MARCH 2021 COMMUNITY PLAYTHROUGH
We begin our 7th season of the Playcast with a RPG with one of the worst covers in video gaming history,
Eternal Eyes for the PS1. Though this game is not one of the more well-known among Sony's fantastic RPG library, the guys hope to once again strike gold like they did years ago with
Vandal Hearts.
Eternal Eyes is a tactical, Pokémon-like RPG where all of your units, except the hero, are monstrous minions brought under your command by magic jewels. You play as Luke, a descendant of the Crimson Eyed tribe who years ago locked away Luna, the Goddess of Destruction. However, a new group of followers of the goddess have released her after years of slumber, it's up to you, your friends, and your "pets" to save the world. Are you up to the challenge?
If you're playing these
Eternal Eyes titles along with us in March, be sure to join our forum
HERE to discuss the game with fellow site members.

MARCH 2021 SHMUP PLAYTHROUGH
When shooting games started out in the late 1970's, everything was done by small teams, engineering solutions, designing arcade hardware, and coming up with fun game concepts that were easy to pick up and play, but hard to master. As the 1980's shifted from arcades to home consoles and the market diverged, game design teams grew in size, and games became more complex. With the advent of more powerful arcade hardware and consoles in the 1990's, shooting games became even more complicated, with high production values, and involved scoring systems. Fast forward 25 or 30 years, and shooting games have shifted again, back to smaller design teams, and small indie studios, but often retain higher production values due to more readily available tools for small developers to see their visions come to life. That brings us to game developer Lori Branford, and the recently released, indie shoot-em-up,
Demonizer, which takes cues from many 90's shooters, but has a decidedly old-school look and feel.
The exiled princess Amelia has turned into a succubus and joined the peaceful monstergirl tribe. Then invaders arrive led by her sister Angelina. Fighting back with her newfound powers of hypnosis and demonization she departs to take on the kingdom in a desperate bid to save her new people.
Demonizer is available on Steam, as well as on Itch.io as a DRM-free release, and there are versions for Windows, MacOS, Linux, and even Android. Join the RF Generation Shmup Club in March 2021, as we take on humanity in
Demonizer!
