Axe of the Blood God: Witcher 3, Secret of Evermore, and the Final Fantasy IX Report Wrap-up

PODCAST | Kat and Nadia were busy over the holidays.

Article by Kat Bailey, Editor in Chief

Updated on 5 January 2018

Axe of the Blood God is our weekly RPG podcast hosted by Kat Bailey and Nadia Oxford. You can find the previous episodes here.

In this week's episode of Axe of the Blood God (download link here), Nadia and I share the RPGs that we played over the holidays. And they aren't the ones you might expect!

Rather than diving into Xenoblade Chronicles 2, I found myself engrossed in Witcher 3 and Darkest Dungeon. Nadia, meanwhile, got a random copy of Secret of Evermore. We both talk about our experiences revisiting these games, and how our perspectives have changed over the years (especially when it comes to Witcher 3). Also in this episode: We wrap up the Final Fantasy IX Report!
