Looks pretty low budget for an anniversary game… Too bad they never ported the much higher quality OG games on steam

 

[lightbane]

Fuck yeah, Getter Robo Armaggedon! Shame I still have to play the other games that were launched for PC (but not OUTSIDE of Asia legally, so it was pirate time). Knight's & Magic is standard isekai drivel with a Mary Sue protagonist that never loses, so no idea how it will fit here. The mecha here are subpar and derivative IMO.

Also, eew, the ugly-as-sin and extra-derivative SRX is back, along with its terrible pilots.

 

[CyberModuled]

So SRW 30's page on Steam is up with pre-orders... globally.

CyberConnect2's Little Tail Bronx series RPG Fuga: Melodies of Steel releases on July 29

CyberConnect2's Little Tail Bronx series RPG Fuga: Melodies of Steel releases on July 29

The Ghibli esque tanks and the washy watercolours look gorgeaus, the core idea of playing gunners in a massive tank is genius.
But why oh why has this game to be Unreal bait?

 

[LESS T_T]

CyberConnect2, the developer, they've been pushing this furry steampunk worlds for a long time. I only played Tail Concerto, PS1 3D action adventure/platformer thing, it was fine.

 

[Derringer]

CyberConnect2 are the .hack furfags, it sorta looks like they did an alright job with the art direction and budget they had.

pfft everyone knows a game has to be at least 10 years old to bait me

I played their DS game, it was alright, but the charming art-style made it quite better. Despite the animal humanoids, it's clearly more going for a cartoon angle than furfagottry... Not that this difference will stop such deviants anyway, but that's not the game's fault.

cartoon anime animals are much better for yiffing than furfags' creations, ackshully

 

[lightbane]

Funny thing is that the Little Bronx games are actually a "post-post apocalyptic setting".

Spoiler

In the Solatorobo game it is revealed that humies went extinct after killing each other with Titanomachias, super-weapons of mass destruction, like the tank is implied to be one, but now made better/worse since the tank's most OP weapon needs willing sacrifices.
Either way, in the Srobo game it's also explained that humies hidden somewhere, waiting for their chance to come back. The bad guy in that game was actually a system to reboot the world by terraforming everything, killing all sapient life so that humies can come back.
So, the animal people may be a result of natural evolution, or some sick bastard making a lab experiment that escaped.

Which is why it's extra funny when legit French words are used, or that the Germans start doing German things... Again.

I have been playing this it is actually a good game and surprisingly hard. I hate furries with passion but I dont mind characters and the art style is very charming.

 

[Reinhardt]

How many kids you killed already?

 

[lightbane]

Does the Fuga game feature multiple endings? It should, if only a bad one you get when you kill too many kids.

El Shaddai for PC comes on September 1st, costs 40 bucks.

El Shaddai is another name for God that explains another aspect of who God is. God first introduced Himself as El Shaddai to Abraham in Genesis 17:1

Nippon Ichi's 2007 tactics thing Soul Nomad & the World Eaters is coming to Steam

WTF...are they really going to just stretch 4:3 screen to 16:9, and call it a day? When I saw screenshots on Steam page I thought maybe it's just how they uploaded them on store page. Is this actual "remaster" work for them?
