About Titan Quest II

Return to the classic mythology-inspired setting of Titan Quest and go toe-to-toe with legendary monsters as you journey across a fantastical reimagining of ancient Greece. Nemesis, Goddess of Retribution, is out of control. She is corrupting the Threads of Fate and condemning all those who oppose her to eternal punishment – including you. Take up your weapon, fight alongside gods, and change fate itself in order to stop Nemesis, free those she’s punished, and weave your own epic tale.

From the creators of SpellForce 3 comes a handcrafted action RPG for a new generation of mythical heroes.

• A World of Myth and Monsters
  Set out on an adventure worthy of myth that takes you from picturesque beaches, to serene Greek temples, to places where no mortal has ever ventured, including the mysterious realm of the Moirai themselves. Battle classic creatures from Greek myth and the original Titan Quest, including Ichthians, Centaurs, Satyrs, Harpies, Sirens, Gryphons, and many, many more.
• Exploration-Focused Campaign
  The world is full of mysteries and secrets to discover. Legendary monsters lurk in hidden groves, and you never know when you will end up face-to-face with a god. Visit memorable towns full of life and intrigue. The conversations you engage in and the items you find along your journey can lead to surprising discoveries, or they might just hold the key to stopping Nemesis. This is your adventure.
• A Challenge Fit for a Hero
  Heroic deeds require heroic effort. The enemies you face are far from defenceless – dodge and counter their attacks, then overwhelm them with a well-timed flurry of blows. Powerful rituals allow you to freely control the game’s difficulty, while deep character customisation systems ensure that there’s always a good reason to replay.
• Flexible Character System
  Customise your hero, then form your own class by combining two masteries. Build your character around the strengths and weakness of both masteries, exploring different combinations of skill modifiers, attributes, and items to create your own hybrid class and find your favourite playstyle.
• Meaningful Loot
  Every item serves a function, and every character class has many options when it comes to finding the perfect equipment. Even the most common spear can be upgraded via affix crafting, and with the right ingredients, you may even forge it into a unique item spoken of only in legend.
• Challenging Action RPG Combat
  Enemies form factions and work together, combining their unique skills and abilities to keep you on your toes. Use the deep character build system and access every skill at your disposal to vanquish them in this unique action RPG experience.
• A Beautiful, Handcrafted World Rooted in Greek Myth
  Encounter stunning vistas and deep caverns, and traverse the world with your divine mount, Areion. Use the powers of the gods to uncover secret locations and explore lovingly designed levels full of verticality.
• Online Multiplayer
  Join up with friends to take on the Goddess of Retribution. Like Jason and the Argonauts, sometimes you need a group of heroes for your journey.
• Rich and Immersive Sound
  An atmospheric soundtrack blends traditional Greek music with modern orchestral elements to create epic, memorable themes, drawing you into Titan Quest II’s unique world.

Bring balance to a realm infested with darkness

LOS ANGELES (Sept. 5, 2024) – The deckbuilding experts from publisher Good Shepherd Entertainment and devilish developer Be-Rad Entertainment today released the innovative new deckbuilder Demon’s Mirror on PC via Steam for $19.99 USD. (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1600910/Demons_Mirror/)

Demon’s Mirror is a roguelike deckbuilder that incorporates the deckbuilding and grid manipulation genres while immersing players in a terrifying world of suspense and strategy. After choosing one of three tortured souls, players will set off on their quest through a labyrinth of foes and strange creatures. Along the way, find and collect cards to strengthen your powers and harness punishing combos during enemy encounters. Only by mastering the art of deckbuilding and chain-3 (linking three or more tiles) mechanics, can players restore this chaotic realm to tranquility.

Challenging turn-based combat encounters will present players with unpredictable scenarios that will change with each run. Survival is reliant on combining the strategic balance of playing the best cards possible with chaining together the best tiles possible. Unique grid manipulation adds a fresh complexity to combat encounters, empowering players to unleash powerful attacks while also chaining tiles to increase defense, or gathering essence for resources.

Demon’s Mirror’s twisted world is brimming with devious fiends and possibilities alike. Brave tacticians can keep the official Demon’s Mirror wiki on hand for a comprehensive resource on deck synergy, enemy types and more as they battle the scores of beasts preventing the realm’s salvation: https://demonsmirror.wiki.gg/wiki/Demon%27s_Mirror_Wiki 

No two paths through Demon’s Mirror’s enchanting land will lead to the same experience. Choose your route thoughtfully while taking calculated risks to survive fighting the array of menacing creatures awaiting you in an equally mysterious and rewarding world.

Stay up to date on everything Demon’s Mirror by following Good Shepherd Entertainment on Twitter @GoodShepherdEnt and Be-Rad Entertainment @BeRad_Ent.

War is over. War is just beginning.

Planetary Calendar 214. Four years have passed since the end of the Solar War. Our protagonist, scarred from the loss of his crewmates in the war, is re-assigned to the Jovian patrol ship Gun-Dog as it’s dispatched with orders to investigate mysterious signals coming from the edge of Jovian Space.  

Unknown to the Gun-Dog’s crew, a new danger looms deep in the ocean of stars, threatening not just the Gun-Dog but all her crew.

Take on the role of the Gun-Dog’s security officer as you attempt to save the ship from an unknown assailant whilst navigating the paranoia, conspiracies and vendettas that break out amongst the crew. As camaraderie falls apart can you overcome the challenges that await?

The Game – A love letter to retro anime and 80s Sci-Fi

Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog is a visual novel adventure in the spirit of classic PC-9800 titles. Featuring a vintage green screen aesthetic, Space Colony Studios strives to create an “era-accurate” game that exudes retro vibes in every way, from the text to the visual effects. As the Jovian patrol ship sails into the darkness among the stars, the players will feel like they are on an adventure in an 80s Sci-Fi as they solve the mystery they find themselves in.

The Story – A new threat emerges from the void.

Humans have long since freed themselves from the grasp of gravity, but they are still unable to escape the hold of war. 

It’s year 214 of the Planetary Calendar. Four years have passed since the end of the Solar War and an uneasy peace persists throughout the solar system. The Jovian patrol ship Gun-Dog is sent on a reconnaissance mission to investigate mysterious signals coming from the edge of Jovian space. What starts as a routine assignment quickly escalates into a battle for survival as an unknown threat terrorises the crew.

The Gameplay – Investigate. Interact. Analyse. Advance.

Utilising traditional point-and-click adventure mechanics, during your time on the Gun-Dog, you can navigate various locations on the ship, examine the details of the richly realised backgrounds or talk with the different crew members on board. You will need to listen closely to the characters’ words to reveal important clues or duplicitous intentions and keep your eyes peeled for key items and interactive elements in the backgrounds that you can use to advance the story.

The Characters – Get on board with the crew of the Gun-Dog!

All stories are about people, and the cast of The Gun-Dog brings the story to life, so much so that their charm and charisma convinced the team at Astrolabe Games to board the Gun-Dog and sign up to be the publisher. From the elegant yet distant Captain Bartermews, to the bubbly Lieutenant Commander Cassandra Quinn, to the assertive and domineering Chief Mackenzie Cathays, “The Gun-Dog” features an extensive cast of characters for you to meet. Each crew member has a distinct personality, role and history. Get to know them and their quirks and decide whether to work with or against them to unravel the mystery that lies at the story’s heart.

The Place – Adventure in an entirely explorable ship!

The main stage of the first installment in the “Stories from Sol” series, as the Jovian patrol ship Gun-Dog heads into deep space it serves as the setting for the game’s story. It has been exhaustively realised. Rich and evocative descriptions of the ship, including the constant rumble of the engine room, the bustle of the bridge, the silence of space pair with an extensive range of scenes that have been meticulously designed and animated in detail to deliver an immersive experience. Inspired by the best that anime has to offer the ship even features “Armoured Frames”, mechanised, human shaped, weapons of war.

Lyon, France, September 5, 2024 – French independent studio WanadevStudio is thrilled to announce the upcoming Early Access release date of “Vestiges: Fallen Tribes” on October 3, 2024, on Steam with a cinematic trailer that introduces the game’s universe, featuring gameplay that is designed to be accessible and endlessly replayable.

During the Early Access phase, players will primarily have access to deck-building, solo scenarios, and both public and private matchmaking to compete against other players and climb the ranks. The game will also be VR-compatible for those equipped with VR headsets, starting from the Early Access release.

“Vestiges: Fallen Tribes” is a turn-based strategic card game mixed with autobattler mechanics. Whether in solo mode or PvP, players are invited to build their decks from a collection of available cards, each representing a unit or battalion of figurines to be strategically placed on a true battlefield.

The story of “Vestiges: Fallen Tribes” is set in a tribal sci-fi universe. The over-exploitation of resources and ecosystem destruction have disrupted the climate, leading to water scarcity. As humans fought for control over water, they drove themselves to extinction. The last survivors invented this game to win water in a peaceful way by replaying past battles.

While game sessions are fast-paced and entertaining, progressively challenging scenarios will be available in solo mode, offering players customization rewards. In PvP, competitions allow players to rank among the best.

Community feedback and recommendations will be crucial for WanadevStudio, which aims to develop the game alongside players during the Early Access period via their Discord server. The gameplay trailer and the Early Access development roadmap will be unveiled soon.
