Battle Suit Aces review

Trinket Studios has released a new game called Battle Suit Aces, featuring Captain Heathcliff on a cosmic journey against the Frenzied, an alien enemy. The game is a deckbuilding title where players assemble a crew of characters with unique battle suits and engage in turn-based combat across two rows. Players must manage resources and strategize to defeat opponents with distinct abilities. Progressing through the game rewards players with crafting materials for suit and drone enhancements, allowing for diverse customization options. Between battles, players can interact with their crew, adding personality to the game and enriching the narrative, which evolves from a clichéd premise to a humorous and creative story with absurd side missions. The game includes a puzzle mode for tackling scenarios in a single turn and optional crew missions that deepen the narrative and provide rewards like additional mod slots for suits. Visually, the game features a vibrant art style and embraces queerness, presenting a refreshing narrative with diverse characters and scenarios. While it has some flaws, such as a predictable opening and lack of challenge at standard difficulty, the overall experience is enjoyable, making Battle Suit Aces a notable addition to the gaming landscape.

The sequel to isometric mech sim Brigador gives off serious Syndicate vibes in its latest footage, and you can play its alpha version right now

Brigador is celebrating its tenth anniversary, having undergone significant transformations since its initial release. The developers at Stellar Jockeys improved the original game, leading to a better reception on Steam. The sequel, Brigador Killers, is in development and features gameplay that diverges from the original, blending elements of Syndicate and the original Grand Theft Auto. Players assume the role of a character aiming to take down wealthy figures contributing to societal decay, with gameplay allowing exploration on foot and various mission types from a homebase called the Garage. The game emphasizes strategy and stealth, with players able to use a range of vehicles, though mechs have not yet been showcased in gameplay footage. There is currently no official release date for Brigador Killers on Steam, but an in-development version is available for purchase on Itch.

To celebrate the imminent launch of a new Styx adventure, Epic is giving away Cyanide’s last two goblin-flavoured stealth games for free

In the early 2010s, Cyanide Studios’ Styx was a notable stealth title in a sparse gaming landscape. Styx, a goblin character, gained attention before being overshadowed by the Hitman franchise. In February, a new installment titled Blades of Greed is set to release, and Epic Games is offering the previous titles, Styx: Master of Shadows and Styx: Shards of Darkness, for free on Steam. Both games focus on stealth mechanics, encouraging evasion and cunning rather than direct confrontation. Master of Shadows established the series with intricate environments, while Shards of Darkness improved nonlinear exploration and cooperative play. Blades of Greed promises expansive gameplay with three vast environments, new mechanics like a glider, and a more proactive role for Styx as he assembles a crew for heists from his airship. The game is scheduled for release on February 19, with a demo available on Steam.
