Absolute Tactics: Daughters of Mercy is a light-hearted, turn-based RPG adventure that puts a modern spin on classic tactics-style games. Featuring a diverse cast of characters, enormous boss monsters, and a dark world embroiled in war, Absolute Tactics plunges players right into the action as our hero Huxley and his dog Max build their team of allies to defend their home against a mysterious invading army.

Control your units and make use of their unique traits to dominate your enemies with masterful strategies that take advantage of unit placement, varied attack patterns, and skills that are as unique as each character. A vast array of deadly enemies, traps, puzzles and obstacles await to challenge you on your adventure.

• Content Rich - 25 narrative story maps plus 11 optional maps, including additional post-game content and horde mode!
• Challenge Yourself - Three levels of difficulty, plus an additional hardcore mode unlocked after completion - challenge yourself over and over again.
• Genre-Bending Gameplay - Shaking up the SRPG experience with diverse gameplay, including large-scale War levels (with dozens of units on the battlefield simultaneously), environmental verticality, puzzle elements and traps!
• Deeply Customizable - Accessible, class-based gameplay for the casual player combined with deep customization and mastery for serious tactics fans. 21 individual classes plus the ability to dual class allows for almost endless combinations.
• Grow Your Character - Unlock upgrades, collect loot, complete quests and meet a cast of colorful characters on your quest for glory.

Seems neat?

And a Homeworld IP sale:

Fucking Sony instead of porting Bloodborne to PC we get generic open world #1488:

Guy with a reliable track record says Bloodborne should be next on PC. God of War and Ghost of Tsushima in some order after that, allegedly.

Lol, I have no idea, just that between him, Sony’s own announcements / corporate shit, and another guy with industry contacts, that the majority of PS4 exclusives are headed to PC on the back of Death Stranding and Horizon Zero Dawn’s “success”.

Did the dude you mentioned troll people over ports or something?

75% off, it's not bad. I got about 50 hours out of the main campaign


there's a lot of different mission types, objectives, etc., felt more fun than most games in the genre

The publisher behind re-release of Siege of Avalon and Diggles re-releases Witchaven.

 

[Siveon]

Doesn't Witchhaven suck, lol

 

[Harthwain]

Doesn't Witchhaven suck, lol

Apparently somebody liked it enough to re-release it. I am always in favour of old games being re-released, because there is always a chance some currently unavailable gem will be brought back.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Doesn't Witchhaven suck, lol

I liked Witchaven 1 and 2 more than Hexen back in the day. Not Heretic though of course. Also wouldn't be surprised if I liked Hexen more these days, but there was a point in time at least where Witchaven felt cooler. Might be the box art doing heavy lifting. As you can see, everything's good except Hexen.

Spoiler

Thinking about this just makes me wish I liked Amid Evil more. Just doesn't have that sword and sorcery charm.

 

[Sukhāvatī]

Good game so far. Main issue is that there's no residual pooling water.

The publisher behind re-release of Siege of Avalon and Diggles re-releases Witchaven.

Hey, the second game too.

 

[Nutria]

The old Battlefield games are 75% off on Steam. I'm really confused though because they're not on sale directly from EA. WTF is going on? Is EA just that incompetent?
