FOCUS HOME INTERACTIVE & PASSTECH GAMES’ CURSE OF THE DEAD GODS COMING TO STEAM EARLY ACCESS MARCH 3

Claim your fortune before corruption conquers you in this new roguelike action game!

PARIS — Feb. 6, 2020 — Focus Home Interactive and developer Passtech Games have announced that Curse of the Dead Gods will release on March 3, 2020, via Steam Early Access. This roguelike action game delivers an adventure full of intense combat, challenging content, and a variety of weapons, relics, curses, traps, enemies and powerful bosses to master.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1123770/Curse_of_the_Dead_Gods

Seek untold riches, divine powers, and eternal life — then rise to fight again when your greed leads to death. Delve deeper into accursed temples, seemingly-infinite labyrinths of bottomless pits, deadly traps, and malignant monsters and deities. Collect mystical relics and an arsenal of weapons to make yourself unstoppable, but beware the corruption building inside you with each step forward — these curses promise great power, but demand a high price…

“At the start of EA, players will have access to what can be considered as about a third of the final content in production,” said Sylvain Passot, CEO at Passtech Games. “However, since each game is different with a large share of randomness, there is a lot to discover in this first segment. Curse of the Dead Gods is a modular game with great replayability, and we believe that early access will make the most of it!”

Early access will kick off a new roadmap of frequent updates with rich content and improvements based on community feedback, including new temples to explore, each with their own unique look, traps and enemies, plus new game modes, mechanics, weapons, curses and relics.

Curse of the Dead Gods will be showcased at this year’s PAX East from February 27 to March 1 at the Focus Home Interactive booth (#29017).

Baron: Fur is Gonna Fly Soars Onto Switch, XB1, PC on 4 March

PERTH, AUSTRALIA – 6 Feb. 2020 – Baron: Fur is Gonna Fly, the high-flying party showdown from Dogmelon Games, barrel rolls onto Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Steam on 4 March, 2020.

Fight for the skies against up to seven other players using gatling guns, freeze rays and anvils to take out rival pilots, all while the wind blows through your fur, feathers or scales. Spin, dive and loop through cascades of bullets and avoid perilously crashing to the ground below to become ruler of the skies.

Responding to the call to arms, animals have taken to the skies in cutting-edge early 20th century aviation technology – biplanes. Fulfil their solemn duty by taking each other down in wacky combat and bringing glory to their species in literal aerial dogfights. Choose between eight cartoony critters such as Baron von Fluffe-Botte, a high-flying sausage dog or Colonel Hock, a motherly pig following her dreams of flight. These heroes each come with their own style, voice and old-timey victory theme. 

Looking fly in styles of the period choose from four, semi-historically accurate aircraft. Each has its own stats balancing weight, handling, speed and armor, empowering ace-pilots or budding flyers to select the perfect plane for their aerial antics. Further customization comes from upgrading the biplanes stats between rounds, and changing up equipped special weapons.

While the aircraft may be historically accurate, animal pilots excluded, the weapons are hilariously not. If the basic barrage of bullets isn’t enough, equip one of more than 13 outlandish weapons to blow other critters out of the sky. Get explosive with the colourful Balloon Bomb, spew forth hot victory with the Flamethrower or simply repulse away the competition with the Stinky Fish. Crashing is only a minor setback as pilots return to the sky mere moments after their defeat to continue the aerial hijinks.

The variety of multiplayer and singleplayer modes might call for a bigger couch. Create an alliance to take down agile foes in team co-op, or embrace aerial chaos with in free-for-all. Solo ace-pilots can hone their skills in training mode or compete to get the highest score in Sheep Attack by rounding up flying sheep, putting an end to their aerial menace.

“In between crafting all the animal puns we can handle we’ve focused on capturing that chaotic couch multiplayer feeling,” said Anthony Wiese, Lead Developer of Dogmelon Games. “Our aim from the start was to make Baron as much ludicrous fun as possible and from players reactions so far we’ve done just that.”

Baron: Fur is Gonna Fly will be available for $20 USD on Steam for PC, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One. Languages include English, Chinese and Japanese for Steam, with more to be added post-launch.
