Parent Playing Video Games Podcast

I am here to talk about Soul Blazer on this episode! This is Episode 14, of the Parent Playing Video Games Podcast!

This is a different one because I never played this game until very recently. But even though I didn't play this 32 year old game back when it was new, didn't take away from my fun! I will be going over the usual categories at PPVG. That is the gameplay, music, time commitment, and finishing with how kid-able the game is.

Welcome to Episode 10! On this one, I will be talking about a great Metroidvania, Axiom Verge!
