Dungeon crawlers conceptually appeal to me as a genre, but I’ve never quite found one that I’ve entirely clicked with. I’m talking oldschool dungeon crawlers here, where you take each step as it comes. I want to crawl some dungeons! Perhaps just not like that. Hopefully, Dungeon Lurker, with its crunchy dark fantasy pixel art and muddy, deep sound effects, will be able to make the difference. Where Dungeon Lurker differs from your Wizardrys is that mechanically it looks a lot closer to a beat-em-up. You are a knight-looking fellow that looks ripped straight from the cover art…
Goals has been highly anticipated by soccer game fans for years now. Promising a focus on gameplay first, there’s been real hope that it can rival the EA Sports FC series as the premier game for lovers of the sport. With sentiment around the FC series being more negative than ever, this is the perfect time for Goals to iterate by doing exactly what EA Sports seemingly refuses to do. Goals isn’t as complete a package as other soccer games. It’s a reimagining of the familiar Ultimate Team mode, aimed at seasoned veterans. The lack of real-world licenses has allowed…

Crimson Desert’s story is the least impressive thing about the skyscraper-sized, open-world fantasy game, but Pearl Abyss is ready to change that. Soon, the developer will start fiddling with its narrative that tries convincing you a guy named Kliff could be someone’s savior, and Fallout: New Vegas director Josh Sawyer is giving the company his storyteller blessing.Pearl Abyss says in a June 2 update describing its plans from now until September that it’s been “carefully reviewing the story-related feedback you have shared with us” – so Pearl Abyss might have seen some of those overstuffed Reddit threads calling Crimson Desert’s…
Fancy devoting your entire existence to the whims and desires of a variety of Greek gods? Sure you do! At least in the safety of your digital blanket that is your Steam library. To do such a thing, you’ll be wanting to check out Theos: Cities Of Myth, an upcoming city-builder where you do just that, all in service of pleasing those fickle deities. Well, not entirely in service of them. You’ll also need to take the wants of the people that inhabit your city into consideration, in what sounds like a tightrope balancing act. In Theos, as…
A new Fallout 76 update has just launched, and it’s about to make the world a lot more chaotic – but also open up another way to get your hands on its top-tier gear in doing so. Fallout 76 Infestations, which is accompanied by Season 25 of the survival game, ‘Under Siege,’ covers the map in a barrage of bounteous bosses, each promising to act as a possible gateway to the four-star legendaries that have thus far been pretty elusive to get your hands on. The only caveat is that you’ll need to make sure you get there in time.…

Dragon Quest and Nier games might have more in common than you’d think, as one Square Enix producer discusses that both series rely a lot on outsourced developers.Speaking at BitSummit Punch last month (spotted and translated by Genki_JPN on Twitter), Yosuke Saito – who’s credited as a producer on Nier, Nier: Automata, the Replicant remaster, and Dragon Quest 11: Echoes of an Elusive Age, amongst many others – notes that the two RPG series are created in similar ways, with neither being made entirely with in-house developers.In Nier: Automata’s case, of course, while Square Enix was the publisher, PlatinumGames was…
An hour into Entropy, the new turn-based RPG from Dread Delusion studio Lovely Hellplace, I stumbled on three randos frenziedly interrogating a severed head. In theory, the head belonged to a demon, one of the hellspawn who had recently laid the realm to waste, but the bystanders seemed… ambiguous on this front. I wasn’t really in a position to judge: by this point in the demo, my party had already hacked a number of arms off, and in any case, many of Entropy’s demons are rogue body parts to begin with. One of the early enemies is a walking…
Hearing squeaky little voices in your online games may be a thing of the past, at least in the United Kingdom. As the British government continues to take steps to combat the effects of the internet on young people, one possible inclusion in the Online Safety Act would ban children from using voice chat in online games like Fortnite and Roblox to talk to strangers. Concerns about the safety of children online have been a big issue over the last few years, and the UK government has already introduced age verification checks on services like Discord in an attempt to…
