Reel Fishing Announcement

Natsume announced the newest title in the Reel Fishing franchise today, with Reel Fishing: Road Trip Adventure. It’s coming to Nintendo Switch and Playstation 4 this summer. The Reel Fishing series is one of the best-selling and longest-running video game fishing series with over 10 titles and this will be the debut for the series on the Nintendo Switch.

After meeting a mysterious man at a museum, three college pals will set off on a road trip to find an elusive fish he mentioned to them. But what is the story behind this fish, anyway? For that matter, who is this man that set them out on this adventure?

Reel Fishing was first released in 1997 and the allure of virtual fishing is still just as alive today,” said Hiro Maekawa, President & CEO of Natsume. “We are delighted that Reel Fishing: Road Trip Adventure will evolve the Reel Fishing franchise for the Switch and PS4.”

Conan Unconquered Reveals Release Date, Pricing and More

Conan Unconquered asks the important question: What is best in life? It also then answers that with To drive your enemies before you. The RTS set in the Conan universe, Conan Unconquered is officially hitting shelves on May 30th, 2019 from Funcom and Petroglyph. The first-ever Conan RTS will arrive then, with a Standard Edition (29.99) and a Deluxe Edition (39.99)

The Deluxe Edition includes:

  • Exclusive DLC: Kalanthes, a spell-casting hero unit
  • Exclusive DLC: King Conan hero unit
  • Game Soundtrack
  • Original Conan Unconquered eBook

Conan Unconquered is not your typical RTS,” said Petroglyph CEO Chuck Kroegel. “We like to call it a survival RTS, where instead of building a base and then moving out to attack your opponent, you will instead have to build a base that is constantly being attacked by invading enemy forces that grow more ruthless and more difficult over time. We’re also very excited about our multiplayer co-op, allowing players to build a base together and amass an army as they work together to fight off the hordes. Working together in an RTS is incredibly rewarding and we want to bring that experience to the forefront.”

Deck of Ashes Explores Their Combat System in Their Latest Trailer

Deck of Ashes is a card-game RPG that’s coming to Steam on April 11th, 2019, and brings with it an exciting new way to play card games. Players will need to use these cards to destroy the Ash Curse that has plagued their land. Deck of Ashes uses a turn-based system, that definitely requires deep tactical planning. Battles are divided into rounds, where characters take turns based on their speed, and that number might change throughout a battle. A turn is limited by how much Mana is spent on a particular card in their Battle Deck. Some cards cost Health Points instead of Mana Points.

A player might encounter 1-3 opponents in a battle initially, but some of these foes can also summon reinforcements. Additionally, some monsters are able to strengthen themselves and their summoned allies and deal instant or periodic damage to weaken a Hero in battle. The negative effects that opponents can cast on a Hero vary between enemy classes. Opponents will also reveal the cards they’ll play next turn, which gives the player an opportunity to plan what they’re going to do next.

Though Heroes may occasionally find themselves battling seemingly impossible-to-conquer foes, it must be noted that there are cards that can greatly benefit a player. These cards are:
Strike Cards: A card that deals instant moderate damage to an opponent

Periodic Damage Cards: A card that deals a small amount of damage each turn and wears the opponent down over time

Boon Cards: A card that strengthens a character’s toughness

Healing Cards: A card that restores a character’s health

Hex Cards: A card that casts an effect on an opponent to weaken them over time
