Hazelnut Bastille
July 18, 2018, End of Life
Action, 2D, Crowdfunding, Dungeon Crawler, Puzzle Elements, Fantasy, Indie Games, Action Adventure, Singleplayer, Top-down.
A 2D action-adventure game with pixel-art visuals, inspired by a subgenre known as metroidvania. Developed by the American Aloft Studio, Hazelnut Bastille is an attempt to recreate the best features of 2D games released in the 90s for SNES. The creators brought both an adequate visual style and a fitting soundtrack, but they also limited the aspect ratio to 4:3 for example. The story revolves around adventures of a young woman who searches for a treasure she lost, and tries to discover the secrets left by the mysterious Ancients in this foreign land at the world's end. The path of the protagonist leads through countless chambers of old dungeons and mazes where traps and puzzles are waiting for the player in large numbers - those were constructed by the Ancients themselves. The locations are also filled with unfriendly creatures, such as fire-breathing frogs, levitating jellyfish making use of electric power, or huge, armored worms. From time to time, the player encounters powerful bosses with special kinds of attacks and unique weak spots. In combat, the player uses mainly a dagger known as Dawnthorn, which can also revive beings. Apart from that, one will be using a crossbow that can launch multiple bolts simultaneously, as well as bombs with timers. Additionally, a special device allows the player to place energy barriers - those can prevent objects from moving, redirect light and conduct electricity. The barriers are useful both while solving puzzles and fighting, as they can serve the role of a temporary cover.

Creeping Terror is a 2D survival horror where we play as Arisa, a Japanese high school student, who, together with her friends, ends up in a haunted mansion in order to verify the stories told about it. After entering the residence, the entire group passes out and later wakes up in a sinister cave. Our job is to find a way out and survive. Action in Creeping Terror is presented from a side-scrolling perspective. Gameplay focuses on exploration of grim locations (underground tunnels and the residence itself) and solving more or less complicated riddles. In addition to that, Arisa has to hide from many nightmarish creatures (she can only fight with them on special occasions) and, if needed, simply run away. The 3DS version of the game has quite good visuals, but the same cannot be said about its PC release. Nonetheless, the game’s grim atmosphere can be quite enjoyable thanks to the toned-down colors and ominous soundtrack.

Another game from the series aimed at fans of rugby.

Additionally, the game also has the FanHub option, which allows the players to create their own teams, rugby players and even stadiums that can be later shared with other people. Rugby League Live 4 allows not only to control the players manually but also to create tactics or make important changes during a match. One of the new features that are available in the game is the new animations system. Motion capture allowed the developers to make new animations that weren't available anywhere else before, e.g. players can catch their enemies' ankles.

The basic mode in GRIDD: Retroenhanced is the Arcade Mode, in which the difficulty level continuously adjusts to player's skills. The game also features the Endless Mode, in which the player has to face unlimited enemy waves. One's actions are monitored by the scoring system, thus the player can share his achievements via the online ranking boards.

A big asset of the game is the fact that it's free and does not feature microtransactions; the only thing you can buy with real money is a permanent function of blocking ads during the game.

Bomber Crew is a hybrid of a strategy game and a simulator, with some additional RPG elements. Developed by Runner Duck, the game allows the player to assume the role of a WWII pilot commanding a bomber crew. During the game, one has to complete numerous missions, which involve eliminating strategically important military targets and providing reconnaissance behind enemy lines. The gameplay is divided into two parts – the preparation stage involves selecting recruits, as a bomber crew has to comprise a pilot, a mechanic, gunners, a radio operator, a navigator, and an ammo supply crewman. The player should pay close attention to the recruits they select, as their death on the battlefield is permanent. When airborne, one has to monitor the condition of both their crew and their plane, as consecutive subsystems might break down – a spot-on shot on the plane’s tail might result in losing maneuverability, similarly to a burning engine. Thus, during each mission, the player has to repair the plane. After completing a mission (when over a target, the player gets to operate the on-board systems in order to photograph the target or bomb it), one has to return home safely – provided he has enough fuel. Bomber Crew is bound to attract players’ attention with its colorful visuals and dynamic vessel damage system.

The game simplifies the traditional RTS mechanics, but supplementing them with elements borrowed from card games and tower defense titles. Each duel is fought using the cards one has in their deck, which can be modified to one's liking. New cards can be found in chests received for victories. Cards of the same kind can be combined together to improve the firepower and durability of one's tanks and other units. Contrary to the classic RTS games, the player cannot control particular units manually - the player only chooses when and where to place a unit and the rest is done automatically, as the subordinates simply join the battle. Placing various units on the battlefield should be done with caution however, as sending a tank to a zone where the enemy has already placed a soldier with a rocket launcher will have catastrophic consequences.

An arcade action-platformer created by Cogg Games Ltd and based on a series of comic strips by William Morris-Julien. The protagonist, a brave Eskimo by the name of Eekeemoo, is the last representative of an ancient order of Eskimo fighters. One day, the land where Eekeemoo lives gets attacked by the evil Dark Shard, who kidnaps his friends, steals the artifact known as the Star Heart, and sends hordes of the undead to this world. The player's goal is to relieve the world of them, free the protagonist's friends, and reclaim the artifact from the hands of the evil being. When exploring four worlds (swamps in the woods, a zone with volcanoes, mountains covered with snow, and the dark domain of the protagonist's nemesis), the player encounters many evil creatures trying to put an end to the protagonist's journey. What weapon the player uses to eliminate their foes depends on the character controlled; at the beginning, the player can experience the game world only as Eekeemoo himself, but as they subsequently free the friends from the hands of the Dark Shard, the player gains access to a troll called Yum Yum (fights with a club), the princess Nim (prefers ranged attacks), and a flying robot called D-Bot.

Another military strategy game in the publishing catalogue of Paradox Interactive, this one developed by the French studio Eugen Systems. Steel Division: Normandy 44 draws much inspiration from the Wargame series created earlier by the same developer, letting players take part in fights over Normandy in 1944. The game features playable armies of such nations as Nazi Germany, the United States, France, Canada, England, Scotland, and Poland. Steel Division: Normandy 44 puts much emphasis on realism, therefore real-time battles are split into three phases, which correspond to actual WWII skirmishes. While moving from one stage of battle to another you get access to new types of units, of which there are now 400 in the game, all based on historical data. Infantry, tanks and support vehicles are also aided by airplanes. Devising a proper tactic serves a key role in the game – the most important things you must consider are the landscape and morale of your soldiers. Too much stress reduces the combat effectiveness of your men and can even make them flee in panic. Steel Division: Normandy 44 lets you play either solo (throughout the campaign) or in multiplayer – up to twenty players can play together in online battles.

Reservoir Dogs: Bloody Days
July 18, 2018, End of Life
Action, Singleplayer, Shooters, Top-down.
Reservoir Dogs: Bloody Days is a top-down shooter based on Quentin Tarantino's movie Reservoir Dogs from 1992. The game tells the story of a group of criminals who do bold heists together. Mr. Blond, Mr. Orange Mr. Pink, Mr. White, Mr. Bronze, and Mr. Blue are all part of that group. Their actions are always brutal and leave a trail of dead bodies in their wake. We can take up to three criminals for a mission. We control each of them individually, but, thanks to the Time Back mechanics, we can go back in time and control another character. At the same time, the criminal we controlled previously does the same moves as we did when we controlled him. Gameplay focuses on doing the same actions from a perspective of a couple of characters in away that all of their moves combine into a single coordinated action. Before we get a satisfying end result, we will have to more than once redo the heist and modify our character's actions.
