Deep Sky Derelicts is really a hard game to pin down genre-wise. It’s survival. It’s a turn-based RPG. It’s sci-fi. It’s got tactical combat. It’s got more than that too. In fact, if there was anything to compare it to most closely, it would be Red Hook’s Darkest Dungeon. And that’s a compliment to both games, believe me. I had the chance to spend some time with an early access build of Deep Sky Derelicts and have a few thoughts to share.

After an aeon on handheld consoles, Monster Hunter is making its way back to the big screen in spectacular fashion. With an open beta weekend unleashed, we sent Gareth Harmer to find out more.

Have you played Dungeoneers? Have you heard of it? It’s likely the answer to both questions is no, and that’s a shame because Rogue Sword has created an excellent and addictive RPG in your browser.

The premise of the game is, with an impending ice age coming, an experiment turned entertainment enterprise drops “inmates” into harsh conditions to try and survive against both the environment and other players.

Wild Buster: Heroes of Titan is the upcoming Action MMORPG from Insel Games, the publishers of Guardians of Ember, but from a different developer – Nuriworks. The best way to think of it? Wild Buster is basically the lovechild of Borderlands and Diablo, though Borderlands already was Diablo +Shooters… you get my drift. Over the top action, cartoony gorey violence, and lots of weapons in a Mad Max-esque dystopian future. But does it play well? That’s what I wanted to find out.

With the hotly anticipated release of Star Wars Battlefront II rapidly approaching, one question that has yet to be answered is this: What does DLC look like and how much will it cost?

The only thing Star Wars fans have been looking forward to more than the upcoming Last Jedi film installment is EA’s latest iteration of the Battlefront series. Now, with Star Wars Battlefront II’s launch just around the corner the veil is being lifted and we got a chance to go hands-on with everything multiplayer and see what we can expect from the full version of the game.

I’m sure we are all familiar with Relic Hunters Zero, the awesome game where you play cool characters running around defeating all the Ducans and their Commander with all kinds of awesome weapons. If you are not familiar with it you should give it a go, it is fun and free. Now the pressing matter at hand is that Rogue Snail is developing Relic Hunters Legend and we were lucky enough to get our hands on a pre-alpha build.

It’s Friday the 13th in October. You know what that means… someone has taken the time to release a freak show of a game during the year’s spookiest month. Read on for Rob’s first impressions.
