Oh so Star Wars gets to be turned-based but not Dragon Age. I see how it is EA

'Duòluò Tiānshǐ'

[PC] [TAIWAN] [MAGAZINE] [2000]

"Lost Continent was originally ruled by the Fallen Angels. The Angel War 500 years ago allowed the Holy Angels, who had been in opposition for many years, to forcibly seize control. Most of the defeated Fallen Angels died in the war, but legend has it that there is a force that can gather the power of the elves and help the Fallen Angels revive. Five hundred years later, all power on the continent has been replaced by money, and as a result, three major companies have emerged: Jackson Enterprises, Tyra Trading Company, and Miguel Trading Company. The world is controlled by companies, and this setting is a bit like Final Fantasy and Cyberpunk 2077. The characters in "Fallen Angels" all have their own unique personalities and characteristics. The battle is turn-based, and all actions require the consumption of action points. The AP consumed by each action is different, which adds strategy to the battle." ~"Howling Civet Cat", WLGOOO.com (Machine Translation)

I need everyone to play Cassette Beasts right now

I've recently finished playing Cassette Beasts and it's so amazing, I have no words. I think it's the most hiperfixated I've been on a piece of media since I've first started watching The Owl House nearly four years ago.

It has everything I've ever wanted in a game: a turn-based RPG with brilliant music, an ✨80's aesthetic✨, playable companions you can build a relationship with (both romantic and platonic), a huge island to explore, an engaging main storyline with a plethora of slice-of-life sidequests, elditch horrors beyond your comprehension, an optimistic message about humanity, post-game content, good queer and PoC representation, cute doggos, in short - everything you could ever want and more.

It's lowkey making me want to go back to writing fanfiction for the first time in years just to see more stories set on the island on New Wirral and more interactions between the characters.

TL;DR I'm Very Normal™ about this game

Marco Pirruccio, the head of Operaludica, expressed his excitement: “We’re thrilled to bring the world of Dragonero to life with The Rise of Draquir.

Dragonero: The Rise of Draquir takes place after the events of the comic story Dragonero: The Origin. You'll also follow the journey of five heroes who must save the world of Erondàr. Each hero has their own unique adventure to tackle before they all come together in the main quest. So you’ll get to play as Ian Aranill, Gmor Burpen, Myrva Aranille, Alben, and Sera of Rômelinwe.

There’s plenty of tactical combat, so every decision matters. Take on dangerous enemies, level up your gear, and make sure your squad is ready for action. The more time you spend in a dungeon, the riskier it gets, but the rewards are worth it!

Size Isn't Everything in Turn-based Mini Roguelike 'Rerun'

Being doomed to an endless struggle doesn't exactly sound like the most fun thing... unless it's in a video game. Like, say, Rerun, in which the odds are rarely, if ever, in your favour, and the outcome will always be the same: your demise. But don't let that tiny detail get in the way of your fun!

dotAGE: Folkways Releases to Revolutionize Roguelite

dotAGE: Folkways launches for the turn-based roguelite village builder game for Steam Deck, Linux, Mac, and Windows PC. Thanks to the awesome mind of solo dev Michele Pirovano, who keeps the creativity flowing non-stop. Which you can find now on Steam. Alright folks, buckle up — because dotAGE: Folkways launches for the turn-based roguelite village builder title. It’s bringing some serious chaos (in the best way possible) to your village runs via Steam Deck and Linux. If you haven’t played dotAGE yet, it’s a super unique roguelite village builder, all about trying to survive the apocalypse while managing your little village turn-by-turn. It’s like a mix of strategy, panic, and charm — and now, it’s getting its first ever expansion. Yep, the solo dev behind the game, Michele Pirovano (legend), is back with Folkways, and he’s seriously going all out. So what’s in this expansion? In short: a ton of new stuff that’ll completely change how you play. First off, meet the Pipfolks — new types of villagers that aren’t just faceless workers. They’ve got unique needs, cultural quirks, and give you special bonuses. Some are picky about food, others bring cool perks, and some even trigger special events. Basically, your villages are about to get way more personality — and drama. Then things get wild. dotAGE: Folkways launch also adds Prisons, Cages, Gallows, and... Pip Butchers? Yeah, managing your villagers just got a little darker (and maybe a bit funnier, in a twisted way). You’re not just fighting the apocalypse anymore — you're running a whole messed-up society.

dotAGE: Folkways - Launch Trailer

Oh, and there are over 100 new buildings. We’re talking Gold Mines, Koi Ponds, Aqua Parks, Statues, Inkwells, and even Latrines. Each one adds new layers of strategy and hilarious complications. But wait, dotAGE: Folkways launches with even more! Expect tons of new events, resources, ailments, VIPs, and Boons to mix things up every run. The replayability just went through the roof. And the cherry on top? Three new Elders with wild playstyles:

Trisavolo, the Dwarf King: Build a fortress in the mountains with your hammer-swinging dwarves.

Ronomy, the Old Wise Cat: Yes, a whole village of cats. Herd mice, play with yarn, and survive — cat-style.

Dad, the Jack-of-all-trades: Craft unique buildings, make Pipbots, and cut down forests like it’s nobody’s business.

To celebrate the launch, dotAGE will be front and center on Steam’s homepage on March 23rd with its biggest discount ever — 30% off during the DLC launch window! So mark your calendars, fellow survivors — dotAGE: Folkways launches for the roguelite village builder, and it’s bringing the madness. Time to rebuild, re-strategize, and probably get eaten by Pipfolks. Again. You can find now on Steam for $7.19 USD / £6.02 / 7,01€ with the 10% discount. With support for Steam Deck, Linux, Mac, and Windows PC.
