  • Walk With a Giant — BURGGEIST Steps Onto Switch 2 October 27

    Walk With a Giant — BURGGEIST Steps Onto Switch 2 October 27

    Your fortress has a heartbeat. And soon, it fits in your hands.

    Independent developer and publisher GHRIAN STUDIO has officially announced that BURGGEIST, the towering real?time action?strategy adventure first released on PC via Steam, is marching onto Nintendo Switch 2 — arriving exclusively on the Nintendo eShop Tuesday, 27 October 2026, priced at $12.00.

    Tailored specifically for Switch 2 — with optimised controls, a crisp interface, and performance tuned for both handheld and docked play — this isn’t just a port. It’s the full, soaring experience of building, defending, and roaming the vast highlands of Aliscans, now portable.

    Command Two, Fight as One

    BURGGEIST reimagines strategy through partnership. You play as Étoile, moving freely across the battlefield, while simultaneously issuing orders to Burggeist — a colossal, sentient walking fortress who is your shield, your weapon, your home, and your greatest ally.

    • Dual?control real?time tactics — position Étoile on ridges and plateaus while directing Burggeist to advance, guard, or unleash devastating attacks
    • Height is your strongest weapon — cliffs, valleys, and elevated ground aren’t just scenery; they’re your most powerful advantage
    • Build the Tower, defend the hope — gather resources, raise your spire toward the heavens, and hold back waves of enemies determined to tear it down
    • Seamless open?world exploration — roam Aliscans freely, discovering hidden regions, meeting distinctive NPCs, and finding gear that reshapes how you fight
    • Deep customisation — evolve your abilities and Burggeist’s capabilities to match your preferred playstyle, from aggressive advance to stalwart defence

    A Story Written in Stone and Sky

    Years have passed since Lucile fell into a mysterious, motionless slumber. Her husband Ignace, a mathematician, has searched desperately for a cure — until a message appears out of nowhere in his stepdaughter Étoile’s notebook: “To free Lucile, you shall build a tower that reaches the heavens.”

    That is your mission. That is why Burggeist walks.

    The experience features a fully voiced narrative in both Japanese and Carglish — an original lyrical language created uniquely for this world — alongside text support in English, Japanese, and French.

    From Steam to Switch 2 — Refined, Ready, Yours

    Originally launched on PC in October 2024, BURGGEIST has been rebuilt and polished to shine on Switch 2. Every sweeping vista, tactical clash, and quiet moment of exploration is designed to feel immersive and responsive — whether playing on the go or docked to your TV.

    BURGGEIST launches on Nintendo eShop — tomorrow, 27 October 2026 — $12.00.

  • Build, Defend, Survive — Death Falls: Zombies Are Coming Revealed!

    Build, Defend, Survive — Death Falls: Zombies Are Coming Revealed!

    Build by day, fight by night — and never let the horde overrun you.

    Independent South African studio MoonCrust has today announced Death Falls: Zombies Are Coming, a tense new twist on tower-defence action where you don’t just watch from the sidelines — you fight alongside your defences. The Steam store page is live now, and the game is set to launch in 2027.

    Daytime Prep

    When the sun is up, you’re busy fortifying your ground:

    • Construct walls, fences, and specialised towers across hand-crafted locations — from forest clearings to abandoned towns
    • Scavenge weapons, resources, and supplies scattered across the map
    • Recruit survivors to help you hold the line and expand your capabilities
    • Repair your mobile RV base — your lifeline and your transport to the next danger zone

    Nighttime War

    When darkness falls, the undead swarm in — and you’re right there in the thick of it:

    • Join the fight personally alongside your defences, wielding shotguns, flamethrowers, chainsaws, and more
    • Adapt on the fly — reinforce failing sections, lure zombies into kill zones, and use the terrain to your advantage
    • Survive the night — hold out until dawn, then move on to the next stop and do it all again, stronger and better prepared

    On the Road

    This isn’t about holding one spot forever — it’s about pushing onward:

    • Each stop is a unique, hand-built environment with its own layout, threats, and resources
    • Fix up your RV between locations to unlock new capabilities and upgrades
    • The horde grows deadlier the further you travel — every decision matters

    Death Falls: Zombies Are Coming blends real-time strategy building with visceral top-down shooter action — and it’s coming to Steam in 2027. Wishlist it now to stay updated.

  • Protect the Pit new Demo

    Protect the Pit new Demo

    If you’ve been looking for a tower defence game that swaps generic knights for gritty, subterranean chaos, the Protect the Pit demo is officially calling your name.

    It’s a refreshing take on the genre that focuses as much on resource management as it does on tactical placement. Here’s the lowdown on why you should give it a download.

    The Premise

    In Protect the Pit, you aren’t just building towers; you’re defending a central excavation site—The Pit—from relentless waves of underground horrors. It’s dark, it’s atmospheric, and it feels like a mix between Dungeon Keeper and modern rogue-lite builders.

    Key Features in the Demo

    • Verticality Matters: Unlike flat-map defenders, the terrain here is your best friend (or your worst enemy).
    • Dynamic Pathing: The enemies aren’t mindless drones; they’ll find the weakest link in your perimeter if you aren’t careful.
    • The Upgrade Loop: The demo gives a solid taste of the tech tree, allowing you to specialise in high-damage ballistics or elemental crowd control.

    Why It’s Worth Your Time

    The demo does a great job of balancing the “chill” vibes of a builder with the frantic “oh no” moments when a swarm breaks through. It’s polished, the sound design is incredibly crunchy, and the learning curve is gentle enough to get you hooked in about ten minutes.

    Pro Tip: Don’t cluster all your heavy hitters at the entrance. In the current demo build, splash damage is king—spread your AOE towers to maximise the “choke points.”
