Bombslinger Blows Away Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PC Today

BRUSSELS – April 11, 2018Bombslinger, the action-maze game from Mode4 filled with more explosives than a whiskey-fueled Fourth of July, launches on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PC today.

Take part in a tale of revenge right at home in the Wild West. Lead the Bombslinger, a former ruthless bandit, on a journey to avenge his missus. Blast away the Bombslinger’s merciless brother, the Gunslinger, and the rest of his heartless posse to make them pay for their betrayal.

Blow enemies to dust while clearing procedurally generated levels and upgrading the Bombslinger’s abilities. Purchase new items from the general store and go hog wild with a deadly arsenal of explosives in boss battles.

Hold your horses, though! There’s more to look forward to than a replayable tale of brotherly love gone up in flames. Take charge in an arcadey free-for-all game mode and face off against four fellow cowboys and cowgirls in high-stake bomb battles or blow AI bots to smithereens.

Bombslinger is an absolute blast,” says Ferry Keesom, co-founder, programmer and designer, Mode4. “When players face off against their friends in the chaotic multiplayer or experience the single-player campaign, they’ll recognize modern design elements incorporated into this classic genre.”

What in tarnation are you waiting for? Bombslinger is available on Switch, Xbox and PC for $11.99 USD/ €11.99 and is available in English, French, Italian, Spanish and German.

XSEED Games Unveils a “Marvelous” Lineup of PC and Console Titles

Gun-Toting Witches, Holy Grail Warriors, and New Adventures with the Shinobi of SENRAN KAGURA Headline a Year of Action, Adventure, and Surprising Feelings

Torrance, Calif. — April 11, 2018 — XSEED Games, the independent-minded publishing brand of Marvelous USA, Inc., today announced their plans to publish an exciting lineup of new and returning Marvelous titles in North America in the coming year. Continuing the publisher’s commitment to offer new generations of gamers the opportunity to experience hidden gems from the past, the year’s Marvelous offerings are set to kick off on Windows PC on April 25, 2018 with the cult-favorite action adventure title Bullet Witch, previously an exclusive on Xbox 360® games and entertainment system from Microsoft, now featuring visual and gameplay improvements to bring it in line with modern gaming standards. Following the success of Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star, Fate/EXTELLA LINK is set for release this winter on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and PlayStation®Vita handheld entertainment system, starting a new chapter on the battle for dominance over the virtual world of SE.RA.PH while adding an expanded cast of legendary heroes from other entries in the Fate series, along with added online play for the PS4™ system version.

Meanwhile, the fan-favorite busty brawler series SENRAN KAGURA will be returning to where it all began, then further exploring new ways to interact with some of its most popular characters as the series continues to expand into new genres. More than a re-release, SENRAN KAGURA Burst Re:Newal is an HD remake of the already enhanced first title in the series, SENRAN KAGURA Burst, which released for the Nintendo 3DS™ family of systems in 2013. Slated to launch on PS4™ system and Windows PC, SENRAN KAGURA Burst Re:Newal will bring a full 3D experience and fresh, new mechanics to fans of the action-focused series this fall. Complementing this release and rounding out the lineup is the latest entry in the series, SENRAN KAGURA Reflexions, released as Shinobi Refle: SENRAN KAGURA in Japan in 2017 and slated to make its Western debut on the Nintendo Switch™ in summer 2018. Feel the heartbeat of shinobi heroine Asuka via the unique properties of the Joy-Con™ controllers, and embark on an emotional rollercoaster with this hands-on narrative featuring branching story paths and introducing a brand new genre to the SENRAN KAGURA oeuvre!

“2018 is going to continue to be an incredible year for Marvelous and XSEED Games and we’re all extremely excited for this first major lineup of titles we’re announcing today,” said Shinichi Suzuki, President and CEO of Marvelous USA, Inc. “These games represent a small part of what we have in store for the year, and it’s a great example of the different types of titles that we hope we can continue bringing to Western gamers as we ourselves continue to grow. We have a great library of older titles that are ripe to be re-introduced to modern audiences and nicely complement our more current Marvelous releases, and we hope that fans will enjoy playing them as much as we’re enjoying working on them.”

About Bullet Witch
Originally released for the Xbox 360 in 2006, Bullet Witch offered a unique combination of Japanese dark-fantasy aesthetics and Western-style military action. This hidden gem is coming back and will be ready for action on Windows PC for a new generation of gamers with a host of visual and quality-of-life improvements. Take control of Alicia and her powerful, multi-purpose “gunrod” to lay waste to demonic foes by bullet or spell, even using the surrounding environment as part of her arsenal. All original cosmetic and content DLC is included in this re-release, providing access to every in-game costume immediately and adding bonus missions that expand the length of the campaign well beyond the story’s conclusion.

Slated for publishing on Windows PC worldwide by XSEED Games, Bullet Witch is headed for digital release on Steam (this link will be live at 10AM PT) and the Humble Store by Humble Bundle on April 25, 2018 with a 10% launch week discount from its regular selling price of $14.99, €14.99, and £12.99. This PC release of the title has not been rated by the ESRB.

About Fate/EXTELLA LINK
Picking up where the story ended in Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star, Fate/EXTELLA LINK expands the roster of playable Servants with 10 new legendary heroes added to the original selection of 16. These new Servants hail from other entries in the Fate series and include the likes of Astolfo, Scàthach, and Francis Drake. The high-speed action gameplay of Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star continues with improved visuals and new battle mechanics in both single-player and an added multiplayer mode supporting 4-on-4 online battles. Players will also be able to move freely around their new base camp—a medieval cathedral suspended in the sky—and interact with Servants to build bonds with them, taking on side missions that further flesh out their backstories.

Developed by Marvelous and slated for publishing in North America on PS4™ system and “PS Vita” system by XSEED Games, Fate/EXTELLA LINK will release this winter both digitally and physically on PS4™ system and digitally on “PS Vita” system. More release details will be shared at a future time. This title has not been rated by the ESRB.

About SENRAN KAGURA Burst Re:Newal
Originally released under the name SENRAN KAGURA Burst in North America and serving as a “director’s cut”-style take on the inaugural entry in this now storied series, SENRAN KAGURA Burst Re:Newal brings the prior release’s classic 2.5D action to modern hardware with a full 3D remake and a fresh retelling of the story that started it all. This fast-paced brawler will provide updated combat mechanics and character models, as well as all-new special effects for a voluptuous visual feast! The series’ popular Dressing Room mode continues to see expansions too, with a wealth of new outfits and options that allow players to customize their favorite girls’ looks and styles. With additional DLC episodes to come that will reveal new story episodes for Yumi and Miyabi detailing their histories prior to meeting Asuka and Homura, SENRAN KAGURA Burst Re:Newal delivers an authentic recreation of the original game while ensuring that series fans will have plenty of new content to look forward to!

Developed by Honey∞Parade Games, Inc. and slated for publishing on PS4™ system and Windows PC, SENRAN KAGURA Burst Re:Newal will release this fall both digitally and physically on PS4™ system and digitally on Windows PC. More release details will be shared at a future time. This title has not been rated by the ESRB.

About SENRAN KAGURA Reflexions
After brutal melees, rhythmic cooking contests, and shockingly serious water gun fights, the SENRAN KAGURA series is ready to take on the world of interactive storytelling for the first time and give players a chance to get to know the shinobi heroine Asuka in surprising new ways. SENRAN KAGURA Reflexions uses the unique properties of the Joy-Con™ to employ the art of reflexology and massage. Melt away Asuka’s worries and stresses by hand or through a variety of useful tools and explore deeper relationships than have ever been possible in the series before.

The advanced HD rumble technology provides a more realistic sense of interaction and feeling with Asuka, helping guide players to react to her signals and deliver some much-needed relaxation. Interacting with her in different ways will lead players across branching paths toward one of seven different story scenes and six unique endings—and that’s just for Asuka. Additional DLC characters including fan-favorites Yumi, Murasaki, and Ryona will be released after launch.

Developed by Honey∞Parade Games, Inc. and slated for digital release on Nintendo Switch™, SENRAN KAGURA Reflexions will launch this summer. This title has not been rated by the ESRB.

First Major Chrono Trigger Patch Released on Steam

The official Chrono Trigger PC port was met with a wall of negative feedback on Steam after Square Enix opted to port the mobile version of the game, instead of the original SNES version. Fans quickly lashed out against the Steam port, quickly dropping the Steam reviews to Mostly Negative status within the first few days. While the reviews have improved out in the past month, Chrono Trigger fans have continued to criticize the controls designed for touchscreens, the graphical issues, and the poor UI.

Square Enix is now making good on their promise to address the complaints with the first of many patches. A new “Original” graphics mode is now available for the game that is closer to the game’s original SNES look. Additionally, the game’s font, dialogue boxes, and start up sequence have been replaced to better match the SNES version.

Future patches are in the works to address other issues, including improving the UI for controller and keyboard/mouse use and increasing the cut scene resolution.

Super Daryl Deluxe Starts Class Today on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PC

Super Daryl Deluxe Starts Class Today on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PC

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – 11 April, 2018 – Super Daryl Deluxe, the RPGvania with a brawler-style combat system and hand-drawn comic aesthetic from Dan & Gary Games, awkwardly introduces itself today on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PC.

Welcome to Water Falls High School (WFHS), a prestigious and perfectly normal multidimensional educational institute, where classes are alternate worlds based on their subjects. Distill essences in giant beakers in Science or have a very weird encounter with a very drunk and naked Julius Caesar in History.

Daryl Whitelaw, WFHS’s newest student, still has a lot to learn if he wants to survive and more importantly, make friends. Students keep disappearing. The mysterious new principal sits sealed away in his office. Classrooms are on lockdown and rumors fly about the return of the little thing that almost destroyed the world 40 years ago.

Saving the day might be a stretch for someone who thinks a mullet is a fashionable haircut, but Daryl and his poor fashion sense are the last hope for the students of WFHS. Granted he’s pretty useless on his own, but with a mysterious self-help book Daryl can mix, customize, and upgrade more than 45 powers to unleash on foes.

Unfortunately for Daryl, there’s no page advising against mouth-breathing. Luckily, he can complete side quests for his classmates to try and make up for his lack of cool. Climbing the ladder of teenage judgement sucks, but if Daryl manages to get somewhere he can unlock sweet new passive abilities and other rewards.

“All I can do is look at this game and think ‘Oh no what have I done?’” said Gary Porter, Gary of Dan & Gary Games. “Our playtesters said they really like Super Daryl Deluxe, but maybe they were just trying to be nice.”

Super Daryl Deluxe is available in English for $19.99 USD and €19.99.

For more information, please visit Dan & Gary Games’ official website or follow them on Twitter and Facebook.

About Dan & Gary Games

Dan & Gary Games is an artist-programmer duo making their first trek through the wild world of game development with Super Daryl Deluxe. The game, which allows players to construct their own combat system and save the world from a vile high school administration, has allowed the two to explore and invent their own unique brand of storytelling through award-winning visuals and fluid, immersive gameplay.

Extinction Soars onto Shelves Today

Extinction Soars onto Shelves Today

Available on the PlayStation®4, Xbox One and Windows PC

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. (April 10, 2018) — Humanity must survive! Save the population from colossal giants in the new action adventure game, Extinction, available today from Iron Galaxy and Modus Games.

Play as Avil, one of the last remaining Sentinels and the only warrior equipped with the skills to take down the fearsome Ravenii. These 150-foot-tall bloodthirsty monsters were previously only spoken of in fables, but today they return with a vengeance.

“When we first brainstormed the idea behind Extinction, we thought wouldn’t it be cool to scale these giant monsters and use actual, real-time combat skills to cut them down,” said Derek Neal, Executive Producer at Modus Games. “With the help of the amazing team at Iron Galaxy, we’re so excited to finally have players put those skills to test.”

“From the very beginning, Extinction was a game about two things: strategy and combat,” said Kraig Kujawa, Game Director at Iron Galaxy.  “Every situation you encounter is going to force you to think strategically – do I battle my way through a horde of minions to save this group of civilians or do I scale up this tower to jump on the back of the ogre who’s destroying the city?”

Featuring a single-player campaign with dynamic side missions, players will be able to master ultra-flexible melee combat and gravity-defying traversal mechanics throughout the world of Dolorum.

Other features include:

  • Skill-Based Combat. Travel horizontally and vertically, perform wall runs, and use your whip as a vault to execute devastating air assaults. Master dynamic combat manoeuvres to effectively traverse the giant beasts and expose their weak points, progressing along different skill trees to develop a path best suited to your playstyle.
  • Interactive Environment. Move freely around a fully destructible environment and use objects throughout the world to your strategic advantage.
  • Innumerable Battle Scenarios. Every battlefield is different from the last, ensuring a unique combat situation each time you play.
  • Skirmish Mode. Create unique battlegrounds and challenge players online to compete for the top score.
  • Extinction Mode. Fight off a continuous horde of assailants as wave after wave of ogres and their minions attack without relent.

Extinction launches today on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One and Windows PC, digitally and in stores. Its first DLC titled “Jackal Invasion” drops in May and is available to purchase separately or as part of the “Days of Dolorum” Season Pass.

Black Desert Online becomes more Magical with the Addition of Fairies

Black Desert Online becomes more Magical with the Addition of Fairies

Amsterdam, The Netherlands – 10th of April, 2018/ Pearl Abyss and Kakao Games have announced today that Black Desert Online players can soon enjoy the long-awaited fairy system which will go live tomorrow after this week’s maintenance.

Fairies are peaceful creatures that enjoy the flowers under the grace of Queen Theiah. One day, a golden rift broke open in the fairy world. Unable to resist its own curiosity, Laila bravely embarked on an adventure and tumbled into the world of Black Desert. Players can seek Laila fairies as a companion in their journey by completing a recurring quest. Each can learn different skills that benefit their characters and makes life in Black Desert Online more pleasurable.

To give more character and personality, Melissa Hutchison was chosen to cover Laila’s in-game voice. The talented voice actress is known amongst many gamers for her work on Telltale’s The Walking Dead series where she has voiced the main character, Clementine. She also delivered the voice work for League of Legends’ champion Ashe. She can be heard in a new trailer that highlights the new content.

Laila exists in 4 different tiers, where the tier indicates the maximum level of which the fairy can grow towards. At every 10 levels, Laila will be able to obtain a random skill. All fairies automatically learn and equip the Luck +1 skill which increases the chance of obtaining rare items.

Her skills can help in numerous ways, the most obvious being a lantern function to help players navigate dark places. Other skills include auto purified water consumption which is ideal for desert survival, underwater breathing, instant resurrection without penalties, and last but not least, auto potion consumption when HP is low.

Adventurers can grow and level their Laila by feeding her equipment such as Rocaba and Grunil or the item Sweet Honey Wine, which is a craftable item in Black Desert Online. The level cap for the highest tier fairy is 40.
