Killsquad Presents the ‘Federation’ Update

Novarama has a new update for Killsquad, known as “FEDERATION”, and it is a major update to the game. Killsquad also has a 30% discount available on Fanatical.com, via the Insanity Sale. They also revealed a new competition, where players who enter by October 23rd can win an NVIDIA GeForce 20280Ti RTX graphics card, as well as digital copies of Killsquad.

FEDERATION introduces a new profile system with unlockable portraits, badges, and titles, that allow players to showcase character achievements. Each hero has a rank and completing contracts will now grant players with experience points. This new faction system has heroes building a reputation within the four factions by leveling up by completing objectives and contracts. This will secure new titles and bonuses that change profile color and increases experience.

To accommodate veteran players’ thirst for more difficulty, FEDERATION introduces a new Spec. Ops. contract, that has increased the vector cap from 110 to 130 with new enemies, obstacles, skins, and improved sound and particle effects. Further information can be found here.

Game Director Dani Sanchez-Crespo discussed the update:

“We are proud to present the second major update for Killsquad, that brings us closer to our original vision of an incredible action RPG experience, based around short, adrenaline-pumping missions, that can be enjoyed in either solo or 4 player coop. In the last three months, we’ve listened and worked closely with the community, rolling out weekly updates, building upon the core experience.“

Control Adds Free ‘Photo Mode’ To The Game

Control Photo Mode

505 Games and Remedy Entertainment released a free update for Control today, that added a brand-new “Photo Mode” to the game. This lets players express themselves by capturing, customizing, and sharing their favorite moments in-game. Photo Mode lets players use a Camera Tab and a Filters Tab, to customize their photographs before sharing them online.

Players can adjust aperture, broaden or tighten the field of view, change the focus distance and select from ten filters available in Photo Mode. Players can also remove characters from shot selects, offering unobstructed views of Control’s brutalist hallways, big open spaces and otherworldly phenomena creeping in from strange dimensions.

Monster Jaunt Brings Classic Party Games to Steam in 2020

Monster Jaunt is an upcoming 4-player party game on the way to Steam in 2020, by SKetch House Games. This title is a throwback to the party games of old, that values skill over luck. Players can compete to take their vacationing monsters on the best holiday trip ever. Each of the monsters has a different ideal holiday in mind, and it’s up to you to plan the best route possible. This means there are 20 minigames to compete against your friends in, from penguin races to inventory management, to a cupcake-based social deduction.

Sketch House Games founder and many-hats-wearer Nate Buck discussed their project:

“I’ve always found a lot of party games frustrating in that they require a strong amount of game literacy and skill in some aspects, and then throw that all out the window with luck-based die rolls. I wanted to create a minigame anthology where the overall board game is as skill-based as the individual challenges, rewarding players for different types of cognitive and reflexive abilities. The result was Monster Jaunt.”

Monster Jaunt Features:

  • Diverse Minigames: From arcade asteroid blasting to cerebral memory challenges, 20 challenging and varied minigames await.
  • Strategy Board Game: Monsters have arrived from another dimension to…have a great vacation! Win minigames to draft monsters and plan vacation routes in a Euro-inspired board game. No more rolling dice and hoping for a win!
  • No Waiting: Every minigame includes all players and board turns are simultaneous, so you won’t be twiddling your thumbs while others take their turns.
  • Throwback Aesthetic: ’90s kids, rejoice! Monster Jaunt takes visual inspiration from 3D greats of the mid to late ’90s. Behold the glory of bright colors, lo-fi polygon, hidden cheats, and cheery MIDI tunes!
  • Abundant Customization: Play with 1-4 players and fill in with bots. Disable minigames you don’t like or increase the odds of your favorites appearing. Remap controls however you need. Don’t button mash if you don’t want to!

The Coma 2: Vicious Sisters Coming to Steam in November

The Coma 2 news

The Coma 2: Vicious Sisters from Headup, and Devepressor Games, is coming to Steam’s Early Access Program this November 2019. The full version is scheduled for Q1 2020 for the Korean survival horror game. The game features hand-illustrated in-game visuals and Korean manhwa comic strips by Minho Kim, that combine nicely with the nightmarish story.

The Coma 2: Vicious Sisters continues the dark and sinister adventure from the first title’s once-familiar, but now deserted setting, Sehwa High School. In this sequel, players will journey beyond the school and into the surrounding district.

Tristan Riven, one of the developers discussed the project:

“Devespresso Games is proud to, once again, have the opportunity to work with our publishing partners at Headup after the successful launch of Vambrace: Cold Soul. This time, through our combined efforts, we’re bringing the second exciting chapter of The Coma to gamers around the world. It’s a real privilege to continue the story that started our journey in the gaming industry together.“
