Focus Home Interactive and Enigami released the first gameplay trailer for their upcoming action-RPG Shiness: The Lightning Kingdom today. The trailer walks players though the game’s combat system, which features 1 vs 1 combo based combat from fighting games with traditional RPG elements like magical abilities.

The five playable characters and their special abilities are also introduced in the video. These special abilities will be key in solving the many puzzles players will encounter while exploring the world. Players are heavily encouraged to wander around the world of Shiness, as new abilities are found in parchments scattered around the world.

Kickstarted in May of 2014, Shiness: The Lightning Kingdom is scheduled to launch sometime this year. Supported platforms still have not been announced.

Idea Factory International has released a new set of screenshots for the game and details regarding Fegor who, despite her lazy exterior, is a powerful fighter that was instrumental in setting up her brother as the king of the Underworld.

She will rise once more to help out her younger brother in combat when Trillion: God of Destruction is released for the PlayStation Vita on March 29th in North America and April 1st in Europe.

Softenni! Anime License Acquired by Sentai Filmworks

Back in 2011 a rather off-the-wall but enjoyable comedy series called Softenni! began airing and it seems that five years later it will be making its way overseas as Sentai Filmworks has announced that they have acquired the license for the series and will be releasing it on home video and through select digital outlets sometime in the future.

Softenni! originally began as a manga series in 2008 by Ryo Azuchi and this “soft tennis” comedy follows the story of Asuna Harukaze, a girl with an almost obsessive love for soft tennis, a popular form of tennis developed in Japan using softer, rubber tennis balls. Together with her equally quirky (and sometimes overly enthusiastic) teammates, Asuna does her best to return the challenges that school life and tennis training launch at her!

STARDOCK RELEASES MERCENARIES, THE FIRST EXPANSION TO GALACTIC CIVILIZATIONS III

New Expansion Adds Mercenary Bazaar, New Factions, New Ships, and More

Plymouth, MI. – February 18, 2016 – Today, Stardock released Galactic Civilizations III: Mercenaries. The first expansion to its popular 4X space strategy game adds a new campaign, Galactic Bazaars, new races, the ability to recruit elite units with special abilities, new ship parts, and more.

In Mercenaries, players will be able to visit new Galactic Bazaars where they can hire mercenaries to assist in expanding across the galaxy. With several new mercenary ships and multiple Bazaars to discover on each map, the expansion offers hours of unique gameplay.

“Once they’re gone, they’re gone,” said Paul Boyer, Lead Designer of Galactic Civilizations III. “When a mercenary is hired by a civilization in a game, it is no longer available to the others. You will need to act quickly and choose wisely in order to get the best mercenaries and leave your enemies without.”

The campaign for Mercenaries centers around the peaceful Torian race who have long been enslaved and farmed for their meat by the cruel Drengin. Explore and discover mercenaries, then hire them to aid in escaping the oppressors. Liberate the Torians and help them rebuild their shattered civilization while staying out of reach of the Drengin.

The expansion also includes the Arcean faction and an old favorite from Galactic Civilizations II, the Torians. The Arceans are an ancient and honorable civilization of warriors and the Torians are an aquatic species seeking to escape the slavery of the Drengin. Both races come with new traits, abilities, and tech trees.

Along with this expansion, Stardock is releasing the v1.6 update to the base game, which is a free update for all Galactic Civilizations III game owners. Improvements include more detailed match results, AI improvements, visual updates, and balance improvements.

The expansion costs $19.99 and is available now on Steam at http://store.steampowered.com/app/411650/  or directly through the Stardock website.

POST-APOCALYPTIC STORY-DRIVEN ADVENTURE THE DESCENDANT ARRIVES MARCH 24 ON STEAM

In the not-so-distant future, climate change has wrecked the planet, and a man-made extinction event has wiped humankind off the face of the Earth. Only a few thousand ‘descendants of humanity’ were hand-picked to survive the apocalypse, cryogenically suspended in underground bunkers known as Arks.

Centuries passed. The world recovered, and all the Arks reopened, except one — Ark-01.

Watch the trailer on YouTube

In The Descendant, from developer Gaming Corps, you play through two timelines – in the past you’ll play as Mia, a janitor tasked with keeping the chosen humans housed inside Ark-01 alive, while in the present you’ll play as Donnie, one of the investigators trying to rescue any survivors trapped within the facility.

Coming to Steam for Windows PC on March 24, the game is a post-apocalyptic narrative adventure where players solve puzzles, explore the dangerous underground facility, and discover a far greater conspiracy buried within the subterranean Ark complex.

●     The Descendant on Steam

The first of five episodes of The Descendant will be available on Steam starting March 24 for $3.99 USD. An “Exclusive Season 1 Bundle” priced $14.99 USD is available now from the game’s official website until 48 hours before the first episode releases. This pre-launch bundle includes all five episodes of the game (with episodes 2 -5 to be released over the course of 2016), grants players 48-hours early access to each episode, and features a full game Soundtrack, a Digital Poster and a Digital Art Book.
