We take care of them through creating various public utility buildings. To get the political chaos under control, we can use military, bribes, intimidation, or even public executions. If brutal methods don’t serve their purpose anymore, we can attempt to talk with the opposition, and in case of a natural disaster, The Red Cross will heed our call. In the fourth installment of the game, we are introduced to a new set of special buildings and a system of trading with neighboring countries.

The game offers fully 3D graphics with third-person perspective view and a real-time combat system that requires combining individual strikes into complex sequences.

The gameplay is similar to classic RTS games with top-down camera, but the controls and combat are distinctly arcade, and characterized by considerable simplicity. The gameplay is pushed forward by a system of buying and upgrading tanks, which can be optimized for certain situations by equipping them with engines, additional armor, and weaponry.

Assuming the role of one of 5 robots, we have to thwart our enemy’s evil plans by using unique abilities and offensive techniques of each character. Moreover, they can be further developed in the course of the game. Thanks to the use of cel-shading technology, the game quite faithfully recreates the atmosphere of the cartoon original. Another highlight of the title is the dubbing performed by the actors who voiced the TV series.

The primary novelty is the possibility of interacting with other players who can turn out to be either precious friends or deadly foes. Don’t Starve Together allows us to play both with our friends and with complete strangers. Another appeal of the expansion is the fact that it comes with the previously released DLC, Reign of Giants, which expands the original title with new bioms, enemies, and a full year cycle.

The game refers to the initial two-dimensional installments of the series, which means that battles are presented from the classical side view. The title does not lack for several enriching novelties, though. These include the possibility to hide inside buildings and to use vehicles that allow us to traverse the battlefield and deal damage to the enemy. Visually, the production features the characteristic cartoonish visual style, although the worms’ appearance and animation were refreshed.

However, it seems that it might not have been an accident, and one of your crewmates may be behind the whole plot.

Action, 2D, Fantasy, Indie Games, Action Adventure, Singleplayer, Soulslike, Top-down.
A two-dimensional retro action platform game inspired by typical cRPGs and the cult PS2 title Shadow of the Colossus. Titan Souls was developed by the independent, three-person studio Acid Nerve and it is an expanded, commercial version of the application created during the Ludum Dare competition. The game takes place in ancient ruins in which, according to a legend, the souls of titans were placed. These souls are the source of all life, but they were shattered into many pieces and access to each of them is protected by a legendary golem. As a young warrior, the player will face the golems, each of which is challenging in a different way. The monsters have their strong and weak points and learning about them is the key to victory in the duels. The fact that the protagonist is equipped with a bow with only one arrow makes things even more complicated – in order to attack the opponent again, one must first pick up priceless projectile.
