GOOD SHEPHERD ENTERTAINMENT AND CREATIVEFORGE GAMES RELEASE NEW GAMEPLAY BREAKDOWN TRAILER FOR PHANTOM DOCTRINE

GOOD SHEPHERD ENTERTAINMENT AND CREATIVEFORGE GAMES RELEASE NEW GAMEPLAY BREAKDOWN TRAILER FOR PHANTOM DOCTRINE

Your Decisions Matter in This Cold War Strategy Thriller, Coming Aug. 14 to PlayStation®4, Xbox One and Windows PC

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, and WARSAW, Poland Aug. 1, 2018 – Good Shepherd Entertainment has released a new gameplay breakdown trailer for Phantom Doctrine, the turn-based espionage strategy game from independent developer CreativeForge Games, creators of Hard West. As the leader of a covert organization battling a global conspiracy at the height of the Cold War, you’ll have to master operating in the shadows against overwhelming odds. Train your agents, investigate new cases, and research cutting-edge tech from your base, then infiltrate enemy facilities, eliminate their assets with stealth or brute force, and uncover their schemes.

Phantom Doctrine will launch on Aug. 14, 2018, on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One and Windows PC via Steam and GOG for $39.99. The game will be available with a 10% launch discount across all platforms. PC players can also purchase the Deluxe Version of Phantom Doctrine, which includes the game’s soundtrack and a digital art book (available separately for $9.99), for $45.99.

As part of the game’s special launch campaign, anyone who purchases the game on Steam or GOG.com within two weeks of its release will automatically be upgraded to the game’s Deluxe Version free of charge. In addition, PC players who own Hard West on Steam or GOG.com will receive an additional 5% discount when they buy Phantom Doctrine within the first two weeks after release (which stacks with the launch discount for a combined 15% discount).

Phantom Doctrine’s deep single-player mode offers two different perspectives: experience the story as a KGB counterintelligence operative or a renegade CIA commando. Players can unlock New Game Plus runs of the game’s 40-hour campaign with additional story content, or challenge rivals around the world in ruthless one-on-one online multiplayer matches. Phantom Doctrine captures the subtle tension and intrigue of classic Cold War spy films with atmospheric visuals and an unnerving soundtrack from award-winning composer Marcin Przybylowicz (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt).

Airheart: Tales of Broken Wings Review

Airheart: Tales of Broken Wings

Developer: Blindflug Studios
Publisher: Blindflug Studios
PlatformsPlayStation 4 (Reviewed), Switch, Xbox One, PC
Release Date: 24/07/2018
Price: $14.99 – Available Here

Overview

Ready for some rogue-like action with an airplane? Airheart: Tales of Broken Wings from indie developer Blindflug Studios might be the right game for you then! Visit floating cities in the sky, fight pirates and go sky-fishing. We visited this strange world above the clouds that came right out of Steam Early Access and tell you why this refreshing idea can get very frustrating sometimes.

Story

After an introduction we find ourselves in control of Amelia, who is a young pilot and fisherwoman in a flying city called Granaria. She wants to conquer the skies and hunt the legendary Sky Whale, following her father’s dream. Unfortunately over the years there are now a lot of pirates roaming around and sky-fishing got really dangerous. Good thing that you can modify your airplane with some weapons and defend yourself to fulfill this dream! Unfortunately as interesting as this plot sounds, in the game it only gets a minimal amount of space. I mean why wouldn’t you tell this great story in detail?

Gameplay

In Airheart: Tales of Broken Wings our mission is to fly higher and higher. While the first levels are pretty simple and you get to learn the mechanics of the game, difficulty raises significantly later on. In every level you’ll find a variety of fish to hunt and mean pirates. I mostly flew around in circles and tried to get good shots at my enemies using the twin-stick-mechanics. After that I started to gather the collectables as of course it was way easier doing it finishing those intense fights in the air. When a level is cleared we can advance to the next one and as mentioned already, it gets more difficult. This means in most cases that there are more pirates waiting for you.

If you want to be successful in the higher levels, it’s necessary to modify your airplane with one of the over 40 available weapons and upgrade the parts. While hunting fish and fighting against pirates we collect the necessary resources for the crafting system of Airheart: Tales of Broken Wings. While exploring the different levels, we also have to take care to not attack other airplanes as this might result in a cop-plane chasing us. This game can really create chaos on the screen with pirates, fish, cop-planes and random planes including myself flying around. This is where also some kind of frustration takes place – often I felt that I can’t really can influence all of my moves and so I definitely crashed more than once. Then I thought twice about it and remembered: Hey it’s a rogue-like!

The great thing about Airheart: Tales of Broken Wings though is the feature to save your progress with a very unique method. After a pirate destroyed you or you crashed your airplane, you’ll fall down and can navigate your damaged plane to land in Granaria. This makes sure you don’t always have to start from scratch with every death. Great idea! Besides the weapons we use for our defense against the pirates, there is also a hook available. The hook helps us to remove armor plates from turrets or larger planes and we can use it to drag loot and fish too. In Airheart you’ll also have to deal with bosses and you better get into this fights with your best equipment as they are really tough. As in other games too, you’ll have to find the weak spots and learn their attack pattern. If you die, it can also happen that the game takes away your hard earned weapons and modifications, really frustrating! But yes, I remember, this is a rogue-like.

The crafting system wants us to discover all recipes by ourselves. So basically what this means is that we have to sacrifice a part of our materials for the hope of a good result. This is why you literally pick up everything that you find during your expedition. You never know the recipe you’ll discover next and what materials you’ll need for it. On one hand I think this is an interesting approach on the other hand I think it adds more frustration to the game. There is just no other word for it if you’ve spent a big part of your materials without any results.

Visuals & Audio

Visually I really liked Granaria. The so called dieselpunk world looks great and includes nice details. The electro music soundtrack is great and gives you a nice feeling while discovering unknown skies. It also changes the higher you get during your playthrough. One thing that could need improvements are the sound effects – compared to the music they really don’t deliver at all.

Overall

You might have already guessed it, but in the end I had unfortunately only little fun with Airheart. I love the idea but I couldn’t get familiar with the rogue-like approach. I think the game lacks the right balance to also offer non-hardcore players a great and fun experience. There’s too much to lose and not enough rewards to keep me motivated.

REND™ EARLY ACCESS NOW AVAILABLE ON STEAM® WORLDWIDE

REND EARLY ACCESS NOW AVAILABLE ON STEAM® WORLDWIDE

Strategize, Dominate, and Ascend in Epic Team-Based Fantasy Survival RPG Inspired by Norse Mythology 

IRVINE, CALIF. – July 31, 2018 The army of the gods continues to grow to massive numbers with the Steam Early Access release of Rend, the fantasy team-based survival game, available today on PC for $29.99 USD. Players worldwide can join one of three factions and work with teammates to survive the vividly beautiful, yet brutal shattered remains of Midgard. Victorious teams will earn their right to ascend to Valhalla as honored heroes and bask in the glory of victory while collecting earned rewards. Rend pairs RPG mechanics, sandbox elements, factional combat, and massive battles with win/loss conditions to introduce a new gaming experience to the survival genre.

Rend is being developed by Frostkeep Studios, an independent game studio founded by a team of veteran game developers – Solomon Lee, Mat Milizia, and Jeremy Wood – who met working together on the original World of Warcraft before moving on to other successful game titles like Overwatch and League of Legends. Frostkeep Studios plans to take advantage of this Early Access period to continue receiving constructive community feedback to further improve upon Rend.

“Since we first announced Rend, we have been developing it side by side with our players through Pre-Alpha and Alpha testing and by gathering feedback through Discord and our official channels,” said Jeremy Wood, co-founder and CEO, Frostkeep Studios. “Our goal has always been to transform the way players interact and participate in survival games while delivering on the fantasy that they have come to expect from this genre.”

Added Wood, “We have created a unique space that doesn’t feel like any other game in the survival genre and while this marks a significant milestone for our studio, we’re only just getting started.”

Rend takes inspiration from the motifs of ancient Norse mythology to bring players a colorful world of epic battles and survival-based gameplay. To accommodate the various gameplay styles, Rend will host official servers – including Conquest servers that eliminate the magical shield protecting each faction’s base – as well as support private servers for players who are interested in customizing the game’s rulesets and their overall in-game experience.

“We’re making Rend for the players, not for us,” said Mat Milizia, co-founder and creative director, Frostkeep Studios. “We’re excited to see how the community will continue to make an impact on the game’s development during the Early Access period.”

F1 2018 Gameplay Trailer Takes New Features for a Test Drive

MAKE HEADLINES IN F1® 2018 

First Official Gameplay Trailer Showcases Stunning Visuals, New Features and Game Depth

Larkspur, Calif. – July 31, 2018 – Codemasters® has released the first full gameplay video for F1® 2018, the official videogame of the 2018 FIA Formula One World Championship™, which reveals the incredible depth and feature set of this year’s game. Launching onto PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, the Xbox One family of devices including the Xbox One X and Windows PC on August 24, 2018, F1® 2018 lets you follow the path and career of an F1® driver like never before.

Featuring the most in-depth career mode ever seen in the franchise, 20 classic cars from the history of the sport, and new stunning visuals, F1® 2018 takes F1® gaming to the next level.

The new trailer is available to view now at www.youtube.com/formula1game.

“This is the most complete F1® experience that Codemasters has ever created,” said Game Director Lee Mather. “The Career mode is the central point of the game and has been greatly expanded with the inclusion of pressurized press interviews that will directly affect your path through the sport. There is also far more flexibility for the player, including the ability to select your own rival and negotiate team moves during the season. The Career mode also expands the player’s research and development options, with each F1® team now having its own unique technology tree with differing strengths and weaknesses. What’s more, F1® 2018’s Career will also feature significant rule changes between seasons during the Career for the first time.

“The game’s handling has also been reworked using real world F1® data to give us new suspension and chassis physics, as well as the introduction of manually deployed ERS. This all means that the cars feel great to drive and you can really feel the difference between the modern cars and the 20 classics there are in the game. There is a huge contrast between the low aero, low grip cars from the 1970s compared to the 2018 cars.”

As well as improvements to the career, classics and simulation, F1® 2018 has also undergone a significant graphical uplift with the inclusion of new visual elements, including environmental mist, heat haze, track mirage effects, new engine heat haze and off racing line dirt kick-up which brings it even closer to the real sport.

When playing online, the game’s new Super License system is designed to minimize the effects of poor driving in multiplayer races. Players are rated on their skill levels and driver etiquette and then matched with other gamers of a similar ability and driving style.

F1® 2018 is the official game of the 2018 FIA Formula One World Championship™ and features all of the official teams, drivers and circuits from the thrilling season. This includes the return of the iconic Hockenheimring and the addition of the FORMULA 1 PIRELLI GRAND PRIX DE FRANCE at the Circuit Paul Ricard.

This just in – a gripping testimonial from an average cup of black coffee, brought to you by Televisor, an organization devoted to the eradication of all things flannel and neck beardy, and makers of the new App, Hipster Attack. The mission behind Hipster Attack is to shed light on the unjust acts committed by the neck bearded menaces against society and destroy them. Today, we bring you the story behind the coffee – what was once just plain cup of joe, sometimes with a bit of milk and sugar, has now been sullied by the hipster community. For more information and to help, please watch the below video, download it and spread the word.

WARNING – This video may feature sensitive content, not suitable for the emotionally fragile.

Hipster Attack is a new tower defense game in the vein of a certain plant-themed zombie killer, but instead of undead terrors, you’re battling mindless lemmings that obsess on trends, ironically of course, while trying to look like they’re “deeply” unique. That’s right, much worse than a blood-thirsty zombie, scientists call their kind “hipsters.” Players command a squad of brave and loyal workers from janitors to top-level HR managers in a fight against legions of hipsters who are trying to take over the local coffee shop.

Start out small, using your HR reps to fling job applications at the vinyl-spinning foes, then bolster your forces by adding resource-generating coffee makers (which also fire gobs of coffee beans as an alternate weapon!), sleepy (yet highly efficient) security guards, maids with mauling mops, and more!

Hipster Attack Key Features:

  • Hipsters of all Shapes and Sizes: From the trendsetter, to poet, to the music master and …. the horrific being known only as flying tofu. The game abounds with a variety of hilarious hipsters to destroy!
  • Unconventional Weapons and Abilities: Use your HR reps to chuck job applications and wads of paper at the hipsters! Players can power up coffee makers to shoot donuts at incoming enemies, cast the ‘Statue of Hipsterity’ to freeze hipsters in place, or set an ‘urban trap’ filled with stylish sunglasses and hot espresso as bait.
  • Variety of Characters: Players start out with the junior HR employee, but as they progress through levels, they’ll get a higher level corporate team to take on the hipster onslaught. Utilize security guards, the logistics senior, and even the cleaning lady, to protect the coffee shop.
  • Built-In Tongue in Cheek: Use tons of different weapons to take down the incoming waves of moustache-twirling, vinyl spinning hipsters. Hit ’em so hard that it knocks their $200 second-hand-store 80’s era denim vests right off! In-game economy is based off of two types of resources: coffee and money. Coffee provides energy and cash is motivation for workers — what more do you need?
