HARNESS THE ASHES OF WAR IN DARK FANTASY RTS GOLEM GATES, LAUNCHING TODAY ON STEAM FOR WINDOWS PC

HARNESS THE ASHES OF WAR IN DARK FANTASY RTS GOLEM GATES, LAUNCHING TODAY ON STEAM FOR WINDOWS PC

Hybrid Strategy Game from Former Epic Games and Marvel Studios Talent Combines Real-Time Strategy with Card Battler Elements for Fast-Paced Arcane Warfare

APEX, NC (MARCH 28, 2018) Laser Guided Games LLC — an independent developer made up of industry veterans from Epic Games — and Hollow Earth Inc., the studio responsible for character design in blockbuster Marvel films Black Panther, Spider-Man: Homecoming and the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War, are proud to officially launch today their dark fantasy real-time strategy game Golem Gates on Steam for Windows PC! Golem Gates is a wholly original strategy game set within a lore-rich world where players can experience a thrilling single-player campaign and go to war online with and against friends.

“We’re beyond excited to launch Golem Gates today and introduce a game that we feel will resonate with a variety of strategy game fans,” said Matt Oelfke, Founder and Lead Developer at Laser Guided Games. “Our four months in Steam Early Access enabled us to shape this original concept into an approachable yet layered experience that anyone can learn. We’re excited to say hello to new players and show existing owners of Golem Gates just what we’ve accomplished thanks to their help.”

“From the beginning, we knew that we wanted Golem Gates to stand out,” said Josh Nizzi, Head of Hollow Earth Inc. “Together Laser Guided Games and Hollow Earth crafted a game that not only has unique gameplay mechanics but is set within a world steeped in mystery and lore. Players are in for some big surprises throughout the campaign. We look forward to hearing what they think!”

Set within a desolate land ravaged by ancient wars, Golem Gates sees players embark on a quest for redemption as The Harbinger. He of unknown origin is an outcast in a world shrouded in living darkness, cursed by a corrupting force known as the Unbound. When a voice reaches from the unknown, The Harbinger awakes to learn his purpose: to destroy the Golem Gates. Imbued with power over The Ash — nanites which permeate the atmosphere — The Harbinger manifests a legion of war machines known as golems which he commands. Lead him to his destiny; end the reign of the Unbound, crush the Golem Gates and reclaim life itself.

Golem Gates uniquely combines real-time strategy with card battler elements for quick, accessible gameplay that emphasizes visceral combat without sacrificing player-driven strategy. Players collect cards (called Glyphs) and strategically weave them into a deck, enabling full customization of their unit and support loadouts ahead of battle. The Harbinger is a ruthless commander, meaning battles are fast-paced and require on-the-fly tactical decisions to decimate the opposition. In addition to an epic single-player campaign and remixed mission objectives in the form of Trials, players can take their glyph decks online in various competitive and cooperative multiplayer modes.

Key Features:

  • Dynamic Diversity: Create your own unique battle plan to counter your opponents with nearly 100 collectible card game inspired Glyphs, including units, buildings, traps, buffs, debuffs and techs, that provide nearly limitless strategy options.
  • Multiple Modes: Experience the evolving story of Golem Gates’ single-player campaign and take the fight online with friends in cooperative and survival-based modes.
  • May the RNG Gods Smile Upon You: Randomized Glyph drawing puts a slightly different spin on every battle by eliminating monotonous build sequences, while rewarding deck building mastery and strategic planning chops in equal measure.
  • Streamlined Strategy: Build and enhance your forces with Glyphs; no production or research buildings are needed. Capture resources in King of the Hill style skirmishes without dedicated gathering units and keep your focus where it belongs — on the battle.
  • Fight Where You Have Sight: Glyphs can be played almost anywhere you have an existing presence. Add more forces to a battle to turn the tide, transform a scouting party into an army, place emergency defenses to respond to the enemy or hide an outpost in a direction the enemy doesn’t expect. The choices are yours but beware: the enemy will do the same and with the right Glyph, your forces can be destroyed as quickly as they were created.

Laser Guided Games and Hollow Earth will be in attendance at PAX East 2018 in Boston, Massachusetts at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center (BCEC) from April 5 – April 8, 2018 to talk all things Golem Gates and showcase the launch version of the game to attendees. Get an inside look into the game by visiting them in the Indie Megabooth area (Booth #14079).

Golem Gates is now available for purchase on Steam for Windows PC at a 20% off launch week sale price of $23.99 (from $29.99) at http://store.steampowered.com/app/575970/Golem_Gates.

Bon Voyage! Island Time VR From Flight School Studio To Launch April 3

Bon Voyage! Island Time VR From Flight School Studio To Launch April 3

Comical Survival VR Game to Release on PlayStation VR, Oculus, HTC Vive and Steam VR

Dallas March 28, 2018Set sail for the adventure of a lifetime as VR survival game Island Time VR from Flight School Studio is launching April 3rd for PlayStation VR, Oculus, HTC Vive and Steam VR for $14.99. To celebrate, Flight School has released a launch trailer showcasing a day in the life of surviving on a tiny virtual island.

Island Time VR is a humorous approach to being shipwrecked on a deserted island and challenges players to survive as long as possible. Using their wit, ingenuity and the advice of their new buddy, Carl the Crab, players will craft tools, fend off pesky creatures, cook food and do their best not to perish. Lending to the madcap atmosphere of Island Time is Kinda Funny’s Greg Miller, the voice of Carl the Crab.

“I have no business being a voice actor, so I was blown away when Flight School reached out to have me voice Carl,” said Greg Miller, Co-Founder of Kinda Funny Games. “Then, imagine my surprise when the game turned out to actually be great! It’s been an honor to be part of a game that’s engaging, funny, and a great example of what VR can be.”

Island Time VR is comprised of an event system that determines when and what amounts of resources are made available to players. Survivors then use their expertise to perform tasks to stay alive until resources are restocked. If time allows, survivors might be able to enjoy a beautiful tropical sunset and forget that they’re in a desperate struggle for existence.

“Flight School is focused on pushing technology to entertain those wanting new virtual experiences, especially for VR and AR,” said Adam Volker, Creative Director at Flight School Studio. “Island Time VR provides players with fun survival challenges that push players to think creatively about ways to stay alive. We’re excited to see what solutions people come up with to survive in the game, and we’ll fold all the things we learn into our next VR experience.

HEROES OF RINGS: DRAGONS WAR LAUNCHES ON MOBILE

HEROES OF RINGS: DRAGONS WAR LAUNCHES ON MOBILE

Kongregate’s newest mobile title has a nice Ring to it…

SAN FRANCISCO, March 28, 2018 – Kongregate, a leading publisher of mobile, PC, and web games, teams up with Spanish indie studio Codigames to launch Heroes of Rings: Dragons War, the turn-based, free-to-play RPG, on iOS & Android devices.

Heroes of Rings: Dragons War starts players on an amazing 3D island, tasked with saving the world from evil creatures intent on destroying the Pillars of Creation. The turn-based RPG is driven by a compelling Hero collection structure and unique battle system. Players will develop complex strategies based on the Heroes they use, their skills, and the turns remaining until the enemies attack. Each Hero is customizable with “Rings,” special items that can be upgraded and combined to unleash a Hero’s true potential. Players can participate in Arenas and Raids to win resources and fame, and challenging monthly and weekly events complement the intense and engaging PVP modes.

“They’ve built gorgeous characters, stylized in a way that really demonstrates the ’90s cartoons that influenced them,” said Mael Novat, Kongregate producer, “from the eccentric mix of animals, humans and technology to the quality of the animations and bold colors. Whether you are in the middle of an enchanted forest or a Japanese temple, their unique style gives a magical vibe to the universe.” 

Heroes of Rings: Dragons War also provides support for augmented reality — players can watch their battles unfold in front of them. Thanks to Apple’s ARKit, players can become a part of the action, move in between their characters and experience the game from a new point of view.

Heroes of Rings will be our seventh game since the company was born in 2013,” said Francisco Martínez, CEO at Codigames. “Heroes of Rings’ game modes are based on learnings from those games. All the visual details and careful attention to battle mechanics are a direct result from the love born in those games.”

Players can download the game for free on Android and iOS today and find additional information about the game on the official Facebook and Twitter accounts.

DRAGON BALL FighterZ DLC LAUNCH TRAILER NOW AVAILABLE

DRAGON BALL FighterZ DLC LAUNCH TRAILER NOW AVAILABLE

DLCs feature new characters

BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe have revealed the launch trailer of the first DLCs for DRAGON BALL FighterZ. These DLCs will be available on March 28th. Broly and Bardock, two of the most iconic DRAGON BALL characters, will each be part of one of the DLCs and come up with five alternative outfit colours, a lobby avatar and a Z-Stamp.

Broly is one of the last survivors of Frieza’s attack on Planet Vegeta that eliminated almost all Saiyans. The Legendary Super Saiyan’s huge physique grants his attacks an impressive reach and enormous power. His Meteor Ultimate Attack Gigantic Meteor lets him hover over his opponent and instantly unleash a huge blast of energy.

The father of Radditz and Goku, Bardock has perfected his skills as a mighty warrior in numerous battles – a character that’s easy to learn but hard to master. Extending his combos takes skill, but his invincible and deadly rush attacks are extremely difficult to counter. His Meteor Ultimate Attack turns Bardock into a Super Saiyan, channeling the might of the mysterious alien race.

Both characters will also be part of the FighterZ Pass, which gathers a total of 8 new fighters. Broly and Bardock will each feature a highly dramatic scene which are shown in the new trailer.

DRAGON BALL FighterZ is available for Xbox One, PlayStation®4, and PCs via STEAM.

THE SWORDS OF DITTO REVEALS LOCOROCO CROSSOVER QUEST

THE SWORDS OF DITTO REVEALS LOCOROCO CROSSOVER QUEST

– Preorder on PS4 & PC and Get 20 Percent Off Before April 24 Launch –

Independent developer onebitbeyond, SIE Studios Japan, and Devolver Digital have revealed a PS4-exclusive LocoRoco crossover quest in The Swords of Ditto. The upcoming adventure RPG / roguelite hybrid is available to preorder now on PlayStation 4 and PC with 20 percent off the $19.99 price up until the April 24 launch [http://theswordsofditto.com].

The special quest will task intrepid adventurers with entering a secret cave and wrangling up all the loose LocoRocos while defending themselves from the classic Moja Troop baddies. Complete with familiar music, sound effects, and even singing, any triumphant heroes will find themselves with a truly worthy reward!

The Swords of Ditto creates a series of unique, compact adventures for a new hero every 100 years in a seemingly never-ending struggle against the evil Mormo. Players will awaken as one of the chosen adventurers and wield the legendary sword of the land through a dangerous and ever-changing overworld, diabolical dungeons, and secret lairs, ascending Mormo’s tower to face off with the evil witch herself. Retrieve powerful new toys, slap on perk stickers, and complete side quests to fill out your inventory as each new run is different from the last.

The only constant is the sword itself, as experience and power gained for the sword in each adventure carries over to the hero’s successor. Take down Mormo and the world is a happier, brighter place, but failure puts Ditto and its poor citizens into a dark, crumbling version of their world. Make this journey alone or invite a fellow champion for local cooperative play on both PlayStation 4 and PC.

The Swords of Ditto developer onebitbeyond was created by former creative director at Curve Studios Jonathan ‘Bidds’ Biddle and boasts a roster of top game development veterans thrilled to work on their first project together. Based out of London, onebitbeyond have been working on The Swords of Ditto since late 2015 and will be demoing the game at PAX East 2018 in April.

Excited adventurers can follow the game’s progress and latest news as theswordsofditto.com or @onebitbeyond on Twitter.
