Story The Ambrose Isles are home to many things: A pirate hideout, a treacherous swamp, an abandoned desert kingdom… But for those who prefer a danger-free life, Katti Town is the place to be. One night, Katti Town found itself besieged by a horde of shadowy minions and their leader, Lilith. But hope was not lost–before Lilith could claim victory, a traveling knight named Freya appeared and drove back Lilith`s forces with ease. Now known as the Hero of Katti Town, Freya took three villagers under her wing: Sera, a warrior-in-training; Thomas, an apprentice mage; and his partner, the mischievous thief Jake. Together, they train to protect Katti Town and the Ambrose Isles. But one question remains on everyone’s minds: Why is Lilith attacking the isles to begin with… And who is Freya? Features Traditional turn-based JRPG system featuring a regenerating MP system for fast-paced combat, powerful team-based attacks and no random encounters! Difficulty options for those who seek challenge–or only want to focus on the story.

Chained Echoes (PC) is the latest game to add to my completion list. I heard the dev is still going to update it further with a New Game+ and such later, so I'll see how that goes I suppose.

Demo 2.0 Since launching the demo in October 2022, we received a tremendous amount of support and critiques from all across the spectrum. I wanted to personally thank everyone who's played the game thus far - it truly means the world to us! Over the past months, Cameron and I dug into all the feedback, and rebalanced many aspects of the gameplay experience itself. In some cases, we added entire new systems (such as swimming & fishing). The demo will still contain the game's first chapter, but with some significant overhaul & refinement. I believe this version represents a more accurate picture of what the final game might feel like! A list of changes Added GUIDE Menu: A sub-menu allowing the player to check the map, view quests, enemy details, game mechanics, and more. Swimming: Certain bodies of water are now traversable! The player can also dive to reach hidden gold, chests or underwater switches! Active vs Wait Modes: The player can now CHOOSE if they want battles to run on ACTIVE mode (a FF7 style ATB), vs WAIT (enemies won't attack continuously until the player chooses). This can be changed at any time in the menu. Maiden Statues Rebalanced: Statues will now only give a GODDESS TEAR item if the game is running on Story Mode. Otherwise, they only offer a single-use heal. Fishing: Use your fishing rod + lure at certain locations throughout the game! Over 15 unique fish to catch! Item Messages: The "Item Found" message boxes now will show a small visual icon of each item once it's been obtained! Golden Chests: New varieties of treasure. Chests will look visually distinct if they contain Gear/Equipment. Stats Rebalanced: Some enemies adjusted according to player feedback. New locations: Chapter 1 has been greatly expanded with over 4 new optional areas & hidden treasures. Graphical Bugs: Minor visual bugs fixed.

People kept rumoring that RE5 Remake would happen after RE4 Remake, although most seem to want a Code Veronica Remake far more... Seems like Capcom is putting to rest whether or not an RE5 Remake is even a question currently by suddenly updating the existing Resident Evil 5 game on Steam. Here is the Patch Notes: - Removed Games for Windows Live support. - Will support local split screen co-op. - Some other minor bug fixes.

Update came to Pokemon Scarlet & Violet today along with some costume dlc and an announcement of two expansion packs coming later this year in Fall and Winter. With this update, we have added new features, new functionality for Pokémon Boxes, and fixes for bugs that affected game progress, among other updates. We will continue to take your feedback very seriously and take measures to improve your gameplay experience

Kennedy who faces several enemies in a mission to save Ashley Graham, daughter of the President of the United States. Players control Resident Evil 2 lead, U.S. agent Leon S. Kennedy, on a mission to rescue Ashley Graham, daughter of the President of the United States, from a Spanish village dominated by Los Illuminados, a violent cult worshipping an ancient parasite, years after the events of his introduction.

Resident Evil 4 features modernized and improved visuals compared to the original, with a tenser atmosphere, improved character designs and enhanced backgrounds. As in the original game, the player will organize their inventory with an "attache case". The Merchant also returns, allowing the player to buy, upgrade, and trade items. He will also provide new side quests that may be completed during the main story. In combat, Leon can roundhouse kick enemies to push them away, as well as new parry mechanics which include blocking attacks from a chainsaw with a knife.

Summary Beloved Rapture is story-heavy RPG inspired by the SNES-era. A game exploring trauma, mysticism, friendship, and LGBT themes. The narrative takes place amidst an epic conflict, yet the interpersonal stories take center stage. Characters challenge not only the next looming dungeon boss—but themselves, and their own demons. Plot Johan, an introverted young man from the countryside, finds himself thrown into a conflict beyond his comprehension. The Aeons—an enigmatic religious faction—move ever-closer to his hometown. Now faced with a threat to his once-elysian way of life, Johan must contemplate the role he is destined to play in their escalating conflict. At his side are Aiden, the mysterious son of a Shrine caretaker, who has trained since childhood in the mystic arts; and Crysta, a runaway noblewoman intent on ending the war before it reaches her family. Through their travels, Johan is intrigued by Aiden's increasing fascination with him, as well as the appearance of Draco, an Aeon soldier with a connection to his own mother. Features Turn-based combat with a focus on the challenge! Six total playable characters, each with unique stats & skills. NO random encounters, and no forced grinding! A mid-length RPG that focuses on storytelling, rather than filler side-quests. Choose from Classic or Story mode(s) to cater your experience. A complete 16-bit OST, and SNES-inspired pixel art crafted with love.

I finished the Switch demo. I got the relic it mentions cause I found the hidden shop lmao.. but I ain't about to replay that final boss using that relic. It reduces your HP by -90% but with successful blocks you'll only take 1 dmg per hit. But still I never actually used the block mechanic at all lmao. Even without my HP reduced though, the boss in the demo had a certain skill it'd occasionally use that'd nearly wipe your whole party out even when they were full healed. He used it against me three times. An interesting mechanic in this is that if a party member is KO'd, they'll auto-revive after a few turns. So as long as you don't get a full wipe, you're okay if you can manage to hang on until they revive... but that is easier said than done sometimes. Anyhow, really enjoyed the demo!
