Fails WP:N and WP:V: non-notable video game with no references based on reliable, third-party published sources. A WikiProject Video games custom Google search turns up nothing but false hits to other games and an empty Gamespot page. A more general Google search finds the usual forum posts, spam sites, and sites found to be specifically unreliable at the WikiProject Video games guide to sources. As a side note, the lede was taken verbatim from Strategy Wiki and the gameplay section is pretty much WP:GAMEGUIDE, requiring a complete overhaul if someone can turn up references.

Weak keep - there's an interview at reliable source GamersHell and it was listed by Gamespot. Diego (talk) 13:01, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The interview is amateur and submitted by the developer, really no different than "interviews" one finds in advertisements. It's pretty much a press release. the GameSpot database has been found to be specifically unreliable at WP:VG/S, and it lacks reviews by staff members (the only reliable references we allow from GameSpot).

Delete. Notability is not established in the article or in any major VG journalism outlets. I agree with Woodroar's assessment of Diego's mentioned sources—I don't think they're nearly enough to make this topic notable. czar · · 17:14, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
