Lode Runner Legacy Steals Onto Nintendo Switch

Lode Runner Legacy Steals Onto Nintendo Switch

Latest addition to Lode Runner series brings signature action puzzle gameplay to a new generation of fans

Bellevue, Wash. – March 29, 2018 – Lode Runner Legacy, the newest installment of the beloved 1983 Lode Runner series, is back-and better than ever! The modernized classic is now available for download on the Nintendo Switch, and can be purchased for $11.99 USD/€11.99 EUR. A free demo is available so new players can see what all the excitement is about.

“The original Lode Runner was the first game to feature a level editor, to which our new Craft Mode pays homage,” says Scott Tsumura, co-founder of Tozai Games. “When Lode Runner came out on the Famicom system in 1984, it also was the first third-party game to sell over a million units. Lode Runner Legacy really is about our appreciation of how important Lode Runner is in the history of gaming–literally, its legacy.”

In Lode Runner Legacy, players control the Runner, solving puzzles to regain stolen gold from the Evil Empire’s labyrinth. Each puzzle is a unique challenge to the player’s puzzle-solving and strategic techniques. The game features a brand new Two-Player mode, in which players can team up offline using two Joy-Cons or a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. Teammates must work together to defeat each level-and their cooperation is rewarded handsomely with prizes impossible for a single player to capture. The Two-Player mode also has online rankings, so play in perfect harmony and aim for the highest score in order to make it onto the board!

Additionally, players can flex their creative muscles in Lode Runner Legacy’s most unique new feature: Craft Mode. Players can create original levels, characters, and items, which can then be shared online with players around the world, making Lode Runner Legacy one of the only Nintendo Switch games with user-generated content sharing. Share your original level and characters or play other players’ levels in World Levels mode, and “Like” the best ones!

Lode Runner Legacy includes countless features and game modes for players to explore. Players can regain stolen gold from the Evil Empire in Adventure Mode, or play enemy-free puzzle levels in Puzzle Mode. Additionally, Lode Runner Legacy comes equipped with 150 of the original Lode Runner levels in Classic Mode, as well as several hidden levels for players to uncover. All in all, there are 300 levels for players to beat as well as any new levels posted online, providing players with limitless hours of entertainment.

LONDON, UK – 29 March 2018 – Videogame publisher Rising Star Games today announced it will be publishing in Europe the much-anticipated brand new title from Yasuhiro Wada, Little Dragons Café. The game launches as a physical release and digitally across Europe and beyond in summer 2018 on PlayStation®4 and Nintendo Switch™.

It is a partnership born of a respect that Wada-san creates great gaming experiences. We know that Little Dragons Café is another one of his gaming classics and we’re delighted to be the publishing partner of choice”.

Little Dragons Café is the latest tour de’ force from Yasuhiro Wada, founder of the Harvest Moon series. The story begins with a twin brother and sister running a small café with their mother. All was peaceful and routine until one morning the twins discovered that their mother fell into a deep sleep and wouldn’t wake up. Suddenly, an old wizard appears and tells the twins that their mother is gravely ill and that they must raise a dragon in order to save her. Working together with their three quirky staff members (waiter, waitress, and chef), the two siblings must raise a dragon and manage the family business while at the same time discover what is causing their mother’s illness and find a cure.

Little Dragons Café gameplay features:

Raise your very own dragon! 

  • Embrace your nurturing instincts and raise your own dragon! Through wise decisions, proper nutrition, and empathetic nurturing show the world the true potential of your dragon companion!

Create culinary masterpieces and run a successful café 

  • Learn new recipes and master the art of cooking while running your café. Explore the world, discover new ingredients, and expand your menu (and your restaurant!) while catering to the whims of your customers.

Farm the land and harvest nature’s bounty 

  • The best dishes use the freshest ingredients, and the best way to insure that is to grow your own produce. Till the land and fish the rivers, and gather the most flavourful fixings for your signature dishes.

Serve the townsfolk, make them happy!

  • Not only cook for the people in your town, but also help them with their problems to increase your popularity and the general happiness of everyone around you.

Developed by Aksys Games and TOYBOX Inc. and published across Europe and beyond by Rising Star Games, Little Dragons Café is scheduled for physical and digital release in summer 2018.

Cult Classic JRPG Ys Origin Launches with Exclusive Content on Xbox One April 11th

Cult Classic JRPG Ys Origin Launches with Exclusive Content on Xbox One April 11th

An all-new mode and violence control options kick off the Ys’ franchise debut on Xbox One

PARIS – MARCH 28, 2018 – Retro cult JRPG Ys Origin lands on Xbox One on April 11th marking the debut of the franchise on the Xbox platform. Featuring exclusive content for Xbox One players, Ys Origin fans will be able to play an all-new speedrun mode as well as a new ‘blood option’ which lets the players choose the blood quantity that best suits their gameplay tastes.

A new trailer released today showcases the first footage of Ys Origin’s speedrun mode, as well as several of the iconic bosses players will face as they conquer the Devil’s Tower. Launched in 2017 on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita from developer and publisher Dotemu, Ys Origin quickly earned high review scores and fan praise for its authentic adaptation to current gamers.

In Ys Origin, it is 700 years before the events of Ys I & II, and the land of Ys was on the brink of destruction. Demons came in droves and forced the twin Goddesses who ruled the land to whisk their subjects away from the surface, into the safe embrace of the clouds. The demons were persistent, however, erecting a massive tower in pursuit. The battle that raged upon the ground had begun ascending for a second round up above.

The fast-paced action and epic boss battles will present fans with a unique vantage point of the earliest days of Ys and the new speedrun mode will allow players to share their results on Xbox Live leaderboards to compete for the fastest Ys Origin player in the world.

Explore a deeply involved mystery and unlock secrets through creative puzzles as you trek through a memorable arcade-like platformer and unravel the engrossing story of Ys.

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, 2018 – Set 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.
