French development studio and veteran pen and paper players, Tactical Adventures announced today its tactical RPG, Solasta: Crown of the Magister, is available now on Steam Early Access for $29.75 (a 15% launch discount). The Solasta: Crown of the Magister Early Access campaign features brand new elements of verticality, a unique team-based adventure and over 10 hours of authentic tabletop gameplay.
Wizards of the Coast has granted Tactical Adventures a license to use the Dungeons & Dragons SRD 5.1 content and rules in Solasta: Crown of the Magister.
Solasta: Crown of the Magister is a party-based adventure where each character plays a critical role in the campaign and can be a hero. The dynamic and mysterious world features elements of verticality, allowing players to use their surroundings as an element of strategy. Players can position ranged characters on high vantage points or send their thief down into shafts and caverns to scope out what lies ahead. In Solasta: Crown of the Magister, light is a tool to explore the depths and hollows of dungeons or can be used as a weapon against the creatures in the dark, but if players aren’t careful, it will give away the party’s position to nasty creatures bent on their demise.
Solasta: Crown of the Magister Features:
Verticality: Solasta is a three-dimensional world, rather than a series of flat maps. Locations can be explored by climbing walls, flying, teleporting, crawling through tunnels, finding secret passages, or falling through unstable ground, allowing the player to use the environment to take on encounters in multiple different ways.
Team Based Adventure: Players will have many options to choose races, classes, backgrounds, and can even roll for stats as they create their party. All members are essential – together you will adventure through Solasta as a group, where you must work together in pursuit of your quest.
Tactical CRPG: Each encounter can be handled in multiple ways. Will you use the high ground to strike your enemies from above as a Darkweaver Rogue, or shove your enemies into deep chasms as a Mountaineer Fighter? Your choices alone will determine the destiny of your party.
Light: Light will not only help to see your surroundings as you explore deep underground or in a dungeon. It can also be used as a weapon against the light-fearing creatures you will encounter along your journey. Careful, though – light can also give away your position.
Created by Tabletop Players: Tactical Adventures is a team of highly experienced Tabletop players and veteran game developers who are passionate about the genre, striving to create the best Tactical RPG video game

Award-winning Indie game developer Lexip Games is proud to unveil the first look and exclusive playable demo of their upcoming horror-adventure – Silence Channel – scheduled for official release early next year. Produced by the same talented team who previously introduced you to Dark Room, their upcoming game is a continuation to the series of creepy first-person point-and-click adventures.
Silence Channel is a game of exploration and terrifying surprises; you play as John Martin, an Investigative reporter sent to a remote location to check out rumors of unexplainable sightings. Convinced it is nothing more than local folklore and myth, you arrive an early morning in dense fog with the aim of taking a few photos, make a couple of interviews with the locals, and quietly depart to write up your local piece of gossip. Dare you enter the mysterious mansion?
Silence Channel offers a classic point-and-click adventure experience with clues to decipher, doors to unlock, puzzles to solve and mysteries to explain. Collect, combine and use items you discover to progress in the game, and carefully examine clues in the most unlikely of places. Your journal becomes a handy logbook of letters and clues, and walls throughout contain strange messages and riddles of importance. You are not alone, and it is only a matter of time before your luck runs out.
Sharpen your claws! Indie cult classic They Bleed Pixels will be released in the Nintendo eShop Oct 22nd for $14.99 USD. Pre-orders start today (Oct 15) with a 20% launch discount running through Halloween (Oct 31). This is the first time They Bleed Pixels’ special blend of gothic-cute pixel art, punishing platforming and bloody one-button combat will be available on a console!
“With They Bleed Pixels we wanted to make a platforming game where the combat and platforming had equal weight, and a big part of that is the game’s unique checkpoint system” says game designer Miguel Sternberg, “In They Bleed Pixels checkpoints are like a power up, and you’ll have to pull off fancy kills to earn them quickly. The game’s large levels really give each checkpoint weight, driving the player towards mixing it up. Kicking enemies into the air, saws, spikes, juggles, whatever it takes to fill that checkpoint meter faster!”
As an anonymous student of the Lafcadio Academy for Troubled Young Ladies, you must battle through your nightmares to defeat a curse that’s slowly transforming your body into a clawed demonic form. Originally released for PC in 2012, They Bleed Pixels balances a perfect mix of fast-paced acrobatic platforming and fierce, one-button, slash’em up combat. By suppressing their urge to button mash in favour of focusing on stylish and smart kills, players are rewarded with a checkpoint they can choose when to place for safety… or try their luck by holding onto it for extra bonus points.
Features:
Hardcore original difficulty, plus an easier novice mode, to match a wide range of skills.
Striking art style mixes low-fi pixel art with organic ink and paper textures.
Lush gothic-cute motion comics tell the story of a young girl haunted by eldritch nightmares.
Become a monster stabbing master or platforming speedrunner with individual level rankings, online leaderboards and 150 skill-based badges.
Unlock bonus guest levels + illustrations by comic and game artists from around the world.
You can pre-order They Bleed Pixels right now in the Nintendo eShop and get a 20% discount till Halloween!
In a world where COVID-19 has all but canceled our most-favorite holiday, Knott’s Berry Farm emerges as a protector – a guardian, if you will. They have managed to not only celebrate the holiday but also do it safely with the Taste of Fall-O-Ween. The Taste of Fall-O-Ween is the latest in the parks’ tasting events, which are able to circumvent orders to keep theme parks closed by not having any of the rides powered up. It’s a brilliant strategy – one which I am shocked the park down the street, with the mouse, doesn’t do. But, I digress…
The Taste of Fall-O-Ween sees Knott’s Berry Farm fully decked-out for the spooky season. Not only that, but they have brought to the fore a plethora of Halloween-inspired food items for guests to try. With the $35 dollar purchase of a tasting card (that’s your actual ticket to the event now as they cannot sell regular theme park tickets anymore), you get 5 tastings. If you’re still hungry or thirsty after that, of course you can buy additional offerings.
Here is our full video review of the experience:
The food is great, as is the overall health safety level of the event. Everyone is wearing masks and the park is being extra careful with sanitizer stations throughout the park and distancing guidelines posted everywhere. The crowds were also very respectful of the health guidelines and at no time did I feel unsafe or in danger of catching creepy crawly germs.
The only thing that could have been better about the Taste of Fall-O-Ween is if they had a scary walk-through option for the adults in addition to the kid-friendly trick or treat trail experience. That way the adults in the crowd could get their Scary Farm itch scratched slightly. Overall, Knott’s Taste of Fall-O-Ween is an outstanding spooky season event and I can’t wait to check out the park’s Merry Farm-style offering, which should be up next!
