Souped up hexagons: Ready to lose hours to Warlock II

A couple years back, Destructoid’s handsomely verbose Fraser Brown reviewed a strategy game of his ilk that didn’t instantly fill me with dread and and remind me of my general inadequacy.Warlock: Master of the Arcanewas ostensibly a 4X game, but with a much greater focus on straight up, scorched earth warfare and colorfully cliche fantasy characters, versusCivilization V‘s equally hexagonal historical pretension. “I could play this,” I thought. I never did, because initiative is beyond me....

Sunless Sea DLC slated for October release

Zubmariner will be its first piece of downloadable content Sunless Seais one of those games on my rather impressive backlog that I’ve been meaning to check out for a fair while, but for one reason or another, have yet to play. While theKickstarter-fundedindie game did receivea rather favourable reviewby Destructoid’s Ben Davis, I’ve simply not got around to playing my copy yet. Now that its first expansion pack –Zubmariner– has been confirmed for an October 11 release date, I should probably finally give this game a fair go....

Todd Howard says Nintendo Switch has ‘one of the best demos I’ve ever seen’

‘We’re definitely going to be supporting it’ It’s still rare for anyone to have seen or tried Nintendo’s new Switch console. Only the most influential folks in the industry have had any hands-on time with it, and their lips are sealed thanks to a surely-stringent non-disclosure agreement. Bethesda game director Todd Howard is one of those people, and while he couldn’t say much, he still had extremely high praise for it....

Trials Evolution gets 36 more tracks in ‘Origin of Pain’

When downloadable content was announced forTrials Evolution, I got nervous. The last thing I want to do right now is go back to see how badly my times are performing on the leaderboards, especially knowing that there’s nothing I can do given my rusty skills. It looks like those fears were well-founded; based on this trailer, the new content looks worth getting. Origin of Painis the DLC in question, available as of today for 400 Microsoft Points....

Watch how Captain Ginyu calls in the Ginyu Force in Dragon Ball FighterZ

Toku Sentai I’m hyped forDragon Ball FighterZand all (of course), but I do wish its character trailers were a bit longer. At least Captain Ginyu’s trailer (following upNappa’s from the other day) confirms a few things wegleamed from the previously released images. Ginyu’s special moves involve calling out the other four members of the Ginyu Force, and his (most likely) level 3 super combo will use his body swapping ability. Since it gives you your opponent’s health, I’m pretty sure it’s going to be a high risk, high reward type of move like it was in theBudokaiseries....

World of Horror is gonna mess us up in February

Scary stories to play with the lights on World of Horror, a lo-fi horror RPG in which “sanity is dwindling” in a quaint seaside town, can’t possibly end well for anyone–not while Old Gods are in the picture. The game has five protagonists, “each with their own story and a different perspective on the events that unfold,” and it’s bathed in dread. Developer Panstasz has committed to a PC, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch release toward the end of 2020, but first up,Steam Early Access....

Yoshi’s Safari is what happens when Mario finally snaps

I remember a lot of the stupid discussions that were had on the schoolyard. Mario should have a gun.Zeldawould be cooler if there were guns. Kirby needs a rocket launcher. Apparently, in the ‘90s, guns were just the height of cool. You’d brag about it if your parents let you watchRobocop, and therefore everything needed to beRobocop. Strangely, though, the concept of Mario with a gun did happen.Yoshi’s Safari. It was one of the games that supported the Super Scope, and it was completely batshit....
