New Release Round-Up (August 29, 2024)

Welcome to RPGamer’s new release round-up. In this column we look to provide our readers with details on all of the RPGs released this week. Please note we do not currently include Early Access releases where the game is still in development.

Ash of Gods: The Way

Turn-based tactical RPG Ash of Gods: The Way is a follow-up to Ash of Gods: Redemption and puts players in control of a young man named Finn. He lost his home and family years before to soldiers from the neighbouring country of Frisia, and must now take up arms to defend his country from them as they attack once more. Players build up decks of units, weapons, and spells to win battles with their own rules and objectives. Those looking to read more about the game can check Alex Fuller’s review of its PC version.

Fairy Tail: Dungeons

Fairy Tail: Dungeons is a deckbuilding roguelike from developer ginolabo and features an original story. It includes five playable characters: Natsu, Lucy, Gray, Erza, and Wendy. The game involves a mysterious door leading to a strange dungeon that robs those who enter of their abilities and sees players trying to overcome the dungeon within a limited number of turns.

Peglin

Pachinko-inspired RPG Peglin sees players taking a small goblin on an adventure through various locations during which they have various encounters. Each combat encounter sees players aiming an orb at a pachinko-like set of pegs, with each contact adding to the score that determines how much damage is dealt to enemies.

Veiled Skies

Turn-based RPG Veiled Skies is set in the Ezo Skydom and follows former assassin and revolutionary Rina Seiko. She receives a summons from the incumbent Fox Empress and is tasked with retrieving an ancient tome called the Skystone Codex. Its world is said to take inspiration from Granblue Fantasy, while its combat utilises the ability to use multiple turns at once, similarly to Bravely Default.

Visions of Mana

Action adventure RPG Visions of Mana is the first new mainline entry in the series in over fifteen years. It follows Val, a soul guard tasked with accompanying his childhood friend Hinna as she journeys to the Tree of Mana for a ritual. The game sees players controlling a three-person party from five playable characters, with an additional three characters accompanying them on the adventure. Those looking to read more about Visions of Mana can check out Luis Mauricio’s review of its PlayStation 5 version.

WitchSpring R

WitchSpring R is a remake of the first game in the WitchSpring series, which was released for iOS and Android. The game follows Pieberry, a young witch living alone in a forest, and features exploration and crafting-focused gameplay with turn-based combat.
