Colossus Fighter Aztech Forgotten Gods Launches Today on PC and Consoles

Chihuahua, Mexico — Mar. 10, 2022 — Aztech Forgotten Gods, the Latin-Futuristic cyberstone colossus fighter from award-winning Mulaka developers Lienzo, will have you fighting for the fate of the world today on Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and Windows PC via Steam, Epic Game Store, and GOG.

Removed from European influence, the city of Tenochtitlan thrives as the Aztec Empire’s crown jewel. For centuries, the Aztec people ushered in an era of wondrous technological and scientific progress. But with world-altering advancements comes unprecedented global risks. Only Achtli, a spirited young woman, can rise to the challenge and fight for her people when an innocent experiment turns into a supermassive, existential threat.

To stand tall against towering behemoths, Achtli must harness the propulsive powers of Lightkeeper, a mysterious prosthetic artifact of untold strength. Zoom past Tenochtitlan’s towering skyscrapers and flying cars, grinding luminescent railings to cross the city at breakneck speeds. Launch Achtli into the air, meeting her ancient foes eye-to-eye before delivering rocket-boosted punches. Confront the colossi seeking to obliterate her beloved city in combat combining powerful strikes and acrobatic maneuvers.

Experience an emotionally charged story inspired by the rich history of Mesoamerican cultures as Achtli faces each trial and tribulation. Master mobility and rhythm to become an unstoppable force, unlocking new skills to expand Achtli’s combat prowess and aerial maneuverability. Embrace Lightkeeper’s power to out-position, flank, and pummel the colossi’s critical weaknesses to become the guardian of Tenochtitlan and the Aztec people.

“It’s finally here! We couldn’t be more excited to launch Aztech Forgotten Gods today,” said Guillermo Vizcaino, Head of PR & Marketing and Lead Writer, Lienzo. “Achtli’s journey is dear to every one of us at Lienzo, and getting to share her story with the world is one of the most exciting moments our team has ever experienced.”

Aztech Forgotten Gods launches today on Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Windows PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG for $29.99 USD with English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, and Russian language support.

Thy Creature Preview

Thy Creature

Developer: MazM
Publisher: Growing Seeds Corporation
Platforms: PC
Release Date: 19 February 2022
Price: $19.99 USD / $28.95 AUD – Available Here

Thy Creature could be summarized as a shoujo manga-styled video game version of Mary Shelley’s classic horror novel Frankenstein. Actually, calling Thy Creature a horror game of any sort isn’t very accurate. Sure, basic horror elements are present: A tragic story, a haunted tower, strange creatures, etc. but have you ever seen the Frankenstein monster blushing like an anime girl? I have not. The best description I can come up with for Thy Creature overall visuals and themes is “dark-cute”.

The game was recently released on Steam under their early access program. You take control of the Stitched up “Nameless Creature”. After being rejected by humans for being too handsome because of his “grotesque” appearance, he decides that humans are best avoided. After wandering for what seems like an eternity, the creature happens upon an ominous tower shrouded by the moon. He doesn’t have any memories of the past; the only thing he knows is that in this tower lies the reason for his existence.

Thy Creature is a story-heavy adventure game with some light puzzles. There are also enemy encounters like you’d see in an RPG; you can see the enemy on-screen and by touching it, you’ll engage in combat in a grid-like platform. The twist in Thy Creature is that you don’t issue commands to your party members, nor mash buttons to attack enemies. The battle is played out like a bullet-hell shoot’em up. I mean, it’s not really a shoot ’em up, your objective is to dodge bullets that rain upon you. While you desperately try to avoid the bullet-infested screen, purple memory fragments will appear, and by collecting those, you deal damage to the enemy. As you’d have guessed, the memory crystals’ purpose isn’t only dealing damage; they also unlock memories that belong to the creature or someone else in the tower.

To climb the tower, the creature will need to resolve a series of rooms, sometimes containing easy puzzles, and other times defeating enemies. The battles are easy, even for players not used to dodging waves of bullets in a 2D plane; sometimes objects will block access to the crystals’ fragments, requiring the resolution of a very simple puzzle while you continue to avoid bullets. The player will need to cooperate with other characters. That includes returning their memory fragments to them, thus, helping them retrieve their memories. Along the way, there’s a variety of objects that you can interact with; some of them give more context to the tower and characters, while others are key to advancing the story. There are also collectibles that contain a brief description, but can’t be used yet.

The graphics and flow of the game feels like an RPG-Maker title, but Thy Creature is made using Unity. its visuals and performance are generally superior to what is normally made using RPG-Maker.

The music in the game is almost always very somber and dark. There are a few more upbeat tunes, but even those have a hint of melancholy to them. I don’t feel that the soundtrack fits the game very well. It’s rather strange to listen to such depressing melodies while an anime girl angrily flails her arms for some stupid reason. The intro theme was composed by the music band Mili: They’re known for composing a variety of anime songs, and they also composed the soundtrack for Ender Lilies.

Currently, The game is on its initial early access phase, but there’s already a good chunk of content to be played, that is, the first and second floor of the tower. The problem here is the lethargic pacing on which events are played out. This game loves to take its time during dialogues and cutscenes. Even when there’s not that much dialogue or anything important happening, you are forced to wait for no reason until the characters decide to speak or take action. You can’t skip or even accelerate dialogues currently; you’ll mash the confirmation button in frustration trying to make the next dialogue box appear, but it won’t matter, you have to wait. There’s no controller support, so you need to use Steam’s built-in controller configuration to bind keys to a joystick, or play on a keyboard. The game is set to leave Early Access in a year at most, according to the game’s developer. More features are planned, such as skills and new ways to deal with enemies. I believe that Thy Creature will be updated continuously, and I’m hopeful that little by little, MazM will be able to address the issues currently present in the first build of the game.

Summary

Recommended – While Thy Creature is currently in need of some QoL implementations, I believe that the game has a lot of potential. The game started with the right foot. The more patient players can jump right in, but those expecting something more palatable may want to wait a few months before playing.

FUNPLUS INTRODUCES ORLANDO BLOOM AS A NEW HERO IN STRATEGY MOBILE GAME ‘KING OF AVALON’

The Mobile free-to-play Strategy MMO marks the Hollywood star’s return to a medieval setting and his first ever mobile video game collaboration

Greater Zurich Area, Switzerland — March. 10,  2022 — FunPlus, a leading mobile game developer and publisher today announced a partnership with the Hollywood movie star Orlando Bloom to bring his character to life in ‘King of Avalon’, the medieval free-to-play mobile strategy game inspired by the legend of King Arthur. The actor has worked closely with FunPlus in creating a fearless half-Unmelted new hero of Avalon, ‘Orlando the Nightshard’.

“We are honored to be welcoming a star with the talent and global reach of Orlando Bloom to the King of Avalon universe” said Chris Petrovic, Chief Business Officer of FunPlus. “The team has done an amazing job shaping this character and developing a tailored story that King of Avalon fans will love. We can’t wait for our community to discover Orlando the Nightshard and explore his history and abilities in-game.”

Starting today, and running through upcoming months, Orlando will be a playable character with a customized storyline within the ‘King of Avalon’ universe. Orlando leaves behind his iconic bow to take the Nightshard Blade forged with Dragon’s blood to lead the locals of Avalon to victory. 

“King of Avalon is an incredible world of lore and adventure with exciting characters like mine, who get to roam the lands and conquer different territories” said Orlando Bloom. “At a time when games and movie characters are blurring the lines, it was cool to see my character, Orlando the Nightshard, come to life”.

Orlando Bloom arrives in ‘King of Avalon’ with a blockbuster storyline that now is part of the lore of the medieval strategy game. The new hero once was a famed and respected knight, until the Unmelted appeared – evil creatures who have brought frost and terror to Avalon. One day when traveling alone, Orlando was attacked by a horde and, while trying to fight them off, Orlando’s right hand was struck by a cursed ice blade. Without hesitation, Orlando cut off his hand but the curse of that wound was more powerful than he thought, turning him into a half-Unmelted state. When Orlando returned home, he discovered his Unmelted traces spurred fear and hatred in people in Avalon so he became an outcast, heading to Dragonsholm City to find out how the Lord of this ancient land might receive a knight marked by the Unmelted. 

The Nightshard hero joins the growing roster of heroes of ‘King of Avalon’ with a unique skill: Nightshard Blade. Forged with Dragon’s blood, Orlando wields it to deal extra damage to all foes based on the player’s Infantry’s Health. Troops led by Orlando the Nightshard deal extra damage to enemy troops each round.

To celebrate this arrival, King of Avalon has shared a gift code worth $10 with hero items related to this content: ORLANDO2022. This code can only be redeemed once per account by Lunar Lords who have reached Lord Lv.16.

‘King of Avalon’ is now available for free download on iOS and Android. Launched in 2016, King of Avalon is a mobile 4X strategy MMO inspired by the legend of King Arthur. Players must build a powerful empire from scratch by upgrading buildings, enhancing the strength of their army, forming player alliances, and conquering the surrounding world of medieval Europe. King of Avalon is a bestseller in nearly 70 countries and has more than 100 million global downloads.

Diablo 2 Industry Giants Peter Hu and Phil Shenk Announce Creation of New Studio

Original IP from Diablo 2 and Torchlight veterans in the works at newly-founded Moon Beast Productions

Austin, TX – March 10th, 2022 — Today veterans of Blizzard North’s Diablo II and Flagship Studios Peter Hu and Phil Shenk have announced the formation of Moon Beast Productions, a new game development studio with work already underway on an unannounced new original IP.

With the formation of Moon Beast Productions, the duo is rekindling a partnership that helped deliver the groundbreaking Diablo II and Lord of Destruction at Blizzard North. Drawing on their formidable experience building decades of acclaimed ARPGs, the co-founders are focused on a new title and game setting with all the creativity and deep systems design they’re known for, plus some very forward-thinking, genuine innovation.

Phil Shenk is a 25-year veteran game developer and entrepreneur who has held key roles working on some of the most influential game franchises of all time. While at Blizzard Entertainment, he served as Lead Artist and lore writer for Diablo II before leading design on the Lord of Destruction expansion. In 2003 he joined Peter Hu and other key members of Blizzard North to form Flagship Studios and released Hellgate: London.

Aside from his early work as a programmer and lead designer at Blizzard North on Diablo II, Peter Hu has had a 25-year career as co-founder of Flagship Studios and Runic Games (Torchlight and Torchlight 2), Creative Director on Marvel Heroes at Gazillion, and founder/CEO of Rhino Games.

“We have huge ambitions for Moon Beast Productions and what we can achieve together,” said Co-Founder Peter Hu. “Phil and I bring a wealth of experience to the table, and we’re both extremely excited about this new project. Fans of our previous work will be hoping we stay true to our ARPG roots, and I don’t think they’ll be disappointed, but we are also working on a few big innovations with incredible potential.”

“This partnership is inspiring for me because consistently throughout our careers, we’ve both been passionate about making unforgettable game experiences,” said Moon Beast’s Co-Founder Phil Shenk. “And what we’re working on now is exactly that, but also really stretching into some innovative territory. Peter’s incredible design and technical skills and my passion for world-building and creative direction are an unbeatable combination. Not only that, but we’ve both been entrepreneurs and know what it takes to run a company. We’re just as passionate about building and a nurturing healthy, supportive, collaborative team culture as we are about making fantastic games. I’ve never been more excited about the potential for something as I am for what we’re doing here at Moon Beast!”
