The Fall of the Dungeon Guardians – A Quick Look

I have not finished The Fall of the Dungeon Guardians yet, so this won’t be a proper review. I have a feeling it’s going to take me a long while to do so, but I already want to give my thoughts / praise for the game. I have made it halfway through so far, and it has been a blast. It’s also incredibly brutal occasionally. I can easily say that I overvalued my abilities of succeeding in old-school RPGs (going by the mechanics). I started on “hard”, with me quickly being put in my place. However, it’s in no way impossible, and it’s actually not that advanced – it’s just a good challenge.

Menace – Dev Diary Number 3 (Combat)

Oh yeah, time for a new developer diary for Menace. So, what do we learn this time? Well, this one goes into probably the most important part of the game: the tactical combat. The devs go over the biomes that we will visit and destroy. What kind of missions there are. And apparently, they will be more involved than just kill everything, even when some missions will still have that objective. It has me questioning what the standard missions will be, but my bet is on standard kill sorties, despite what the devs say. Imagine running rescue tasks as default. It would quickly undermine the novelty of those types of objectives.

Underrail 2: Infusion – Video Quickie

Stygian Software released a pretty hefty video from their upcoming sewer crawling apocalyptic RPG Underrail 2: Infusion the other day. And I thought I would share it here, because it is certainly something to keep an eye on. Beyond the cool & soothing isometric camera angle, the environments, and the lighting, it looks great. A solid upgrade from Underrail.

Starship Troopers: Terran Command – Territory Mode (Open Beta)

We are back to the hellscape of Klendathu in Starship Troopers: Terran Command – to kill or to be killed by the bugs. This, in the form of a free addition called Territory Mode. It’s in Open Beta currently, so anyone that owns the game on Steam can give it a go. That is what I did.
