Nemesis: Distress – a sci-fi horror FPP multiplayer game from Awaken Realms is now available on Steam Early Access.

Dive into this unique multiplayer sci-fi horror experience filled with unforgettable, cinematic moments. Just remember that here you’re not a hunter. Here you are the PREY.

Nemesis: Distress puts you on a ship lost in space, where evolving Intruders rampage down corridors and rip through everything that stands in their way. Will you save the ship? Will you stay loyal to your crew? Or will you take the easy way out and board an escape pod at any cost? The possibilities are almost limitless, as each game of Nemesis: Distress will create its own cinematic sci-fi horror experience.

Watch the Nemesis: Distress Steam Early Access Launch Trailer on Awaken Realms’ YouTube channel HERE.

Get the game from Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1343620/Nemesis_Distress/).

ABOUT NEMESIS: DISTRESS

Nemesis: Distress is a sci-fi horror FPP multiplayer gamev from Awaken Realms – the creators of the incredibly popular Nemesis board game that raised $4,000,000 on Kickstarter back in 2018. Nemesis became so well-known that it even made a cameo appearance in South Park!

Moreover as a result of another Kickstarter campaign for Nemesis Lockdown – a stand-alone expansion to the original game, developers gathered over $8,500,000 and at the time of launch sold over 500,000 units of both the base game and the expansion.

This outstanding success made them start working on the digital version of the game and finally led to Early Access launch of Nemesis: Distress on Steam today.

Gameplay-wise, it mixes a hidden traitor mechanic with shooter and survival elements. However, it’s NOT a shooter, as in this game, you’re not a hunter – you’re the PREY.

In Nemesis: Distress, players will progress through 40-minute scenarios while trying to survive and fulfilling their secret objective.

Choose one of the asymmetric character classes, each with special actions that come in handy in specific situations. Select the secret objective you’ll have to fulfill to win the game – these are randomly drawn out of an exciting challenge pool and include destroying the Nest, safely directing the ship to Mars, or even ensuring the death of other players. Sometimes there won’t even be a traitor, but you’ll never know who to trust!

While the implants inside your characters block any direct negative interaction (such as shooting other crewmembers), there are plenty of indirect ways to make other players’ lives harder. Setting rooms on fire, spreading false information, and closing doors right in front of their faces are just a few.

On top of that, there’s the constant threat of evolving Intruders slowly taking over the ship. While it is possible to kill them, it’s not an easy task, and there’s no benefit – other than surviving the encounter, that is.

NEMESIS: DISTRESS MAIN FEATURES

  • The horror experience – Get ready for a thrilling environment where every sound and movement around the ship will keep you on the edge of your seat. There are different types of enemies, including the dangerous Adult that can one-shot you.
  • Unique semi co-op – You will need to find a fine balance between collaborating with your teammates (otherwise, you won’t survive) and not trusting them fully, as some might have nasty secret objectives. This creates an interesting dynamic and adds an extra layer to the horror experience.
  • Noise management – Since the alien species on the ship is blind, you’ll need to be very careful about the sounds you make. But you can also use it to your advantage – throw items to distract enemies and sneak past them… or just use a flamethrower to scare them away.
  • Fresh items idea – Since Nemesis isn’t a shooter, don’t expect too many weapons. Instead, you’ll have a different “arsenal” – a noise detector, hacking tool, or good-old pipe will come in handy in various situations.

Nemesis: Distress is being developed by Awaken Realms and is now available on Steam.

Dare to enter the Forgotten Caverns in Aura Kingdom

Hamburg, June 16, 2022 – gamigo is asking the Envoys of anime MMO Aura Kingdom to be wary when they venture into the “Forgotten Caverns” in patch 86. They would be well advised to bring a companion along to watch their back.

Plenty of adventures await players in the latest update for Aura Kingdom including:

  • Anti-Epidemic Attack: Let’s make Azuria a healthy environment and prevent the invasion of the virus! All Envoys with a character level of 25 or higher are tasked with visiting Terrence in Navea to receive their share of hygienic face masks for distribution. Logging in daily provides the “Home Epidemic Prevention” buff, which offers additional benefits.
  • Prism Collection Event: The new Prism Collection Event is all about collecting as many Prism Shards as possible. This limited time event includes new and exclusive items that can only be obtained by exchanging Prism Shards with the NPC Isaac to get the ‘Prism Tears.’
  • New Dungeon “Bond – Secret Grass Kingdom”: Players with a Slvl10 or higher should head to Gloomy Ridge to find this new dungeon. They need to be careful though since normal attacks don’t work there. To figure this out, Envoys need to bring a battle buddy – only the power of two gives them a chance to succeed.
  • Daily Quest “Eidolon Gossip Chapter 13 – Cesela”: The Moon Goddess wants to be the lead singer of a band and the players must find out why.
  • New Quest “Deity Cultural Relic”: This new Mirabelle quest requires a group of five players of at least level 25 to go to Crescent Hill to the Fame Bulletin Board to accept it. If the players are successful, they can receive the reward “Cultural Relic Lucky Pack”.
  • Legendary Battle – Beast Master: Stop the powerful monsters that suddenly appear by using unique items ​ residents of the border village have. Experience the legend first-hand by challenging the Beast Master with your party of five to win the battle. The reward “Legendary Victory Treasure Chest IV” beckons!
  • Navea Event – Toxic Crisis: The city of Navea is suffering from a Poisonous Worm problem and is now in quarantine! Envoy, ask Gray to take the Poisoned Villagers back to the Safe Zone. But be careful you don’t become poisoned yourself!

In addition to these new adventures, more quality-of-life improvements have been implemented (for example, the new feature: Buff Icon Optimization) that will make the lives of the Envoys easier.

Embark on an Epic Quest Across a Sea of Shifting Sands in New Metroidvania from Assemble Entertainment — MIRA and the Legend of the Djinns

Two Unlikely Partners Will Journey Together and Discover the Forgotten Truth Beneath Ruin and Wreckag

Wiesbaden, Germany – 15th June 2022 – Award-winning indie publishers Assemble Entertainment and developers littleknightgames are elated to reveal today MIRA and the Legend of the Djinns, a new Metroidvania game in Assemble’s catalogue of successful indie titles. A highlight of Steam’s Guerilla Collective and showcased in the Shacknews E6 lineup, MIRA and the Legend of the Djinns showcases the remarkable world the duo journeys through, illustrated through vivid Mediterranean-inspired pixel artwork and a lulling soundtrack. Throughout their travels, they learn of the world Mira once knew and how it was consigned to oblivion. Along with the reveal, the studio has also released a trailer showcasing the title’s mix of beloved retro mechanics expertly merged with gameplay novel to the genre.

Drawing deep inspiration from Moroccan and Amazigh culture, language, and spiritual traditions, MIRA and the Legend of the Djinns is an adventure that tells the tale of Yuba, an avid treasure hunter, and a mysterious Djinn named Mira, the first Djinn discovered in generations. The two journey together across the devastated world of Fallen Amazgesh, a world of ruins, to uncover her lost memories, and in turn, what happened to her land and its people. To this end, Yuba and Mira agree to form a spiritual Bond, something no human has done outside of fabled legends.

Delivered in a classic 2D Metroidvania-style format, Mira and Yuba traverse the vast expanse of the Desert Ocean, discovering new friends and vicious foes along the way. Together, the pair will track down priceless artefacts, explore dangerous ruins, battle against mutated creatures and corrupted spirits, and come face to face with the very cause of the cataclysm that destroyed Mira’s world and conceived Yuba’s.

Key Features of MIRA and the Legend of the Djinns:

  • Go With the Flow: Djinns hold power over four Primal Elements: Solar, Celestial, Infernal, and Lunar. Players are granted four different weapons to wield, each one imbued with one of the four Elements. A fluid combat style allows players to switch between weapons and elemental modes on the fly — even in the midst of combat!
  • Grow the Skill Tree: Whether by progressing the story or buying them in-game, take down enemies in style with dozens of moves to unlock. Create new movesets and utilize them to kick some serious butt!
  • Show Me Your Moves: Along with the classic Metroidvania abilities such as the Dash, Mira and the Legend of the Djinns features magical abilities unique to the retro genre. Many of the spells have uses outside of combat, encouraging players to try out different combos and think outside the box.
  • All Good Things are Multipurpose: Throughout the game, players can discover seven different tools, each used to overcome obstacles, solve puzzles, and weaponize during combat. Certain items are more scarce; acquire these rarities by doing side quests, defeating certain enemies, and if you’re lucky, occasionally purchasing in shops.

MIRA and the Legend of the Djinns is available for wishlist on Steam, with a planned release set for 2023.

Dark and Gritty Fantasy Game Blackguards 2 Launches on Nintendo Switch Today

You can enjoy Daedalic Entertainment’s acclaimed strategy RPG on Nintendo’s handheld system right now!

Hamburg, Germany, June 15th, 2022 – Daedalic Entertainment is happy to announce that Blackguards 2 is releasing on Nintendo Switch today at 4pm UK / 5 pm CEST. The turn-based strategy-RPG originally launched on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, when it was praised for a superb job building over its 2014 predecessor. Filling the gap for dark and mature epic fantasy RPGs on Nintendo Switch, Blackguards 2 features a gritty storyline, alongside deep lore and strategy mechanics while pitting players against challenging enemies.

Deep in the dungeons of Aventuria, Cassia waits for her chance to break out and claim what she perceives as rightfully hers: the Shark Throne. To achieve her goal and overthrow the man that took everything from her, the young noble will have to recruit the Vanquishers of the Nine Hordes and other mercenaries. Every choice matters in this dark tale and Cassia needs all her wits about her to control the army of criminals – and lead her squad to victory or to certain death.

In Blackguards 2, the player chooses the playstyle. Front line combatants, ranged fighters or dangerous mages – up to 20 characters can join the party and head into battle. Every challenging hexfield battle needs a new strategy and the wrong spell might result in death. When every action during battle has consequences, each move has to be carefully considered. Not only do the player’s choices matter on the battlefield, but throughout the entire game. Cassia’s story is not set in stone and fateful decisions can influence the ending of the game and the fate of the squad.

Main features:

  • Recruit mercenaries, find upgrades and build an indomitable army
  • Find the Vanquishers of the Nine Hordes and see what has become of Takate, Naurim and Zurbaran
  • A story with many twists and turns, fateful decisions and more than 20 challenging hours of playtime awaits you
  • Command up to 20 characters in your party and lead them to death or glory
  • Master and finish the game on many different non-linear paths
  • Make decisions influencing your squad and the ending of the game
  • Choose your spells, talents and skills wisely, since they dictate your strategy on the battlefield. Give priority to offensive or tactic in challenging battles
  • Interact with your environment and let walls collapse or even discover new routes on your journey through Aventuria
  • Lay waste to your enemies with powerful spells and abilities. But be on your guard: your foes may wield them as well

Blackguards 2 launches today on Nintendo Switch. More information is available on the Nintendo eShop.
