![]() ![]() Gather your courage and ride out into the chaos of a world undone.įour heroes and a stagecoach are all that stand between darkness and salvation. ![]() The greatest dangers you face, however, may come from within. Form a party, equip your stagecoach, and set off across the decaying landscape on a last gasp quest to avert the apocalypse. The decisions are endless.Darkest Dungeon II is a roguelike road trip of the damned. Or, swap to your companion’s meter and have them change something up. Change an attack that took 3 heartbeats to something faster. Since some actions require multiple heartbeats, you may attempt a particular move that doesn’t work – maybe you miss the enemy, or the barrel of oil you attacked in order to defeat multiple enemies wasn’t close enough to them, or you were simply defeated from behind. Each action requires one or more “heartbeats” and as you play the game your meter will fill up and reflect what you have done and how many heartbeats each action took. As you make decisions in the game, the meters will track each of those decision – whether that decision is to move in a certain direction, attack an enemy, walk into fire, get attacked, etc. Kipuna, the primary character, and your traveling companion each have what is reminiscent of a music or video editing interface meter along the bottom of the screen. The final game we saw was Iron Danger – an RPG that features an innovative timeline mechanic which allows you to – at any time and as often as you want – reverse time in order to change your plan of attack. Together, with the option to play this cooperatively with friends, it’s no wonder that there’s such a strong modding community supporting this game. You can design your own submarine, characters, or even your own monsters if you want. The game also features an in-game editor which can be used to make, well, anything you want. If you do, you’ll have to scramble to fend them off and repair the leaks that appear in your vessel, which at a glance, looks incredibly complex with switching between different characters in order to mend parts of your hull, or go to one of the turrets to fend off the creatures in between looking at the various maps and data that the game makes available to you. Sharing similarities with FTL: Faster Than Light, Barotrauma puts you in charge of your own submarine as you explore the frozen oceans of Jupiter’s moon, Europa.Īs you progress and collect resources, you have to be careful not to disturb the life living in the oceans of Europa. We also had a quick demonstration of Barotrama, a game currently in early access that has an amazing mod community that’s been supporting it. Iratus: Lord of the Dead is set to release soon, so make sure to keep an eye out for it! Your monsters can be leveled up as well over time, by using the items you collect from your enemies (such as bones, or even brains). ![]() Iratus himself also has abilities that can be used in battle, and as you progress through the game, you’ll be able to unlock additional talents in a skill tree. When making your teams though, it’s important to consider the abilities of the units and what will be better against each opponent. You can divide up your minions into four groups to quickly select when going into battle. I had a chance to play a few rounds and while I haven’t played something like Darkest Dungeon to be able to make the comparison, I did find myself enjoying the strategy that goes into each fight. Instead of playing the heroes and making your way through various dungeons, you play as I ratus: Lord of the Dead as you fight against what would, in any other game, be the good guys. The first title we previewed was Iratus: Lord of the Dead- a game that takes an idea from something like Darkest Dungeon and then flips it. ![]()
