Bonus Episode #61 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bryan enrolls at a secluded island university where cryptids, folklore, and tactical combat collide in Demonschool, the stylish RPG from developer Necrosoft Games. Drawing heavy inspiration from Italian horror cinema, Persona, and classic strategy RPGs like Fire Emblem, Demonschool blends a striking visual identity with an offbeat narrative centered on first-year student Faye and her classmates as they uncover the dark truths lurking beneath campus life. This Musical Review takes a deep dive into Demonschool's bold and groovy soundtrack, composed by Kurt Feldman. We explore how its pulsing synths, rhythms, and eerie tonal shifts reinforce the game's surreal atmosphere and emotional undercurrents, often doing more narrative work than dialogue ever could. Along the way, Bryan also discusses the game's grid-based combat, character-driven storytelling, and deliberate pacing, ultimately examining whether Demonschool managed to stand out in a crowded 2025 release for its commitment to its vision. Email the show at bgmaniapodcast@gmail.com with requests for upcoming episodes, questions, feedback, comments, concerns, or any other thoughts you'd like to share! Special thanks to our Executive Producers: Jexak, Xancu, Jeff, & Mike.

Happy New Year! And what better way to celebrate the dawn of a new future by opening up the floodgates to time that could have been? We've got a deep dive into the lost entry in the Duke Nukem franchise, Duke Nukem: D-Day, the canceled game that nearly was and never will be. Zoey becomes an interactive Duke-ipedia of information as we dig deep into the connective tissue of the games industry, bouncing like a pinball between Rockstar, Atari, Gearbox, 3D Realms, id Software and more. Later, Jonathan talks with game developer Lyn about her game Miskatonic before gushing about the latest Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave news and the ending of Hades 2 and what it means for the characters.0:00:00 - The Cold Clamed Curry Meat of Silent Hill0:06:43 - Suckin' That Soup0:08:04 - The Duke Nukem Report - Duke Nukem: D-Day0:19:30 - Divert to Castle Wolfenstein0:23:06 - Hungry for Masculinity0:26:22 - Reclaiming Duke Nukem By Any Means Necessary0:36:12 - Dabbling in Torment with Lyn1:12:06 - Did They Make Fire Emblem For Everyone?1:17:56 - Wrap Up/Plugs/Thanks Patrons!1:23:35 - Jonathan's Audio Drama1:24:33 - Organic Breast MilkFollow Lyn on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/lyn-aka-blpry.bsky.socialCheck out Lyn's Game Miskatonic, playable in browser or downloadable on Windows: https://jack-rockwood.itch.io/miskatonicZoey on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/adzuken.bsky.socialJonathan on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/tronknotts.bsky.socialThe podcast's Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ttwav.bsky.socialDaniel on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/douibyorthst.bsky.socialWritten articles at: https://maxutmost.com/Support Zoey's Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/adzukenSupport the Patreon to get episodes a few days early and also read the Maximum Utcomic! https://patreon.com/ttwav
Don't look at the calendar. Today we finally bring you the second part of our discussion on Smashterpiece #50, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance! Stop looking at it. There's lots of stuff in this game, there's swords, there's magic, there's uncomfortable conversations about racism and classism and how they shape the systems that build our societies, there's people who can turn into cats. The date doesn't matter, stop it. Ike's got a big sword that he swings around and that's pretty cool. I will take that calendar away I swear to god. Lethe is also very cute and I wish she'd disembowel me but we don't have to worry about that. Fine, it's been a full year, okay? Okay?? You happy now? Put the CALENDAR AWAY. YOU'RE RUINING THE HOLIDAYS.

On this week's Random Encounter, we have a remaster of one of the greatest strategy RPGs of all time!When Final Fantasy Tactics was released on the PSX in 1997, it marked the entry point for countless RPG fans into the world of SRPGs (aka TRPGs) By piggybacking off the success of the landmark JRPG Final Fantasy VII, Tactics introduced an entirely new audience to the grid-based strategy RPG goodness seen in previous SRPGs like Fire Emblem and Shining Force.Since then, Tactics has seen numerous re-releases, including Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions for the PSP and mobile devices that gave the game a much-improved localization. But now with Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, Square-Enix has released what is arguably the definitive version, now with sharper graphics, excellent quality-of-life features, and exceptional voice acting.Tactics also happens to be one of the favourite games of Jerry and Zach. Does this brand-new remaster live up to their high expectations?Featuring: Jono Logan, Jerry Williams, and Zach Wilkerson; Edited by Jono LoganGet in Touch:RPGFan.comRPGFan ShopEmail us: podcast@rpgfan.comTwitter: @rpgfancomBluesky: @rpgfan.bsky.socialInstagram: @rpgfancomThreads: @rpgfancomFacebook: rpgfancomTwitch: rpgfancomThis Episode's Related Links:Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles ReviewFinal Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions ReviewFinal Fantasy Tactics Review

But for those of you that have been waiting patiently for a FE episode, I think the wait was worth it, because I love this series and I'm ready to start handing out some flowers.The Blazing Blade was the first Fire Emblem game to find its way across the pond and onto the GBA, and while it may be a *little* archaic compared to modern titles like Three Houses, it's still as good as tactical RPGs get. You control an army of soldiers through various chapters like playing a digital board game, and with the permadeath options waiting for you to make a mistake and a decent story to drive the game forward, I'd argue this is the best bang for your GBA buck outside of Pokemon.Resident RPG nerd Keegs makes his return to the show this week and we spent over an hour working though Fire Emblem. We talked story while avoiding major plot points so you can play the game untarnished if you want to, take a dive into our favourite (and least favourite) party members, and basically just sing the praises of the Fire Emblem series as a whole. And before we blaze blades, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!This week we talk about what kind of console I'd design if I had infinite money. I get into some details on my upcoming Extra-Life charity stream. And where do I stand on using walkthroughs while playing games?Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too!

It's a real meaty Gamecast as we talk about Silksong, Borderlands 4, and Metal Gear Solid before we dive into the Nintendo Direct and all the new announcements we got. From Mario's 40th Anniversary to Jim finally losing a bet due to Metroid Prime 4 having a release date, to a new Fire Emblem fanning the flames of war for its fandom. #silksong #borderlands4 #mgs #nintendo #nintendodirect #mario #metroid #fireemblem #virtualboy #videogames
While there are fun things to talk about, like the Muppets returning, Nintendo directs, the 90s Console wars, and the new Anaconda. There are also not fun things, like Nintendo and Pokémon behind paywalls, HBO and passwords, and The Long Walk. And at the end, a serious discussion about a topic I try to stay away from, but luckily, that's at the end. Enjoy

Nintendo gave us a ONE HOUR LONG Nintendo Direct this past week and we're joined by YouTuber XanaGear & Dialogue Tree's Andrew Valentine (with a special pre-recorded Fire Emblem segment from Summer) to break down the divisive presentation including pricing controversies, Nintendo's odd release schedule, and what we think was missing in this JAM-PACKED episode. We also cover all the Nintendo and gaming news such as Nintendo's newest gameplay patent and its effect on PalWorld, the Switch 2 devkit situation, SEGA restarting the console wars and much more.

Nintendo surprised with an announcement of a 60-minute Nintendo Direct that happened on Friday, and boy did they have some things to announce, including the title of the next Mario Movie being Super Mario Galaxy, a new Fire Emblem game, the release date for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, and a heck of a lot more. Sean and Marc discuss their favorite things from the Big Direct. Was it Fire? Or was it a bit of a smokescreen? Also, Nintendo was awarded a patent in the United States for summoning a monster to battle for you and there's concern this could lead to more patenting of concepts in gaming, but will this be something Nintendo actually uses against other game developers to prevent their games from releasing? Plus, Sean played the demo of Digimon Story: Time Stranger and beat Mafia: The Old Country, Marc is stuck on farming sims, Wolverine could release in 2026, a new report from Newzoo suggests that there's an optimal time to release from early access, and more on this edition of Video Games 2 the MAX!
