GLOOM GATE | AN RPG TOO INTERESTING TO IGNORE

A tiny monochrome dungeon running on a yellow handheld with a crank is not exactly where we expected one of the more interesting RPG concepts of the week to appear, but Gloom Gate managed to pull us in almost immediately. pcdoorz is, first and foremost, a PC-focused site, and that is not changing, but Beyond PC exists for exactly this kind of occasion when something outside our usual ecosystem is simply too interesting to ignore. Developed by Lucas...

KNIGHTS OF FRONTIER VALLEY | OLD-SCHOOL RPG ENTERS VERSION 0.5

Some RPGs wear the old-school label because they use pixel art, an isometric camera or a character sheet filled with numbers. Knights of Frontier Valley is interested in something considerably deeper than that. Adamant Studios is building its game around many of the principles that defined computer role-playing games of the 1980s and 1990s: limited hand-holding, permanent character decisions, dangerous exploration, tactical turn-based combat, survival systems...

REVIEW | THE BLOOD OF DAWNWALKER | CHOICE 1ST, FIGHT 2ND...NICE

The easiest way to misunderstand The Blood of Dawnwalker is to approach it expecting another combat-first action RPG wrapped in expensive dark fantasy production. Rebel Wolves certainly gives it swords, monsters, vampiric abilities, dodges, blocks and enough violence to satisfy that description on the surface, but the game becomes much more interesting once it becomes clear that combat is not the center around which everything else has been...

PREVIEW | MANDATED FATE | 1 INSPECTOR, 5 ENDINGS & HUGE POTENTIAL

A surveillance camera turns above a narrow street while enormous government screens illuminate buildings that were already old before the Empire learned how to control gravity. Somewhere inside this vertical capital, an Imperial Inspector is expected to solve a murder without asking the kind of questions that might embarrass the people who gave him the case. This is the uncomfortable position at the heart of Mandated Fate, an upcoming narrative RPG...

ANGELIC: DARK SYMPHONY | TACTICAL SCI-FI IN A POST-HUMAN FUTURE

A distant colony has stopped responding, synthetic immortals are returning after two centuries of absence, and something far less understandable appears to be moving through the darkness with them. That is the foundation Angelicore Game Studios has chosen for Angelic: Dark Symphony, a newly announced cinematic science-fiction RPG built around turn-based tactical combat, a large cast of distinctive heroes and a setting that pushes futuristic...

GAMEPLAY PRESENTATION | MANDRAKE | CHARM & SERIOUS PROMISE

A quiet walk through Chandley now lasts long enough to show what Mandrake actually feels like when it is allowed to breathe. Failbetter Games has released a new gameplay presentation running for just over twenty-four minutes, with the footage originally created for Telltale’s Choices Matter Festival on Steam. The author and publisher of the video is Failbetter Games itself, so this is a guided look at the experience the studio wants to communicate rather...

REVIEW | SOVEREIGN TOWER | MANAGE THE COURT, REWRITE FATE

A newly crowned ruler sits before a procession of worried citizens, demanding nobles, foreign representatives and eccentric knights, each convinced that their problem should become the kingdom’s immediate priority. One request may involve trade, another a dangerous creature, while the next could begin as an absurd inconvenience before developing into a political crisis. Sovereign Tower rarely gives its monarch enough information to guarantee the correct...
