Yes, Your Grace, "kingdom management RPG":

The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, VR only thing but it seems to have actual, action RPG-ish gameplay with narrative C&C and resource management. Set in New Orelans:

ss_73a0837168bc164a9c8629c11f16d318fc39320a.600x338.jpg


I have no idea why this has to be VR only, not VR supported.



Lost Empire 2977, some kind of sci-fi action RPG:

Make the Codex Great Again! RPG Wokedex Strap Yourselves In Codex Year of the Donut Codex+ Now Streaming! Serpent in the Staglands Shadorwun: Hong Kong Divinity: Original Sin 2 BattleTech Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Pathfinder: Kingmaker Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag. I'm very into cock and ball torture I helped put crap in Monomyth
agent XIII is up

Oh, nice! My CD of the original game got dirty so I couldn't reinstall it but I did want to play it again someday.

Seeing all these RPG hybrids coming out is so weird. I've never heard of 3/4 of them and I'll never play 96/100 of them. But if 12 year old me had had access to any - any - of these games, they would have become the complete focus of his young life. What a time to be a gamer.

EDIT: Will they keep the original Adam West voice acting, I wonder? :cry:

EDIT EDIT: Waaaaait, what kind of non-English speaking lunatics made this?
With questions not missing, neither are the bullets!
The XIII remake devs are based in Malta. Their native tongue is Maltese. I didn't even know that was a language until just now.

Some codex slav said the russian reviews were funny for Warsaw stating things like how Poles were an aggressor in world war 2 or something. So far it seems like the actual mixed reviews are mostly about difficulty.


A turnbased tacticool game from the guys behind the braveland series


Destiny 2 is on steam now as well


Yu-no remake/remaster/whatever is on steam

It's not like DD wasn't ripping off Mignola big time. I kind of enjoy all the games trying to copy that style now, it's so pointless and silly.

If it's not the Darkest Dungeon artist himself this is some daylight theft :salute:

In be4re EYES ON THE CHARACTERS LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE

Tbh, from the vids it seems that they learnt all the wrong lessons from DD and DD already was the definition of an incredibly well-polished turd (that I liked a lot because ambience, the gameplay itself overstood its welcome and the grind was insane). Plus I wonder how much variety you can get with simply Nazis to shoot.

EDIT: It's a pity tho, the set-up is very interesting and novel.

Didn't really care for DD gameplay, becomes far too RNG heavy. Not a bad thing in itself, but it just turns your units into cannon fodder because of a bad RNG streak which is boring for me.
I'd be entirely unsurprised if DD is actually scripted to perform 'negative' RNG streaks.

Shadowplay: Metropolis Foe, turn-based Chinese cyberpunk RPG?:

Well, I was excited until seeing the core is a card game.

We are the reflection below neon lighting. We are the remnants of desire. We are the deprived and the humiliated. Those at the top, they shudder at the mere thought of breathing the same air as us… But what's ironic is that the reason that this world is so beautiful, the reason it is so insane, the reason it is so worth living is because they can't get rid of us, and they never will. Look through the prism of my eyes, of my life, and perhaps you will be able to see a world entirely different from the one in your imagination; but, then again maybe you were right all along? Then you're crazy, just like me.

·You've most likely never come across a card game with such an extensive plot before.
A plot with hundreds of thousands of words, and it is no bedtime story at that. All the goings on in Starcity are as crazy as it gets! Take on the role of a band of lawless rebels in this strange gargantuan cyberpunk city with battle and adventure around every corner! The city also hosts dozens of lurking informants: find them, take on the missions they give, and bring the city under your control!

·Companions, each with unique abilities and complex personalities.
The story features more than 10 characters, each with distinct personalities and unique decks. Take companions with you to confront challenges ranging from robot guards to labyrinths of the mind! Want to storm the CEO offices to the accompaniment of explosions, to sneak past guards or take out opponents with a well-honed slash of your sword? The decision is yours!

·Cards perfectly complement the plot.
Exploring the city will open the map up to you and the city itself is full of uncharted opportunities, with each step along the way bringing about changes to your deck. No matter whether it's wounds from the battlefield, psychological suffering, allies' assistance or a gang's hit list, they may all become cards in your deck, granting your battles a whole-new level of unpredictability. Each choice you make has a chance of showing up as a card, bringing victory to you—or to your opponent.

Still sounds a bit interesting.
