Modern Review
Aurora Drift — 47 Hours of Total Immersion
Our final score on the NZ indie sci-fi game taking over regional servers. Here is why the mechanics reward patience.
Read Review →Our Editorial Core
Started with a vintage CRT. Still tracking down absolute gaming perfection.
I am Liam Cooper, founder of WarpHero. Our story began in a drafty Dunedin student flat, hunched over a second-hand CRT screen and box of PS1 demo discs. There was one rule then and remains today: finish the game before writing about it.
Now three writers strong, we take zero funding from major corporate publishers. If a title demands 80 hours of your life, you deserve a writer who actually suffered through every single boss fight to deliver the true breakdown.
