Hi, my name is ColdBeer and let’s start with
Ravenswatch
The Nightmares here are like your ex: spreading and corrupting everything in their path.
You must hone your skills and find the strength to defeat the creatures of the Nightmare using
unique hero abilities inspired by characters from folk tales and legends.
Yeah, you can choose one of the well known heroes, such as The Red Hood, Beowulf or even
Aladdin and hack and slash your way through hordes of monsters.
I wonder if Aladdin can use the help of a Genie.
And if you are granted three wishes in a game... let’s hope that you wouldn't say “I wish
I refunded when I had a chance”.
That probably won’t be the case.
And there is why.
If you played Curse of the Dead Gods, you will be pleased to know that these are the
same developers.
If you didn’t know the game - check it out - it’s one of the best hack and slash roguelites
inspired by Hades.
And Ravenswatch kinda follows a similar visual style as Curse of the Dead Gods and lets you
play alone or in a team of up to four players co-op.
Game’s release is around the corner, so don’t forget to check it out.
Battle of Darkness
Based on the Unreal engine, Battle of Darkness obviously wants to impress us with its graphics,
but this low quality blurry gameplay trailer kinda fails to do the job.
Quite the opposite.
You know, there is no second first impression - these blurry graphics now will forever be
stuck in our heads.
Anyway, the game is obviously in very early stages of development.
Despite that it looks promising.
That sword and ax swinging is kinda satisfying to watch, let's hope in the final version
it will be satisfying to play as well.
I will keep an eye on this project.
Brinefall
Here you will explore dense forests, high mountains, and mysterious ruins as you uncover
the hidden treasures of this world.
In the game's description they say that Brinefall is a unique blend of sandbox and RPG gameplay,
but I don't see anything very unique.
I've already seen all that and even more in Len's Island for example.
And that game is made, as it seems so far, with way more skill.
By the way, it's a great game, check it out if you missed it.
So as in Len's Island here you will be able to build your home, or even whole village
that will be populated with people over time, but It seems that here you won't be able to
grow any plants.
And, you know, it is good that you can concentrate on killing monsters and collecting loot and
not be worried all the time about watering your eggplants.
Although I wouldn't mind if you could brew some beer instead.
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.
And again.
You know the drill.
Anyway, the tower defense element is really strong here as well.
You will be able to play Endless Dungeon alone or co-op with friends, it will also have full
controller support.
Crawlyard
This is a deckbuilder and classic isometric Action RPG hybrid that lets you combine long-term
strategic decisions with real-time combat.
I think we saw something similar in a famous Book of Demons game.
Which is a great game by the way if you are looking for something entertaining and similar
to Diablo - it's literally a parody of it.
So in Crawlyard you will build your puppets, upgrade skills, choose your allies, and solve
the mystery of the Mansion by exploring the deepest tiers of its theatrical backstage.
The battles are real-time, but you can press tactical pause to activate the "deck time"
to look for a life-saving card combo.
You know, in some way it is kinda similar to many games where you are just about to
die, and you, while panicking, click on inventory to eat ungodly amounts of cheese, bead or
even raw meat that makes you sick, but when you unpause, you see that healthmeter rising
up and all the illnesses is the problem of future you.
So Crawlyard looks like a nice casual game.
I will keep an eye on it.
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.
No really, have you seen a dinosaur attacking some weird tiger on National Geographic?
Of course not.
Although on History channel - yeah, you may have seen that.
I can guarantee that some investigational video exists where dude searches for ancient
dinosaurs that are friends with tigers in some Amazon jungle.
You can also play it with friends and, emm... ride them.
Yeah, which is not some adult thing...
this time, you can actually ride your friend to the battle... and not the other way.
Well, you probably don’t have friends anyway, so it doesn't matter how you ride your imaginary
ones.
I don’t judge.
Dreadhunter
Here you will drop into action inside a cutting edge mecha suit.
Shoot, slash, smash and dash to get to the highest bounties as a fearless sci-fi monster
hunter.
Honestly, I think that this game looks really good and I’m glad to see some new trailers
emerge from the darkness.
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.
Just like you.
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.
Hunt The Night
Well, usually I tend to avoid pixel art games, because most of the time they are lazy creations.
You know it's easy to make a pixel art game even if you are not an actual designer.
There are plenty of tutorials on Youtube explaining how to draw in pixel art and it is easy - I’ve
tried it myself and the results were astonishing.
Although only for me.
And I will keep it that way.
So the dudes, who have no actual art in their veins, but know how to code, tend to make
very bad games in this way.
Hunt the Night is not like this.
It is actually a really detailed, beautifully visualized Action RPG.
Here, along with hordes of various monsters, you will endure the ultimate challenge as
you fight boss battles - the ancient horrors of the Night that have been annihilating humanity
over and over again.
You will have to learn their weak points, attack patterns and survive through the different
combat phases as the battle gets more challenging and extreme.
So souls-like element is big here.
Not everyone likes that, but in general this looks like a real gem in the pixel art RPG
community.
Arran: The Book of Heroes
This is a hack and slash co-op dark fantasy adventure with RPG elements.
You can slay through enemies solo or along with up to 5 online players in the dark dungeons
and barbaric lands.
So you may fight as one of 5 different heroes with their unique set of weapons, skills and
combat style.
Also you will customize your chosen Hero with unique Epic weapons, armor as well as unlocked
perks.
So far the game looks like a fun nobrainer for a group of friends, because for solo gametime
there are way better games out there.
At least judging from the poor description on Steam: I couldn't find anything about the
campaign or anything concrete about goals of the game.
Selenwald
This looks like one of the coolest 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.
Yet Another Fantasy Title
In this open-world fantasy RPG, filled with absurd humor and bard music you will become
a rogue.
And of course that is not just a class, you are an actual rogue.
Filthy mischievous rascal.
Most epic characters in other games usually just kill your kind for side quests.
But not you!
Get rid of the handsome knight in shining armor, steal his unicorn and become The Chosen
One… by accident.
So you will go on an epic quest to kill the dragon that terrorizes the neighborhood.
By pooping on them.
Also you will have to deal with marauder orcs and arrogant elves, drink with dwarves, learn
spells from hobo-wizard who drinks way too many potions and steal the ring from goblins.
And all of this is packed in an old-school gameplay style.
Looks like a really nice game, although it kinda reminds me of Rustler.
Especially these horses with police lamps.
That’s a steal.
And if you are looking to play something from the Action RPG genre right now, I suggest
you check out the GOG sale - maybe some of these games, like Book of Demons, are discounted
today.
Or maybe it’s time to play the original Diablo and Hellfire expansion again?

Thank you for watching, have a nice day and I’ll see you next time, bye!
