Lost Kingdoms (Preview)
6/19/2025
Back when Fromsoft used to experiment in the B-tier game mines, they made a bizarre Real Time card battle game. That game is Lost Kingdoms, and this is our Summer JRPG. Sometimes life takes you to unexpected places. Unlock the full episode at patreon.com/duckfeedtv

479: Command & Conquer: Yuri's Revenge
6/12/2025
In this spin-off of a spin-off, C&C assumes the Allies are victorious in C&C Red Alert 2, which is why Yuri is out for Revenge. Use your units and strategic wits to outsmart the enemy, and as a reward you will get to see some of the silliest cutscenes ever made.

478: The Last Door Season 2
6/5/2025
We found a few more doors to check. The Last Door returns with a few more episodes to show off it's unique lo-fi adventure game style. While we're still fans, the second game doesn't work for us quite as much as the first. Still lots of cool stuff to talk about though!

WOFF Dispatch: The Future of Resident Evil
5/29/2025

Duration:01:42:35
Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies (Preview)
5/22/2025
What if combat was less about hitting your opponent, and more about circling around them at very high speeds? Ace Combat 4 is one of the genre standards for the dog-fighting genre. There aren't that many games in there, so when people like one it generally stands out. But is there enough there to entertain the non-fan of the genre? And how did they manage to add an alternate reality plot to this?

476: Resident Evil 6 (Part 2)
5/15/2025
Time to join Chris, Sherry and Jake, and Ada, as they do the same shit Leon did last episode.
Duration:01:41:30
475: Resident Evil 6 (Part 1)
5/8/2025
How many zombies is too many zombies? Probably about one campaign of Resident Evil 6. Prepare to be worn down until you don't like this pretty good game with the sheer amount of content it offers.
Duration:02:17:00
474: Satisfactory
5/1/2025
Do you dare to feel satisfied? Build a dream factory on a mostly uninhabited alien planet. Build it again once you realize how much more efficientiely you could do it. This week we are joined by special guest Ben Merkel from the Level, since the game takes hundreds of hours to properly play. Rest up, Gary.

WOFF 473 Preview: The Suffering
4/17/2025
Way back when, when it felt like horror games were few and far between, we would settle for The Suffering. It's a real B-delivery of some A-level ideas. If you have nostalgia, it's justified, if you don't have nostalgia, wow what a weird game. Plus, there's a morality system based on how well you can not hit the NPCs.

472: Rygar
4/10/2025
He's not quite a knight, he's not quite a gladiator. He's just Rygar. And he's going to... defeat the Animalized Men Wriggling Eerily. Come join us in this proto-Metroidvania and we see what strange design decisions were made during the wild west era of early console gaming.
Duration:01:18:39
Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance (Rerun)
4/3/2025
No role-playing today, kids! Just time for that sweet tappa-tappa. Grind for gear, slay some jellied cubes, and enjoy killing some time in this Diablo-clone with a Dungeons and Dragons skin.
Duration:01:56:13
WOFF Dispatch: Religion in Games
3/27/2025

Upcoming Games: April: -Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance (Rerun) -Rygar -The Suffering May: -Satisfactory (Kole and Ben Merkle) -Resident Evil 6 (Two-parter) -Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies
Duration:01:33:56
WOFF 471 Preview: Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven
3/20/2025
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? Unlock the full episode at patreon.com/duckfeedtv
Duration:01:11:34
470: INDIKA
3/13/2025
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.
Duration:02:00:35
469: Hammerfight
3/6/2025
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.

2/20/2025
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. Full episode available exclusively to our patrons at patreon.com/duckfeedtv
