Lots of New Things to Kill Players in Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

A single or 2 to 4Plo-player co-op micro-platformer where the players must control a pink spaceship by interacting with systems inside of the ship.

<h2> Overview</h2><p>Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is a cooperative game where 1 to 4 players work together to pilot a ship through space, manning the ship's various stations to steer, move, defend, and attack enemies.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p>The story mode sees a player and up to 3 friends travelling across 4 constellations, each with 4 levels and a boss at the end. Players move around inside of their ship and can take control of one of a number of stations, including a propulsion system, a shield, a Yamato cannon, a map, and weapon turrets. Working together to navigate through 2-D space, players aim to find at least 5 of the 10 locked up bunnies scattered across a level who can open up the exits to each level.</p><p>Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime gives players options to upgrade the various systems on board the ship. As they navigate space, the lovers will acquire gems that can be added to the systems. Giving a power gem to a turret will allow it to shoot faster, while adding a metal gem to the shield will turn it from an electric shield to a heavier, slower, more powerful metal shield. By collecting the bunnies in levels, players can level up and increase the number of gems that can be slotted into any single station. Having multiple slots available allows players to mix and match the gems used, like placing a beam gem and a power gem on a turret to turn it into a rapid-firing laser turret.</p><h2>Story</h2><p>As Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime would have it, the entire universe was powered solely by love. Unfortunately, due to a malfunction, anti-love seeped into the universe, and from it sprang monsters who began to wreak destruction. As a last hope, a few remaining lovers man a spaceship, aiming to rescue the bunnies and restore peace and love.</p>

A remake of the original Mario &amp; Luigi RPG with an additional, parallel side-story.

E3 2017: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions Is the Mustard of Your Doom!

An adventure game about a group of friends that accidentally open a paranormal rift on an old military island.

<h2>Overview</h2><p>Oxenfree is an adventure game akin to The Walking Dead and other choice-based experiences. The game revolves around Alex, her new step-brother Jonas, and friends Ren, Nona, and Clarissa. An annual get-together at Edward's Island yields deeper, darker mysteries for the group as Alex discovers she can tune in to the Island's history using a handheld radio. The group is split by the Island's cosmic forces, and the player is tasked with bringing everyone together and escaping the horrors of the past.</p><p> </p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p>The player guides Alex, the blue-haired teenage protagonist, through hand drawn environments and tunes a handheld radio to uncover various mysteries across the island. The game's <a href="/dialogue-trees/3015-77/" data-ref-id="3015-77">dialogue trees</a>, which typically requires the player to choose one of three responses, will shape the group's feelings toward Alex as the player progresses through the game. Much like <a href="/telltale-games/3010-397/" data-ref-id="3010-397">Telltale</a>'s various adventure series, which various members of <a href="/night-school-studio/3010-11895/" data-ref-id="3010-11895">Night School Studio</a> came from, the dialogue choices will fade after a few moments and Alex can be silent in response to much of the game.</p>
