The studio has worked across many platforms including PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and more recent systems like the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Their portfolio leans heavily toward adventure games with eleven titles in that genre. They also have a presence in hack and slash, beat 'em up, and platformers, each with four entries. Other genres in their library include shooters, racing, indie projects, strategy, and role-playing games. Their work appears mostly on PC and Xbox 360 with nine games each, followed by eight titles on PlayStation 3. The company has achieved solid critical reception overall. Out of eight rated titles, the average IGDB score is 71.9. Two games received great ratings above 80, while six others landed in the good range between 60 and 79. No titles fell into the mixed or poor categories. Their highest-rated project is Blades of Fire from May 2025 with a score of 82.7. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow (2010) follows closely at 81.7. Other notable entries include Clive Barker's Jericho (2007) at 70.9 and various Castlevania sequels from the early 2010s. Raiders of the Broken Planet (2017) sits at the lower end of their range with a 60 rating. Recent activity shows they are still active, though output has slowed compared to their peak in the 2010s. They released Scrapland Remastered in late 2021 and Spacelords in 2017 alongside Raiders of the Broken Planet. Their work remains consistent in quality without dipping into poor territory, even as they explore different genres across multiple generations of consoles.
