Back in April, we saw a 19-minute demo trailer for Layopi Games and 1c Entertainment’s upcoming punch-em-up RPG, Devil’s Hunt. Well, a new trailer has dropped along with an update on the release date for the game which will have PC players happy and consol owners itching with anticipation. The game was originally going to be released on both PC and consoles at the same time but 1c and Layopi will release the game on Steam September 17, 2019. The developers chose this route as it they say it would allow them time to polish the game and ensure quality befitting a third-person game. 1c and Layopi said they will release Devil’s Hunt on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in the first quarter of 2020 and added Nintendo Switch to the list of consol releases! Devil’s Hunt follows Desmond, a man who made a deal with the devil and granted demonic powers to fight demons. Based on the bestselling Polish

Fellow Traveler and Paranoid Productions indoctrinated me into the Collective Justice Mission and have sent me down to South America to join my fellow members of the congregation in Freedom Town… Well, they were just cool enough to let me try out their game The Church in the Darkness. The game takes place in the 1970s where you take on the role of an ex-cop named Vic who infiltrates the Collective Justice Mission cult’s paradise Freedom Town in what seems to be an eerie parody of Jonestown. Vic’s mission is to find his nephew Alex to see if he’s alright but soon after you arrive, you realize not everything is well. The game is a top view game where you can zoom in a little bit to see more details but other than that, this is the only angle you will see. This actually does help as when you couch you can see the guard’s field of view (depending on

Gearbox Software and Compulsion Games in recent months released a Season Pass for their dystopian psychedelic mod game, We Happy Few. Gearbox was kind enough to share with me the season pass so I can experience one of three DLCs, this one in particular titled Lightbearer that follows a rock icon of the fictional English Island-state of Wellington, Nick Lightbearer. Lightbearer appears in the main game for a short time but images of him are everywhere. In the Lightbearer DLC, it becomes obvious that there are two kinds of people in Wellington, those who still like Nick Lightbearer, and those who despise him. Nick’s star is quickly fading as all the sex, and drugs are killing his rock and roll life. Nick is troubled not only by the fact that he’s burning out but that there’s a series of murders taking place around the hotel he’s staying at, and he’s linked to them! Not onto the game. Nick, being a

Monster Couch was kind enough to give me a chance to try out their party game based on a Japanese game show, Tetsumo Party, which is coming out on July the 26th for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Steam, and Woovit. The main premise of the game is that players take on the role of a sumo wrestler and control his limbs so he’s able to fit through a human-shaped hole in a bamboo wall. This idea is also the basis for a real-life Japanese game show that was adapted a few years ago for American television and renamed Hole in the Wall. Tetsumo Party features a variety of characters that can be unlocked by completing challenges that each character has. Being a party game, up to eight players can play at one time on two controllers. Players manipulate the character’s arms and legs to put them into the right formation in order to allow the character to pass

The game will be available August 2nd and is currently available for pre-order. The Church in the Darkness is a stealth-driven game where players take on the role of Vic, a former cop who travels to the jungles of South America in the 1970s to a village called Freedom Town, a socialist utopia where all the citizens are part of a religious cult of the Collective Justice Mission. Vic’s mission is to locate his nephew who joined the cult and moved to Freedom Town. As you explore the village you’ll learn that not everything is as it seems and not all cult members are truly happy. Choices made by Vic will affect the outcome of the game as there are multiple endings depending on how players choose to play the game, stealthy, run and gun, non-lethal combat, or avoid confrontation

Cult classic horror films are not just popular because of the cheap gore effects, campy acting, and boobs, the poster art alone for many of these films are masterpieces to those with an eye for horror art. Messed Up Puzzles is a company that takes these artistic pieces and turns them into jigsaw puzzles that will make any ghoul happy! These Not Safe For Work (NSFW) puzzles feature the art of films only without the title getting in the way. Recently added to their growing collection are the 1980 slasher Maniac and the 1979 Italian zombie flick Zombie (also goes by Zombi 2, and Zombie Flesh Eaters).

The awesome folks over at Blitworks and Numantian Games gave me the opportunity to don my goggles and top hat in order to fight off the ever-hungry hoard of the undead in their upcoming Steampunk survival game, They are Billions. This real-time strategy city building game with a tower defense twist takes place on a planet that’s being colonized until a zombie outbreak occurred turning most of the planet’s inhabitants into an infected hoard and it’s not up to you to rebuild civilization. This game is truly a twist on some of your more traditional tower defense style games as the enemies don’t exactly follow a route, they can come from any direction! Because of this I actually lost the game a couple of times. Usually, I save the bad things about a game for the end of the review but I’ll actually get it out of the way this time as there is only one real negative thing I

The Swedish punk-rock band Refused will be taking on the role of the fictional band SAMURAI in the upcoming FPS that’s taking the world by storm, Cyberpunk 2077. CD PROJECT RED’s music director Marcin Przybyłowicz headed the project to compile an EP of SAMURAI’s greatest hits with tracks recorded that were inspired by the game as well as original tracks by Refused that were written exclusively for Cyberpunk 2077. It was an unexpected challenge that turned out to be right up our alley and really got us going. The songs turned out great and the game looks insane,” says Refused’s lead vocalist Dennis Lyxzén Fans of both Refused and Cyberpunk 2077 can download SAMURAI’s song “Chippin’ In” which was featured in the E3 trailer, on selected music stores and streaming services. Cyberpunk 2077 is available for pre-order for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One now and will be released April 16th, 2020.
