It’s been a busy old time for games, with the looming release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom overshadowing everything. This includes my own life, where the Zelda fan in my life is constantly asking me if Tears of The Kingdom will have fishing in it.
CASSETTE BEASTS – DEMO
If you like to catch weird little guys and horde them as I do, then boy, do I have a game for you. From Bytten Studio comes Cassette Beasts, a game where you wake up in a mysterious land without knowing how you got there.
This new place is filled with lost souls from across time who also have no idea how they ended up there. Also, monsters are everywhere, and you catch them on cassette tapes.
Shortly after you arrive, you are thrown into a battle with a creature. Like Pokémon and other creature-catching games, the combat is turn-based, and you have to knock down the HP of the creature before you can catch it.
NIGHT OF FULL MOON – FREE TO PLAY ON STEAM
Night of Full Moon came out in 2019 and flew completely under my radar. A roguelike card battler, the game incorporates the classic fairy tale of Red Riding Hood with deckbuilding and random story events.
Set up like a storybook with minimal animation, you choose from a display of random events. Each section has a set number of events or pages, and once you have played through the required amount of events, you move on.
EPIC MANAGER – STEAM
Your job is to recruit heroes and build teams of adventurers who can go into the world and help people by completing quests and battling bad guys.
