A futuristic racing game developed by Caged Element and a spiritual successor to the once-popular Rollcage series. GRIP takes us to an unspecified period in the future and focuses on brutal racing tournaments of well-armored vehicles; the tradition stems from illegal city racing that was popular in early 21st century. As the sport grew more and more popular the number of modifications in racing cars constantly increased, which translated into significantly better performance for the price of taking incredible risks. In the wake of numerous unsuccessful attempts to eradicate the brutal sport, the authorities eventually admitted their defeat and accepted it as an official sports discipline along with its TV broadcasts. The rules are incredibly simple: the players’ task is to reach the finish line as quickly as possible and preferably in one piece. What differentiates GRIP from traditional racing games is the unique construction of the cars that allows them to drive on nearly all surfaces, including ceilings.

The third installment in a 2.5D platform game series that exists as a spin-off to the Assassin’s Creed franchise. This time you visit the 1918 Russia, when two bloody revolutions lead to some radical changes in the government. The brutal Bolshevik rule ignites a civil war, while the never ending struggle between the Templars and the Assassins rages on in the background. Playing as Nikolai Orelov, you take care of the Brotherhood of the Assassins’ interests, completing a series of dangerous missions, whose general gameplay premises are no different than in the core Assassin’s Creed games. However, because of the unusual perspective, the game requires even more tactical approach and careful planning of your next step.

Dragon Quest Heroes II
May 27, 2016
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.

Soulblight
March 15, 2018
RPG, Fantasy, Indie Games, Polish, Roguelike, Action RPG, Singleplayer, Soulslike, Top-down.
A roguelike RPG based on incredibly complex mechanics and created by My Next Games - an independent Polish developer. The player takes on the role of an adventurer who explores both mysterious and dangerous areas of the place known as the Archives. The player either fights the enemies or sneaks pass them, gathering loot and developing their character along the way. Almost every action of the player affects their character's personality and skills. For instance, drinking beer regularly leads to alcohol addiction; grabbing each and every coin we stumble upon can result in catching gold fever. Other mechanics display a similar level of complexity. Wounds fall into different categories, and each sickness needs to be cured by different means. Healing items also have different forms and quality, for example, using the worst kind of bandages can cause an infection. When it comes to combat, the game combines typical mechanics of turn-based titles with hack-and-slash elements. The Shadowborn is a two-dimensional game played from a top-down view.
