It was developed by Disruptor Beam, a studio known for games like Game of Thrones Ascent or Star Trek Timelines. March to War features optional microtransactions. The game takes place near Washington, D.C. some time after the zombie epidemic began. We lead a group of survivors and try to keep them alive in the new, post-apocalyptic reality. In order to do so, we will have to expand and upgrade our base, manage our resources, and complete missions. We will also have to find and recruit other survivors. Each of them has their own story, personality, and abilities which we can level up. All deaths are permanent, so losing a high level survivor can be painful. The so-called Council system plays a crucial role in the game. The Council is made of characters we know from the comic books. Each of them is a skilled survivor, making them great leaders of mission squads. It is almost impossible to achieve victory by playing by ourselves. The Walking Dead: March to War forces to create alliances with other players in order to defeat common enemies.

Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Trilogy
May 23, 2018, End of Life
Action, 2.5D, Historical, Package, Platformers, Singleplayer, Stealth, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
Compilation of three Assassin's Creed series spin-offs, realized in the form of 2.5D platformers. The action of individual productions takes place in different historical realities - in each game, however, a sneaky approach to the game is rewarded, and as a result, the silent elimination of opponents or sneaking behind their backs. The strong point of the titles included in the set is the graphic design, whose high quality is guaranteed by the UbiArt Framework technology.

Kingsway
May 23, 2018, End of Life
RPG, 2D, Fantasy, Indie Games, Roguelike, Singleplayer.
An original RPG with elements of roguelike; it was developed by an independent developer Andrew Morrish. The player is taken to a relatively unusual fantasy world, but what distinguishes Kingsway among other similar games, are the very unusual gameplay mechanics. The game resembles a simplistic operating system and the entire action takes place in several different dialogue boxes (the player can customize them). For instance, traps and enemies are presented in the form of pop-up windows, equipment is managed through placing particular things in separate folders; as for the quests, information concerning them is given to the player via the in-game email box. Nonetheless, the game's procedurally-generated environment is filled with conventional adversaries; the protagonist represents one of several specialties and they gradually acquire more and more powerful weapons. Additionally, the protagonist's personality is shaped by the player's decisions - this is relevant to the fact that death is permanent in this game.

RPG, Fantasy, jRPG, Time Travel, Remaster/remake, Singleplayer, Turn-based, Nintendo Exclusive, Isometric View.
Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology is a complete remake of Radiant Historia, a jRPG game that was released in 2010 on Nintendo DS. The remake has completely new 3D visuals, new soundtrack composed by Yoko Shimomura, and an additional storyline with new scenarios and characters. Moreover, with game veterans in mind, Atlus created a special option of skipping the bigger part of the story and jumping right into the new content. When it comes to new players, they can choose one of the lower difficulty levels. The rest of the game was not changed. Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology is still a classic jRPG with turn-based combat mechanics. We play as a young warrior named Stocke. With his companions, he has to prevent the destruction the Vainqueur continent. The biggest attraction of the game is the possibility of traveling in time and influencing history with our choices, bringing to mind cult games Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross.

Meganoid

Action, 2D, Indie Games, Platformers, Roguelike, Science Fiction, Singleplayer.
Meganoid is a 2D platform game developed by the independent studio OrangePixel. We play as an armed to the teeth hero who explores the procedurally generated maps of the titular ship. As we play, we will explore many various levels, jump from one platform to another, avoid numerous traps, and face hordes of enemies. We will use many weapons like rocket launcher, plasma rifle, or explosives while eliminating them. There are many useful gadgets at our disposal, like a jet pack or a night vision device. Special cards will allow us to customize some parameters of the game. Given the game's fast pacing and high difficulty level, we will die many times in Meganoid. Combined with old-school, pixelart visuals, Meganoid brings to mind games from the early 1990's.

Dragon Quest Heroes I & II for Nintendo Switch is a collection of two third-person hack-and-slash games and Dragon Quest series spin-offs developed by Omega Force. Both games are 3D hack-and-slash titles, very similar to the Dynasty Warriors series in terms of gameplay. As we play, we will explore enormous open locations and fight with hordes of enemies. The available heroes have different attacks and special abilities. They can block and evade attacks, which comes in handy when facing the gigantic bosses that require from the players a bit more tactical approach. The Nintendo Switch versions of the games previously released on PlayStation include all DLCs and exclusive content, and brand new characters and scenarios.
