Ablahshikar is a maximalist, sickos only salvage-survival CRPG about ripping organs out of warships and pawning off strange goods that's now out in early access
Sometimes, you come across a game and instantly know it's for the sickos. Today that is Ablahshikar, a "turn-based salvage-survival CRPG adrift on the Candle Sea" where you rip out the organs of enemy warships to "rebuild your vessel into a doomed chimera," that is out now in early access. To be honest I could have just called it a CRPG and still labelled it as a game for sickos, yet everything that's going on here is obviously just doubling down on the sick factor. Read more

After a 16-year long dev period, Faraway, a shooting star arcade game about siphoning the energy of other stars, is out now
Lord almighty, video games take a while to make, 'ey? Especially if you're just one person working on it by yourself. Such is the case with Faraway, out today, an arcade game that reminds me of the early days of PS3 indies "about a shooting star that creates constellations to stay alive," all made single-handedly by creator of cult-classic mobile game Eliss, Steph Thirion. Did I mention that Faraway took 16 years to make? Like I said, game development is a lengthy process. Read more

Feature: What Were Japanese Action Adventures Like Before Zelda?
"Japanese people didn't have a well-defined sense of the RPG". It's fun to try to pinpoint the precise origin of genres. No matter which game popularised a concept, with enough digging and creativity you can probably find an earlier precedent. For survival horror, surely Pac-Man and Haunted House could qualify as progenitors? It's the same with action-adventures and The Legend of Zelda , released on 21st February, 1986. We just have to comb through everything before that day... right? This genre sphere is extremely complex, originating alongside and overlapping traditional turn-based RPGs. That classification at least is easy. In Japan, you have two distinct eras: experimental RPGs before Dragon Quest , and everything which came after Dragon Quest. But when the combat aspect is real-time, the scope expands exponentially, leading to many fringe examples. For example, to what extent should you include 2D side-scrollers? Could Namco's Dragon Buster be considered part of the evolutionary tree which led to Symphony of the Night ? Some say that Zelda isn't even a "true" action-RPG. So let's focus on games that, as much as possible, resemble it. Read the full article on timeextension.com

We Have So Many Questions About This Stellar Blade Launch Trailer
"Take EVE everywhere". Shift Up has launched a new live-action launch trailer for Stellar Blade: Complete Edition on Switch 2, and it's... well, we have so many questions. To be fair, the message is clear: take EVE wherever you go, right? It's a nod toward the Switch 2's portable nature, though why EVE is interrupting someone's gaming session to brush their teeth is a bit odd now, isn't it? Read the full article on nintendolife.com
