Clash: Artifacts of Chaos
You are Pseudo, a powerful warrior living as a recluse in the strange land of Zenozoik. When you become embroiled in a quest for the Artifacts of Chaos, everything changes. Explore the world and defeat your enemies, but never forget the sacred rules of the Ritual.
The Mysteries of Zenozoik
You are about to enter a strange and inhospitable world. During your quest you will meet unusual characters, travel across breath-taking landscapes, and discover ancient secrets.
The Protector and the Protected
Pseudo is a formidable warrior. Despite his outer stoicism, he is haunted by his memories and chooses to live apart from civilization. This quiet existence is upheaved when he meets a small orphaned creature whose incredible healing powers have attracted the attention of Gemini, the terrible mistress of the Artifacts. Unable to leave the boy to face this threat alone, Pseudo decides to protect him – not realizing that larger forces are at play.
The Only Law
In Zenozoik, there is only one law. According to an ancient custom, the rules of combat are determined by a game of dice using artifacts with special properties. To succeed, you will have to search for the most powerful of these artifacts, fighting your battles according to the ever-changing rules of the Ritual.
Martial Arts
To succeed in hand-to-hand combat, you must master all the ancient techniques. Every warrior, no matter how strong, has weaknesses that can be exploited. Grab your enemies, block their hits, stun them, dodge attacks… every opportunity seized takes you closer to victory, but mistakes can be fatal. To bring down the toughest opponents, you will have to perfect your skills.
One Night, Infinite Stars
Every night, Pseudo’s dreams are so vivid that they literally come to life. Enter his mysterious dreamscape and embark on a multiplayer adventure. Play co-op with up to three players or challenge other players in arena combat.

RavenWeald
Entertaining and addicting!
– Real player with 5.2 hrs in game
– Review written for 3 Point Play –
Ravenweald is a pretty “unique” game I guess? If I were to choose a single word to describe it, I guess that would be the word I’d like to use. It feels pretty much like a mixture of different things: A boardgame, a mobile game, a rogue-lite, a dungeon-crawler, etc.
You know, back when I was a kid, I had this one friend that believed that if he could mix all of the clay colours he had (we used to play with clay back in kindergarten) then he would get some sort of magical rainbow-colored ball of clay. He always ended up with a brown piece of clay, though. Brown is not a bad colour by any means, but it isn’t a rainbow either. It just happens to be a little bit bland.

Blade of Darkness
As it is the case with many other people, Blade of Darkness brings a lot of good memories from my childhood back to me. However, at the time I didn’t understand the game too well, since I was just a child. I remember my cousin explaining to me how to do combos, but after I tried to do them a couple of times, I would just proceed to spam-click the left button. Now, after so many years I finally picked the game up again and, oh, boy, did I have a blast playing through it and beating it at the end! I would say the bosses are quite a challenge, but once you get the hang of the combat, you will have no problem with butchering them. All of the classes are unique and fun to play around with. At first the weapons seem basic, but each and every one of them has its strenghts and weaknesses, depending on the character that’s wielding it. Besides the base damage and defense the weapons and shields have, there are a lot of other different “hidden” stats like range, speed, hitbox radius and so on. And there are so many different places, secret rooms and hidden areas, containing all sorts of goods - food, potions and the best of all - special weapons with unique powers and moves you can perform with them! The enemies have patterns and at first they are a bit difficult to follow, but around the mid-game you are bound to be hacking and slashing body bits left and right. There is nothing more satisfying than dismembering Orcs and leaving their remains in a puddle of blood!

Universe 51: Tannhäuser Wars
Universe 51: Tannhäuser Wars is a free-to-play fast-paced multiplayer FPS, set in a story-rich universe.
Two unfamiliar groups are mysteriously teleported to the same location. Since communication between them is impossible or undesirable, they clash!
Game Modes
Two separate game modes are planned for development. A team deathmatch (divided into casual and competitive play) will be available on-release, while an open world sandbox/exploration mode will be released later down the line.
In team deathmatch, each team starts with a set number of points, called tickets. Respawning consumes 1 of your team’s tickets. When a team reaches 0 tickets and all its members are dead, that team loses.
In sandbox mode, all sorts of things will be available. Vehicle racing, land exploration, amusement park rides, you name it!
Dreams Of The Elements
Met the dev at a convention, purchased the game before returning home to play it. So far I am having a blast, but I will make another review or update this one after finishing it :)
