Roleplaying games, everything from classic CRPGs to modern stuff
Not the typical video I usually post about, but like the title of YouTuber Professor Khury‘s video—after seeing it, I become a tad worried myself. The Expanse: Osiris Reborn is a game by Owlcat Games that I’m very much looking forward to. It’s the sci-fi show The Expanse, made into a Mass Effect inspired RPG—so, what’s not to like? Well, except the writing, that is, as shown in the video. Hit continue to watch it!

The boys at Atom Team are at it again, this time with a Kickstarter for ATOM RPG 2. The game looks to be turn-based still, with the same recognizable visual style as the other titles in the series—but with a few clear changes. A third-person camera seems to be an option now, and, of course, the damn driving! I approve.
I pledged 19 euros for the Caspian Wastelander tier. So now, the waiting begins for another RPG set in an apocalyptic world drenched in eastern flair. Check out the trailer below, and the Kickstarter page here!

I’m a few days late to the party, but here we finally have a gameplay trailer for the upcoming RPG The Expanse: Osiris Reborn. Now, I’m not entirely convinced it contains enough gameplay to technically qualify as one, yet what little is shown is pretty darn good. It looks like the modern Mass Effect game that we never got, but we all yearned for. The only thing that earned a strong dislike from me is the floating health bars, so I really hope they make an option to turn that off.
Overall, it’s looking very intriguing, essentially what I want from a pop-a-mole in space. Not to forget, the Expanse universe is an excellent space opera setting that is similar to the universe of Mass Effect (in tone), so the devs have plenty of cool stuff to pick from. Check out the trailer after the click!

Xenonauts 2 isn’t the only sci-fi title coming out of early access, with Stellar Tactics taking the lead with a release this month—the 30th. Now, these two games coming out together, after both seemingly spending a lifetime in early access limbo, is a very nice surprise for us turn-based aficionados. It will surely liven up the spring months for us gaming nerds. Sure, going outside to feel the sun warming our cheeks, but aliens, man! We have nasty aliens to defeat—Earth needs us, or in the case of Stellar Tactics: our ship and mercenary pals. Either way, it’s going to be an interesting time, as both games are big with lots of different sandbox elements. Check the 1.0 trailer after the jump!

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.
