The fate of the land is decided by the Eikons, mighty summoned beasts and their Dominants, men and women who have been blessed with the ability to call upon and wield them. This is the tale of Clive Rosfield, a warrior granted the title “First Shield of Rosaria” and sworn to protect his younger brother Joshua, the Dominant of the Phoenix, Eikon of Fire. Before long, Clive will be caught up in a great tragedy and swear revenge on the Dark Eikon known as Ifrit, a mysterious entity that brings calamity in its wake.

Hellstuck: Rage With Your Friends and Diamond Hands: To The Moon are two hardcore retro-style platformers that are just hitting the Nintendo Switch. The games are distinguished by their demanding gameplay based on precise jumping. Both titles were previously released on PC, where they were well-received by players.

The creation of Hellstuck: Rage With Your Friends and Diamond Hands: To The Moon is the work of the independent Terror Dog Studio, which also has titles like the cooperative survival horror Ultimate Zombie Defense to its credit. The versions for Nintendo Switch were prepared by the Polish company Ultimate Games S.A., which is also the publisher of both titles. The platformers are available in the Nintendo eShop both individually and in a more affordable bundle, the Rage Quit Bundle.

Hellstuck: Rage With Your Friends also on Switch. It’s time to escape from hell!

Hellstuck: Rage With Your Friends is a challenging platform game where the player starts in the deepest abysses of hell. The main goal is to escape from the 9 circles of hell, which will require precise jumping. The title is distinguished by its dark graphics and retro-style music.

The gameplay in Hellstuck: Rage With Your Friends is based on simple principles – the player can only move sideways and jump upwards. The key to success, or escaping the successive circles of hell, lies in precisely timed jumps. The game requires not only dexterity but also good planning of jumps, as one wrong move can result in a long fall.

The platformer created by Terror Dog Studio offers a single-player mode, and in local co-op mode, 2 players can play simultaneously.

The release date for Hellstuck: Rage With Your Friends on Nintendo Switch is set for March 6, 2024. The game is also available on PC (Steam).

Challenging platformer Diamond Hands: To The Moon is now on Nintendo Switch

In Diamond Hands: To The Moon, players are offered a unique opportunity to reach the Moon. This is an unconventional platformer with simple premises but is challenging to master. Its retro-style graphics add a distinctive character to this demanding platform game.

The gameplay in Diamond Hands: To The Moon focuses on timed jumps, allowing players to ascend to increasingly higher regions. Precision, calmness, and agility are crucial for success. Terror Dog Studio has prepared a variety of levels to overcome, humorously referencing themes like the stock market and a realm of chickens.

The title offers fun for single players and a local co-op mode for 2 players.

Diamond Hands: To The Moon was released on Nintendo Switch on March 6, 2024, and is also available on PC (Steam).

About Sky of Tides

A calamity has fractured the world of Numen into nine floating planetoids. Diverse nations now hover isolated from each other in the sky, while the ocean hovers above them all, enveloping the broken planet, which hangs by a thread. Two rival powers vie for control—the Syndicate through their monopoly on a little understood but powerful technology that relies on mysterious Corron minerals that they control; and the Sovereign, which favors a return to the now nearly lost ways of the ancients outlined in the banned Numen Tomes.

• Explore unknown and ancient lands – Travel further away from home than you’ve ever been before. From your family’s rytail farm on Yantar, to the harsh desolate wasteland of the Bleached Relics. Explore the mysterious and ancient landscapes of Numen and unearth items to understand the world around you. You never know what you might find along the way.
• Dialogue choices shape your character – It’s not just about what you do, but how you react. Think about who you want to be, as the world of Numen will mirror itself to your personality, the items in the world, and your dialogue options. Dialogue choices you make reflect in your Character Stats which go towards unlocking further dialogue options and unique customization items. Increase your intelligence, humor, courage, compassion, and luck, but be wary of what you say, the people you meet along the way aren’t afraid to talk back…
• A story-driven sci-fi adventure – You play as Rin, the daughter of Syndicate researcher Lu D’Lorah who uncovers a conspiracy to starve the people of Numen and then goes missing. As you set out to find your father, you’ll encounter all sorts of interesting numenites—some friends, some foe. Discover a hidden power that may hold the answer to healing the broken planet before it’s too late, but be careful, there are others seeking this power as well.

Sky of Tides will be launching for PC via Steam and EGS, PlayStation and Xbox consoles and Nintendo Switch later this year. For more information please visit https://esdigital.games/

London (March 22, 2024) – Today Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, released the highly anticipated action-RPG Dragon’s Dogma™ 2 on PlayStation®5 (PS5®), Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. This sequel to the 2012 classic Dragon’s Dogma™ features a richly detailed and deeply explorable fantasy world built using Capcom’s RE ENGINE, where individual choices and creativity allow players to shape their own experience. In addition to the standard version of Dragon’s Dogma 2, a Deluxe Edition containing the “New Journey Pack” includes in-game items to help your Arisen on their journey, such as a Wakestone, Rift Crystals, a Dragon’s Dogma Music and Sound Collection, access to a custom Camping Kit, and more that will be available.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a narrative-driven action RPG that places players in an immersive fantasy world as the Arisen, a champion whose heart is stolen by the Dragon. You will lead a party of up to three AI companions known as Pawns, including your custom main Pawn, and up to two additional Pawns that can be recruited offline or from other players while online. While the sequel’s setting mirrors the lush rolling hills of the classic Dragon’s Dogma™ and its Dark Arisen expansion, this original adventure takes place in a parallel world containing two nations with distinct approaches to the Dragon threat. Queen Regent Disa has installed a false Arisen to maintain control of the kingdom of Vermund for her son. Meanwhile, the beastren nation of Battahl considers the otherworldly Pawns to be a source of misfortune and have turned to worship of the Lambent Flame and their high priestess Nadinia to ward off calamity.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 harnesses the power of the RE ENGINE to create a world map about four times the size of the original world of Dragon’s Dogma and is densely populated with enemies, events, and locations rendered with the latest graphical technology. The environment is complemented by immersive physics and character AI that brings Pawns, monsters, and NPCs to life. Pawns organically guide players to new locations, dynamically cooperate during battle, and even react to special moments such as celebrating narrow victories with high-fives. Monsters new and old encourage players to devise numerous strategies to succeed in combat, or even avoid it all together. NPCs, such as the bow-wielding Ulrika who has a deep connection to the Arisen, Nadinia the high priestess of the beastren, or a variety of other unique characters will form intricate relationships with the Arisen that set the stage for nuanced story moments. Shape your own adventure through the relationships you form with over 1000 NPCs that inhabit this world.

Before embarking on each quest of your journey, it is essential to organize your party: understand each member’s strengths and weaknesses; decide what your strategy will be; and tactically select the Vocations for your Arisen, Main Pawn, and hired Pawns. The choice is yours to form a balanced party spread across multiple vocations, a purely offensive party of magical powerhouses, a burly crew of two-handed warriors, or anything in between. When players start their journey in Dragon’s Dogma 2, they will be able to choose their desired playstyle among the four initially available Vocations: Fighter, Archer, Thief, and Mage. Players can change the vocation of their Arisen and main Pawn at any time by visiting Vocation Guilds throughout the world and unlock new vocations such as the Mystic Spearhand, Trickster, and Warfarer as they progress through the game by finding and forming bonds with the Maisters of each vocation. Players interested in getting a head start on designing their Arisen and Main Pawn can download the “Character Creator & Storage” tool, available for free on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam. This tool allows players to create five designs for their Arisen and Main Pawn that will be instantly transferred to the full game.
