Ahead of the digital wide release by @AmataGamesEN we take a look at Cat Hui Trading's (@kakikukecat) Changeable Guardian Estique. Is EXMaster the "God of Game"? Let's go with Mary, Kanon, and Estique to see how he does. https://t.co/O1pEGBueza

@morikem04 Definitely. And hopefully one day you'll be able to release Blue Sabers: Early Mission

Journey into the Neruo Tower. Baroque....shooting? This is a weird one. A specialty of GBlak. Take a look at this short but meaningful run.

There are no good endings in Devil Engine. That won't stop GBlak from overcoming the arduous challenge this game presents. From the Complete Edition, ride with him as he comments through a 1CC playthrough of the original version

Rayforce is a well covered and respect game in the STG community. EXMaster takes a stab at Tatio's arcade classic with RVA-818 XLAY, and put his wits against Con-Human. New feature with full commentary.
