Hi, my name is ColdBeer and let’s start with Gatewalkers
This is not just a standard action hack and slash game - it has a strong survival element
implemented. So you will have to drink and eat, also avoid darkness and cold all the time. Well,
let’s hope that you don’t have to clip your nails, wipe your but and brush your teeth as well.
Gatewalkers is a cooperative game where players travel across
different worlds in order to save their own. Here you have to explore procedurally generated
lands, face hostile inhabitants and various challenges. Like extreme weather conditions, toxic
or unbreathable atmosphere, terrifying darkness, penetrating cold, and your mother-in-law.
Ok, maybe not the latter. I played the alpha version and
honestly I was impressed. The combat was a bit clunky, but the game kept my interest
for way longer than I was expecting. This is a fresh take on action RPGs and it
really deserves a place in this list. Or maybe a fireplace so you could burn all this survival
nonsense out of it. Superfuse
An alien threat looms in a new comic book inspired Action RPG where you will take
on waves of grotesque minions and bosses with up to 4 friends. Or go to hack and
slash killing spree alone and uncover a vast conspiracy that endangers all of humanity.
Here you will become an actual superhero in a world where superpowers
are controlled by society’s elite! And you know it's kinda funny - here you
are a legit superhero and in many other RPG games you are just a simple villager with some godlike
powers you obtained for no reason at all. “Hey you just decapitated a dragon with a
fireball of death, revived the inhabitants of the town, eradicated zombies and made everyone's
ding-dong longer! Are you some kind of god?” “Oh no, I’m just a son of blacksmith”
Superfuse has procedurally generated levels and developers are bragging about
never fighting the same way twice and so on. But hey, that reminds me of the moment when I
go to my closest grocery store - Lidl, and I find bread instead of beer in the old place.
They occasionally re-arrange everything and are saying that this is a good thing.
That is not good that sucks, but that also means that Lidl is procedurally generated as well.
Combat Complex This is a fast-paced
sci-fi action RPG. You are alone, facing hordes of enemies and evaporating them to
shreds with your legendary guns and armor. Your augmented body hides many devastating
abilities, skills and talents, but as always you will have to unlock them all by leveling up.
I can already see a few things I like and a few I don't. In the whole video
I haven't noticed any loot drops from enemies despite that in the description
they are promising great loot. That is not good. Well, maybe they will implement the loot dropping
part later, but in recent years I saw a few games that went bankrupt because the looting was lame.
Like Magic: Legends for example. Magic who?
Exactly. And another thing I'm not a fan of - confined spaces. Come on, it's not like we don't
have PCs that could generate open areas without a sweat. Good thing is that Combat Complex is really
fast paced and has really satisfying combat. Also it has cool enemies. Like that centipede
giving me actual heebie-jeebies. That is great work, no doubt.
Selenwald While I was making this
video it was widely thought in many websites that the game will be released in 2023, but while I was
writing about it - the real date of Selenwald’s release in 2024 was dropped by the publisher.
So I decided to keep the game in this list anyway - no harm will be done,
also this is one of the coolest looking isometric games I have stumbled on.
Selenwald is an action roguelike RPG that combines challenging combat with strategy
and resource management. Here you will take control of random adventurers to fight and
sneak your way through eldritch horrors roaming the ever changing halls of Selenwald university.
If your character dies, it dies for good. You will have to choose a new, random
adventurer and embark on a new adventure. The visuals and details of the game are really
impressive, I can see that developers are injecting a lot of work into it.
I have already put it into my wishlist, looks like a real gem in the making.
Endless Dungeon If you know the game
called Dungeon of The Endless then you must erect your... ears and eyes for
this new upcoming title. From the same developers comes Endless Dungeon.
This time they have chosen way cooler isometric projection instead of flat top-down visuals.
Endless Dungeon is a Rogue-lite tactical Action RPG where you will recruit a team of shipwrecked
heroes, plunge into a long-abandoned space station, and protect your crystal against
never-ending waves of monsters… or die trying, get reloaded, and try again.
So Tower defense element is really strong here as well.
Sometimes I don't even know what to call some games and what list to assign them into,
because a lot of modern games are an insane mix of various genres. Don't get me wrong,
that is beautiful, I love experiments. You will be able to play Endless Dungeon
alone or co-op with friends, it will also have full gamepad support.
Coridden At first it looks like a
usual hack and slash game, but then you realize that you can turn into the animals you kill.
This whole game is filled with crazy animal battles that would not cast a shadow of shame
even on National Geographic videos. You can also play it with friends
and, emm... ride them. Yeah, which is not a sexual thing...
this time, you can actually ride your friend to the battle... and not in bed. Friends with
benefits suddenly have a different meaning. Also you can achieve more things together,
reach unreachable places and so on. I don’t know how they will implement this into a single player,
because you can play alone as well. Game will let you explore different paths
in the choice-driven dialogues and the various quests you can take on
during your mission to save your people. All that while riding your friend.
Dreadhunter Here you will drop into
action inside a cutting edge mech suit. Shoot, slash, smash and dash to get to the highest
bounties as a fearless sci-fi monster hunter. You will defeat swarms of screeching monsters
and slay ominous horrors to discover that the biggest dreads in the Universe don’t have claws
and rocket launchers… Wait what?
I don’t know. Honestly, I think that this game looks really
good and I wasn't even aware of its existence before I started to sculpt this list for you.
So here you will enjoy a badass combat experience that rapidly changes between ranged and melee.
You will have to keep yourself in constant motion, as the monsters are fast and deadly.
I think Dreadhunter looks like some hybrid between classic and modern visuals and the gameplay looks
more than cool. Let's hope it not only looks but will be actually cool as well.
Gimle: The Broken Prophecy Here you will explore the dark world
of Gimle based on Norse mythology. Discover forest thickets and mountain trails, explore
evil-ridden towns and villages, and mysterious tombs full of dangerous underground tunnels.
Sounds cool, but looks... well, weird. I don’t know why this graphic style was chosen to
represent the game, but it kinda reminds me of the early 3D games some 20 years ago where you
could choose either to run them with a 3D graphics accelerator, which nowadays is commonly known as a
graphics card, or just with the pure power of your CPU. You know Pentium with 133 MHz of power.
So those of us who couldn’t afford the 3D graphics accelerator had to
play their games only with the help of CPU and they looked exactly like this game.
So what happened, I don’t know. Maybe they started developing the game in 1998,
maybe it’s a project of a century. Despite that the gameplay looks cool though, it may be an
interesting title after all. Diablo 4
Definitely one of the most anticipated titles - a next generation Action RPG
set in a fully realized open world. Here you will be able to fully customize your hero,
change the beard, hair, gender or skin color without any problems. Well you won’t
be able to change a gender color though. Good thing is that the game is gory - you will
see dead bodies everywhere with the intestines splattered all over the place. Blizzard is known
for desexualizing and degorifying its characters and games, so I'm glad to see that the gore is
still left. But we never know for how long. In trailers we see one thing and in reality we
might be running over flower fields instead of bloody pools and Blizzard will be like "yeah,
we changed that bit, we want Diablo 4 to be family friendly".
And honestly I wouldn't be surprised. Anyway 150 dungeons awaits you in game. In
game which will require you to have an internet connection all the time. That sucks. I know how
bad the reconnect function in Hearthstone is for example - Blizzard fails in this field until this
day so don't get your hopes high up. Path of Exile 2
Rumors are that the game will be released only in 2024 or maybe even in a year of 2025, not
much information was given to us since last year. But recently there was a surge of good news.
ExileCon 2023, which will take place in July in New Zealand, will be completely dedicated
to Path of Exile 2. During this event not only will the whole game be showcased,
with all the significant events and mechanics, but the date of the beta will also be announced.
Also visitors on site can expect to see a playable demo for the first time. Not 100% guaranteed,
so take your pants and dildos out of the suitcase, don't go to New Zealand just
yet. They are planning to showcase the game at Gamescom in Germany next year as well,
maybe that is a bit closer to your location. And if you liked this video, then for sure
you will be interested in similar lists of upcoming RPG games. Choose one now,
don't hesitate, let's be friends with benefits. Let’s ride each other.
And now thank you for watching, have a nice day and I'll see you next time, bye!
