Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion

Mech action title Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion is a sequel to 2019 title Daemon X Machina. It features a dark sci-fi story and an explorable open world, with players able to team up with up to two others to take on their foes. Like its predecessor, the game features mech designs from Shoji Kawamori (Macross, The Vision of Escaflowne, Aquarion, Eureka Seven, and more).

Dark Deity 2

Tactical RPG Dark Deity 2 is a follow-up to 2021 title Dark Deity. The game returns players to the continent of Verroa, although it is intended to be playable for both newcomers and returning fans. Set twenty-five years after the events of the first game, it sees the rebuilt Verroa facing a new threat from the neighboring expansionist Holy Asverellian Empire. Players take control of a group known as the Eternal Delegation, led by previous protagonist Irving’s descendants, in order to turn the tide of the oncoming war. Like its predecessor, Dark Deity 2 features turn-based tactical combat heavily inspired by the Fire Emblem series.

Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel

Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel is a Norse mythology-themed action roguelike where players attempt to survive assaults by hordes of enemies. Players control damned heroes attempting to pass the gods’ tests in order to become the chosen Jotunnslayer.

Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree

Dark fantasy side-scrolling RPG Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree is set in the world of Faelduum, which is in decline as the boundary between it and another realm called Entropy fades, unleashing monsters into the world. Players attempt to take their world back from the monsters, using the legendary Witch Lantern to explore Entropic Corridors, parts of the world already claimed by Entropy.

Rogue Labyrinth

Rogue Labyrinth is an action-narrative roguelite that puts players in the role of Iris, an outcast nomad who returns home to Lantanas, where they discover a giant labyrinth. This labyrinth has been built by an egocentric billionaire named Echelon for a reality show to find the “Monarch of Lantanas”. Players advance through its randomised biomes while dodging traps and fighting monsters. Each run allows Iris to build public favour and opens up new interactions with characters.

Touhou: Scarlet Curiosity

A doujin spin-off to the Touhou bullet hell franchise, action RPG Touhou: Scarlet Curiosity follows Remilia Scarlet, the vampire mistress of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and her maid, Sakuya Izayoi. After attempting to overcome their boredom by venturing out on a search for a powerful yokai said to be nearby, Remilia learns of an incident at the manor. The game lets players control Remilia or Sakuya as they hunt down the creature responsible.
