Hi, my name is ColdBeer and let’s start with The Lamplighters League
Here you will sneak, steal, and shoot your way through a world of pulp adventure!
Travel across a variety of exciting places around the world and outwit your enemies in
strategic turn-based combat - and, if you play your cards right, you might save the world.
But hey, it's you, so the world is kinda screwed.
The plot is set in an alternate 1930s, where a tyrannical cult called the Banished Court
stands on the brink of world domination. For millennia, all that stood between this sinister
cabal and their plans were a band of heroic scholars known as the Lamplighters League.
Unfortunately, the best of the best are all gone, so now it's up to the best of the worst.
That's what the game's description said. But I have my doubts - best of the worst... doesn't
that mean the best at being the worst? You know, technically the worst of the
worst is the best of them, right? So you are gathering your team from the very bottom.
Anyway, you will recruit a team of misfits and scoundrels with unique abilities and unforgettable
personalities and chase the Banished Court to the ends of the earth in a mix of real-time
infiltration, turn-based tactical combat, and a character-driven story of adventure
and intrigue. Project Haven
This is a squad tactics game set on the mean streets of the last city on Earth. You will
command the Steel Dragons, a mercenary group fighting for survival in the harsh near-future.
Select and control squads of mercenaries as you battle gangsters,
rival groups and corrupt government forces and make a difference where you can.
Manage your crew’s stats and gear, wrangle a diverse range of mercenary personalities,
and conquer the deep tactical elements. As events unfold, you will learn the harsh
realities of a grim megacity full of desperation and dark secrets. Witness
the gritty lives of people around you and experience a story-driven campaign with
fully voiced and motion-captured characters and cinematics.
The game looks great, let's hope it will play great as well.
Zoria: Age of Shattering This is a squad-based tactical RPG with turn-based
combat, outpost and followers management. The world of Zoria has now fallen prey to the
sheer brutality of the hellspawn that roams this land. Its lush forests, mysterious caves,
and majestic buildings have transformed into haunting and dreadful locations.
You will have to explore unknown areas, as each holds a mystery, challenges, countless
groups of monsters and vicious bosses. In your control there will be a team of
four heroes with their unique skills and perks. Every team member contributes to
battles using their unique abilities. You know, like melee or ranged attacks,
healing spells, shield abilities and so on. So here for a perfect outcome you must exploit
surroundings for your advantage or create new ones to separate you from the enemies.
I played the demo and I can tell without a doubt that I was impressed and Zoria is one of the few
games I have in my wishlist. You can try the demo version for free on Steam as well.
Frigato: Shadows of the Caribbean This is a Real-Time Tactics stealth game
set in the intriguing realm of pirates. You will take command over a motley crew of sea rogues and
sneak through ships and across harbors. Visit mystical islands, iconic locations
and lead your team to victory in a race against the British Royal Navy.
All you have to do is to snatch the Caribbean’s most valuable treasure. But beware! Tales warn of
an ancient curse and monsters guarding it. So here you will also discover the shady past
of an aspiring captain and his crewmates. And utilize a diverse repertoire of character
abilities to successfully defeat your foes. Also you will investigate marine legends of cursed
islands and mermaids. By the way, which version of mermaid would you prefer? With the woman’s head
or with fishes? You know what I mean. Game is being created by a small team of
developers, so let’s hope that they won’t cut corners and will make a game worthy of legends.
Or at least of a spoon of juicy potato salad. Railroads & Catacombs
Game is obviously inspired by such titles like Darkest Dungeon and looks really good. This is a
roguelike turn based tactical RPG game where you create your cards from scratch adding different
upgrades and making them more and more powerful - they are your tools of mass destruction.
Cool thing is that your main base is based on a train. The only way to survive here is aboard
this steel beast on rails. You will expand it and build different wagons, and each one will
provide a unique advantage for your gameplay. Railroads and Catacombs looks like a simple game,
but I can see the insane amount of work hours injected into it during the creation
process. So this may be a simple, but really cool game to try.
Showgunners I was really impressed by this game's
story and setting. Here, in a dystopian future, where corporations rule, a brutal reality show is
the hottest entertainment property in town! You play as one of the contestants driven by
revenge. To win, you must navigate dangerous urban arenas packed with lethal traps and face off
against hordes of heavily-armed psychopaths. Every stage in Showgunners is hand-crafted to
create a curated, turn-based tactical gameplay experience. It is heightened
with the inclusion of a diabolical show director that can hinder you or help your
opponents depending on your performance. This level design ensures that no two levels
play the same way and keeps you thinking tactically.
If this kind of show would be streamed in real life, I would be a subscriber,
no doubt. Also you can try the free Showgunners demo version on Steam.
Jagged Alliance 3 In this sequel of legendary tactical
strategy turn-based franchise you can select from a huge cast of mercenaries, with their own unique
personalities, quirks, and backstories. Then go out and explore the land as you
meet new people, earn money, grow your team, and ultimately make your own
decisions that will decide the country’s fate. Here you will also find a campaign that you can
play alone or with friends in online co-op mode. Control territory, train the locals, command
multiple parties, and defend against enemy forces in an alive, active world. You can
customize your weaponry and even decide on the fate of the country in an open RPG structure.
So let’s hope that your mercenaries will be really important figures,
not like in other games where they die permanently on missions and you just replace
them with another soldier. That kinda takes the RPG layer away and leaves only strategy.
Baldur's Gate 3 I won’t be lying when I say that Baldur’s Gate
3 was one of the best games I have ever played. Of course I played the Early Access version,
but the sheer amount of possibilities, different outcomes and freedom kinda put a spell on me.
I honestly say that I wait for the full version of Baldur's Gate 3 way more
than I wait for Starfield for example. By the way it’s an open world game, you can
go wherever you want, in any direction. Well, any direction not blocked by the mountains.
And while you wander around you can stumble on amazing or creepy things. Like the very
moment of gnoll creation, creepy witch hut in the woods or a nest of almighty owlbear.
Also you can speak with dogs, wolves, bears and cats if you have a skill. I think it’s a
must have. Extremely fun experience. If there is a way in life to get a real insult from a cat,
it’s worth it. Fog & Silver
Game is set in a fantastic, mystical, and dark reimagined Europe of the late 19th century;
with a focus on atmosphere-driven story, powerful items, and in-depth character customization.​​
You will join this era of mystery and innovation as a famous person from history
or books, also known as an Exalted. To battle a mysterious foe trying to wipe
out your kind, you will assemble a highly capable team of like-minded characters.
In the world of Fog & Silver, the most advanced technology of the Victorian era and the occult
forces from beyond our world coexist happily like beer coexists with its bottle.
But this friendship has come to an end: there is a deep rift widening between followers of
Technology and the Occult, forcing everyone to pick their side in a struggle of supremacy.
Judging by the available gameplay footage - Fog & Silver has great potential. I'll be keeping an eye
on this game, that's for sure.​​​ Miasma Chronicles
This may be a real treat for all of us, because it is a new project of the
creators of the famous Mutant Year Zero. It is a tactical RPG strategy adventure where
you will embark on a quest across a post-apocalyptic wasteland torn apart
by a savage force known only as the Miasma. You will play as Elvis, a young man brought to
the mining town as a baby. Left by his mother in the care of a robotic older
‘brother’ and given a mysterious glove with which he can control the Miasma itself.
Uuuuu... You will explore things in real time, but the
combat here is very strategic, turn based and with many elements of RPG. You will also be able to
upgrade your weapons and abilities so the feeling of progression will never leave you here.
Looks good, will definitely talk more about this game in the future. As I always say,
any game which starts with “my ass” in its name is worthy of my attention.
Thank you for watching, have a nice day and I’ll see you next time, bye!
