Each playable character has their own unique abilities, strengths and weaknesses. The environment in which the game takes place can be as hostile (or even more) as other players.

The third version of the second entry in the jRPG series from Level-5, after Bony Spirits and Fleshy Souls.

Secret World Legends is a story-driven action MMORPG developed by Funcom. It serves as a reboot of the company's other MMO game, The Secret World. The plot is based on the same premise as the original game and tells the story of the same conflict-driven, full of magic and bloodthirsty monsters world where mysterious factions of templars and illuminati fight for power. As we play, we will visit darker sides of many real-world cities. We will use magic and conventional weapons in our fight against the supernatural. Secret World Legends has a bigger open world than the original game, where more players can be active at the same time. When it comes to combat, we can now evade attacks, but the number of available abilities was reduced. We can finish the game's story completely on our own, unlike in many MMORPGs, but nothing stands in our way if we want to play with our friends. PvP is completely optional.

Starfighter Origins
April 25, 2017
Simulation, FPP, Indie Games, Space, Science Fiction, Singleplayer.
A combat simulator which places the player in control of a starfighter. Developed by an independent British team - Mad About Games Studios Ltd., the game was inspired by space simulators from the 90s. Starfighter Origins is set in a futuristic world, where humans explore space and pirates are waiting among asteroids for unarmed transport ships and other easy loot. The player assumes the role of a pilot working for the Colonial Defense Force - a law enforcement group that use various kinds of combat ships in order to maintain order in space. The player has six unique ships to fly in the game, including fast, reconnaissance units with powerful radars, classic fighters - they handle well and are well-armed, and heavily-armored support craft. Eliminating the enemies involves use of both rapid-fire cannons and auto-targeting missiles. When fighting, the player must pay attention to how much resources they have left - both fuel and ammunition, as not every mission gives an opportunity to re-fuel the ship and refill ammunition. The game delivers exclusively a single-player experience. The four modes available include the story campaign, the Simulation and the Challenge modes (a series of independent scenarios), and the Instant Action mode. The last of these requires the player to choose a difficulty level at the beginning; both the battlefield and type of enemies are assigned randomly.

A sidescrolling adventure game developed by a duo of independent developers known as Knuist & Perzik.

Our task – which is to find a new home – quickly evolves into an attempt to solve an ancient conflict. As a result, the player traverses large and varied worlds, encounters non-player characters, avoids numerous obstacles, battles various opponents and gathers stills that depict the story of this unique universe. The game is characteristic for its unique water painted graphics.

Strategy, Crowdfunding, Cyberpunk, Economic, Indie Games, Science Fiction, Singleplayer, Turn-based.
Spinnortality is a turn based economic strategy game developed by James Patton. The game allows the players to become a ruthless and stereotypical president of a cyberpunk megacorporation. Our company, which operates on a global level, is involved in countless businesses around the world and, at the same time, is not afraid of using illegal methods to fulfill its goals. During the game we conduct research on new technologies, create products and services, organize marketing campaigns, influence tastes of entire nations and fight with other companies to win clients and contracts. If there is a need we can also order assassinations, engage in electoral malpractice, bribe politicians, destabilize governments, start wars, use industrial espionage or steal from our enemies' pension funds. In the end, all that matters is profit, and domination must be achieved by any means necessary.

A Hole New World is a 2D side-scrolling platform game inspired by productions from the golden age of NES console. The game has been developed by the Spanish developer Mad Gear Games and is a demanding old-school production without any tutorials or handicaps. The player is equipped with a single weapon and a simple set of moves, with which he has to handle the encountered dangers using only his creativity and agility. The main protagonist is the Potions Master – a mysterious warrior tasked with defending the world called Versee from the hordes of darkness. Long ago, a goddess called Yakshini has separated the Upside-down land from Versee – she used this secluded world to imprison the forces of evil. Unfortunately, the goddess has soon vanished, and the treacherous Lord Baduk managed to open a portal between the two worlds and use it to invade Versee. The Potions Master is the only one who can defeat the forces of evil. He can deal damage to the enemies by throwing potion vials at them – these potions can also cause thunderstorms, create fireballs, and even grant the main protagonist special abilities, such as double jump. The Potions Master is aided by a fairy named Fäy – a small creature, who can turn herself into a light bullet at will. The game features 5 lands waiting to be explored by the player, as well as several endings, and an optional CRT mode allowing one to change the visuals to make them similar to the CRT screen.
