Lost Reavers

Lost Reavers is a Free 2 Play action game released late in the lifecycle of the Wii U (in April 2016). Quite surprisingly, service is still running… but not for much longer! Bandai-Namco has announced that service will be discontinued on May 30th worldwide. Before that, items will stop being sold from March 29th, but those you did purchase will remain useable until the end.

GALAK-Z: The Void: Deluxe Edition

612 Games and Golem Entertainment have announced that GALAK-Z: The Void: Deluxe Edition, an anime-inspired open-world action game, is coming to the Nintendo Switch on March 26th.

Here’s the debut trailer, some details, and some screenshots:

Prepare for the bar to be raised on deep-space 2D dog-fighting! GALAK-Z: The Void: Deluxe Edition is a modern, A.I. and physics-driven open-world action game, viewed through the lens of the classic 16-bit space shooter. Developed by multi-award winning indie studio 17-BIT, the game sees players take on the role of a rogue pilot named A-Tak, tasked with the job of protecting the Earth against an evil alien empire led by The Baron. Players must enter the endless damnation of The Void, beat the Baron and his incessant onslaught and save the planet from certain destruction.

 
Offering endless gameplay, Online Leaderboards, and a Daily Challenge allowing gamers to compete worldwide, GALAK-Z: The Void: Deluxe Edition, is the original award-winning game that puts players in control of an anime-inspired spacecraft inhabiting procedurally generated worlds. Both stealth and skill are required to defeat truly intelligent enemies. Players are forced to outmaneuver, outgun and outsmart enemies that think, react and cooperate like seasoned pilots. In order to do this, they must master their ship’s sublimely-honed controls, blast enemies, unleash missile salvos, and even toss their opponents, mech-style, to their explosive demise.

– Endless gameplay with Online Leaderboards and a Daily Challenge
– ARCADE mode with per-Mission checkpoints
– Procedurally-assembled levels
– Physics based combat simulator!
– Advanced enemy A.I for intense dogfights!
– Scripted missions and ‘roguelite’ structure
– Resource-based, progressive weapons system
– Inspired by 70s / 80s anime and arcade shooters

GALAK-Z: The Void: Deluxe Edition (Switch – eShop) comes out on March 26th in Europe and North America. The Upcoming Games page has been updated!
