Strategy autobattler Mechabellum has hit 1.0 after over a year in Early Access

Thought bots I don’t know why we haven’t written aboutMechabellumbefore now, but we haven’t. Let’s correct that. After more than a year in Early Access, it’s just released version 1.0. Fights happen over several rounds, with chances to re-tool your setup in between. Mechabellum launched in Early Access last May and has been well received since. I’m not Matt Cox (RPS in peace).

Legendary black metal TTRPG MÖRK BORG is getting a brutal, nightmarish side scroller

Makes it more metal. You really should read the Steam page. The writing there is almost as darkly florid and entertaining as the game itself. If you roll 32 while plundering a corpse, you encounter “a hopeless amount of spiders”. I must admit, this isnt the direction I expected for a digital MORK BORG project. Instead, you level up by performing certain actions during your adventures. When you level up, some of your characters abilities will get better, but some will get WORSE....

I will take screenshots from the heights, and make gravity my friend. But gravity is not my friend, and Lorns Lure (out now on Steam) isnt a playground. Thankfully, those respawns are generous, to the point of flattering. But Im also belabouring the fundamentals because Lorns Lure makes first-person platforming feel new again....

The wallrunning, double jumping, and grapple hooking are basically 1:1 matches. No,yourecrying.) The shooting itself is decent enough. Still, traversal is always the star of any encounter. This is also a pleasure in itself, guns or no guns. Cleanly launching from platform to platform is thus a tactile joy. But generally, Echo Point Nova is proving to be a zoomy good time. Itsout now on Steam, with a 10% launch discount....
