An action RPG set in unique fantasy world, developed by Japanese studio Gust, know from the Atelier and Ar tonelico series. Nights of Azure takes us to an isolated island kingdom, in which people must face demonic creatures that roam at night. The main heroine, Arnice, is a warrior gifted with dark powers. Her duty is to protect priestess Lilysee who – according to legends – can lift the curse that was cast on the land by sacrificing herself. To prevail against overwhelming forces of evil, Arnice has to gradually abandon her humanity, while Lilysee tries to accept her fate. Gameplay of Nights of Azure shares characteristics with the hack and slash genre. We observe the three-dimensional world from third-person perspective, as the heroine fights with enemies. Those battles are purely arcade and fought with the assistance of demonic minions. Between missions – main or secondary – we can visit our base, where we may talk with NPCs and unlock new powers.

Farm Heroes Super Saga
June 20, 2016
Puzzle, Match-3, Singleplayer, Free-to-play.
Another installment in the popular casual series created by King.com. It is a direct sequel to Farm Heroes Saga that was released in 2013. This time the player is tasked with stopping the evil Rancid who obtained the supercropsies and uses them to achieve his villainous goals. The story of the game is just an excuse for the actual gameplay which in Farm Heroes Super Saga is based on the rules of the match-3 genre. It is a light logic game in which the gameplay focuses on moving colorful vegetables and fruits in order to combine them into vertical and horizontal lines consisting of at least three similar pieces. This removes them from the map and gives points to the player. It also allows for completion of various side missions. From time to time the player will face a challenging boss as well. Various power-ups make the game more interesting. They make it easier to complete levels and obtain more and more points.

A spin-off to Killing Floor, an FPS series developed by Tripwire Interactive. The game was made for Oculus Rift and Oculus Touch controllers. In Killing Floor: Incursion we play as a soldier of an elite unit, Horzine Security Forces, who along with their companions must face Zeds, a type of zombie known by fans of the series. The game is an FPS with very arcade gameplay. Our goal is to eliminate everything that moves and doesn't look like a human. To accomplish this task we use various weapons (including knives, pistols, etc.) which can be found while we are exploring the locations that contain secrets about Zeds' origin. The graphics are slightly worse than in Killing Floor 2, however, when compared to other VR games, they still look good.
