+10 XP: Cobalt Core
The DaDa Network
Join hosts Caligula Q. Strawman and K-Slick as they review Cobalt Core, a roguelike deck buidling adventure! Cobalt Core was developed by Rocket Rat Games, and published by Brace Yourself Games. It was released on the Nintendo Switch, as well as Windows, on November 8th, 2023. In this cute, yet cerebral, sci fi card game you'll select three out of eight possible crew members, board one of several ships, and battle your way out of a time loop. Battles take place on a single axis, with the player playing cards to move the ship, apply shields, or fire cannons among other things. The gang praised...

It was released on September 19th 2023 for the Xbox Series X/S, Windos, macOS, Playstation 5, and some last gen stuff. We praised almost everything about this game with the standouts being setting, music, and gameplay. We both recommend this game, would play as sequel, and would purchase DLC for it. It owns, dude. We gave it a final score of 7.4 and declared it the heir to the Soulslike Throne.

Steaming Garbage: Shadow Warrior 3
The DaDa Network
We are back and playing to our strengths, which means we are playing total garbage! This game sucks, it's really very terrible and the people who like it are worse. I'll stand by that. I would be ashamed to have my name attached to this game, as a matter of fact, I am ashamed that we even did a show on this game. Miserable, mierable stuff. Shadow Warrior 3 marks a return of the Shadow Warrior franchise. It was unleashed on poor unsuspecting game enjoyers and hack reviewers on March 1st, 2022. It is "playable" on the XBox One, XBox Series X/S, Playstation 4 and 5, and Microsoft Windows...
info_outlineIn the icy froth of the turbulent Atlantic juts a jagged mass, a great thrust upon which the frigid waves may crash. Many a lord hath bade their heaving tribes to hollow the rock of this place, to stack and mortar it into walls and walkways. Towers and parapets. Law and order.
"Once a King lived there," they would say, "then he died and the new King of all kingdoms was crowned. That's when the ravens moved in. They had the run of the place for centuries– until recently, when something… else… ran them out."
Strange eminations pulse from out the cracks in the castle stone, vibrations of an inhuman sort. They reach their tendrils far before scattering diffuse into æther. To invade. The feed. Our thoughts.
Now a strange new game is on the market, born of the void inside those castle walls. It's causing chaos in the streets, tearing friendships apart, and disrupting communities worldwide, yet this game offers naught but exalted escape. Beautiful nostalgia. Instant digital bliss.
What could be wrong with that?
No one would speak of these terrors, not one soul anywhere on Earth (unbelievable, right?), until Dada hit the scene. Caligula and Alchemia– having tasted the wares of the abyss– square up against Miss Ellanea and Vi, academic witches who have not dabbled in the dark depths firsthand. Join us dear listener as we discuss the ethics and emotions around Hogwarts Legacy.
