I’m back from the depths of hell—yes, the hell of a stomach virus that hit me last Thursday and only loosened its grip of vomiting, headaches, and fever by Sunday. Now I’m feeling great and ready to tackle the work week ahead, especially with updates from Turn Based Lovers. Let’s dive into the weekly recap of what’s set to debut this week.
Skygard Arena
An exciting tactical RPG debuts today, blending a compelling single-player campaign with a core focus on PvP combat. Choose from a roster of unique heroes, each with specialized skills, and even combine them to unlock unexpected synergies. We’re working on a video preview, which should be ready by this afternoon if all goes according to plan.
Dimensionals
For fans of vibrant visuals and dynamic gameplay, Dimensionals lands as a colorful deck-builder featuring superheroes straight out of 90s cartoons. With massive boss battles and the ability to mix abilities across your party of three heroes for devastating combos, this one is a must-try for card game enthusiasts.
Forgotten but Unbroken
Swap the colorful worlds for the cold, brutal realities of World War II in Forgotten but Unbroken, an XCOM-inspired tactical game. Set during the war, you’ll face off against Axis forces through espionage, guerrilla warfare, and tactical assaults. Beyond combat, the game features strategic layers where you’ll negotiate with factions to secure resources and upgrade your equipment.
Seer’s Gambit
Before the clock strikes midnight (but even after that), you’ll have a chance to check out Seer’s Gambit, a charming roguelite autobattler with delightful pixel art. Created by the developer behind Obsidian Prince, this game offers semi-automatic combat influenced by your use of special abilities and troop positioning. Explore its world to uncover new powers and conquer its challenges.
Toads of the Bayou
If you’ve somehow powered through all of Monday’s offerings—or skipped them—Tuesday brings Toads of the Bayou, a tactical roguelite with a swampy twist. Face off against Baron Samedi and his minions in a tactical game featuring beautiful pixel art, a settlement-building mechanic, and a combat system blending tactics with puzzles.
Demiurges
On Wednesday, Demiurges enters Early Access, offering a retro-inspired experience for fans of Heroes of Might and Magic. With base-building, exploration, tactical combat, and the conquest of key locations, it’s yet another solid entry in the growing lineup of HOMM-inspired games.
Starsim
Wrapping up the week is Starsim, launching Thursday, November 21. This deep space strategy game combines pausable real-time fleet battles with turn-based boarding combat. The managerial depth is impressive, letting you trade, explore, encounter alien species (befriend them or make them your next meal), or embrace the life of a ruthless space pirate.
That wraps up this week’s recap. Let me know if I missed anything—by now, you know how to reach me. Wishing you a great week ahead!
