ironfall-invasion-01

We are one day away from the release of the “New” Nintendo 3DS XL, and two days away from the day love. Which day is bigger? Well, this year – both can be as an ambitious little third-person shooter is set to launch on the eShop this February the 14th, titled Ironfall Invasion.

Developed by VD-DEV, this title runs 60 frames per second and is indeed one of the rarities for the 3DS, as the genre has not received a ton of representation thus far. There will be two purchasable modes for Ironfall off the eShop, and free content for those wanting to try before they make the plunge.

Here are the details on the complete package:

– IRONFALL Invasion: Campaign features 11 action-packed single-player levels, as well as 78 additional challenges that are unlocked as you progress through your overall mission to liberate Earth.

– IRONFALL Invasion: Multiplayer allows for up to six players to face-off in local and online multiplayer scenarios, with 6 different arenas, classic modes from “3 vs. 3” to “free-for-all”, and even the ability to bet in-game credits, which are tied to a player’s XP and rank, on your chances of winning a match. On top of this, a Survivor mode gives you the chance to train solo and hone your skills against CPU-controlled opponents within a variety of time-based scenarios.

Downloadable from Nintendo eShop, fans can purchase either mode separately for AU$13.00/NZ$17.00 each, or the entire game for AU$26.00/NZ$34.00. Fans purchasing both modes separately will gain access to a new multiplayer weapon, the HR pistol, while those purchasing both modes together as one bundle will receive the HR pistol plus a Jukebox feature that allows you access to the game’s soundtrack. However, free content will be available to all players from launch, with the chance to sample the first level of IRONFALL Invasion: Campaign plus the local and online multiplayer features of IRONFALL Invasion: Multiplayer, including one multiplayer arena and a limited number of characters and weapons when compared to the purchasable mode.

That is not a shabby start at all for this title that holds quite a punch, and a fantastic way for you to get the most out of your new purchase if you go for the new 3DS model. You can view some screenshots down below. If you are in North America or Europe, you can go ahead and snag the game now.

Broforce-Alien-Infestation-Artwork

Free Lives seems to just be adding update after update to it’s 80’s action-movie themed title Broforce. Devolver Digital and Free Lives have announced that with this latest update Broforce is eschewing the standard jungle themed action movie for something a little more science fiction.

broforce-screen-shot-01

The new update to the early access action title brings to the fore an alien infestation. With the same sort of tongue-in-cheek parody that Broforce has brought us with 80’s flicks, we now see Aliens-esque aliens. Chestbursters, acid-spitting xenomorph-style creatures, new traps, and more have been brought to battle through.

You can check out a video detailing the new horrors and enemies below. Broforce is available on Steam via Early Access with a 25% discount in celebration of this release. There is no doubt that the developers will continue to add much more content prior to it’s full release. Check out the trailer for the new update below.

 

Offworld Trading Company Hits Steam Early Access

Economic RTS Offworld Trading Company is now available through Steam’s Early Access program. The game is the first title from Soren Johnson’s new indie studio Mohawk Games.

Offworld Trading Company is unique to RTS games as Offworld Trading Company skips over the traditional focus on military might in favour of economic power. Players will manage a colony on Mars and attempt to out maneuver opponents through traditional market transactions and shadier practices like piracy.

Mohawk Games is currently focusing on balancing the game during the Early Access phase, as the game’s features are complete.

It has only been a little over a year since Soren Johnson announced he would strike it out on his own with Stardock’s backing. Johnson is the mind behind arguably the best title in the Civilization series, Civilization IV. In November 2013, Offworld Trading Company was only known by its code name “Mars.”

Offworld Trading Company is available now on Steam and Stardock Entertainment’s store for Mac and Windows.While the game is in Early Access phase, the game will be $35.99 USD. The full release will see the price bumped up to $39.99.

Latest Disgaea 5 trailer focuses on Usalia

disgaea-5-usalia-screenshot-01

Today Nippon Ichi Software released a new trailer for Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance highlighting the wererabbit Usalia. Usalia is obsessed with curry (which happens to be something players can cook before a battle to strengthen their units) and rides around in battle on a large yellow Prinny. In this video we are given a look at some of Usalia’s moves including a combo attack with an ally and some of her motivations for joining the fight against Void Dark as, later in the trailer, it seems that her parents were slain by his general Majorita.

It also appears that she may have a far less easygoing side to herself when enraged if the transformation at the end of the video is anything to go by. Currently Disgaea 5 is set to be released in North America sometime later this year by NIS America and in Japan on March 26th.
