In Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair we play as a member of the titular organization that protects our planter from the invading species from space, just like in the previous games from the series. The game takes place in 2025, when Earth is once again attacked by the insectoid alien invaders. Before we can face them, we have to choose one from a couple of available classes, like the universal infantry soldier, air strike specialist or the heavy arms expert. No matter what class we decide to play as, we have a wide array of weapons at our disposal. Even though we cannot control them directly, tanks, helicopters, and mechs aid us in battle. The game focuses on fighting creatures that look like overgrown ants, hornets, even dragons, or armored vehicles. Along with the single player campaign, Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair offers multiplayer cooperative missions.

An original adventure game developed by Monsoon Lab. In Sara is Missing the player becomes a finder of a smartphone, whose owner has mysteriously gone missing. The task ahead of you is to discover the secret behind these events. Sara is Missing features unique gameplay mechanics – the User Interface looks like a mobile operating system and what you do is solve puzzles and talk to people from the phone’s contact list. Messages, notes, pictures, and videos found in the phone’s memory can help you out with this, and so can the in-game assistant. What adds to the game’s originality are the unusual graphics, made to look like a standard smartphone operating system.
