Mediocre Monster

Mediocre Monster

–by developer Opal Squad – Imps. Goblins. Slimes. Shitake Mushrooms. These are a few of the first and weakest monsters you face in classic RPGs like Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and Chrono Trigger. These monsters lead a depressing existence: walk around the forest, get slashed by a level 1 hero a few times, and disintegrate in an orange blur. Or so you think.

The game puts the player in control of Gob’s everyday life and career. Majority of the time is spent either interacting with the townsmonsters or working as a random monster.

Shock Tactics

–by developer Point Blank Games.

Shock Tactics is a single player turn-based sci-fi strategy game with tactical combat, exploration, squad management and base building. It is inspired by the space western style of Firefly, the massive weapons of Warhammer 40k and games like Jagged Alliance and X-COM.

You are a trailblazer for the first wave of the free Space Pioneers that are exploring an ancient alien homeworld. In their century old struggle with the dictatorship of the Imperial Consortium, this planet is the first real hope of finding a new home for their people.

Armor Blitz

–by developer Gaudium

Armor Blitz is an upcoming mobile game where you can assemble a squad of WWII anime-style tank girls and lead them to battle in lane-based combat. The gameplay consists of a mixture of card collection and tug-of-war lane battling. Armed with a small force of tanks, you must fight back against the force of the Corruption. As the General and commanding officer, it is up to you to give the orders and find the source of the mysterious invasion.

Lucy4

–by developer Nine Cats

Lucy4 is a 2.5D side scrolling adventure game where you control Lucy – a product of an abandoned secret project. Use laser or close combat weaponry to dispatch of any enemy that stands in your way!
