The remaining players take part in a classic action game; they can use firearms – the events are seen from the first-person perspective – as well as melee weapons, with the camera assuming third-person perspective when using them. The key to success lies in cooperation and carrying out orders received from the commander, who has a better view of the battlefield.

Cloud Pirates is an action MMO game created by the Russian studio Allods Team. The game takes place in the fantasy world of Sarnaut that suffered a mysterious cataclysm thousand years ago.

In time, the adventurers operating those ships received a new name - cloud pirates. We play as one of them. Gameplay in Cloud Pirates focuses on air battles. Nothing stands in our way if we want to play as a lone wolf, but it is more reasonable to form squadrons and search for the remnants of the old Sarnaut as a group. Defeating more powerful enemies requires us to use our team members individual traits and our joint forces. Ships we can use differ in terms of the design, weaponry, stats, and maneuverability. Victories unlock access to upgrades (not only for our ship, but also for our crew), additional munitions, and unique combat abilities. Allods Team also included many options that allow us to modify the appearance of particular units. The game has colorful visuals.

Rokh
May 16, 2017, Early Access
Action, FPP, Co-op, Multiplayer, Science Fiction, Survival.
An interactive survival horror set in a science-fiction world, developed by Darewise Interactive studio, in which we play as one of the Martian colonists with the task of surviving in the hostile environment. The gameplay mechanics are mostly based on other, similar games from this genre, with the gameplay boiling down to exploration and creation of necessary items using a complex crafting system, which relies heavily on robotics and programming. We also have to take care of various vital parameters of our character, providing him with food, oxygen, and protection from radiation. The game concentrates around the co-op mode, which shows not only in the possibility of working together with other players, but is also necessary to master crafting. Rokh is powered by Unreal Engine 4, offering e.g. dynamic weather and atmospheric pressure, which both have major impact on the gameplay.

An action RPG in the form of a 2.5D side-scrolling arcade game, developed by a Spanish studio, Milkstone. In Pharaonic, we take role of a brave adventurer who tries to unfold the mystery of Ahmosis I, a ruler known as the Red Pharaoh. This won’t be an easy task, as we will face soldiers of the pharaoh’s army, along with countless traps and deadly mythical creatures. The game brings together classic hack-and-slash features and the somewhat old-school style of classic arcade games. Gameplay is inspired by the Dark Souls series, with complex and challenging battle system, adjusted to fit the mechanics of a side-scrolled slasher. We talk with various characters and discover more and more secrets of the story, as well as tens of alternative paths, each of which might be filled with either great treasures or deadly traps. The game is complemented by a character progression and modification system that fits the genre’s standards.

Prospekt

A first-person shooter created by Richard Seabrooke, set in the world of Half-Life. Prospekt started as a fan-made modification that eventually, thanks to the help from Valve and the players' great interest in the game, became an independent commercial product . The story runs parallel to the events of Half-Life 2. When Gordon Freeman is in a need of assistance, his Vortigaunt allies decide to bring in a commando by the name of Adrian Shephard, a character known from Half-Life: Opposing Force. When it comes to gameplay mechanics, the game offers an experience similar to what Valve's other games accustomed the players to. During the gameplay, the player explores linear levels and fights encountered enemies. The game also features occasional puzzles. In contrast to the game's early, fan-made mod, form, it received an upgraded interface and lighting system, improved graphic elements, and a better enemy AI.

Exploding Kittens
January 21, 2016
Party, Humorous, Indie Games, Internet, Card Games, LAN, Multiplayer, Online, Singleplayer.
A mobile card game created by Mathew Inman as an adaption of a popular board game of the same name. Exploding Kittens is unlike anything in its genre and has been developed purely with a group of players sitting at a single board in mind. Rules are incredibly simple: during each turn the players randomly select one card, and the one to draw the eponymous volatile furball is out of the game. All other cards are used to avoid the explosive animal or preventing others from achieving the same objective. We can find among them e.g. passing turn, looking at top threes cards of the deck or defusing the kitty and returning it into the deck in way that other players won’t know where it is.

Eddie is traveling through a dangerous fantasy world and faces enemies from hell by using various melee weapons (including chains and a knuckle-duster) and magic superpowers. The battles are based on classic mechanics from turn-based RPGs – the attacks are performed alternately with the AI controlled opponents.

Megadimension Neptunia VII
April 23, 2015
RPG, Humorous, jRPG, PS Plus Extra, PS Plus Premium, Science Fiction, Singleplayer, TPP, Turn-based.
The seventh full-fledged installment in a popular, though niche, series of jRPGs whose characters personify the famous Japanese consoles and development studios. The plot was divided into three, non-connected episodes set in the universe of the series. The game features both characters the players are familiar with, and completely new figures. Compared to the previous installments, the rules and mechanics have not changed, thus the game is a typical representative of the jRPG genre, featuring turn-based combat sequences taking place on separate arenas. Three characters at max take direct part in a fight, and they can undergo transformations during the encounter in order to benefit from their stronger, divine forms. What is completely new here, is the introduction of an additional, even more powerful form, which has brought an additional tactical element to the encounters with the most dangerous bosses.
