IRVINE, Calif. โ€” June 25, 2019 โ€” Developer Massive Monster (The Adventure Pals) and publisher Armor Games Studios have announced they will release Never Give Up on Nintendo Switch. This brutally hardcore platformer that lets you see what youโ€™re made of โ€” in more ways than one โ€” will launch on Switch through the Nintendo eShop, as well as Windows PC and Mac via Steam and GOG.com, on August 13, 2019.

The next generation of the hit Give Up game series, Never Give Up is a death-defying, twitch-based platformer packed full of vicious traps and hazards designed to turn you into bloody goo โ€” but the only way out is through! Never Give Up is the biggest installment in the franchise yet, with over 150 bite-sized stages of buzzsaws, guided missiles, giant rhino mechs, huge boss battles and more.

Success only ups the challenge: every time you beat a level, another element is layered in to make it even harder. With even a single misstep spelling doom, Never Give Up may make you rage, but with treacherous platforming to master and a โ€œGive Upโ€ button to circumvent failure โ€” even death is a blast.

Never Give Up is made for speedrunners with built-in leaderboards, ghost racing and splits timers for tracking and perfecting your route with each iteration. There are also tons of costumes, collectibles, secrets and humor to discover, made even better with the voice talent of Game Grumpsโ€™ Egoraptor (Arin Hanson) and colorful carnage illustrated by Jimp.

TACTICAL ADVENTURES ANNOUNCES NEW TACTICAL RPG SOLASTA: CROWN OF THE MAGISTER COMING TO PC

You Make The Choices. Dice Decide Your Destiny. Back Solasta: Crown of The Magister on Kickstarter Later This Year


PARIS, FRANCE โ€“ June 25, 2019 โ€“ French independent developer Tactical Adventures announced today its latest project, tactical role-playing game Solasta: Crown of the Magister, is coming to Steam. Solasta: Crown of the Magister embraces the ruleset of the worldโ€™s greatest role-playing game where a playerโ€™s choice dynamically changes the adventure. The journey begins with creating a team of four explorers, selecting their race, class, background story, rolling for abilities and personal stats. Players will journey through the mystical realms of Solasta, unravelingย 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 whatโ€™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 characterโ€™s strengths and weaknesses if they are to succeed.

Players will have the opportunity to get in on the adventure before it even starts when Tactical Adventures launches its Kickstarter campaign at the end of summer. Players will be able to back Solasta: Crown of the Magister on Kickstarter and link arms with the developers, joining the Solasta community and being rewarded for doing so!

โ€œTactical Adventures is a small team comprised of Tabletop gamers, many of whom have been playing pen and paper games as well as D&D videogames for over 30 years,โ€ says Mathieu Girard, founder of Tactical Adventures and Creative Director of the game. โ€œWe have always dreamed of creating our own game, so we set out to create Solasta, taking the best elements of our favorite games and enhancing and building upon them. Additionally, we have added new features such as light, verticality, team-based adventure, dice rolls, etc. We are using the actual rulesets from Tabletop games to finally bridge the gap between Pen and Paper and videogames.โ€

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.
  • Tactical CRPG: Each encounter can be handled in multiple ways. Will you use the high ground to strike your enemies from above as a Darkweaver Rogue, or shove your enemies into deep chasms as a Mountaineer Fighter? Your choices alone will determine the destiny of your party.
  • 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.
  • Created by Tabletop Players: Tactical Adventures is a team of highly experienced Tabletop players and veteran game developers who are passionate about the genre, striving to create the best Tactical RPG videogame
  • Kickstarter: Tactical Adventures is giving players the opportunity to be heard by joining the community and backing Solasta on Kickstarter.  The campaign will feature an amazing tiered reward system and the team is already working on a demo of the game.

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

Atelier Ryza Localization News Coming June 27

It looks like the internet darling Ryza is now going to have a Western release window as Koei Tecmo has released an English teaser trailer that basically announces that Atelier Ryza: The Queen of Eternal Darkness and the Secret Hideout is getting a Western release since it is the same exact video as the Japanese version and features the incredibly popular main character.

No exact name for the Western release has been given yet but the full reveal is set to occur on June 27th. Currently we know that the Japanese version of the game is set for release on the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC and will follow the tomboyish Reisalin Stout, called Ryza by her friends, who wishes to go on a journey.

New Utawarerumono Game Revealed

No official name, platforms, genre (likely RPG), or release window were given for this new Utawarerumono game but the full reveal is set for July 2nd where it will be interesting to see if this game will tie into previous entries in any way.

Disaster Report 4 Plus: Summer Memories Announced for Western Release

Back in 2011 a massive earthquake and tsunami struck Japan and caused massive damage and loss of life so it only made sense that a game such as Disaster Report 4 would have been in poor taste so the game, which was in development back then, was cancelled. Well over the recent years Disaster Report 4 Plus: Summer Memories was officially released in Japan and now NIS America has announced that the game will be heading to the West for the PlayStation 4, PC, and Nintendo Switch in early 2020.

On a calm summer day turns into catastrophe when a massive earthquake strikes your city, throwing buildings and lives into chaos. In order to survive, you must navigate familiar locations under unfamiliar circumstances. The fellow survivors you meet and crucial decisions you make will affect the course of your experience and ultimately determine how your journey through this crisis will end.

Silver Chains Coming to PC on August 6th

Headup Games and Cracked Heads Games announced today their first person horror game Silver Chains will launch on PC on the 6th of August. It will be available via Steam, GOG, and other major digital distributors. A console release for Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One is scheduled for Q4 2019, with an exact date being revealed closer to launch.

Silver Chains is set in abandoned manor in rural England. After being knocked out in accident, our hero Peter wakes up to find himself in the manor with something lurking in the shadows. Peter has the vague feeling he’s been in the manor before, but he can’t seem to remember. Players will need to explore the manor and solve its many puzzles to unlock its secrets, all while a terrifying monster hunts Peter down mercilessly.

Cracked Head Games also released a brand new trailer for Silver Chains along with the launch date announcement. The short trailer is pretty standard for the horror genre, with plenty of tense music, creepy environments, and a jump scare.
