In Grand Casino Tycoon, makin’ money is the name of the game, and simulated Sam Rothsteins will need to do whatever it takes to keep gamblers gamblin’ and the cash coming in.

War Hospital, a new title by Brave Lamb Studio, was just revealed at Future Games Show, the biggest gaming event of Q1 2021. This unique society survival about saving lives during World War 1 instead of taking them, was one of two new games revealed by the publisher Movie Games.

In War Hospital, the year is 1917. You are major Henry Wells, a retired British combat medic, drafted back and thrown into the nightmare of World War I. Understaffed and undersupplied, you are the last bastion of hope for countless soldiers at the Eastern Front.

The game represents the new genre of society survival, which consists of such games as Frostpunk and This War of Mine.

As the commander of a field hospital, you will build a facility to heal combat injuries while the artillery shells explode ear-splittingly close. The game faithfully depicts WW1 wounds and field equipment, and presents realistic medical tools and methods, giving the player an opportunity to develop them.

The team at Brave Lamb Studio emphasizes the moral side of commanding a WW1 field hospital. The players’ duties will involve triage, the prioritization of wounded soldiers, and require a look in their personal history to determine who should be saved.

Fire Commander Reveal Trailer Unveiled

During Future Games Show, the biggest gaming event of Q1 2021, Movie Games revealed two upcoming games. One of them is Fire Commander, co-produced by Atomic Wolf and Pixel Crow, where you can face the raging inferno. It’s a dream-come-true for everyone who wanted to don the yellow bunker gear.

Fire Commander is a game about leading the most daring firefighting and rescue operations. Taking the genre of a real time tactical rescue game to the next level, it tasks the player with leading a team of firefighters. It’s a rare game about being an everyday hero, where the enemy can’t be outgunned, only outsmarted.

The players will face a variety of situations that firefighters have to overcome in real life, including toxic spills, plane crashes, wildfires and more.

The fire itself will behave realistically, with different types of materials having a different combustion temperature, which could affect the player’s tactics. Digital fire commanders will have to consider such factors as backdraft or smoke. On the upside, they’ll have various firefighter classes, unlockable skills, gear and vehicles at their disposal. They will also see their fire station grow and develop.

Taking care of the team is an important element of Fire Commander. The players will send their heroes on training courses, develop their skills, and monitor their mental condition. This is necessary to ensure that during emergencies, everyone knows what to do, and won’t hesitate to do it.

Not everything has to be brute force. Armies are necessary, of course, but there are other ways to succeed. Build a force of diplomats, for example, and use your flattery as a weapon against others. Or draw wealth and power from the remote regions of your realm to construct a metropolis to be the engine of your economy. You can try many new routes to global power in Europa Universalis IV: Leviathan, coming next month.

Leviathan is the newest expansion to Paradox’s grand strategy classic about the early modern world. The first release from the Barcelona based Paradox Tinto, Leviathan adds new options for diplomatic and economic play, and will be available to Europa Universalis players on 27 April 2021.

One of the highlights of Leviathan is the ability to use diplomatic Favors to gain benefits from other nations. If you post a diplomat to curry favor in a foreign nation, you will slowly build up enough diplomatic power to request material aid, changes in alliances and even the return of core provinces.

Amnesia: Rebirth Adventure Mod Update Released

Geek News, Halloween, News, Trailers / Videos, Windows PC News

One of the top horror games launched in 2020, Amnesia: Rebirth, is now welcoming adventure fans to experience this unique game; safe from monsters, darkness, and jumpscares. Swedish studio, Frictional Games, launched today Amnesia: Rebirth Adventure Mode on Steam, GOG.com, and Epic Games Store, celebrating the release with a fantastic 40% discount! PlayStation will receive Adventure Mode in the next few weeks.

In a Dev Diary, Fredrik Olsson Creative Lead on Amnesia: Rebirth explains the new mode and what to expect!

What’s Adventure Mode?

Amnesia: Rebirth Adventure Mode is a new way to experience the fantastic quest of Tasi Trianon with its captivating narrative, cool environments, unique theme, and challenging puzzles, without the anxiety-inducing, and very distressing elements present in the original game.

“The game still has its very serious theme and sometimes unnerving ambiance, but the new mode feels a lot more like an Indiana Jones type of adventure in places where it would otherwise be more of a horror experience,” explains Fredrik Olsson.

The game is still the same at its core. Following the story of Tasi Trianon, she finds herself in the desolate landscape of the Algerian desert, battling against her fears and pain as she fights to save the ones closest to her. Amnesia: Rebirth will take you through a wide variety of uncanny environments, from scorched deserts and dark caves to forgotten ruins and alien landscapes.

How is Adventure Mode different?

The new mode removes all life-threatening encounters with monsters, as well as the harrowing sound and visual effects that would affect Tasi’s fear levels. The environments are now lit up to a point where you won’t have the same feeling of claustrophobia and trepidation, allowing you to explore freely without worrying about monsters or Tasi’s mental state.

In addition, Adventure Mode includes a number of bonus puzzles that add up to the experience of a true Lovecraftian mystery adventure novel.

“We believe that anyone who loves a good story-driven adventure game will be stoked about this new mode. Not everyone is into horror and we don’t want that to block people from experiencing Tasi’s story,” comments Fredrik. “We did something very similar when we released the Safe mode for SOMA. It was extremely well received and opened up the game to a much broader audience, something we hope will happen with Rebirth as well.”

Without spoiling anything for you, expect a creepy adventure thriller game that takes you on a journey through a wonderfully crafted world. The game conserves much of its dramatic essence going full out with a compelling story – a tense, slowly-building plot to uncover the mystery surrounding Tasi’s situation and her fight for survival.

Adventure Mode is now out on Steam, GOG.com, and Epic Games Store at 40% off. PlayStation will receive Adventure Mode in the next few weeks. If you haven’t already picked up any of Frictional Games’ previous titles you can do so now at an 80% discount, as part of celebrating the release of the new free mode for Rebirth.

Gaijin Entertainment announces that the military online shooter Enlisted (PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S) is going from Closed Beta Testing (CBT) to Open Beta on April 8th, 2021. On that day, players will experience a completely new meta game system, as well as new missions, vehicles, and weapons.

In Enlisted players control infantry squads, tank crews, or aircraft pilots that combine to re-enact massive famous WWII battles. In the CBT, two huge campaigns (Battle for Moscow and Invasion of Normandy) were introduced. The Open Beta version will bring more historically accurate war machines, i.e. US P-38J fighter, Soviet RM-50 mortar, German Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. H. tank and others. As with all Gaijin Entertainment games, Enlisted will receive a constant flow of updates, new content, and new campaigns.

The CBT brought hundreds of implement changes in the game based on player feedback and data. Improvements included enhanced soldier AI, upgraded weapon and vehicle balance, adjusting the maximum number of soldiers in various class squads. The Open Beta launch will include a significantly improved progression system, the influence of random mechanics will be decreased, and players will get more control over the leveling up process. Completing battle tasks to move forward through the Battle Pass levels will be rewarded with unique weapons and high-level soldiers, as well as vehicle skins, experience boosters, in-game currency, and more.

“Founder’s Packs” that give access to Enlisted CBT will remain available for purchase until April 8th and will be removed from the store forever after that, so their content will remain exclusive for the first Enlisted adopters.
