Studio GoldKnights reveals brand new “The Last Oricru” Gamescom trailer

Sydney, Australia 31^th August – Prime Matter and GoldKnights are excited to reveal a new glimpse of gameplay of their upcoming debut title, the action RPG “The Last Oricru”. The Last Oricru releases digitally in 2022 on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, and drags players into a bloody civil war of supremacy on Wardenia. The single player and co-op experience combines meaningful story choices with a demanding skill-based combat system that will challenge players both 1-on-1 and in mass battles against multiple enemies.

It’s dangerous to go alone – The Last Oricru offers a co-op system that can be accessed after the tutorial for the entirety of the game. A hop-in/hop-out system allows a second player to jump in to the action at any time and drop out again just as easily. A level match makes sure this offers a smooth experience. The co-op system offers another integral layer to the game and allows for special chain reactions with your co-op partner, new paths & puzzles that can be tackled and even special boss traps that couldn’t be activated alone.

To celebrate the occasion Prime Matter and GoldKnights have launched the The Last Oricru’s Steam page and we would like to invite players to check it out and wishlist the game:

About Dolmen

Dolmen takes place in a sci-fi universe where humanity has colonized several star systems using space travel technology and genetic manipulation to adapt to the conditions.

The Revion system is far from the main inhabited area of the galaxy, but drew the attention of Zoan Corp. for emitting radiation that’s different from other systems, suggesting the existence of other universes. There is only one planet in this system, named Revion Prime.

Before the events taking place, there was no evidence of the existence of other dimensions. The scientific and military interest behind this discovery could destabilize the existing political balance but, more than that, research on Revion Prime also revealed the existence of an alien species called Vahani; whose apparent job it is to roam the universes helping other species to evolve. Their interests are obscure and it remains to be seen if the creation of xeno-species could have been influenced by them. The player needs to discover the secrets of Revion Prime and the Dolmen crystals.

Long ago, the Evertree held the countless Worlds of Alaria on its branches, the infinite possibilities of natural beauty stretching across its boughs. Yet now those worlds have faded, and the Evertree has been reduced to a mere sapling by the mysterious Withering. One hope remains: the last remaining Everheart Alchemist, an ancient lineage granted the task and privilege of caring for the Evertree.

Springing forth from the recent cozy gaming movement, Grow offers a journey of creation, nurture, and community, all at a relaxing pace. Take a first look at what this entails in this new “What is Grow?” video debuted during Gamescom courtesy of IGN. Learn the intricacies of Alchemy and generate unique new worlds, from meadows and forests to deserts and frozen tundras, each with their own fantastical flora and fauna.

Spelunk in caves, solve puzzles, go fishing, catch bugs, and foster communities, listening to people and helping them with their everyday lives. Choose from a large catalog of structures and build towns rendered in Grow’s brilliant colors and adorable art style. Cozy up and succumb to the relaxing aesthetic and a complementary score courtesy of BAFTA award nominee and Crunchyroll Award winner Kevin Penkin (Florence, Tower of God, Star Wars: Visions).

Eager to become an Everheart Alchemist early? Sign up today for limited closed beta access at http://505.games/GrowBeta. Wishlist Grow on Steam to contribute to 505 Games’ and Prideful Sloth’s initiative to plant trees with their partners at #TeamTrees and the Arbor Day Foundation.

“We loved instilling a sense of peace in our players with Yonder, and we want to continue that feeling with Grow,” said Cheryl Vance, Game Designer at Prideful Sloth. “We wanted Alaria to be a place where the player feels welcomed. That the worlds they grow, and the towns they build, are unique and personal to them. That it becomes their own home away from home.”

Grow: Song of the Evertree launches on PC Via Steam, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on November 16, 2021, for $24.99/€24.99/£19.99. A physical Nintendo Switch edition will be available in retail stores for $29.99/€29.99/£24.99 in February 2022.

Putt your skills to the test and swing your way out of Golf Purgatory in 2022

Golfenburg, Sweden – August 30th, 2021 – Thunderful Publishing & independent developer Chuhai Labs are excited to announce Cursed to Golf, a roguelike golf adventure that tasks the player with ridding themselves of an ancient curse and making it out of Golf Purgatory to become a Golfing Legend. With its beau-tee-ful pixel art, hole-some story and innovative gameplay, Cursed to Golf is a real hole-in-one. Launching in 2022 for PC and Nintendo Switch, check out the brand new reveal trailer for Cursed to Golf:

You play as The Cursed Golfer, trapped in Golf Purgatory after a lightning strike stops you in your tracks just as you are going to take the winning putt in an acclaimed golf tournament! Unfortunately there are no mulligans in life, so to lift the curse and ascend back to the land of the living, you’ll need to play through the 18 dungeon-like holes Golf Purgatory, a feat only possible for a true Golfing Legend. Divided into 4 distinct biomes, each area of the course is governed by a ghostly Legendary Caddie, who will aid you on your quest for redemption and revival. Are you up to par with the mythical challenges of Golf Purgatory…? Will you ever be able to reclaim your corporeal form…? Will you be crowned a Golfing Legend…? Or will you forever be… Cursed to Golf!?

Cursed to Golf offers a fresh take on the golfing and roguelike subgenres. Played like a golfinated turn-based 2D side scrolling puzzle platformer, attempt to survive each hole by reaching the flag within the PAR Count; a designated amount of swings you have to reach the end. If the PAR Count reaches zero you’ll get sucked through a purgatorial vortex back to the beginning of the course. While classic golf obstacles like the water hazards and bunkers will make an appearance, you’ll also come across high powered fans, spikes, vines, TNT boxes, teleporters and a whole load more variables that can be a help or a hindrance on your way to the hole. It’s all par for the course in this twisted take on the classic game!

With all those devious traps and pitfalls you’ll definitely need a helping hand. Use Birdie-Eye to catch a view of the Hole and see what trials lie ahead. PAR Count running low? Luckily,  gold and silver Shot Idols are peppered throughout the holes, smashing through them with a cinematic flourish will replenish your shots. Every pro player also has an ace up their sleeve, and in this game you have a whole deck! Ace Cards will turn the odds back in your favour, offering you otherworldly powers to manipulate the game in incredible ways. Rewind time with a Mulligan, shoot a triple ball Scattershot, slow down time and redirect the ball with a U-Turn or control the ball in mid-air at high speed with a Rocketball. With over 20 Ace Cards in your arsenal, look forward to some un-fore-gettable gameplay moments. 

Cursed to Golf offers players a new experience every time they step out onto the course. Offering the surprise of a roguelike challenge and the precision of traditional handmade level design. Chuhai Labs have created over 80+ holes of unique and varying challenge, that are randomly-ordered to make up a new challenging course every time you jump in.

“It’s incredible to finally reveal Cursed to Golf to the world. I got so much feedback and support from the original concept on itch.io that I wanted to go all out and create the ultimate version of that initial idea,” said Liam Edwards, Game Director at Chuhai Labs. “I can’t wait to see how people react to the game when it’s in their hands. I can confidently say that it’s the best roguelike golf adventure set in Golf Purgatory that you’ll play in 2022 — by par!”

Wishlist Cursed to Golf on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1726120/Cursed_to_Golf/

Cursed to Golf will launch in 2022 for Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam).
