TERA Classic SEA release date confirmed following Open Beta

Coming off the back of its widely acclaimed open beta, developers PlayPark has announced that their upcoming mobile MMORPG TERA Classic SEA will launch on November 2nd. The game will launch in 11 countries in Southeast Asia, and there is still time to get involved with the pre-launch events. TERA Classic takes its roots from the MMORPG TERA Online.

The Online combat system was quite different and was quite entertaining, howeve…

There is not much better than a deep game with an interesting story and engaging mechanics, and a lot of fun hours can be spent on them, however, this is nothing that brings wonderful childish glee than a game whose sole purpose is just to utterly mess things up. Games like Gigapocalypse are wonderfully simple ways to get endless amusement. Taking inspiration from the Kaiju genre,…

Follow the narrative adventure of a ghost accepting his demise in How to Say Goodbye

The release date for How to Say Goodbye, a poignant narrative about life, death and mourning, has been announced. Created by ARTE France, Florian Veltman and Baptise Portefaix, How to Say Goodbye is a narrative puzzle game full of poetry following one ghost's journey in the great beyond. In the majority of video games, death is treated as an almost minor thing, just one of many mooks defeated to get to the end credits. Some games do touch on the grief of those who lose a loved one, but How to Say Goodbye follows a character just after their death, accepting their demise and passing through the other side. The puzzle gameplay takes place on a grid, with a variety of characters and decor ava…

Lilycore Games debut mobile game Bossgame: The Final Boss is my Heart releases 20th October

The first mobile game developed by one-woman indie studio Lilycore Games releases in a few short days, the oft-dubbed superfast lesbian devil fighter Bossgame: The Final Boss is my Heart. Romance is very much at the centre of this game, with the two main characters already being in a committed relationship, which is an interesting take as most games focus on the build-up. Sword priestess Sophie and fire-mage Anna are partners that live in the devil-infested Mammon City, where the best way to make money is to hunt said devils. The graphic style pays homage to the overlord of indie games, Undertale, with the gameplay also relying on the player having quick reflexes as the combat is a very fa…
