Action RPG Xuan Yuan Sword 7 showcases epic combat in new trailer

0

Coming to PlayStation and Xbox One September 30th

Hong Kong – September 9th, 2021 – Developer and publisher eastasiasoft just released a new gameplay trailer for Xuan Yuan Sword 7, showcasing the game’s combat ahead of its PlayStation 4 and Xbox One release on September 30th. Here we get to see a smattering of player character Taishi Zhao’s flashy combat moves, eerie mythological enemies, and monster summoning abilities in action.

The console versions of Xuan Yuan Sword 7 were announced at the end of April as a collaborative effort between eastasiasoft, SOFTSTAR, and DOMO Studio, and will be coming soon to console players in the west for the first time in the history of this 30-year-old saga.

In the newest installment of the series, players will follow the standalone story of Taishi Zhao and enjoy dynamic, real-time combat, which makes Xuan Yuan Sword 7 the perfect entry point for new players. 

Retail editions will be produced in partnership with Maximum Games, available at all major retailers in North America, Europe and Australia or directly from Maximum Games starting October 12th.

Xbox One digital pre-orders will open on September 16th.

Xuan Yuan Sword 7 is a truly epic adventure through Chinese mythology, and we wanted to showcase some of the mesmerizing monsters you’ll face off against when the game launches on September 30th,” said Joshua M French, Community Manager at eastasiasoft.

About Xuan Yuan Sword 7

Set 2000 years ago in China near the end of Western Han rule, Xuan Yuan Sword 7 places players in the role of noble swordsman Taishi Zhao following the trail of a mysterious bamboo slip from the crypt of Marquis of Liu that promised prosperity, but only brought famine and misery in its wake. To protect his family and seek out the truth of this calamity, Taishi Zhao embarks upon a journey through a mythological realm full of otherworldly beings bent on his destruction. 

Along the way, Taishi Zhao must master a host of fighting techniques. Armed with the Elysium Scroll, he can slow down time, absorb monsters, or alter the environment. Upgrade your armor and weapons, develop passive skills, and learn new techniques. Block, dodge, and riposte your foes as you journey through this haunted realm.

Xuan Yuan Sword 7 is a celebration of ancient China’s landscape, civilization and culture, infused with the mystique of its own legends. With a story deeply rooted in ancient Chinese history and mythology, Xuan Yuan Sword 7 reimagines both as one fantastical and chaotic realm under the governance of a new Xin Dynasty. Witness the final destiny of the Mohists who believed in an ancient philosophy of logic, rational thought, and science that was once as popular as Confucianism in China 2200 years ago.

The Godz are happy

Kraków, Poland – September 9, 2021. All in! Games is excited to reveal that Arboria, the first 3D action roguelite with soulslike combat, developed by Polish indie developer Dreamplant Studio, is now available for PC on Steam for $19.99 / €16.79 / £15.49 , with 15% off until September 16. The release marks the end of the Trollz-like fantasy game’s time in Early Access and will be accompanied by one final, major update.

Early Access was extremely fruitful for Arboria. The game has undergone hefty changes in order to achieve a robust, release-worthy state. Up until now, ten major updates brought numerous new mechanics, weapons, locations, NPCs, and much more.

Games. “Dreamplant has done a tremendous job during the Early Access period with a slew of updates that have significantly enhanced the game experience. The response from the game community is excellent and so we are confident roguelite fans will not be disappointed.”

Arboria is our bizarre love child, an amalgamation of so many influences, including Norse mythology, tribal cultures, sci-fi and fantasy,” said Marcin Szwed, CEO at Dreamplant Studio. “We are truly humbled that so many people sympathize with the unique, hard on the eyes trollz as much as we do. The community has supported us and helped us shape the game throughout Early Access, and we cannot be thankful enough for that. Join us in the world of Durnar for the weirdest dungeon crawl you’ll ever experience. And in the end, in spite of all the human-imposed genetic modifications, maybe nature will find a way to restore the original order.”

Arboria puts you in the role of a Yotunz warrior who must descend into the ever-changing tunnels of Durnar to collect Veri and heal The Father Tree. Fight, die, and repeat. Creepy monsters hide around every corner, fight your way through with Symbiotic Weapons, please the Godz, and restore the power of your tribe.

2D Espionage and Deception Action With a Retro Vibe

Baltimore, MD – Sept 9th, 2021 – indie publisher Versus Evil in partnership with Independent developer Unepic_Fran are excited to announce that their 2D stealth action game UnMetal is coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and popular PC stores Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG on September 28th. The game is also playable on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S.

UnMetal is driven by a narrative that piles on the 80’s movie and TV nostalgia which it combines with UnMetal’s top down 2D pixel-art visuals for a distinctly retro feel, tasking you, the player, to conduct a covert mission to escape a clandestine military base for a crime you didn’t commit

Players assume the role of Jesse Fox, a civilian inadvertently embroiled in an unplanned mission to prevent an attack on NATO. Shot down, captured and questioned, Fox needs a way out with all the cunning and guile he can muster. 

Players conduct their subterfuge to escape incarceration by combining and crafting various objects discovered in the game world, including toilet paper (unscented, unpatterned and single ply), circuit boards, rusty wire and even a guards eye patch and glass eye.

Distraction, sabotage and combat will all come into play, and Fox will encounter a variety of adversaries including enemy soldiers, attack dogs, hungry rats and bigger more formidable heavily armed military hardware like tanks. 

The ability to level up with new found skills improving attributes like strength and speed and completing various sub challenges in the game improve the chances of success though.

You can start your own escape on all the major console stores late September, and UnMetal will also stealth onto Steam, GOG, Epic Game Store, Humble Store, Gamesplanet., VersusEvil.com and all other approved Versus Evil PC retailers.
