Dverghold – Demo Impressions

Christmas must have come early this year, because here is yet another turn-based blobber on a grid. And just like the demo of Underkeep, the Dverghold demo is excellent too—landing right between feeling genuinely old-school and modern in the form of UI and snappiness. There doesn’t seem to be a way to create custom party members, which is a bit of a bummer. However, I understand the design decision, as it seems death is permanent. Meaning that the run will continue, even in defeat, as long as you have recruits for your dungeon diving gang back at base.

Gothic 1 Remake – A release date, finally [Trailer]

Finally, we get a release date for the Gothic 1 Remake, which will be the 5th of June. I wouldn’t say it’s close, but I’m almost certain it will be a great summer RPG. Something to sit down and play while dodging the unbearable anti-gamer heat. They released a trailer for this occasion, where we can see that they have fixed the controversy by making Gomez’s ladies hot again. This can be spotted at 1:28 minutes into the trailer. Overall, it’s a nice trailer that sets the mood, but I’m a bit worried if my system can run it at 60 FPS without melting the GPU. Trailer after the jump!

Underkeep – Demo Impressions

A new turn-based blobber in 2026? Please wake me, because I must be dreaming. As it seems, I’m not, and Underkeep is real. Now, this demo was a pure treat, as it’s a blobber without the dancing hell gameplay of Legend of Grimrock, being turn-based with combat more akin to the Wizardry series (but on a grid).

Stellar Tactics – Nearing Release

Wow. Stellar Tactics, an early access game I bought way back in 2019 is finally hitting 1.0, with a preliminary release date in March. I honestly thought it was going to end up as abandonware, but I’m happy to be wrong about this. I did try it, and I remember feeling charmed, since I enjoyed the turn-based combat and the genre: sci-fi RPG. What’s not to like?

ATOM RPG 2 [Trailer]

The Atom Team, the developers behind the recently released RPG Swordhaven sure is a busy bunch! Now they are working on ATOM RPG 2, with an announcement teaser already completed. I know very little about the game, but curiously, I think it might go from a top-down perspective to either third or first-person going by a random video teased on X (twitter)—both of which you can watch there after the jump. Make sure to check them out and don’t forget to add ATOM RPG 2 to your Steam wishlist. A hardworking team like this deserves the recognition.
