When Leikir Studio CEO Aurélien Loos first pitched the concept of Metal Slug Tactics to Dotemu, he wasn’t entirely certain whether the studio could actually pull it off. A relatively obscure outfit based in the Paris suburbs, Leikir’s most recent game is Rogue Lords — a party-based roguelite featuring famous monsters such as Dracula and Bloody Mary. There’s little in the studio’s portfolio to suggest that it has the chops to recreate the look and feel of one of the most beautiful 2D action...
Since its inception, Fortnite has been in constant flux. This rang true early on with the free-to-play Fortnite: Battle Royale mode which quickly became the center of attention back in 2017.

To be fair, even long-term fans...

Several different options are now available for order, mostly at Dell, Newegg, and Best Buy, with more to...
I thought I knew what to expect when I first fired up the preview build of Axiom Verge 2. I mean sure, this sequel does introduce a brand new lead character, Indra, and drops her into the frozen wilds of the Antarctic, which is about as far away from the previous game’s alien world of Sudra as you can get. But the clear Super Metroid influence evident in the original quickly resurfaced in Axiom Verge 2, as I set about searching for secrets and power-ups through a series of steel structures...
Dotemu, the creator of Streets of Rage 4, is being acquired by Focus Home Interactive (Vampyr, A Plague Tale: Innocence).

There have been many Indiana Jones and Terminator games over the years, few of them being any good. This makes them an ideal target for retro publisher Dotemu, which has recently found success reviving franchises such as Streets of Rage with modern sequels, and was acquired by Focus Home Interactive earlier today.
"I think that it would be interesting to explore classic movies like, I don't know, Indiana Jones, Terminator... the kind of stuff that never really had their very cool retro...

The Steam Deck brings unavoidable comparisons to the Nintendo Switch, and people have done in-depth, side-by-side breakdowns of their relative performance, weight, screen, and more. But while the Switch can be made colorful through a variety of different-colored JoyCons, the Steam Deck will just be black at launch. That may change, however, as Valve continues to discuss the possibility of releasing different colorways for its handheld.
According to an interview with PC Gamer, Valve...
