Old timey arcade shooter Bartlow’s Dread Machine adds seafaring adventure in August update

Introducing Marie Curie and her patented Radium Expulser!

Seattle, Washington – August 25th, 2020 – Tribetoy and Beep Games, Inc. have released a new update to their old timey arcade shooter, Bartlow’s Dread Machine, currently on Steam Early Access. The full version will launch this Fall on Xbox One and Steam.

This August update adds adventures of a nautical variety in an all new chapter To Sea! Hop aboard a steam vessel in this oceanic voyage to Central America. This all new episode introduces playable heroine Marie Curie and her patented Radium Expulser, with the ability to reduce monsters to radioactive debris. Take hold of ironclads in pitched battle on the high seas! In addition to the new content, this update brings about a host of bug fixes. An all new age of seafaring adventure awaits!

Bartlow’s Dread Machine’s unique setting allowed us to run hog wild with eccentric curios from the dawn of the Electric Age,” said  Matthew Hoseterey Co-Founder and Director of Design of Tribetoy. “This latest update offers high-flying naval combat as players take to open waters. Bon voyage!”

Set entirely within the confines of an early 20th-century parlour game cabinet, Bartlow’s Dread Machine casts one to two players as government agents in a series of escapades through New York, San Francisco, and all across the continent as they seek to rescue the kidnapped President Teddy Roosevelt from the forces of evil. But beware, sinister forces are at work! 

Bound to the clockwork gizmos running this contraption, agents are mere metal figurines roving around on rails. But these aren’t any ordinary tin toys as they have free rein on how to navigate these forking networks of tracks. Think Pac-Man if he were made of metal, wore a cool peacoat, and was packing some serious heat! Sets made of wood and tin unfold around you in real-time as you navigate this immersive puppet show. Encounter a cast of improbable monsters and historical characters as you traverse the high seas and beyond using trains, ships and even a newfangled automobile!

The final game features a wealth of content with 6 worlds, 52 guns, and all manner of outfits to deck out your gumshoe. Unlock unique spins on historical characters, like Zombie General Custer and Annie Oakley. Plus the drop-in / drop-out couch co-op contains per-player difficulty, allowing each player to set the challenge level to their preference. 

Available now on Steam Early Access for PC, Bartlow’s Dread Machine is priced at $14.99 USD and will be available in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese.

InnoGames launches Forge of Empires on Microsoft Store

InnoGames, Germany’s leading developer and publisher of online and mobile games, announces that the global strategy hit Forge of Empires is now available on Microsoft Store. Microsoft Store is the primary distribution platform for apps that can be used across all Microsoft Windows 10 compatible devices, reaching over 1 billion monthly active devices worldwide. This will allow even more users to play the successful strategy game with a focus in Europe and the United States. 

Microsoft is supporting the launch with an additional promotion. The Microsoft Store will prominently feature Forge of Empires over the next several months in coordination with seasonal in-game events. Users will not only be able to see the game highlighted on the home page, but also on the game page, in the newsletter and as a special integration in the start menu when clicking on the Windows button, among other features. 

“We are extremely excited to have Forge of Empires be available on Microsoft Store. We saw the potential and have been working closely with the Microsoft team for some time to make this a reality,” says Funda Yakin, Director Media and Market Development. “We are continuously on the lookout for new channels to bring our games to people around the world and the Microsoft Store with its massive reach in over 240 markets enables us to do just that.” 

Forge of Empires is available in over 20 languages, which together also make up the majority of Microsoft Store traffic. While the focus is in Europe and the United States, the partnership has presented new geographies, including Latin America and Asia. Additionally, small preliminary tests were conducted in the Nordics in preparation for this launch. 

InnoGames’ team prepared Forge of Empires for the launch by creating a Microsoft-native application. This was done by wrapping existing workflows and processes, which enabled a quick turnaround and supports easier adaptation in the future. 

Forge of Empires is free to play and available on the Microsoft Store as well as for browser and mobile for Android and iOS.
