Nice, going in with the idea that it's trying something different to normal xcom is good to know, thanks

I'm a big fan of EU/EW and XCOM2/WotC but all I know about this one is that it's a bit different, anyone played it before?

 

XCOM: Chimera Squad delivers an all-new story and turn-based tactical combat experience in the XCOM universe.

After years of alien rule, humanity won the war for Earth. But when the Overlords fled the planet, they left their former soldiers behind. Now, five years after the events of XCOM 2, humans and aliens are working together to forge a civilization of cooperation and coexistence.

Welcome to City 31, a model of peace in a post-invasion world. However, not all of Earth's inhabitants support interspecies alliance. Chimera Squad, an elite force of human and alien agents, must work together to destroy the underground threats driving the city toward chaos.

Your agents are unique: each is equipped with special tactical abilities and driven by a different motivation for joining Chimera Squad. Deploy targeted team members to investigate and combat the dangers that pervade the districts of City 31. Lead Chimera Squad through a new experience that innovates on XCOM's turn-based legacy, utilizing strategy, teamwork, and new breach-and-clear gameplay to complete your mission objectives.

The future of City 31 depends on you.

 

You and your partner are sent by your company to investigate an abandoned sector deep inside the Backrooms.

What begins as a routine mission quickly turns into a nightmare after your partner suddenly disappears without a trace.

Following strange blood trails through endless corridors, you begin to realize that something impossible is hiding within these forgotten halls.

Reality starts to collapse around you, and every step raises more questions than answers.

Who brought you here... and why?

  • Story-driven psychological horror.
  • Explore mysterious Backrooms environments.
  • Immersive first-person gameplay.
  • Terrifying creature encounters.
  • Atmospheric lighting and sound design.
  • Environmental storytelling.
  • PSX / PS2 inspired visuals.
 

Sol Cesto is a tactical and frantic roguelite where mastering your luck is key. Choose a hero, upgrade them using cursed teeth and magical items, and descend to the bottom of an ever-changing dungeon. In this dark world, every action has consequences…

ABOUT THE GAME

In Sol Cesto, your goal is to descend through the levels of a randomly generated underground world, diving ever deeper in search of the sun, lost for countless years. On the combat grid, choose one of four rows to move into. You'll then land randomly on one of the four tiles in that row: will it be a monster that harms you? A chest full of gold? Or perhaps a deadly poison trap? Anything can happen...

It’s up to you to weigh the risks of each tile as you clear the screen. Of course, your character will grow stronger, and magical items, special powers, and sinister curses will help you bend the odds in your favor and keep fate on your side.

FEATURES

  • 5 biomes to explore, each hiding monsters and traps with unique behaviors
  • 7 characters with distinct powers, stats, and abilities
  • Stone teeth that change the game’s rules and probabilities to tip the scales in your favor
  • Metal teeth that trigger devastating curses and combos
  • A wide range of items to eliminate enemies or escape dangerous situations
  • The strange underground inhabitants, some of whom may share their secrets with you
  • And many more surprises…
 

An unemployed protagonist is running out of options to survive in a cramped apartment. A night shift at a local pizzeria feels like the absolute last resort: simple routine tasks, a strict boss's order to let no one in, and quiet isolation.

Everything changes when a strange clown breaks in, babbling incoherently about "human pizza" before you chase him away. The next night, you mention the incident to your boss — who suddenly vanishes without a trace. Soon after, the police deliver horrifying news: the clown is dead, and your boss is the prime suspect.

You are told to go home, but that is a fatal mistake. The boss is already waiting for you in the shadows of your apartment, because you know far too much...

Duffle your enemy or friend? 

How did you get here?

There are a lot of children's toys here

You had me until the last line, I loved Hotline Miami and hated Dark Souls!

From a glance it looks like Hotline Miami, and this description could also describe that. Would you agree?

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

People just love stating their opinions as facts, and you can't really give entirely objective opinions about art. When people say this game was amazing/terrible because of some subjective opinion they usually mean I loved/hated this game because that's what I love/hate.

We don't do the /c/communityname thing here, mainly because it reminds us of our ex but also because communities exist on specific instances, e.g. !soulslike@lemmy.zip

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 3 points 3 days ago

Thanks, I'll update the title

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 3 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I went with RPG in the traditional "you roll play a character and explore a story" kind of way rather than "you have stats and grind battles", but that's mainly because I couldn't really work out what it was from the description. If you're giving it a play and have a better description than let me know and I'll update the title!

A mutant soap opera where small-town gossip meets the supernatural...

MUTAZIONE is an adventure game where the juicy personal drama is just as important as the high-stakes adventure part of the story.

Explore the community as 15-year-old Kai as she travels to the strange and secretive community of Mutazione to care for her ailing grandfather, Nonno.

Make new friends; plant musical gardens; attend BBQs, band nights and boat trips; and embark on a final spiritual journey to save everyone from the strange darkness at the heart of it all.

Over 100 years ago, the meteor “Moon Dragon” struck a tropical holiday resort. Most of the inhabitants perished, while those who survived began to show strange mutations...

The rescue missions quickly retreated, and those who remained in the mutating environment founded the small and isolated community of Mutazione.

Fast-forward to modern day, where you play as 15-year-old Kai as she travels to Mutazione to help nurse her dying grandfather back to health. But things aren’t as simple as they seem...

Nonno has other plans for Kai; secrets and betrayals simmer under the friendly community’s surface; and there’s a creepy bird-like figure who keeps on appearing in Kai’s dreams.

They can survive an apocalyptic meteor strike, but can they survive their small-town drama?

To license the idea to other people who want to do something with it?

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

The screenshots don't match the thumbnail and description so I'm not really sure what this is, and the Android download just contains the Windows version so I can't verify from my phone
