Virtue and a sledgehammer – Deconstruct team

DeconstsTeam is a small Spanish studio responsible for some of the most cerebral, sexy and darkly philosophical games around, including The Gods Will Be Watching, The red strings club and The cosmic wheel sisterhood. The team’s next project Virtue and a sledgehammerand it represents a new look with 3D, cel-shaded animations and a person in the third person instead of the usual Pandar Parking in the Festival of the Studio. VIBes are just as sinister and introspective as expected.

Virtue and a sledgehammer a moody coming-of-age experience in a wooded cluster of robots and lost locals. Spend quiet moments with old friends and then swing the sledgehammer to revisit your hometown and find memories that will help you move on. The game buildings and things are very active, which only helps the catharsis of it all.

Scramble Knights Royale – Funchronic Labs

Lugkronomic Labs was previously known as a VR Studio, with games Cosmic trip, FUJII and The light brigade Under its belt, but the latest project does not require a headset at all.

Find resources, fight creatures, upgrade your gear and play your own game, only fighting with other players if you experience them in the wild.

Don’t let the sweet, clay-like animations fool you, though – Funktronic says the combat mechanics aren’t particularly deep and well-crafted. Scramble Knights Royale Local split-screen is also supported.

Salamius -Mogrefi

Frog Squad – panic stations

If the former Fall guys The developers of Stations Stations know how to do something, it’s going to make a cliffhanger game in Physics Multiplayer, so that’s exactly what they did.

You can eat food to grow up and become a frog, vomit, and use your long sticky tongue to swing, hang and catapult your friends.
