Look, I’m not sure if you could find a person who was more excited when Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes than I was when it was announced. Dustborn might prove to be the ultimate video game road trip when it releases soon! This clever premise has a lot of ground to cover as the group moves from locale to locale, and the game sports colorful visuals inspired by graphic novels with the promise of an emotional narrative and a memorable cast of characters. Various groups stand in her way, so naturally Pax requires the help of a ragtag crew of other outcasts and misfits who also have superpowers. Platforms: Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Sony PlayStation 4ĭustborn is touted as a story-driven action-adventure game about “hope, love, friendship, robots - and the power of words.” The tagline immediately got my attention, as did the scenes of you quite literally using words to do battle! Players control Pax, a four-month pregnant woman who happens to be an ex-con with superpowers, and she must transport a very important package across a dystopian America. At the end of the day you’ll find that beneath the grime and gore lies surprising profundity and sophistication. What do these old gods with blood leaking from their eye sockets demand of you, and what role will you play in this cosmic tale? There are sure to be existential questions posed, and it will be up to you to try to find some meaning in your insignificant life. With smooth twin-stick controls tied to an old-school RPG mentality, Death Trash makes for an enticing unholy marriage in its bizarre, post-everything pixel hellscape. But after playing the demo, I was immediately ready for more of what German developer Crafting Letters had to offer in its labor of love over five years in the making. Let’s get it out of the way: Death Trash is disgusting. Platforms: Linux, Microsoft Windows, macOS The fact I might be able to beat my friends at an adorable kart racer while playing as Vivi, one of my favourite video game characters? This can’t come to Switch soon enough.
But really, Square Enix, you can’t hide all of those Final Fantasy IX things, such as both Vivi and Steiner being playable characters, and not expect me and many others to get wildly excited.

As you’d expect, it’s chock full of references too, with stages based on Final Fantasy VI‘s Zozo and Final Fantasy VII’s Gold Saucer, and power ups come in the form of magicite. This sequel to 1999’s PlayStation-exclusive Chocobo Racing looks like it’s taking lots of inspiration from modern day Mario Kart. Okay, I know I haven’t been vocal about wanting another Final Fantasy racing game, but Chocobo GP‘s announcement made my eyes light up.

After all, we’ve waited 14 years, so what’s five more months?ĪI: The Somnium Files – nirvanA Initiative As a massive fan of the series, I’m happy to give them all the time they need. Though initially expected in December, WayForward recently delayed the launch into spring 2022 to fine-tune the gameplay. But in June 2021, entirely unexpectedly, Nintendo revealed that they entrusted fan-favorite developer WayForward to remake the first two GBA entries of the series with a brand-new art style, 3D graphics, and revamped gameplay. The closest thing we got to a new entry since then was its phenomenal spiritual successor Wargroove. Unfortunately, after its latest release in 2008, the series went into what appeared to be a permanent hibernation. If you were a Game Boy Advance-owning turn-based strategy fan in the early 2000s, a cartridge of Advance Wars likely had a semi-permanent home in your handheld! The first Western entry of the long-running Japan-only series, Advance Wars combined a cartoony and accessible presentation with deep and rewarding turn-based mechanics.
