that you spend time grinding for the game’s currencies). We discuss the 2.5d “unity” feel of the game, the various gating and currency systems, the leve...

Super Combo CastSuper Combo Cast #43 - Yoshi's Island (SMW2/Advance)This month (July) was Yoshi’s Island. The SNES/GBA original (GBA we’re counting as a port rather than a massive update or remaster, although the liner notes will have more information on that). You may also know it as Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island, or, Yoshi’s Island: Super Mario Advance 3. Regardless, if you aren’t familiar or don’t remember, it’s the one where Yoshi-family must safely transport a baby Mario across a dangerous landscape. You can shoot eggs, collect keys and other currencies/collectables are more prevalent here than previously in Mario (good fo...

Super Combo CastSuper Combo Cast #42 - Metaphor ReFantazioLast month (June) we discussed Metaphor ReFantazio, the fantasy RPG from the Atlus and the producers/developers of Persona. We talked about the time management systems, combat mechanics, social links or bonds with party members (an import from Persona), as well as the political perspective the game adopts (considering it is a game where narratively and in some ways mechanically you mount a political campaign). We also consider how this RPG branch or perspective differs in respect to the see anything do anything or Bethesda school of RPG design (Fallout 3, 4, New Vegas, Morrowind, Skyrim, Starfield). We have a lot...

Super Combo CastSuper Combo Cast #41 - The Legend of Zelda: The Wind WakerThis month, May’s podcast, was on The Legend of Zelda (TLoZ): The Wind Waker. This game originally came out in 2003, believe it or not (on the Gamecube). While the version we played, largely faithful as it is, was remastered for the Wii U in 2014. Depending on when you read these words the easiest way to play Wind Waker today is likely either on the Nintendo Switch Online (Gamecube emulation) with your Nintendo Switch 2, or as the case today, via emulation with Cemu (Wii U emulator) or Dolphin (Gamecube/Wii emulator). One of the least modernly available Nintendo games, bu...

Super Combo CastSuper Combo Cast #40 - Halo InfiniteThis month (April) was Halo Infinite, a game in a series we had a lot to talk about. The open world and other elements felt divisive for us, and mainly, in a way, somewhat ironically (given its name), but also in terms of the development of the game and its road map, fittingly empty. There just wasn’t as much to do that was meaningful as we had hoped there would be. Balance issues also seemed to abound in terms of how the narrative wants you to feel about the Chief and his abilities, versus the game sc...

Super Combo CastSuper Combo Cast #39 - Pokémon BlackThis month’s (March) podcast was on Pokémon Black, part one of the DS odd duck in the Pokémon family: it has a direct sequel (which we didn’t play this month, but may get to later)! There are some interesting growing pains to observe in this game — it having 3D elements that might not stand the test of time (in 2025) being on the DS, it having an entirely new for-the-time roster of Pokémon without the old standbys, thirty-somethings are nostalgic for, etc. We definitely have a lot of friction with this one, but I think also allo...

You have cards with abilities and units, various effects are enacted, you place units in the way of an enemy deck and their units which try to get to the top floor to take out your pyre/engine.In this one we discuss our experience building decks and secondary champions, trying out the various combinations, how this game stacks up to others we’ve play...

Super Combo CastSuper Combo Cast #37 - Path of Exile 2This month (January’s) game was Path of Exile 2. Our conversation settled in on the genre conventions this game embraces, extends, and avoids (in relation to something like Diablo II or even Dark Souls type experiences), as well as how it works in a visceral way to convey what’s happening when the player provides input (how enemies react to your abilities, staggering, etc.). We talk about early access in relation to this game and others, what it takes to know a game like this well, the rabbit hole being truly deep if you want it to be, its live...

Super Combo CastSuper Combo Cast #36 - Stardew ValleyIn our last cast of 2024 we discussed Stardew Valley. Our conversation included all the ways to play (multiplayer, defined or undefined roles, etc.), our histories with the game personally, comparison to Harvest Moon, systems complexity and gener consideration, roleplaying by your own moral compass, as well as who Stardew Valley is for in 2024 (and then into 2025). In the liner notes, we highlight the interesting variations on play that many streamers and let’s players have done with Stardew. There are people playing for the social interactions (interacting with the town’s inhabitants), min/maxing their farm, roleplaying one...

Super Combo CastSuper Combo Cast #35 - Sonic ManiaThis month, November, we’re discussing Sonic Mania, the lost link in 2D Sonic games released in 2017 (now for all modern platforms). This game is a kind of modern version of a theoretical Saturn Sonic game that we all would have appreciated, but did not receive from Sega circa 1995. As is our custom we discuss our personal history with the series, the specific parts we like about being the blue blur (and assorted friends), as well as that killer soundtrack. Momentum (mechanically and in terms of pace of the game/difficulty) are discussed, as well as Mania’s integration (such...

It ran from October 14th - 21st, and our conversation follows what we tried (games we both played and less often not), as well as how they made an impression on us, the mix of genres or influences we see in each one, what worked for us and didn’t, etc. Check out the liner notes for a link to each game.Stay tuned in November for Sonic Origins and Sonic Mania, which is part of our...

Super Combo CastSuper Combo Cast #32 - Marvel's Midnight SunsLast month (August in this case), was Marvel’s Midnight Suns. Discussion centered around Marvel as a property in games, the way the characters are representative of their comic counterparts or not (how Blade’s abilities or character translates into the Suns systems and others, for example), as well as the mix of heroes and pace of the game (upgrading decks was a bit slow in our opinion). Also we talked about the Persona social sim of it all (more than you might think) and the deck-building as a way to dole out character upgrades and abilities/moves and expa...

Super Combo CastSuper Combo Cast # 31 - DKC Tropical FreezeThis month (July) we took a look at Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze on the Wii U and Nintendo Switch as a last look at one of our favorite series that we ultimately liked a lot better on the SNES. The conversation is mostly a continuation of a previous episode, and a bit of a rehash, considering our opinion of the “modern” Donkey Kong Country games hasn’t changed all that much in light of the latest entry (check out the DKC Returns cast here to catch up on that if you like). But we did give it a s...

Super Combo CastSuper Combo Cast #29 - Resident Evil 2 RemakeThis month (in May) we took a look at Resident Evil 2 Remake. The first in the line of modern remakes of the older games (including 3, and later on 4), this game transposes the original overhead/isometric perspective of the 1998 original game for the over-the-shoulder more modern perspective and control scheme that was originally adopted in RE4.We talk about the origins of the series and where RE2: Remake fits, as well as the puzzle-box component and its limitations and strengths as a piece of fiction, or a kind of escape-room conceit that RE2: Remake allows and how it...

As a 3DS game on an “officially” dead platform (one getting lots of headlines for preservation efforts made by the community to get it back online recently), as well as the game acknowledged widely to be the first in the “modern” Fire Emblem era and a last chance for Fire Emblem in the west (if not successful we may not have gotten more games here), this one is very interesting.We talk about how to play this game given that the 3DS isn’t so easy to find on the second...

Super Combo CastSuper Combo Cast #27- Unicorn OverlordThis month (March) was Unicorn Overlord. Turn-based (in the way it plays out on screen), but a kind of real-time strategy style in terms of how your units act on their own (after you set their behavior and kit them out), this one was an interesting grab bag of RPG influences blended into a surprisingly appealing slurry (visuals of that process aside). UO owes in part its mechanical flavor, approach to narrative, and UI design to Ogre Battle and Fire Emblem, as well as other popular and less popular RPGs across the canon (like the Sega Saturn’s Dragonforce se...

Super Combo CastSuper Combo Cast #26 - Harvest MoonOn this month’s podcast (February) and backlog foray we shovel our way through Harvest Moon. Its legacy is of the farm simulator that planted the pixel-art seeds of farm management and buying the affections of others with gifts in the hearts of many a 90’s gamer. In particular, those seeds blossomed and inspired a rush of modern farm sims, not least of which is Eric Barone’s Stardew Valley, which shares a number of deliberate similarities to Harvest Moon. In our opinion improving on nearly all aspects of its inspiration (except oddly enough in the area of character animat...

Super Combo CastSuper Combo Cast #25 - FirewatchThis month (January) was Camp Santo’s Firewatch an indie darling from 2016, arriving last on Nintendo Switch in 2018. You are Henry, a man fleeing a sense of fatalism and helplessness related to your wife’s deteroriating medical condition to go to the Wyoming wilderness and watch out for fires. In the process, through the unfolding mysteries of the area you’re responsible for and your relationship with the dispatcher, Deliliah, you find out some things about yourself. The game is beautiful and cinematically framed and paced (each day has meaningful events, less of the mundane), with the intrigue and myster...

Super Combo CastSuper Combo Cast #24 - The Banner Saga TrilogyThis podcast, our last of 2024, was about The Banner Saga Trilogy. In the spirit of our enduring preference for turn-based strategy games, we compared this one to Fire Emblem when it seemed like a good idea or was relevant, but Banner Saga is so much its own mix of genres and influences that it wasn’t always useful to compare across the other things we’ve played. Check out the liner notes, with further information and cool links, as usual, here. The thread of our conversation, after a while, seemed to settle in on the ways in whic...

Super Combo CastSuper Combo Cast # 23 - Guardian HeroesThis month (November) was Guardian Heroes on the Sega Saturn and Xbox 360 (XBLA). You can catch this one on the Xbox Series X/S using backward compatibility if you wanted to pick up an high definition (or higher definition) copy today. Otherwise, consider emulation a viable option. The conversation this time centered on the interesting connections that Treasure makes with Guardian Heroes to other genres of game (including, surprisingly, the branching narrative paths of Banner Saga). Part fighting game, sidescrolling brawler, arcade/home hybrid, and something of a dead or dying breed (what with arcade-first “big budget” game...

It was fun to imagine what that future could have been. Check out our liner notes with the usual links and extras here.

Super Combo CastSuper Combo Cast #21 - Donkey Kong Country ReturnsThis month (September) was Donkey Kong Country Returns (DKCR). Apologies for the late release. We had some thoughts about DKCR! The changes to Rare’s SNES formula and the new “feel” for a lack of other terms in the Wii/3DS versions made the early game and then perceived higher challenge level later on, harder to push through for us. Momentum and the feel of controlling Donkey Kong and Diddy are a bit different if you are someone who grew up on the original DKC series, but if DKCR was your first game, it also checks all the sa...

Super Combo CastSuper Combo Cast #20 - Kingdom Hearts Final MixThis month’s podcast (August), was Kingdom Hearts Final Mix. This one was divisive in that my approach and experience as a new player wasn’t as favourable as Toben’s as a longtime fan of the series. But really, that makes sense. Kingdom Hearts was a particular flavour of RPG back in the day on the PS2 and I can see its strengths clearly enough after spending some hours with it. But boy does it play like a game of its time (which, on reflection, I haven’t really played a lot of from that era). It’s interestin...

Super Combo CastSuper Combo Cast #19 - Shovel KnightThis month (last), was Shovel Knight, the beloved old-school platforming game from Yacht Club Games. We talked about the references and nostalgia factor, the game’s difficulty and boss/character design, upgrading, and whether or not platforming game literacy is necessary for this one (where it might fit for new-to-the-genre players and old hats). Check out the liner notes here for the usual assortment of links and interesting tidbits. Consensus is that we enjoyed it a lot, and that Shovel Knight has a ton of replayability and just a wealth of content (a treasure trove ev...

Our conversation this time was relatively short and straight-forward. It’s a classic arcade genre, polished to a sheen, with procedurally generated rooms, and enough upgrade pathing and choice between levels to keep things interesting. The sprite art and music are fantastic. Also it’s available on so many platforms, which we talk about - in physical and digital editions (for emulators and more modern consoles and PC), which is great.

An interesting month because we both had issues with the game’s pacing or, for lack of better terminology, its tuning, which felt a bit too hostile to first-time players or styles of play that don’t fit the scenarios it presents. The game felt like a puzzle box situation in that each scenario had “one” or “a couple” solutions, but didn’t allow Fire Emblem style grinding or roleplaying. And also that the units are disposable and...

Super Combo CastSuper Combo Cast #15 - Goof TroopThis month (March) was Goof Troop, developed by Capcom, notably one of Shinji Mikami’s first games as a designer (later of Resident Evil fame). Released in 1993, this actually came out before Disney’s Aladdin for the SNES. But we think they were probably developed alongside one another; common sound effects and graphics across both releases seem to indicate shared DNA at least. Goof Trip is an interesting coop puzzle-room/adventure game. Max and Goofy are slightly different characters to control, doing different amounts of damge to enemies and differing in movement speed, and working together with your...

I had thought of this as a kind of straightforward adaptation of Gears with healthy doses of XCOM thrown in, incorporating the environment and visual design of Gears of War with mechanics like active reloading, reviving downed allies, over watch etc. Having now played a few hours of XCOM 2, a game in the longtime series of turn based tactics games, I appreciate now more than ever the fluid animation and production value on display in Gears Tactics; there’s al...

This game is an old school in style (but not in substance) beat em’ up, providing a tidy hit of nostalgia and modern upgrades to the SNES era Turtles in Time arcade beat em’ up formula. Developed by Tribute Games and DotEmu this game is perfect if you have a few friends that want to have some laughs and fun with that beat em’ up genre, but aren’t necessarily looking to memorize advanced movesets (but if you turn up the difficulty be ready).

We discussed the game’s accessibility, its gating of areas and fit to the Metroidvania genre, its RPG-like (or light) levelling systems for character and weapons, as well as incredible density of writing and so many tightly orchestrated delivery systems for narrative.

Wir sprechen daher mit unserem Gast Alex über die dortigen Ereignisse , den US-Wahlkampf sowie über (strukturellen) Rassismus. Anschließend widmen wir uns dem Thema Motivation und fragen uns, was uns motiviert, sei es im Alltag oder in Anbetracht unserer Ziele oder Wünsche.
