  • Bouncemasters free-to-play arcade game coming soon

    Bouncemasters free-to-play arcade game coming soon

    “Bouncemasters” is a mobile and upcoming PC game that falls into the casual arcade and physics-based genres.

    Game Overview:

    Plot: The premise of the game is simple and humorous: you’re a penguin who is trying to escape the freezing North Pole in pursuit of love. Your tools for this journey are your best friend, a bear, and a bat.

    Gameplay: The core gameplay involves launching a penguin with a bat and then continuing its flight by bouncing off various animals and objects. You need to time your taps to keep the penguin in the air, avoiding obstacles and gathering coins. The goal is to get the penguin as far as possible.

    Mechanics: Physics-Based: The game relies on a fun, often chaotic physics engine. Bouncing off seals, hitching rides on whales, or getting stuck in trees are all part of the experience.

    Upgrades: You can use coins earned from your flights to purchase new bats (from a frying pan to the Eiffel Tower) and upgrade your penguin’s stats, such as power, bounce, and speed.

    Endless Replayability: The game is designed for high scores and competitive play, with global leaderboards to challenge friends and other players.

    Developer and Release Information:

    Developer: The mobile version was developed by Playgendary. The upcoming PC version is being developed by JoyBits Ltd., the studio behind the Doodle God franchise.

    Mobile Release: The original “Bouncemasters” was released for iOS and Android in 2018.

    PC Release: A remastered version, “Bouncemasters: Fly Pengu, Fly!”, is planned for release on PC via Steam on September 29, 2025. It promises to be a “pure ‘one-more-bounce’ fun!” experience without ads or in-game purchases.

  • New gameplay trailer for Voidling Bound

    New gameplay trailer for Voidling Bound

    “Voidling Bound” is an upcoming monster-taming action RPG and third-person shooter developed and published by the indie studio Hatchery Games. The studio is notable for being composed of former developers who worked on the Skylanders franchise.

    Game Overview:

    Genre: It’s an action-packed, third-person sci-fi shooter with a strong emphasis on monster taming, evolution, and customisation. It’s been described by players as a blend of games like Spore and Warframe.

    Plot: The game’s story revolves around a future where humanity is threatened by a devastating parasite. You play as a “Space Wrangler” who must team up with recently discovered creatures called “Voidlings” and use a neural bond to fight for survival.

    Gameplay Mechanics:

    Direct Control: A key feature that sets it apart from traditional monster-taming games is that you directly control your Voidlings in real-time combat.

    Evolution and Customisation: You can evolve your Voidlings through branching paths, which change their appearance, elemental alignment, abilities, and playstyle.

    Splicing and Breeding: The game features a deep “splicing” system where you can use a gene collection to craft unique Voidlings with powerful synergies. You can also breed them to combine attributes and natures.

    Action Combat: The combat is described as a high-octane mix of shooting, slashing, and using powerful abilities.

    Release: The game is planned for a Q1 2026 release on PC via Steam. It is also set to come to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2 at a later date. A demo is currently available on Steam.

  • Versalis is coming to Steam next year

    Versalis is coming to Steam next year

    Versalis is an upcoming indie tactical collectable card game (CCG) with a unique twist on the genre. Developed and published by Aggressive Combustion, it is set to release on PC in 2026. The game combines elements of CCGs with a strategic, grid-based board, making it a hybrid between a card game and a tactical board game.

    Key Gameplay Features

    Card-Flipping Mechanic: This is the game’s core innovation, inspired by classics like Final Fantasy VIII’s “Triple Triad” minigame. Players place cards on a 5×3 grid. When a card is placed next to an opponent’s card, a battle occurs based on the strength of their adjacent edges. If your card’s edge is stronger, you “flip” the opponent’s card, turning it to your side and gaining control of that space.

    Tactical Grid-Based Combat: Unlike traditional CCGs, where cards are placed in a line, Versalis requires careful consideration of placement, orientation, and movement on the grid. A single card’s position can have cascading effects, and matches often become a puzzle of outmanoeuvring your opponent to gain a decisive advantage.

    Drafting System: Each match begins with a draft where players select a hand of eight champions from different worlds. This ensures that every match starts with a fresh set of tactical options, rather than relying on a single pre-built deck.

    Archetypes and Dynamics: Champions are categorised into different Archetypes (e.g., Fighters, Protectors, Instigators, Specialists) that provide unique abilities, such as rotating cards, blocking captures, or swapping positions. Additionally, “Dynamics” are special interactions that can be triggered when certain characters are on the board, creating unpredictable twists.

    PvP and PvE Content: The game will support multiplayer matches for up to four players, offering a competitive experience. It will also include single-player trials for players to hone their skills and collect new cards.

    Collectable Content: There are over 50 unique cards to collect, with different rarities and alternate art versions. Players can earn booster packs through matches and trials, and duplicates can be converted into tokens to craft desired cards.

  • Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion is out now

    Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion is out now

    Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion is a third-person mech-action game developed by Marvelous First Studio and a direct sequel to the 2019 title, Daemon X Machina. Released on September 5, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC, the game marks a significant shift for the series by moving from mission-based stages to a more open-world structure.

    https://marvelousgames.com/games/daemon-x-machina-titanic-scion

    Key Gameplay Features: Fast-Paced Action: The game replaces the bulky mechs of its predecessor with more nimble and agile “Arsenal” suits. This leads to a faster, more fluid combat experience with an emphasis on aerial dogfights and high-speed manoeuvres.

    Deep Customisation: A central element of the gameplay is a robust customisation system. Players can loot parts and weapons from defeated enemies to create and fine-tune their mech. The game also includes cosmetic customisation, allowing for personalised armour appearance with decals and colour schemes.

    Open World and Exploration: The game world is a vast, explorable wasteland where players can freely move on foot, fly through the skies, or even ride vehicles like a motorcycle or horse-like creatures. This open structure offers both main story missions and a variety of side activities, including a coliseum for one-on-one battles and hidden areas with rare loot.

    Co-op Multiplayer: Players can team up with up to two friends online to take on the main story and the game’s “titanic” boss battles.

    Loot and Progression: The core gameplay loop revolves around fighting enemies to acquire new parts and currency. The “Fusion” system allows players to alter their character’s genetics to unlock new skills and passive buffs, adding a layer of depth to character progression.

    Story and Narrative: The story is set hundreds of years after the original game and follows a new protagonist, a pilot fighting for a human resistance group against a military regime of “Outers” (mutated humans). The narrative is fully voice-acted and is designed to be accessible to new players.

    The developer of The Guild: Europa 1410, Ashborne Games, recently released a behind-the-scenes look at how they created the game’s live-action announcement trailer.

    Here are some of the key details about the trailer’s production:

    Live-Action Focus: The trailer is primarily a live-action short film that captures the core themes of the game: climbing the social ladder, politics, and building a dynasty in a medieval society.

    Developer Involvement: The most notable aspect of the production is that the game’s own developers from Ashborne Games traded their keyboards for medieval attire and starred in the trailer themselves. This demonstrates their passion for the project and a unique, personal touch.

    Themes and Elements: The trailer showcases a range of medieval life and intrigue, including nobles and commoners, soldiers, thieves, a dramatic execution scene, romance, and a real raven.

    Production Company: The live-action portion of the trailer was created in collaboration with the production team from a company called Gnomon. https://theguild.thqnordic.com/

    Purpose: The trailer’s purpose was not just to show gameplay, but to immerse viewers in the world of The Guild and highlight the narrative possibilities within the game, such as becoming a merchant, a priest, a blacksmith, or a thief.

    The live-action component of the trailer was combined with snippets of gameplay footage to give viewers a taste of the simulation elements and the world they can influence. This behind-the-scenes reveal highlights the hard work and attention to detail that went into creating the cinematic announcement for the upcoming game.
