Each of them tells a completely unique story that is not directly tied to the plot of the original version. Apart from that, the title offers new maps and scenarios, new locations on the adventure map, a previously unavailable structure for the necromancer class (the Evil Shrine), as well as numerous arteficts and scrolls. The expansion also introduces 11 new character portraits, however, they are only available in the campaign and single player scenarios.

For each side there are 12 missions, featuring some adventure elements, where, apart from defending their base and trying to destroy the enemies, the players will also have, for example, to level an enemy city, or go into the underworld to bring back fallen comrades.

Also, The Shadow Odyssey brings new story quests, side missions, a large set of new items, abilities and spells, as well as some previously unavailable enemy types and two new gods worshiped by the inhabitants of Norrath.

An FPP action-adventure game featuring sci-fi elements and focusing on exploration. It was developed by Blue Isle Games - a Canadian team popular for Slender: The Arrival. The player is taken to the titular valley, which is a mysterious place located somewhere in the Rocky Mountains. Assuming the role of an unspecified character, the player traverses a set of diversified locations, trying to discover the secrets hidden in the area. The protagonist makes use of the L.E.A.F. exoskeleton, which belongs to the latest inventions in technology. However, thanks to the possibilities the exoskeleton offers, the exploration is very dynamic, for the protagonist can access locations an ordinary human being would not be able to reach. One of the most important uses of L.E.A.F. is control over life and death - the player can both deprive organisms of their lives or literally breathe life into them. There is a price to be paid for this ability however, because each death of the protagonist causes the entire valley to decay gradually.

An amazingly hilarious adventure game combining elements of the famous Monkey Island series with the crazy Octodad: Dadliest Catch. It was developed by Perfectly Paranormal - an independent game-making studio. The game tells a story of the titular Samuel, who has just died as a result of an accident. In the Afterlife he meets Death, with whom he makes an unusual pact.

The player is required to perform seemingly simple tasks, such as breathing or controlling their limbs (each separately), blinking their eyes, dress up, go to bathroom, brush their teeth, etc. The controls are not very precise however, which results in many hilarious situations displayed on the screen. The game features humorous, cartoonish visuals.

An arcade real-time strategy game by Pocketwatch Games, featuring old-school pixel art visuals. The action of Tooth and Tail takes place during an animal revolution, modeled to the conflicts of the turn of 19th and 20th century, where several factions comprised of different animal species fight to the death. Gameplay mechanics resemble classic RTS productions—their foundations lay in resource gathering, base building, and tactical combat. In the game, however, we can not issue direct orders to individual units. Instead, we assume control of their commander, who moves throughout the battlefield with a banner in his hand. His task is to designate places in which buildings will be built and show his subordinates their targets. Since we control just one character, the controls of Tooth and Tail resemble a typical action game rather than strategy, and most processes were adequately automated so that the player can focus on pure fun.

An original mix of simulation and logic game from the British developer Spiderling, which lets players construct inventive siege weapons that will help them annihilate enemy troops and fortifications. The game puts you up against various challenges, starting with crushing ordinary civil buildings, to besieging heavily fortified strongholds defended by brave knights. In order to succeed you have to use the available parts to create a unique siege weapon able to crush your opponent’s resistance and resist enemy counter-attacks. Players’ creativeness is restrained by nothing; all it takes is a bit of imagination to go from constructing only standard medieval siege weapons, to flame throwers, tanks, simple flying machines, and anything in between. The game features full 3D graphics, and its relatively low system requirements were achieved by reducing the field of view to the nearest area.

Action, RPG Elements, Fantasy, Hack'and'slash, Internet, Co-op, Multiplayer, Singleplayer, Slasher, TPP.

An action game with numerous RPG elements. Similar to its predecessor, it is a spin-off title in the Dragon Quest franchise by Square Enix, and although it retains a similar atmosphere, it offers several new solutions. The plot of Dragon Quest Heroes II references the events of its predecessor. Despite the lack of any direct links to the core Dragon Quest productions, there are a few familiar faces to see here. As befits a hack and slash game, Dragon Quest Heroes II focuses on quick and spectacular combat. The player fights hordes of enemies who would pose no threat in a one-on-one fight but can be dangerous in larger numbers. Moreover, from time to time, the protagonist faces powerful bosses; to defeat them, it is necessary to use more advanced tactic. Although the game focuses on arcade hand-to-hand combat, it does not lack a complex plot and script. Dragon Quest Heroes II offers three-dimensional graphics which resemble Japanese manga and anime stylistics.

Another installment of the farming simulation game series from GIANTS software. Contrary to most of the major entries in the franchise, Farming Simulator 16 was created solely with the PS Vita handheld console and mobile devices in mind. In the game, we traditionally assume the role of farm owner, and our task is to turn his possessions into a true agricultural empire. Achieving this requires us to sow and harvest, and then invest the money we’ve earned into the farm’s development as well as new vehicles and devices. The title features over 50 fully licensed agricultural machines of various type that we can personally drive while working in the field. Compared to its predecessor, the game offers new sorts of crops, but the biggest novelty is the introduction of forests, along with a pretty big set of hardware for felling and processing trees.

A role-playing game based on a French series of audiobooks, Le Donjon de Naheulbeuk, distributed for free and adapted to a comic book series and board games. The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk is an effect of collaboration of an experienced publisher Microids and developer Artefacts Studio, known for Gods vs. Humans. The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk is set in a medieval-fantasy universe. The player commands a group of adventurers, hired by a mysterious person to enter the eponymous Dungeon of Naheulbeuk and retrieve the last of the incredibly precious Galdeulfeurh’s statuettes, which is an essential element of a dark prophecy. Gameplay mechanics are based on classic RPG rules, enriched with a tactical, turn-based combat system. Similarly to its audiobook original, a characteristic element of The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk is its light-hearted, humorous approach to some generic clichés. The game was co-developed by the creator of the original, John Lang, who oversaw the quality of script and dialogues.

A twin-stick shooter, Tachyon Project is a title developed by Eclipse Games, established by the developers credited for Pure, Split/Second, Imperial Glory, Wanted: Weapons of Fate, or Terminator 4: Salvation. The players assume the role of a computer program named Ada, used to hack into the most heavily guarded servers in the world. For reasons unknown, Ada had been kicked from the test server, and forced to wander about the depths of internet. Our objective is to discover what has happened to Ada’s creators, and attempt to return to the home server. When it comes to mechanics, the game is a two-dimensional shooter controlled using two analog sticks. The player will be facing numerous opponents, including bosses. Our ship can be upgraded through numerous modifications and perks that build multiple power-up configurations, applied for different encounters. Aside from the story campaign, the developers introduced a cooperation mode for up to four players. The graphics of Tachyon Project are rather simple, but colorful light effects create eye-pleasant visuals.

Grandia II Anniversary Edition

August 24, 2015

RPG, Fantasy, jRPG, Remaster/remake, Singleplayer.

A remastered version of the classic jRPG that launched in 2000 on Sega Dreamcast, developed cooperatively by SkyBox and Game Arts. The action takes place in a fantasy land where a grand battle between the gods of light and darkness took place centuries ago. While playing, we assume the role of a mercenary named Ryudo who is hired to protect a young priestess, Elena, and discovers that the history of his world which was passed down in legends is far from the truth. Mechanics-wise, it is a classic jRPG focused on exploration, questing, character development, and, obviously, combat. The last element takes place in an unusual hybrid system in which actions are performed in turns but the commands are issued in real time. Compared to the original version, Grandia II Anniversary Edition offers enhanced graphics with sharper textures and an advanced lighting and shadowing system.

A first-person science-fiction adventure game focusing on the relations between a human being and a machine. Due to an unspecified course of events, the protagonist finds himself alone aboard the Nautilus - an abandoned space vessel which is heading in unknown direction. With the help of the on-board Artificial Intelligence, the protagonist has to survive and find out what really happened here. However, cooperation with the AI is bound to cause some problematic situations. The gameplay as such is relatively unusual here, because the player's main activity is to ask questions and input various commands for the AI to execute. Each time the player wants to interact with an object, they are required to give an adequate command to the on-board computer. When the AI refuses to act in accordance with the player's demands, one has to try something more persuasive or try some other command.

Arcade, 2D, Singleplayer, Free-to-play.

A two-dimensional arcade game for mobile devices, created by Protostar. The player assumes control of a monkey with remarkable stretching ability. The mechanics of Sling Kong are somewhat similar to the Angry Birds series. Our monkey has the ability to shoot itself, like a sling shot, using its elastic arms in certain points. There is only one way for us to to go, and that is up – a task which is made difficult by the fact that the points disappear after a short while. This does not allow even a moment’s rest, while the locations are filled with numerous obstacles such as mobile platforms, crushing totems, or fire-searing flowers. We receive special gold coins as a reward for each successful playthrough, and unlock other friendly animals which can be used in next games, improving our high scores. Sling Kong uses simple, albeit funny and cartoonish visuals.

An unusual attempt to combine one of the most cult shooters of all time with elements of turn-based RPG. In the game we play the hero of B.J. Blazkowicz's cycle, who, captured by agents of the Third Reich, has to get free and face the evil brought into the world by a secret SS unit called Paranormal Division. Just like in the home game, we observe the action from the first-person perspective, but the fight itself was carried out in the turn-based system.

Xenowerk features a dynamic and spectacular gameplay, and also a multiplayer mode allowing you to compete with your friends.
