Similarly to the base game, Shovel Knight: King of Cards is a 2D platform game with RPG elements. The new hero fights and moves in a different manner than the previous protagonists - he mounts a short charge, which stuns the enemies and destroys some of the obstacles on the map. He also has a special ability - he can perform a pirouette on enemies' heads multiple times. As one progresses through the story, the character acquires more powerful weapons, armor, and new companions. An interesting element of the game is a minigame, in which one can play cards with NPCs. The gameplay revolves around the story campaign, which is well complemented by special challenges, in which one can test their skills in platform puzzles as well as combat.

One of the Devourers differs from his kin - he can consume not one but many souls, thus he is tasked with assembling a team of heroes and stopping the threat.

One can choose three protagonists out of the aforementioned group - on their journey, the player can switch between the chosen characters at any given moment.

You cannot control those monster directly, you can only define their tactics for the battle. The more duels you win, the more heroes and creates will be available to you. One of the game's main assets is the possibility to personalize the figurines. You can paint even their smallest details, or use premade skins.

Those can be spent on gradual expanding of the parcel. The experience is diversified by numerous bonuses and hacks, such as stopping the passage of time for a short while. Between subsequent levels, the player is taken to story-based segments - during those, the protagonist can talk to different characters, buy new garden accessories and plant more and more beautiful pieces of greenery.

The battles take place in a turn-based system, and the key to success is using our hero and his party’s abilities, and adopting an effective tactic – the players can move their units during their turn. The game is complemented by an additional story episode, starring another character – Axel, and special gameplay variants for seasoned players. When compared to the PlayStation 2 version, the PC edition can boast higher screen resolution, and controls that allow the player to use keyboard and mouse combo.

A sequel to the action RPG from the Japanese studio Gust. Nights of Azure 2 lets us revisit the dark fantasy world, in which humanity rules only by daylight, while night belongs to demonic minions of the Night Lord. However, we won’t see any old faces from first game, as the second game focuses on completely new characters. Players take role of Ashule, a warrior who dies while trying to defend her friend Liliana from a powerful demon and is reborn as half-demonic being. Her main objective is to find and rescue Liliana. Similarly to its predecessor, Nights of Azure 2 is a typical hack and slash with an arcade battle system and TPP view. As she gets more experience, Ashule will unlock more skills and get more powerful in the process. She can also be helped by female companions, and the more often she does that, the stronger bond she creates with them. This in turn lets her learn new powers or unlock news quests.

Citadel: Forged with Fire is a multiplayer fantasy RPG developed and published by Blue Isle. The production is meant solely for online play and is sandbox in nature, letting the players choose their own career path. The users assume the role of arcane arts adepts and use their spell knowledge to explore a fantastical realm that is full of dangers and secrets, perform quests, build strongholds and siege engines, and compete with other people. Players can erect their own houses, which are equivalents of guilds, and establish their rules. Then, we can fight against similar groups for influence, territory, and treasures alongside our comrades. The gameplay mechanics are ruled by the physics engine, so the numerous available spells realistically impact the objects in the environment. The game is more fun thanks to the possibility of flying.

A first-person action game developed by Uppercut Games, the company also known for creating Submerged. The game was inspired by The Book of One Thousand and One Nights, and tells the story of a thief who is trying to steal a treasure from a cursed city haunted by evil ghosts and monsters. The players get to traverse randomly generated locations in search for loot and gold, fighting numerous foes on the way. What makes the whole experience a bit more difficult is the permanent death system - each failure means that the player loses all of their possessions and has to start over. City of Brass is not an unfair game though - the players learn from their mistakes and, with time, are able to find enemies’ weaknesses, move more dynamically around the map, as well as use both traps and elements of the environment to their own advantage. Moreover, on occasions, one is bound to encounter friendly jinn who sell better equipment and grant a wish, as a result of which a ghostly companion might join the player in the battles to come.
