Adam’s Venture: Origins now Available on Nintendo Switch

 

Adam’s Venture Origins released on May 29th from publisher Soedesco.  The game takes place in the 1920’s and you play as Adam Venture and will attempt to unravel the secret of Eden. There will be puzzles to solve and ancient ruins to explore. I personally have not played the game myself, but the story sounds quite interesting, and as you can see from the launch trailer above the game does a nice job capturing the feel of being in an underground temple. I have listed a few of the games features below, best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

 

  • Delve into ancient ruins and recover mysterious artifacts
  • Try to solve clever and creative puzzles on your journey
  • Traverse long forgotten tombs and crumbling cities using the grappling hook
  • Get involved in a rich storyline that weaves adventure with historical overtones

Snowrunner Out Now on PC, Xbox1 and PS4

Snowrunner is one of those games from Focus Home Interactive and Saber Interactive made for a very niche market of gamers, kind of like Farming Simulator 19. I was lucky enough to get a review code for this one and I can say a few things about it, such as graphically the game is beautiful and it plays well.

Independent game developer Fabled Game Studio today launches a rehauled version of its popular roguelike card game Pirates Outlaws on PC via Steam for £15.49 / $19.99 / €16,79, with a 25% discount in the first week of release.

Originally released to critical acclaim on iOS and Android, Pirates Outlaws is a roguelike card game where you build your deck and develop combos as you become the most notorious pirate to sail the seven seas. Choose from one of many playable heroes, with a range of different abilities, as you scour the seas to improve your deck from amongst 500+ cards and 150 relics while engaging in turn-based battles with all foes that stand in your way.

This PC release of Pirates Outlaws removes micro-transactions and features a fully completed Arena with decks and enemies from all six chapters – doubling the content available in the Early Access version. A new buccaneer has arrived to take up the chase! The new hero “Doctor”, with his ability to rise from the dead, will be available for players to conquer the high seas with. Another new addition is a tutorial to help recent recruits to better understand the mechanics of the game. All hands hoy! All loot and additions from the entire six chapters, including the most recent Fabled and Eastern Seas updates, will also be included.

Choose from two game modes: In Navigate, you sail from isle to isle on a procedurally generated map, conquering the seas as you battle outlaws and bosses while building the ultimate deck and refining your combat style. And then there’s the Arena, for players who prefer a greater challenge. Here you are thrown into an arena filled with enemies, armed only with your premade deck and relics, tasked with defeating unique champions as you aim to attain the 20 available trophies in order to unlock special upgrades and new skins.

Build your deck and amass your riches as you set sail in the most engaging deck builder of 2020. Charting your course through a procedurally-generated swashbuckling voyage has never been so captivating. Tactical use of your cards and loot are essential. Manage your ammo, armour and coins and sell unused cards in order to strengthen your deck.
