Highrise City (PC) preview

We all know I love a good city builder or simulation game. Hell we all know here at Savior Gaming I even enjoy the bad ones. But today, I want to show you Highrise city.

Highrise city is basically what happens if you combine SimCity and let Deck13 have at it. The trailers look amazing and it has come a long way since early access. You can check it out over at https://store.steampowered.com/app/1489970/Highrise_City/ or https://www.gog.com/game/highrise_city

Here are some of the main things to look for to enjoy, as well as the trailer. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

A game that changed

Looking back, the game which went into Early Access originally is a different one from what Highrise City is today – from visual overhauls to more complex resource systems. From reworked UIs to massive performance upgrades, allowing players to build multi million citizen cities. With countless huge updates the gameplay was shaped during the development process of Highrise City. Players can now look forward to a competent city builder which gives them the control over everything.



New features to explore

The release update comes loaded with new features. New players can experience a small story and take on research missions. Power lines now have to be built, including substations. Shopping Malls are required by the citizens and mega skyscrapers can be unlocked during the late game. And if players manage to build a multi staged space port they can even unlock New Game+ content with alternate building modes for experienced players.


The transport is public now operational

And yet there’s more. Public transport through buses is now available. Players can set up custom lines to reduce traffic in their massive cities. New resources are available, mayors also need to take care of hazardous waste and the overall balancing, performance and features got slightly finetuned and improved.



The time has come to finally start building mega cities like you’ve never seen them before. With millions of inhabitants, a complex economy system and well balanced systems for beginners and experts.

Deck-building roguelike Tamarak Trail Preview

Tamarak Trail, the upcoming turn-based deck-building roguelike from Yarrow Games and Versus Evil, has received a new blog post going behind the scenes on the creation of its varied bestiary ahead of the game’s launch later this summer on PC, Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox Series consoles.

This post offers a sneak peek at some of the scary monsters you’ll encounter on your travels. These range from rank and file mosquitos and ghost dogs to the more muscular Sluggards and Beetle Weasels. There’s even a first look at the game’s first boss, the dreaded Racoon Moose. Tamarak Trail’s Canadian folklore-inspired forests are brimming with dangers, so even the most minuscule threat could quickly become a force to be reckoned with, as your foes will work together, using their unique skills to heal each other, summon backup, and buff their companions.

These are just some of the monsters you’ll encounter on the trail; No two runs will be the same, so you may encounter more of one monster type versus the other. Remember, knowledge is only half the battle here. Strategy and dice customization will also go a long way!

More about Tamarak Trail
As a member of a secret society named the Sturgeon Lodge it’s up to you to piece together the mystery of a decaying earth, hunt down the source of this corruption and put a stop to it at all costs. Embarking on this adventure, you can choose one of three characters; The Magician, the Tracker or the Detective, each with their own unique abilities and traits. Depending on your preferred playstyle, the character’s different skills and attributes allow you to craft a unique strategy for your character as they navigate the ominous trail. Procedurally-generated paths create a myriad of possibilities where you can encounter events, monsters, campsites, treasure and more. Every new discovery reveals new bonuses and strategies to explore.

To combat the monsters and nefarious foes you’ll encounter, you’ll have to be tactical in your dice-building, as each face could mean the difference between victory or defeat. Different dice sides can be used to attack directly, apply buffs and debuffs, inflict damage over time, defend yourself, to “flip” them to another side for combo awesomeness and much more. You can even apply “dice cores” to secure passive abilities. You’re given direct control of your dice rolls, and getting them to smack together allows you to create killer combo attacks. In true deck-builder fashion, dice faces can be customized with more abilities after each victory, adding new attacks, defenses and combinations to take forward into future battles.

 Play the new demo for the post-apocalyptic narrative-driven RPG Broken Roads

Independent game studio Drop Bear Bytes, in partnership with Versus Evil, have an all new demo of their upcoming isometric RPG Broken Roads on Steam. This will give players a taste of the post-apocalyptic Australian Outback odyssey ahead of its release later this year on PC, Switch, Playstation and Xbox platforms.

Broken Roads is a narrative-driven RPG that brings exploration, strategic turn-based combat and meaningful philosophical choices to an all-new Australian post-apocalyptic setting. This demo puts players in the role of the Hired Gun, one of four origin stories available in the final game. Your starting story impacts your reputation, how people interact with you, and even where you begin your journey and which locations will be available to you. In the full game you’ll be able to choose a different origin story, including that of a Jackaroo, Surveyor or member of a Barter Crew.

For demo purposes, all moral choices will be visible. In the full game however, some of these will be hidden based on how you roleplay your character – though there will be a settings option to unlock all these for those who prefer to play that way. Your companions and other key characters each have their own hidden moral leaning, and will react to your statements, choices and general attitude based on their own world view. 

“We decided to reveal all moral choices for this demo to give players an indication of other paths you can take when you create a character with a different world view,” said Craig Ritchie, Game Director at Drop Bear Bytes. “Broken Roads is a dense game, with each character having their own set of values. We want each NPC’s world view to reveal itself slowly as they react to the player, so your choices affect not only the path through the game, but how much you learn about – and connect with – the game’s cast.”

Broken Roads skillfully blends traditional and all-new role-playing elements on top of a classless system offering near-unlimited character development options built around four philosophies: Humanist, Utilitarian, Machiavellian, and Nihilist. Furthermore, the game presents players with an original morality system: the Moral Compass which sees dialogue options and questing decisions influence, and be influenced by, a character’s philosophical leaning and the tough choices they make along the way. 

Broken Roads’ locations are all authentically recreated from the team visiting towns and landmarks in Western Australia and taking photos, videos and audio recordings for it to be as true as possible. Furthermore, even the game’s atmospheric soundtrack composed by Tim Sunderland is produced with instruments constructed from everyday objects which brings a wholly unique and distinctive tone to the game.
