Arhaekon

Tactical turn-based dungeon crawler Arhaekon is set in a dark fantasy world where a lost civilization is caught up in a battle between two god-like factions: the Arhaekon, who seek to save mankind from destruction, and the Prospherisors, who pledged to destroy humanity if it attempts to transcend its limits and disrupt the balance of the void. The game sees players explore dungeons while obtaining treasures and knowledge, commanding units, and rebuilding civilization.

Dungeons & Dragons Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition

Dungeons & Dragons Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition is a remaster of Obsidian Entertainment’s 2006 follow-up to BioWare’s Neverwinter Nights, though the stories are largely unconnected. The game uses an adaptation of the Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 Edition ruleset and is set in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting around the city of Neverwinter. It sees players start out as an orphan living in the village of West Harbor. After the village is invaded, players are told by their foster father to bring a mysterious silver shard to Neverwinter.

Edens Zero

Edens Zero is an action RPG based on the popular space fantasy manga of the same name by Hiro Mashima. It begins on the theme-park planet Granbell in the Sakura Cosmos. It follows a human boy, Shiki, who lives alongside the planet’s robots and is taught how to use superhuman Ether Gear powers. His adventure into the cosmos begins after encountering content creators Rebecca Bluegarden and Happy. The action RPG features a retelling of the manga’s story alongside new and expanded content and quests. Combat sees players controlling a variety of characters — including Shiki, Rebecca, Weisz, and Homura — using combos, Ether Gear, and special abilities to defeat their foes.

Fretless: The Wrath of Riffson

Deckbuilding turn-based RPG Fretless: The Wrath of Riffson follows friendly musician Rob, who is attempting to stop the corrupt plans of the Super Metal Records company. Its boss Rick Riffson is using a Battle of the Bands contest to trap musicians with soul-binding contracts. The game sees players amassing their own collection of riffs, being able to add them to their deck and unleash powerful solos. Players can also select their preferred instrument, and customise it with bridges, strings, and more.

System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster

System Shock 2 takes place in 2114, 42 years after the events of the first game. The game puts players on the faster-than-light starship, the Von Braun, on its maiden voyage and its accompanying ship, the Rickenbacker. During the voyage, the ships respond to a distress signal from an alien planet, which results in them being taken over by a force dubbed the Many. The 25th Anniversary Remaster version includes completely remastered visuals, including cutscenes and weapon and character models. It also includes an adjustable FOV, post-processing effects, ultra-widescreen support, and cross-play co-op multiplayer.

Players control a minor noble in a kingdom near the Adriatic Sea who is drawn into the necromantic arts. They must investigate, negotiate, and coerce to achieve their aims, while trying to maintain the trust of the townsfolk. It features turn-based combat with players and their allies (including undead minions) taking on both natural and supernatural foes.
