Explosive brawler Catgirl Rage: Claws of Fury launches in 2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Catgirl Rage: Claws of Fury is coming later this year — just a few short months away — and it looks to be an explosive experience filled with excitement, action, and most of all: catgirls aplenty. Play by yourself or team up with a friend to take on herds of enemies on your way to save a corrupted world, and see plenty of pixelated catgirls along the way. It brings the blood-pumping action of a multiplayer beat-em-up and pairs it with the modern twists of a Soulslike. What more does one need to
Tearscape Review: enticing but rough blend of old and new (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On the surface, Tearscape looks just like a throwback to a simpler time of adventure games, when combat, exploration, and puzzle-solving were the bones that built an 8-bit experience. Thanks to two and a half decades of innovation in its sails, Tearscape takes the foundation of a two-dimensional, top-down adventure and stuffs it full of anachronistic mechanics like stamina meters, trinkets, losing currency upon death, and save points carefully planted throughout the map.

Major military clashes are at the forefront of this release’s fantasy world, where you can raid, trade, and strategize for a stronger front in each of your countless battles. This has all been done before, of course, as the real-time strategy genre is well-trodden land in the gaming sphere. But what sets Sword & Banner apart is its excellent pixel art direction, giving life a
Black-and-white adventure Lelu gets demo (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Something about the top-down adventure game genre has captured the interest of game developers these days and Lelu seems like another hit for the genre. Lelu is an upcoming fast-paced release by developer Jamie Rowan and it looks like the perfect combination of Link’s Awakening on the original green-and-black Game Boy with the combat systems of a Hades-like. The Game Boy comparison may have come to mind thanks to the game’s signature monochromatic art style, but perhaps a more current comparison
