Space Cats Tactics Gameplay Trailer Released

Raise your shields and prepare for a warp jump, because Mitzi Games presents today the space opera turn-based tactical RPG Space Cats Tactics. Mixing grid- and turn-based tactical combat with inside-ship crew management, as the roguish space cat Captain Mitzi you will fight in nerve-wracking space combat against all kinds of enemy ships between asteroids, huge motherships and clouds of cosmic gas — but you will also have to manage your crew while you do it, choosing which parts of the ship to operate to take advantage of its different capabilities.

Your species, a hybrid of feline and man, was created by humans as a caste of slave warriors; but eventually catkind managed to break your chains and liberate itself. Still despised and feared, you are great warriors and pilots, but your people do jobs no one wants… Like, for example, your current job: smuggling a space ship to a remote corner of the galaxy, with the government army chasing you, facing almost impossible odds!

On top of all this, Space Cats Tactics offers an epic tale of struggle and conflict in the best tradition of space opera, where your choices and dialogues will shape the story of Captain Mitzi. It’s up to you if you try to be diplomatic or gun-toting, if you become a hero or a pirate.

After a successful crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, Mitzi Games has released a free demo of Space Cats Tactics that you can play now on Steam!

Stronghold: Warlords Co-Op Reveal Trailer

Firefly Studios has revealed a unique ‘shared base’ co-op mode for their upcoming RTS Stronghold: Warlords. Allowing players to share control of a single castle when playing together online, the game’s co-op mode is different from regular team-based multiplayer. In addition to being able to party up and build separate castles in team deathmatch, Stronghold: Warlords will also allow players to share control over a large shared army, peasant population, castle defences and network of warlords under their command.

“Stronghold is already a complex game for newcomers, with the mix of economic city building, castle simulation and real-time strategy” said Marketing Director Nick Tannahill. “Introducing co-op means that one player can handle base building, while the other leads their forces into battle or prepares their defences for an incoming siege.”

The new warlords system, which allows players to command a network of unique warlords across the battlefield with their own castles and armies, also benefits from this new game mode. Co-op means advanced players can share the ‘grand strategy’ gameplay between them, optimising their use of each warlord for economic or militaristic purposes.

Early on in a match one player could manage their castle estate, while the other forms alliances with warlords to bring in valuable resources and secure strategic positions across the map. Then in the endgame while one player lays siege to the enemy their co-op partner can divert resources and direct pincer attacks from nearby friendly warlords.

Now scheduled for release on March 9th 2021 on Steam, players can find out more about Stronghold: Warlords by visiting the game’s official website: www.StrongholdWarlords.com

Pineview Drive and Joe’s Diner Come to Nintendo Switch

UIG is proud to announce, that Pineview Drive and Joe’s Diner are now available for Nintendo Switch. Both games are first-person horror games in which you have to deal with the mechanisms of repression, trauma, the horror of loss and a good dose of psychology nightmares.

Pineview Drive is your average suburb road with rows of whitewashed walls, curtains half opened, and pretty flowers adorn the gardens. However, this lovely journey changes when you get near the end of the road, and you come across an old abounded mansion.

The story was 20 years ago, a man and his beloved wife Linda stayed at this estate. During their stay, Linda vanished without a trace, and her mysterious disappearance is still unresolved. Now the husband is back to face his fears and see if he can find a route back to his wife.

Pineview Drive challenges you to search for hints and solve puzzles. You cannot protect yourself from evil in the game. You can only avoid it. However, watch out, your fear is tracked and monitored, and you lose health if you get scared.

Joe’s Diner is the typical drive-by restaurant that you would come across on American highways. The outside has large windows and inside bare tables and chairs and long food counter to sit and chat with the staff. All very welcoming. Except when you scratch under the surface Joe’s Diner’, it would seem all is not good because they built Joes Diner on a sacred Ancient Indian burial ground. Amongst the buried, are two rival chieftains who when they were alive couldn’t stand each other. The Chieftains want to rest in peace.

As an employee working the graveyard shift for the next month, your primary task is to keep the tables clean and avoid any noises. Survive a month of night shift and send them both to the eternal hunting grounds… Sounds easy, but it’s not – I promise!
