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.

Slayaway Camp is an unusual turn-based logic game developed by an independent studio called Blue Wizard Digital. When working on their game, the developers have drawn their inspirations from the 1980s horror movies and at the same decided to mock their cheesy themes. The player assumes the role of a psychopathic murderer tasked with killing the teenagers who relax on their summer holidays. The maps are relatively small and composed of square fields. The characters can move only in straight lines and stop only if they encounter an obstacle. With these limitations in mind, the player has to reach their destination, avoid traps and other threats, and lead their victims and police officers to the deadly traps. With time, one can unlock more playable characters and gadgets used in the game. The game features a humorous style, in which all the characters and locations look as if they were built from large bricks, while the murders themselves are more funny than terrifying.

The first expansion for the 2016 dungeon crawler RPG Darkest Dungeon by Red Hook Studios. The add-on utilizes the gameplay mechanics from the core game — you complete a team of heroes and set out to explore the eponymous Darkest Dungeon. Your goal is to find enormous riches, with which you can expand a shabby hamlet, also serving as your base. Like in the original Darkest Dungeon game, the characters of The Crimson Court suffer from typical human ailments — some of them may go berserk, while others may panic when surrounded by darkness. The game places a strong focus on blood, which is a theme connecting the items you find and your enemies. The expansion also marks the first appearance of vampires, creatures with a unique set of characteristics and abilities.

Underrail: Expedition
July 22, 2019
RPG, 2D, Indie Games, Post-apocalypse, Singleplayer, Isometric View.
The first paid expansion for the post-apocalyptic cRPG, released in 2015 by Stygian Software. Underrail: Expedition takes players beyond the metro network known from the original Underrail, offering a vast underground basin known as Black Sea. We are given over a hundred locations to explore – including mysterious ruins, pirate strongholds, laboratories, and islands of various sizes – which are traversed on foot or using a boat. The add-on contains new factions, enemies, abilities, and items. Underrail: Expedition increases the level cap, allowing our heroes to advance past level 25. The gameplay itself reuses the rules which governed the gameplay of the original Underrail. As a result, the game world has an open structure, and is seen from an isometric perspective, while our hero completes various main and side quests, battles opponents, upgrades his abilities, and acquires new equipment. The encounters are turn-based, often requiring well-thought strategies in order to win. Underrail: Expedition is a not a stand-alone expansion, and requires the original Underrail.
