WOFF Dispatch: Religion in Games

Episode  |  March 27th, 2025  |  1 hr 33 mins

Why? This is the question of religion. Also, how, what, huh, whazzat and bwuh? But how do video games handle these questions religiously? Join us, as we explore this mystery.

WOFF 471 Preview: Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven

Episode  |  March 20th, 2025  |  1 hr 11 mins

It's not quite a blobber and it's quite an Ultima, so what is it? Might and Magic is a huge series and number 6 is a strange entry. You can recruit townspeople, tanks are pointless, and there are dungeons scattered about the map like litter. Join us, won't you?

470: INDIKA

Episode  |  March 13th, 2025  |  2 hrs 35 secs

What do video games and religion have in common? The points don't matter! INDIKA is a walking-sim adjacent indie adventure game that is largely a vehicle for philosophical debates. You might think that sounds a little pretentious, but the writing is actually stellar and we encourage everyone to check this out.

469: Hammerfight

Episode  |  March 6th, 2025  |  1 hr 13 mins

Have you ever wonder what it would be like to be a pilot who also had to juggle? That's the kind of hard hitting question Hammerfight tries to answer.

WOFF Dispatch: Oops! All Questions 6

Episode  |  February 27th, 2025  |  1 hr 42 mins

I know we ask for the asks, but the asks just don't stop coming.

WOFF 468 Preview: Skald: Against the Black Priory

Episode  |  February 20th, 2025  |  41 mins

Skald - n. a composer and reciter of poems honoring heroes and their deeds. While you can't recruit a Skald in your party, oddly, you can hone and craft a party of heroes in this updated retro-style Blobber. It wants to introduce you to a genre that's generally unfriendly to newcomers.

467: Tenchu Stealth Assassins

Episode  |  February 13th, 2025  |  1 hr 22 mins

Stealth games! We've been trying to figure out how to make games anti-action for a long time, and before we ever got to Sekiro, we had a little game called Tenchu Stealth Assassins. My, how the genre has evolved.

466: Bandersnatch

Episode  |  February 6th, 2025  |  1 hr 37 mins

How can a movie also be a game? The sci-fi anthology series Black Mirror tries to answer that with the experimental Bandersnatch, which weirdly feels archaic in many ways even as it tries to break storytelling boundaries. There is some neat stuff in here, but does it add up to anything more than cheap twists?

WOFF Dispatch: The Evolution of Boss Fights

Episode  |  January 30th, 2025  |  1 hr 46 mins

Boss Fights! Who needs them? Not us. But the video game industrial complex sure seems addicted to them.

WOFF 465 Preview: Super Mario 64

Episode  |  January 23rd, 2025  |  51 mins

Genre defining, boundary pushing, console selling; Super Mario 64 had it all. One of the defining games of the Nintendo 64 and of the early 3D era left a huge legacy behind, but we can only really talk about it in full if we go back to where it all began. There's a letter, a girl, and a promise of cake. This is definitely not a trap.

464: Tactical Breach Wizards

Episode  |  January 16th, 2025  |  2 hrs 15 mins

Do Wizards make good cops? Well, "good" cops. How about, would Wizards be efficient cops? That's the question XCOM-inspired Tactical Breach Wizards aims to answer. They can arrest people with magic! Too bad the criminals have magic too.
