Brutally Hardcore Iterative Platformer Lands on Switch, Windows PC and Mac on August 13

IRVINE, Calif. — June 25, 2019 — 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 you’re made of — in more ways than one — 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 — 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 “Give Up” button to circumvent failure — 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 Grumps’ Egoraptor (Arin Hanson) and colorful carnage illustrated by Jimp.

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

PARIS, FRANCE – June 25, 2019 – 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 world’s greatest role-playing 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, rolling for abilities and personal stats. Players will journey through the mystical realms of Solasta, unraveling 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.

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!

“Tactical 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,” says Mathieu Girard, founder of Tactical Adventures and Creative Director of the game. “We 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.”

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.
