They released six games during the 2010s and four more in the 2020s. The studio focuses heavily on role-playing games, accounting for nine of their titles, followed by adventure games with eight releases. Strategy games make up another significant portion of their work, including turn-based strategy options. Their distribution spans many platforms, with ten games available on PlayStation 4 and eight titles found on both PC and the PlayStation Vita. They also support Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 5 with six games each. Quality varies across their library. The average IGDB rating for their three rated titles sits at 62.2 out of 100.
