Side Scrolling Strategy Game Arrives Next Month for Windows PC

May 20th, 2021 — Pixeye Games is excited to announce its upcoming base defense strategy game Until We Die will launch June 3rd for $16.99 on Steam!

Until We Die is a post-apocalyptic strategy game where the remaining survivors find refuge in the Moscow Underground after a global disaster. Command wards to gather supplies and turn an abandoned station into an impregnable fortress-colony capable of resisting any threat.

To win, you have to survive for roughly 30 game days, fending off a series of attacks on your base — small packs of creatures at first, but by the end you’ll be up against a sweeping horde of mutants. The game will end in defeat if our hero Ivan dies during the run; or if the power generator (the heart of the base) is destroyed.

Features:

• Run around and dispense valuable orders to your subjects that await your commands.
• Build fortifications, research technology to secure your base further and defend more effectively.
• Send expeditions to the surface.
• Attack mutant lairs to secure new land for farms and tents.
• Gather supplies from crates and extract food from mushrooms and anything else that looks edible… wasn’t there a meaty-looking rat that just ran down the tracks?

Until We Die will debut next month on Windows PC, with a Nintendo Switch edition in the works for a subsequent release as well.

Use Strategy, Glamour, and Devious Tricks to Attract the Biggest Spenders and Take Your Casino from Back Alley Poker Spot to King of the Las Vegas Strip!

Paderborn, Germany (May 20, 2021) — Do you have what it takes to design, build, and manage a successful casino? It’s not as simple as it sounds! Try your own hand at the casino game in Grand Casino Tycoon, now available on Windows PC via Steam! Aerosoft, a prolific publisher of best-selling simulation titles, and developer stillalive studios are inviting players to take on the role of a virtual Sam “Ace” Rothstein as they bring to life their vision for the ultimate casino from blueprint to the strip — designing, building, and operating a deluxe house ‘o cards so magnificent, so opulent, and so enticing that everyone from wannabe cardsharps to billionaire CEOs will want to walk through the doors and empty their pockets.

“Grand Casino Tycoon is inspired by classics of the genre, but we’ve taken things in a new direction with all sorts of fresh and fun mechanics,” said Winfried Diekmann, CEO of Aerosoft. “It’s still a game about building a business, but with some original strategy and humorous elements sure to keep players coming back for more.”

“We set out to make a title that took all the popular tropes of the tycoon genre — planning, building, and operating a business — but that was also funny and endearing,” said Julian Mautner, CEO of stillalive studios. “These extra elements of humor and fun characters add an entertaining layer to a deep ‘observe-and-adapt’ business management sim. They created Grand Casino Tycoon.”

Watch the Grand Casino Tycoon launch trailer here: 

The casino business is about one thing and one thing only: lining your suit pockets with wads of sweet, sweet hard-earned cash. But not your hard-earned cash, of course. In order to do this, you’ll need to plan out the perfect casino floor. Make sure there are plenty of shiny, exciting slot machines for your less… wealthy patrons, along with a bar and some easy access snacks. The real money comes with the VIP guests: professional players, billionaire CEOs, and the occasional secret agent. Entice them to drop some dough by building the more traditional casino table games like roulette, blackjack, and…you guessed it…poker! Keep ‘em spending with a constant supply of fancy cocktails and energized by delicious meals from top-quality chefs. However, don’t forget to utilize all your security options to keep ‘em from collecting too many chips — the House always wins, after all.

Grand Casino Tycoon Key Features:

• Plan, Build, Manage: The classic tycoon formula will task players with overseeing every step of the process, from designing the layout to monitoring the day-to-day activities 
• Players Gonna Play: Everyone wants to win, but preferences will vary. Ensure a successful business by catering to every level of customer: slot machines for the basic bunch, craps and blackjack for the high-flyin’ elite — there’s something for everyone in between! 
• Big Brother is Watching: Use security cams, pit bosses, and other manipulation tactics to keep a close eye on who is playing, but more importantly, who is winning 
• Two Different Modes: Not everyone wants to play in the cutthroat world of the Vegas strip; Grand Casino Tycoon offers two modes of play so that everyone can enjoy the experience the way they want: Campaign Mode and Custom Casino Mode 

To celebrate the launch, the team at stillalive studios is currently hosting a Steam Store livestream to showcase the gameplay, demo the new content and features, and show off their polished casino-building skills. Now is the time to see Grand Casino Tycoon in action! 
 
Published by Aerosoft and developed by stillalive studios, Grand Casino Tycoon is now available for Windows PC via Steam for $24.95 USD with a special limited-time 20% off launch week discount.

After a successful launch, Spaceteam’s shenanigans invites players back to their space station with in-game surprises, a brand new avatar and a non-VR version.

LEEDS, United Kingdom| May 20, 2021 — Cooperative Innovations is proud to announce that Spaceteam VR will have a special anniversary event starting Friday, May 21. Players will be able to obtain a special new avatar by logging into the game and playing with others. Other exclusive in-game goodies will also be unlockable. The event will continue until Monday, May 24, so make sure that you log in to get your hands on an exclusive all-new Alien skin.

Alongside the anniversary event, players are now able to sign up for Spaceteam: The Second Dimension. For the first time, players will be able to experience Spaceteam without a VR headset. Team up with friends — or complete strangers — and see how much of the galaxy you can take in before your ship begins to fall apart; or worse.

In Spaceteam, up to six players are in charge of maintaining a spaceship and travelling as far as you can. However, the spaceship you’re flying has some… eccentricities. Teamwork is key, as you blast away alien invaders, scream to your teammates to switch knobs, hammer on your control panel (literally) and put out fires. Chaos has rarely been this much fun. No VR headset? No worries! Why not sign up for the exclusive closed beta? It’ll be showing on a poorly constructed HUD near you in the not-too-distant future. Fly the spaceship together with your friends and strangers in both Spaceteam ‘The Second Dimension’ and Spaceteam VR – cross-play between both games is enabled!

Livestreamers will also be able to use LIV for a more immersive viewing experience. Support for this software will also launch this weekend.

Spaceteam VR is in the final stage of development for PSVR, Cooperative Innovations will be able to share more news on the release soon.

For those looking to continue the fight following the free weekend event, Beyond The Wire will be available at a 35% discount. 

Beyond The Wire recently received its biggest content drop yet — with the release of the much anticipated For King and Country update, this added 2 new factions, the British Expeditionary Force and the Harlem Hellfighters, 3 large distinct maps across Séchault, Poelcapelle and Combles and a range of new weapons to master and storm the frontlines with.

Nostalgia gets a contemporary spin in the retro-inspired, 2D pixel art fighter

Torrance, Calif. — May 20, 2021 — Aksys Games announced today that Blazing Strike, the 2D fighting game from developer RareBreed Makes Games, is coming to consoles and PC in spring 2022. Inspired by classic arcade fighting game series from industry greats such as Capcom and SNK, Blazing Strike evokes the excitement and nostalgia of 2D pixel art genre pioneers while incorporating a unique games system with modern mechanics.

“As the interest in fighting games continues to grow, we’re excited to see a title that explores new ideas in fun and creative ways while tipping its hat to grandfathers of the genre,” said Akibo Shieh, founder and CEO of Aksys Games.

“I was always fond of classic fighting games and I wanted to make a fun fighting game with an emphasis on mobility,” said Mark Chung, founder of RareBreed Makes Games. “Our goal is to create an homage to the classic pixel art-based 2D fighters, but with updated game mechanics that not only will bring nostalgia to 90’s arcade kids but will offer something new and entertaining to all gamers, regardless of whether they have played fighting games before.”

Blazing Strike features a 4-button system with six normal attacks: light, medium and heavy punches and kicks, as well as three defense moves: block, guard and parry. A Rush Trigger enables fighters to execute fast-paced attacks and movements, but using it will slowly drain the Rush Meter, sending the character into a temporary groggy state. This allows players to execute exciting combos while having to manage the Rush Meter. The gamewill include three play modes: Story Mode, Arcade Mode and VS Mode, with training, sparring and online match via Persona AI, and online play powered by GGPO.

Blazing Strike has not yet been rated by the ESRB. To stay up to date on all the news, follow Aksys Games on Twitter and Instagram at @AksysGames, and join our Thursday livestreams on Twitch at aksysgames, with stream highlights and trailers on our YouTube channel.
