zool might be one of the most overrated platforms ever. right after superfrog.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

Retro Golden Age - The Abbey of Crime, repackage(?) of 1987 Spanish isometric adventure thing:

Hmm.

The screenshot on the right is from the Amstrad CPC-version. If that were from the upcoming release, that would probably be the first CPC-game to be released on Steam.

But it likely isn't. This is probably a port of the 2016-remake of the game released (for free) on all major home computers OS, including Linux.

Blood West, from the developer of POSTAL: Brain Damaged:

Supplice, from doom mappers and lead artist of Ion Fury:

And not related to these, some kind of edition of Sea Dogs?

Supplice looks very cool. The fact that the lead artist for Ion Fury is working on it is great as well, that game had top-notch visuals.

 

[Wunderbar]

And not related to these, some kind of edition of Sea Dogs?

it's basically an enhanced edition of "Sea Dogs - To Each his own". If you already own the base game and DLCs, you can get this upgrade at a discount.

Anyone missed Grimrock clones? Hyperstrange, the Postal: Brain Damaged developer thinks so, as they publish one.

An ancient structure, long buried under Lisenian woods, is slowly rising as if summoned by an unknown force. Atop of it, stands Skullstone stands – the dreaded entrance into the darkness below. Evil creatures emerge from the under-realm, killing brave men and women, snatching the elderly and the helpless children. While the local monks waste time praying in their monastery, pondering on how to deal with the fiendish infestation, the mayor of the town of Lisentar takes matters in his own hands, calling for mercenaries.

Choose from a roster of 20 characters, each with different set of skills and abilities. Tough warriors, agile archers, healing clerics, and powerful wizards are all waiting for your call. Gather your party and lead it into the Skullstone dungeon. Accept quests, kill monsters, find treasures and claim rewards. Develop your mercenaries to survive the dangers hidden in the darkness, progress through different levels and prepare to face the ultimate evil! You know, same old story... or is it?

Brutal and Bloody Dark Fantasy Action-Adventure Game Blade of Darkness Gets Updated Re-release on PC
Classic, Relentless, Hardcore Hack ‘n Slash Gameplay and...Blood, Lots of Blood, Makes an Updated Return to PCs This October
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


London, UK (August 13, 2021) — Today, video game publisher SNEG Ltd. is thrilled to announce that the timeless action-adventure classic, Blade of Darkness, will make its way to PC via Steam and GOG.com this October. Updated for the modern generation of gaming PCs, the re-release of Blade of Darkness will give players the chance to experience the relentless gameplay with unique and vicious combat mechanics and role-playing elements that helped to pioneer the “soulsborne” genre and influence so many modern, beloved games. With its original 2001 release, Blade of Darkness earned kudos for its unrelenting and varied gameplay and unique combat mechanics.

>helped to pioneer the “soulsborne”

This always cracks me up. Dude with a sword in third person = it's obviously souls before souls!!!1111

 

[Riskbreaker]

What they likely mean is blocking and stamina, combined with bleak fantasy vibe and difficulty. There's definitely some similarity between Souls and Severance's combat and I'd wager that folks who played Severance would've felt it when first playing Demon's or Dark Souls.
Still there are precedents both in earlier, first person From RPGs and in other Japanese titles, so it is perfectly feasible that nobody at From ever touched or saw Severance during Demon's Souls development.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Severance>souls

 

[Don Peste]

Die by the Sword > Blade by Rebel Act > Severance by Christopher Smith > Not having mental health issues

 

[Black Plague]

It happun.

[Jenkem]

I tried the White Hell demo and I want to like it because of the Finngol qualities but man the enemies just kind of run back and forth and you have to headshot them 2-3 times to kill them. It kind of ruins things.
