Build overpowered decks in card battler inspired by ‘Into the Breach’ and ‘Slay the Spire’

MONTREAL, Quebec – June 6, 2024 – StarVaders, the mech-powered, grid-based, roguelike deckbuilder developed by StarVaders Studio, has joined forces with publisher Joystick Ventures as revealed during Guerrilla Collective. Watch a new gameplay trailer below and join a Closed Playtest via Discord, before the invasion begins in the first half of 2025. Catch an additional trailer on Saturday, June 8 as part of Future Games Show. 

StarVaders combines the emergent growth and fleet-footed thinking of deckbuilders with the positional and tactical considerations of grid-based strategy games. Pilot a mech and fend off the alien invasion of Earth by not just playing cards to attack, but by preventing the enemies from advancing too close in the atmosphere, lest the doom meter fill and damn humanity!

All action takes place on a grid where the space invaders steadily descend each turn. Movement, attacks, and special abilities all require Heat, an energy source that determines how many actions the mech can take. However, strategic use of overheating allows for one extra move, at the cost of burning the card for the rest of the round.

With the extra dimension of the grid, each card plays an ever-more important role. Tanking attacks doesn’t drain health, but instead adds a junk card to the deck that may hinder crucial future turns. Keep enemy tactics in mind and end them before the doom meter fills. Get dealt a bad hand? Use a Chrono Token to rewind the turn and draw a new hand. Commandeer mechs with different pilots, each possessing special game-changing abilities and individual card pools that require different approaches. 

“The reception to the game has been tremendous so far, and we really feel like we’ve made something that combines two of our favorite genres into something fresh,” says Eddie Cai, Lead Designer at StarVaders Studio. “Even when I myself play the game, I STILL find new insane build archetypes and combos almost every time I play!”

StarVaders gears up to defend Earth in the first half of 2025 on PC via Steam. Join the official StarVaders Discord to sign up for the Closed Playtest.

MIAMI BEACH, Florida – June 6, 2024 – ANTONBLAST, the fast-paced explosive action platformer all about destruction from developer Summitsphere and publisher Joystick Ventures, blasts on the scene with a brand new cinematic preview trailer during Guerrilla Collective, before it crash lands onto Nintendo Switch and Steam on Tuesday, Nov. 12.

Watch the Cinematic Preview below:

The intro cinematic preview introduces Satan himself (voiced by Ultrakill star Gianni Matragrano), whose sole mission is to be the reddest being in existence. When Satan’s Magic Mirror reveals Dynamite Anton – a destruction worker living in the slums of Boiler City – to be potentially even redder, Satan launches an all-out assault on Anton and his beloved Spirit Collection in an effort to siphon his delightfully rosy tone.

In order to be visually unified with ANTONBLAST’s striking cartoon-meets-graffiti pixel art style, the intro cinematic runs entirely in-engine and was fully animated by Summitsphere’s in-house team.

“One of our primary goals with ANTONBLAST has been to make the player feel as if they’re experiencing a living, breathing 2000s cartoon, and so injecting as much of our personality as possible into every crevice has been crucial,” says Tony Grayson, Fearless Leader at Summitsphere. “Our animated in-engine cutscenes are the furthest logical conclusion of that. Marrying our cutting-edge 2D engine tech with our crack team of industry standard animation professionals – not to mention Gianni’s unparallelled performance – allows us to deliver breathtaking game animation beyond pretty much any other cartoon title out there right now.”

ANTONBLAST is a fast-paced explosive action platformer that’s all about destruction. Play as the enraged Dynamite Anton (or his cranked-out coworker Annie) and use your Mighty F’n Hammer to demolish bizarre worlds, tussle with screen-filling bosses, and steal your Spirits back from Satan!

That’s right: Satan himself has stolen Anton’s prized Spirit collection, and he’ll stop at nothing to get it back. Thankfully, the local disgraced casino owner, Brulo, has his own beef with Satan, and he’s willing to put aside his differences with Anton to make that devil pay.

Your mission in every level is simple: SET Brulo’s Detonators, FIND Anton’s Spirit, and ESCAPE before Happy Hour ends!

ANTONBLAST explodes onto Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam on November 12, 2024. Destruction enthusiasts who hate the devil can follow Summitsphere on their official website, Twitter/X, TikTok, and Instagram, and join their Discord server, and visit Joystick Ventures’ official website and follow them on Twitter/X.

Death Comes Quickly. Embrace Valhalla.

New York, NY (June 6, 2024) – Don your sharpest sword and strongest shield — Volgarr is back. Retro-focused studio Digital Eclipse unveiled Volgarr the Viking II at Guerrilla Collective 2024 today with a brutal new trailer and announced the release date of August 6, 2024, for Windows PC via Steam and GOG, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.

Digital edition preorders are now open at digitaleclipse.com.

Watch the Volgarr the Viking II reveal trailer here:

More than a decade after Volgarr the Viking’s bloodbath of a debut from Crazy Viking Studios, which sold more than one million copies across PC and consoles, the barbarian king’s adventure continues in an uncompromising new form. Set against the backdrop of new and bigger-than-ever Norse-inspired worlds, Volgarr the Viking II ups the ante on the original’s hardcore 2D side-scrolling action in an expanded odyssey where every playthrough is grislier than the last. 

The reveal trailer teases a selection of levels and enemy encounters, underscoring just how many times you’ll die (and die again) — all while progressively learning and mastering movesets, level layouts, and enemy attacks. Volgarr the Viking II’s satisfyingly punishing torment will forge you into a true warrior, demanding precision, strategy, and an indomitable spirit to conquer the unforgiving world.

As the great warrior Volgarr, choose your actions wisely when entering battle, as precision is everything. One false move can spell a one-way ticket to Valhalla. Jump, duck, slide, and dodge to avoid deadly enemies while remaining cognizant of the threats posed by your environment. 

While the sequel delivers the same unforgiving 1980s-arcade level of difficulty as the original, Volgarr’s a little older now, his muscles have wizened, and he graciously welcomes some new features that won’t agitate the arthritis: a practice mode, checkpoints, save profiles, and unlimited continues — but at what cost? If you can survive without these modern comforts, you’ll unlock everything the game has to offer. If not… death comes knocking.

“One of our key pillars is making new games the old-fashioned way. We love and celebrate games where every pixel is hand-crafted,” said Mike Mika, Head of Digital Eclipse. “Volgarr was one of those games we couldn’t put down, no matter how hard it was. Games like this are a rare breed, and we’re happy to play a role in seeing Volgarr II realized.”

“Volgarr is known for being easy to learn, hard to master. For some, that might even be an understatement. But that design philosophy guided every aspect of development for Volgarr II,” said Kristofor Durrschmidt, CEO & Creative Director, Crazy Viking Studios. “We learned a lot from launching the original, and even with some modern updates, fans are going to love the sequel. Volgarr is still a game where, if you want the ultimate experience, you’ll need to really master what it asks of you.”

Key Features Include: 

• Stave off death with new power-ups and magic items
• A roster of ruthless bosses so big and so ugly, they’re just begging to have their heads chopped off
• An epic orchestral soundtrack to carry you through battle
• Handy speedrunning tools, including an on-screen timer and no-HUD mode
• Six distinct endings based on player performance —only the masterfully skilled will unlock a hidden level to battle a secret final boss!
• Modern era upgrades include a practice mode and multiple profile save options
• Buckets of blood and bone explosions
• Loincloths

Volgarr the Viking II brute-forces its way onto PC and consoles on August 6, 2024. For more information, visit the official website.
