LIONBITE GAMES’ RAIN OF REFLECTIONS LAUNCHES SEPTEMBER 20 ON STEAM

LIONBITE GAMES’ RAIN OF REFLECTIONS LAUNCHES SEPTEMBER 20 ON STEAM

Explore a future dystopian world of complex characters, choices and turn-based strategy encounters in this ambitious new adventure game

STOCKHOLM Aug. 19, 2019 — Indie studio Lionbite Games has revealed that the story-driven adventure game Rain of Reflections will launch on Windows PC via Steam on Sept. 20, 2019. Delve into a richly layered dystopian world, survive nail-biting turn-based strategy encounters, hack systems to open new ways forward, meet a cast of strong-willed characters and make decisions that will shape the future.

Rain of Reflections: Chapter 1 – titled “Set Free” – follows Wilona, a scientist trying to cure a global epidemic of infertility. When Wilona begins to have doubts about the morality of the experiments she’s running on the world’s lastborn child, she sets off a life-or-death quest across the pristine towers of the wealthy elite, the flooded slums of the underclass, and the cold, sterile halls of the state’s laboratories.

Throughout your journey, you’ll engage in turn-based strategy encounters in destructible environments with a range of tactical options, including stealth, dialogue and combat. You’ll also breach computer systems, crack locks and eavesdrop on radio communications through a variety of hacking puzzles.

Your words matter, too. Dialogue choices can convince, defuse or outsmart other characters in a variety of fully voiced conversations, which may have serious consequences down the road. They can also influence the motivation of your allies and enemies in combat, helping to change the tide of battle at a critical moment.

Rain of Reflections’ ambitious story will feature multiple chapters, each a full tale in itself, adding layers to the world while showing completely new and fresh areas and gameplay through different perspectives. Chapter 2 – “Open Eye” – will follow a deadbeat private investigator in a cyberpunk district called The Cluster, while Chapter 3 – “Undercurrent” – will shed light on the Infrared underground resistance movement and its front figure, Imra.

TACTICAL ADVENTURES SET TO LAUNCH KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN AND FREE DEMO FOR SOLASTA: CROWN OF THE MAGISTER SEPTEMBER 3!

French independent developer Tactical Adventures announced today its latest project, tactical role-playing game Solasta: Crown of the Magister will be available to back on Kickstarter through its campaign launching September 3 on the crowdfunding platform. In addition to the Kickstater launch Tactical Adventures will be launching a FREE PRE-ALPHA DEMO on Steam available to everyone during the Kickstarter campaign.

Solasta: Crown of the Magister is an immersive Tactical Role-Playing PC Game where a player’s choice dynamically changes the adventure. The journey begins with creating a team of four explorers, selecting their race, class, background story, roll for abilities and personal stats. Players will journey through the mystical realms of Solasta, unravelling a story that spans multiple worlds. The dynamic and mysterious world of Solasta features brand new elements of verticality, allowing players to use their surroundings as an element of strategy. Position ranged characters on high vantage points or send your thief down into shafts and caverns to scope out what’s ahead. Utilize light as a tool to explore the depths and hollows of dungeons or use it as a weapon against the creatures of the dark. Solasta is a unique team-based adventure where each character plays a critical role in the campaign and can be a hero. Players must take advantage of each character’s strengths and weaknesses if they are to succeed.

Solasta: Crown of the Magister Features:

  • Verticality: Solasta is a three-dimensional world rather than a series of flat maps. Locations can be explored by climbing walls, flying, teleporting, crawling through tunnels, finding secret passages, or falling through unstable ground, and allow the player to use the environment to take on encounters in multiple different ways.
  • Team Based Adventure: Players will have many options to choose races, classes, backgrounds, and can even roll for stats as they create their party. All members are essential – together you will adventure through Solasta as a group, where you must work together in pursuit of your quest.
  • Light: Light will not only help to see your surroundings as you explore deep underground or in a dungeon. It can also be used as a weapon against dragons and creatures you encounter along your journey. Careful, though – light can also give away your position.

Solasta: Crown of the Magister will be available to support and back on Kickstarter September 3.

Stay up to date with Solasta: Crown of the Magister: visit the website and Steam, follow on Twitter, Instagram, like on Facebook, watch on YouTube, and Twitch, and join the conversation on Discord.

Meet Your Party in GreedFall’s New Companions Trailer!

Spiders Studio’s upcoming RPG GreedFall will let you forge your destiny on uncharted lands when it arrives next month, but this is one voyage you won’t be making alone. Today’s new Companions Trailer from Spiders and Focus Home Interactive shines a light on the unique party members that will join you on your adventure, your relationships with them, and the different stories they have to tell.

How you deal with new situations as an explorer and diplomat will define your hero’s story, and the company you choose to keep plays a big part in that. Each of the companions you meet belongs to one of GreedFall’s many factions or guilds, and these organizations all have their own ambitions and prejudices, so think through your actions carefully.

Beyond the influence of their faction’s goals, each companion has their own personal quests, too. Ignore them for too long, and they may choose to leave you. Help them, and you could have an ally – or lover – for life. Your companions will notice what you say and do, so consider their reactions before committing to a decision.

Be mindful when picking which two companions to bring with you, as well: each has their own special skills to offer. If you suspect a challenging fight ahead, for example, consider taking Coin Guard mercenary Kurt, who can be kitted out as a tough front-line warrior. But be careful when negotiating with a faction one of your companions is antagonistic against — your choices will shape not only the world of GreedFall, but also the lives of those in it.

GreedFall launches on Sept. 10, 2019, on PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and Windows PC. Pre-orders are live now on all platforms at http://greedfall.com/shop.
