Set in the beautiful and dazzling 19th-century European-style town of Klatt, players use their Legion Arm, which allows them to switch between various weapons and abilities, to fight against murderous puppets.

WIZARD WITH A GUN

• Release date: 2023
• Steam URL: #

Wizard with a Gun" is an online co-op survival action game in which you control a sorcerer (or gunman?) who is suddenly transported to the wilderness one day. The game is an online co-op survival action game in which you control a sorcerer (gunman?) who is suddenly transported to the wilderness to explore uncharted territory.

The player explores randomly and automatically generated areas with various environments, collects resources obtained by defeating enemies and destroying objects, and develops a base called "Tower". Spells and weapons can be combined to create new effects, but the combination menu is not disclosed, so the real fun comes from trial-and-error.

The fact that the main character is a "magician" but fights with a gun and has the appearance of a gunfighter is also interesting and unique to the world.

ETERNIGHTS

• Release date: September 21, 2023
• Steam URL: ##

An action RPG in which the main character is involved in an incident in which humans suddenly turn into dangerous monsters one day, and fights to restore the world to its original state while searching for a way to cure the people who have been turned into monsters.

Unlike RPGs where you just keep on fighting, it is also important to search for supplies, explore dungeons, and date attractive characters to strengthen bonds with them. The game combines a challenging action part, an adventure part where you interact with the girls, and a storyline that will keep you wondering what will happen next, making the demo version alone a challenging experience.

MOONSTONE ISLAND

• Release date: Fall 2023
• Steam URL: #

A life sim RPG in which the main character travels to a floating island in the sky to train as an alchemist, and while joining spirits and creating magic potions through alchemy, he uncovers the mysteries hidden on the island. In the RPG part, you train your fellow Spirits to fight, and in the lifesim part, you manage a farm. There is a lot to do, but I have the impression that the game is very rewarding for that.

PATHFINDER: GALLOWSPIRE SURVIVORS

• Release date: 2023
• Steam URL: ##

A threat looms over the world of Pathfinder. The emperor of the race "Lich", Tarbaphone, who terrorized the world long ago and was sealed in the dark tower "Garowspire", is showing signs of resurrection. So players choose one of three heroes and set off on an adventure to defeat hordes of enemies and seal Tarbaphone away again, while strengthening their weapons and spells in this roguelite RPG game.

There are three types of heroes: the "Fighter," who is strong in melee combat; the "Rogue," who plays tricks on his enemies with his quick attacks; and the "Wizard," who cleaves his enemies with powerful ranged attacks. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, so choose the one that best suits your style of play. The demo version of this title has not been distributed yet, but from the video, it seems to be a survivor-like game.

BlazBlue Entropy Effect

• Release date: Undecided
• Steam URL: #

A spin-off of the popular 2D fighting game series "BlazBlue," this action RPG is billed as a "stylish roguelike action game" and is a Metroidvania-style game with a highly action-oriented system. The game's distinctive feature is its training system, which allows players to combine the seven elements of a character, allowing other characters to inherit the abilities of the character they have trained, and changing the character's battle style with unique skills called "potentials". The game offers a challenging game experience that allows players to develop their own unique characters according to their own play style, and to change the ending of the game depending on the choices they make during the game.

PIZZA POSSUM

In this casual game, players take on the role of a thieving rat, trying to steal and eat all the food in town without getting caught by the dog cops. There are no hard rules or controls, and players run around the town, sometimes hiding in the grass to catch the cops off guard and steal all the food they can! Sometimes it takes a while to eat the huge food placed on the table, so you have to play a game to avoid being found by the cops in the meantime. Anyway, you can play with your head empty.

Luto

• Release date: Undecided
• Steam URL: ##

In this first-person psychological horror escape game, you control the protagonist, who is mentally ill and unable to leave his house, as he attempts to escape from his home. The "house" is littered with environmental and sensory horrors such as anxiety, depression, and darkness, and the player must search for clues hidden in various places in the "house" and solve the puzzles while experiencing these horrors. The realistic images and psychologically evasive fears of human beings make for an impressive horror game.

LITTLE KITTY, BIG CITY

• Release date: 2024
• Steam URL: #

A cat simulation adventure game in which a cat taking a leisurely nap accidentally wanders into a sprawling city and tries to return home. The player is a cat with no special abilities, and therefore cannot pass through the water, which cats hate, and is limited in what it can hold (or eat). This game is recommended for those who like puzzle-solving games, like cats, and would like to be reincarnated as a cat someday.

Reverse Collapse: Code Name Bakery

• Release date: 2023
• Steam URL: ##

A consumer-oriented simulation by MICAteam Unmo Gumi, the development studio behind "Dolls Frontline," which gained popularity as a simulation game for smartphones. Set in a world 30 years after the previous game, the game has a hard-core worldview and follows the royal system of simulation games, which is rare these days, making it quite challenging. However, to ensure that even simulation novices can play with ease, there are three difficulty levels available: "Leisure," "Standard," and "Challenge," so you can enjoy the game according to your own skill level. For those who want to sit back and enjoy a simulation game, this is a must-see.
