A remake of Ninja Gaiden — a popular arcade action game, very successful on arcade machines as well as on most major gaming platforms during the late 80s and early 90s — developed with Xbox in mind. In the game, we assume the role of the eponymous warrior named Ryu who seeks revenge on the mysterious organization called Vigoor Empire and its leader, the man responsible for murdering the protagonist’s clan and stealing the magical sword Ryuken. Fighting subsequent hordes of enemies is, as you could expect, the key gameplay element, although the Xbox version, in contrast to the original, offers fully 3D graphics with dynamic camera. The game also comes with a larger arsenal of melee weapons as well as a simple progression system, which allows us to learn new techniques and upgrade our armaments.

PC

February 26, 2016

RPG, Historical, Roguelike, Singleplayer, Survival, Turn-based.

An old-school roguelike RPG with survival elements, developed by Enormous Elk – a studio composed of just two people. Before the official release, the game has been systematically developed and updated for a long period of 26 years. The action of UnReal World takes place during the Iron Age in a northern region of Europe that corresponds to the territory of modern Finland. There is no plot – it is a typical roguelike life simulator, offering freedom in shaping the fate of our hero, who can take up many professions or combine their selected elements. While traveling through the procedurally generated lands, one of the game’s key aspects becomes survival and the necessity to satisfy the character's basic needs, like water, food, clothing, or shelter. The game is characterized by high levels of realism, a turn-based combat system, tactical complexity, and extensive character progression system that offers hundreds of various abilities.

A sandbox action-adventure game and the debut project from the independent team at Paranoid Productions. The Church in the Darkness takes us back to the late 70s, and the story focuses on a pair of characters – followers of a radical cult, who run away to South America and try to create a utopia in the jungle. We play as a policeman named Vic whose nephew joins the mysterious church, so he travels to the aforementioned place to check if the boy is alright. The game is characterized by its high degree of randomness and freedom of action. A procedural generation system manages not only the shape of the locations and the placement of NPC, but also the dogmas of the titular Church, which affect the game’s plot. There are also difficult decisions to make, each with irreversible consequences.

A free-to-play spin-off installment to the bestselling racing game series known from the subsequent generations of the Xbox console. It was developed by Turn 10 Studios with PC users in mind. The gameplay of Forza Motorsport 6: Apex does not differ significantly from other full-fledged installments in the series and emphasizes simulation aspects (while still offering a number of gameplay facilities). Compared to the full-price console version, the title is significantly poorer content-wise. The game features only slightly more than 60 cars (compared to the 450 models available in the original) and 20 tracks in six locations based on actual racing circuits. The basic game mode, Showcase Tour, allows us to take part in 12 automobile events commented on by the former hosts of the highly-popular Top Gear television series.

An original mix of video game genres featuring elements of strategy, RPG, roguelike, economy, and exploration. The title was created by It Matters Games, a producer of mobile and browser games. Caravan takes you to the Arabian Peninsula in the beginning of the Common Era. The land was recreated with attention to historical detail, which however, did not stop the developer from implementing fantasy elements rooting back to the Middle-Eastern mythology. In the game you assume the role of a head of a prominent merchant family, who currently leads a caravan. Using the in-game map you select your travel destination and pick companions as well as stock up on water or merchandise. As you journey across the land you encounter random events – at those moments the perspective switches to a 2D view of the caravan. The same happens in towns, which you visit in order to trade and develop your character’s skills. Combat and bargaining take on the form of an original mini-game, which is a combination of rock-paper-scissors and a dice game.

Another installment in a series of popular RPGs brought by Nintendo and created specifically for Wii U. The player is taken to the Prism island - a place which was once very beautiful but is now losing its colors for unknown reasons. Mario's task is to discover the source of this terrible situation and save the island. The game offers interesting mechanics that distinguish this title from other role-playing games. The player is required to color blank spots in the game world, but to do so, Mario needs to equip a special hammer. Hitting things with it results in colors being restored in the area, characters getting revived and prisoners released. For doing all of this, the player is given golden coins. Interestingly, the player is engaged in coloring even in combat, but instead of coloring parts of the game world, special cards become their targets, representing different kinds of attacks. In terms of visuals, the game combines three-dimensional environments with flat, "paper" characters. Paper Mario: Color Splash is a very colorful game as its very title suggests, resembling in this aspect other games featuring the famous plumber.

These sequences can be joined and played as fights, in which the character controlled by the player fights five opponents and can deliver over a hundred strikes and different attacks. Gameplay comes down to pressing the right buttons at the precise time. It is crucial for a player to maintain the rhythm and perfect timing.

At the beginning of our adventures, we have to choose a class for our character. Each available class has their own unique equipment and set of skills. As we play, we will find heroes that will join us in our quest against the evil. Like in every RPG, we level up as we progress, making our party more and more powerful. Battles take place on colorful boards on which we have to link tiles to create a path for our heroes. By following our path, they will deal damage to every opponent on their way.

Developed by Nornware, Space Beast Terror Fright is an FPS featuring certain elements typical for roguelike games. Space Battle Terror Frights takes players to the future, in which humanity possesses the technology allowing for interstellar journeys. In order to retrieve important data, the main protagonist is sent aboard one of the ships drifting through space. His mission is complicated by the fact that the vessel is overrun by alien creatures – the enemy is powerful and ruthless. In order to survive, one has to shut the air locks in order to decrease the possibility of an attack from certain directions. During the game, one can use the deadly weapons arsenal as well as sentry robots that can help in fighting the enemies, and a motion sensor that can detect the enemies and point at data storages. Upon gathering sufficient data, the player has to reach the reactor, activate the self-destruction mechanism, and evacuate the ship before it explodes. One has to remember that the game features a permadeath system – upon the death of the main protagonist, the player has to start over the game. Moreover, the internal structure of the ship are generated procedurally – this regards both the layout of the rooms and distribution of alien monsters.

A sequel to the 2013 action game Toukiden: The Age of Demons, created by Japanese studio Omega Force (known for e.g. One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 and Dynasty Warriors). Unlike its predecessor, which was only available for portable devices, Toukiden 2 was also released for PlayStation 3 and 4 home consoles. The game's mechanics are similar to those of the first installment, so it's still a hack and slash with RPG elements. The setting is again the fantasy world ravaged by armies of demons, and you play as a seasoned warrior, who's dedicated to defeat them. The combat system is based on spectacular combo attacks and requires some agility. When facing boss enemies, you need to use a proper strategy and take advantage of your opponent's weaknesses. Toukiden 2 features an open world, where you can find NPCs, side quests, and various service providers. Apart from the singleplayer campaign, the game also has an online multiplayer mode.

An unusual, rare combination of an autorunner with a narrative rhythmical game, developed by Digixart Entertainment studio led by Yoan Fanise, former Ubisoft employee and the creator of Valiant Hearts. The story of Lost in Harmony: Kaito’s Adventure is set in an unknown futuristic world, across which the protagonist – young boy named Kaito – rides on his skateboard, carrying his friend, Aya, on his back. Each chapter represents one of the hero's phobias, such as fear of water, heights, or crowds. Kaito’s skateboard moves automatically, and the player has to avoid various obstacles by turning right, left, or jumping in right moments. However, all of this is directly connected to the background music, which not only affects the gameplay, but is also used for storytelling and expressing character’s emotions.

Another installment in the popular farming simulator series, also known as Agrar Simulator. The general gameplay mechanics remain the same, while the game is still divided into simulation and economic parts. In the former, we personally engage in various farming activities, such as field reclamation, animal breeding, crop production, planting trees, and harvesting, using a wide variety of agricultural machines. The money we earn is invested into development of our farm, namely: expanding its infrastructure, hiring employees, and purchasing additional equipment. The realistically modeled calendar of farming work as well as occasionally occurring random problems and obstacles play important roles in the game. In addition, the visuals were enhanced, especially since Professional Farmer 2016 is the first installment of the series to be released on consoles.

A commemorative edition of a popular rugby series, created by through a joint effort of Bigben Interactive and HB Studios for the eight annual World Rugby Championships.

As can easily be imagined, the main highlight of Rugby World Cup 15 is the titular world championship, allowing us to play as one of the twenty leading rugby teams, leading them through eliminations, the main competition, and the grand finale. Similarly to the previous installments, the game includes faithfully recreated stadiums, and licensed teams with real player names, outfits, and national anthems.

A huge (approximately up to for 200 hours of gameplay) DLC expansion for The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth from Nicalis studio. It isn’t standalone title, requiring the base game to play. Afterbirth introduces many novelties, including a new final area with a unique boss and ending. However, it doesn’t change the game mechanics, as we once again play a roguelike arcade title, exploring randomly generated locations, discovering secrets and fighting enemies. The gameplay is diversified with additional content in the form of new character, Lilith, new monsters and bosses, as well as previously unavailable items, challenges and locations. What's more, the DLC also modified the interface and expanded the soundtrack. Lastly, players received a new game mode called Greed Mode, in which they take great risks to obtain unique rewards.
