Stoic Studio has just announced the release date for part 2 of The Banner Saga (somewhat-strangely entitled The Banner Saga 2, as though it were a sequel). Although it’s a continuation of the story from the series’ first outing, The Banner Saga 2 is planned to feature some improvements, most notably improvements to the game’s […]

Word reaches me that there’s a sci-fi first-person dungeon crawler in development by San Diego indie studio Juggernaut Games called StarCrawlers. StarCrawlers employs a narrative AI that procedurally generates missions and dungeons with enemies, traps, and loot. This reminds me a little bit of the classic 1990 dungeon crawler Captive, though presumably StarCrawlers will not […]

Word reaches me that upcoming wRPG Lords of Xulima , previously covered here, has hit beta. Specifically, Spanish developers Numantian Games have made the beta version available with pre-order of the game–however, at $45, it’s a bit on the pricey side. Windows only for now.

You’ve probably heard of Legend of Dungeon; it’s a 2D side-scrolling action RPG with procedurally generated levels and Streets of Rage-style brawler combat. The game supports 1-4 players playing cooperatively in a bid to reach the 26th floor of the dungeon and loot the treasures contained therein. The brainchild of two-person team Robot Loves Kitty, […]

The premise for the sequel is vague on plot details, but it does contain an interesting new gameplay mechanic: Eternal Eden: Ecclesia is a direct sequel […]

Steven Peeler has emailed me to announce the release of a public demo for Soldak Entertainment’s upcoming space-based action RPG Drox Operative. (You can see me playing a beta version here, and failing terribly it.) The demo is available for both Windows and Mac. It’s 120 MB, which is surprisingly small considering how much stuff […]

Chris Legasse, he of the 1-bit roguelike MiniFlake, was good enough to notify us all that there is now a free playable demo of the game available on Desura. Also, there appears to be a proper trailer now: The demo is Windows-only; however, per the developer, the finished game will be released “on the Android, […]

Soldak Entertainment writes in to report that their sci fi Diablo-alike Drox Operative has entered open beta. Windows and Mac users can pre-order the game for $14.99 to get immediate beta access (as well as discount off the price it will carry upon release).

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Thus, rather than tell you that strategy-RPG / western-RPG wunderkind Telepath RPG: Servants of God has just been made available for pre-order, I will use a picture: Word has it that this is going to be a good’n, but in the spirit of visuals over verbiage, […]
