Blue Archive embraces the summer spirit

Nexon Co Ltd has announced a limited-time event for their anime RPG Blue Archive. Yes indeed, it was only a matter of time until the game succumbed to that age-old anime trope, the beach episode. Blue Archive places the player in the shoes of the new Federal Investigation Club advisor located in the sprawling city of Kivotos, which functions as a military academy for female students. The gameplay is mainly split into two groups; the battles and the life sim aspect. The battles play out fairly autonomously. After selecting a group of four, they are sent onto the battlefield where they will automatically shoot at the enemy in all their chibi 3D sprite glory. Each character has a skill they c…

Slash & Roll unleashes large scale dice based combat

Developers Gamesture are continuing their trend of taking tabletop pedigree and smashing it into a video game with Slash & Roll.

Gamesture has set out to make a massive community experience with their latest game, by pitting guilds of 20 people against other groups of the same number. When the game is booted up, players get sorted into an international guild with other dice wielding warriors who must all work together in fast-paced battles. The gameplay consists of two guilds, 20 v 20, rolling the D12, with every match-3 result providing a special outcome.…

The Mourning Star offers some profoundly deep interplanetary swinging

The Mourning Star is the debut game from one-man development band Ben Russell Games.

Naturally. Being suddenly awoken and finding themselves with amnesia Deah, presented as a big pair of cosmic eyeballs, discovered that all the stars are going cold as the whole universe is rapidly dying. In order to prevent this tragedy, the player will take the last remaining star and attempt to keep it safe as they attempt to complete a ritual that…

Taking inspiration from icons of the genre such as Metal Slug and Dead Cells, the screen will often be crammed full of bullets, explosions and general nefarious pixels with t…
