Watch the Launch Trailer of Servonauts Which is Now Available!

21 November 2024 | Australian dev team MAXART Games and Polish indie publisher Untold Tales have released Servonauts on PC and Switch.

Servonauts is an absurd couch co-op gas station builder for 1-4 players. Team up as a group of disposable galactic blue-collar employees and build up a servo (that’s Aussie for "gas station") in some rather questionable locations. As impatient space travelers demand service, you’ll set up refineries, wrangle wobbly pipes, and mix the right fuels to avoid blowing your customers into stardust.

GAME FEATURES

Build a Station and Pipeline

To fuel cars, you’ll need Astroil’s patent-pending pipe technology! These wobbly, physically-simulated pipes can bend and stretch to get fuel where you need it. They’re even partially lava-resistant (unlike the Servonauts)!

 

Refine the Right Fuels

When cars pull into your servo, they’ll request specific types of fuel. Build machines to refine and combine fuels to create advanced recipes! But be careful—pumping the wrong fuel can have explosive consequences.

Up to Four-Player Co-op

Play in single-player with in-game support, or grab your mates to jam it out as a duo, trio, or chaotic four-player quartet. Work with your team and optimize your logistics as you aim to collect all three gold stars. 

Steam supports local couch co-op and online play via Steam Remote Play, while the Switch supports local couch co-op.

Besiege Launches onto PlayStation 5 on December 12th!

Besiege, a best-selling game based on advanced physics and creativity that is one of the highest rated PC games, will debut on PlayStation 5 on December 12. In this medieval sandbox from UK-based Spiderling Studios, players can construct almost any siege machines to destroy villages, castles and enemy armies. Pre-orders are now available on the PlayStation Store. Pre-orders give you three days earlier access to the game, and PS Plus subscribers can buy the game at a 10 percent lower price.

Besiege is a best-selling game developed by the independent British Spiderling Studios. The PC version of the game has been well-received by gamers - the percentage of positive reviews on the Steam platform currently reaches as high as 95 percent (out of more than 43,000 reviews).

The gameplay in Besiege is based on constructing siege machines and then destroying settlements, castles, fortresses and enemy troops with their help. The title is distinguished by an advanced physics system, which stimulates creativity in creating constructions and sowing destruction.

The primary goal of the player is destruction. For this purpose, siege machines can be created, including, for example, standard catapults, unusual tanks or even helicopters. The created machines also serve other purposes - such as transporting resources and protecting your own units.

On the PC, the game has been under constant development for almost 10 years, and players are showing great creativity. Among other things, airplanes are being created thanks to available mods, and recordings of airplane crash reconstructions depicted in Besiege have millions of views on YouTube.

There are 4 island kingdoms waiting to be conquered in the console-based Besiege. The game includes an extensive campaign consisting of a total of 55 varied levels, as well as 3 levels to play in sandbox mode.

The console version offers two graphics modes (performance and quality). On PlayStation 5, Besiege delivers 4K resolution and a smooth 60 frames per second. Players can also share siege machines they have created with the community and check out those shared by others.

November 18th, 2024 | Earlier this year, new indie studio Pahdo Labs revealed its debut title, Starlight Re:Volver, set to launch on Steam Early Access in 2025. Inspired by the magical works of manga artists Naoko Takeuchi and Rumiko Takahashi, Starlight Re:Volver is a love letter to the nostalgic anime series and games of the ’90s and ’00s, with a modern aesthetic. Starlight Re:Volver mixes Japanese ARPG combat with elements of Western rogue-lites, all wrapped up in a charming social hub inspired by classic online worlds.

Alongside gorgeous neon visuals, an upbeat electro-pop soundtrack, and dazzling, hyper-stylized combat, Starlight Re:Volver features a diverse roster of characters. Representing a fresh take on popular mahou shoujo archetypes, the fully-voiced cast of characters includes the fearless newbie Diver Effy, disciplined perfectionist Akira, laidback mentor Ren, and technical prodigy Vivi. 

Activating mysterious devices called “Re:Volvers,” each character transforms into brave “Divers” who crash through the walls of reality in pursuit of finding their true selves and otherworldly secrets. Today, Pahdo Labs is excited to reveal even more about them in a character profile showcase!

 

Character	Description
	Effy: Full name Effy Corbeau, Effy is a wild and fearless treasure hunter. Even her name, Corbeau, which is French for “raven,” is a nod to her love of dazzling treasures! A talented yet reckless newbie Diver from the outskirts of Nishi, her steadfast resolve and playful nature both baffle and inspire those around her. A Renegade class Diver, Effy’s dream is to find an artifact special enough to fulfill a promise to her grandfather.
	Kira: An elite Diver from the illustrious Tsukino clan, Kira has trained for years under the cold shadow of her superstar sister and strives for perfection no matter the cost. A Noble class diver, Kira’s cool demeanor and detached persona mask an underlying desire to connect with those around her. She’s on a mission to locate her sister, a former star diver who disappeared within the realm of So Mi, leaving behind a note for Kira simply saying, “Find me.”
	Ren: A breezy dockhand with a checkered past, Ren stumbled into the Diving life by accident after stumbling upon a Revolver in an unmarked shipping container during a late night shift at NIM South Marina. After previously failing to save his younger sister, Ren lives up to his Guardian diver class by vowing to protect Effy until she can fulfill her dream. Sarcastic, loyal, and sometimes aimless, Ren is determined not to let his team down.
	Vivi: Fascinated by So Mi and its miracles, Vivi longs to understand the nature of every living thing. As the prodigal heir to the Altair estate and a Scholar-class diver, Vivi tends to keep to himself and his studies while striving to solve the mystery of So Mi’s creation. Having grown impatient with academics, Vivi stole a Revolver from Altair’s R&D lab and decided to travel to So Mi himself.

About Starlight Re:Volver

In the vibrant city of NIM, a chosen few have unlocked the ability to activate Re:Volvers—enigmatic devices that open the gateway to So Mi, a limitless digital dreamscape. As a newly awakened Diver, players will embark on a thrilling adventure of self-discovery alongside a diverse group of characters.

Wander through NIM’s lively streets, where tradition meets cutting-edge technology, before diving into the fantastical realms of So Mi. Unearth the secrets behind the Re:Volver, confront extraordinary challenges, and forge your own legacy as one of NIM’s renowned Divers. But tread carefully—delving too deep into So Mi’s mysteries could lead to being lost in its enchanting depths.

Starlight Re:Volver blends the social allure of classic online worlds with the exhilarating action of modern roguelite gameplay. Gather your friends and embark on an unforgettable journey in a world where the boundaries between reality and dreams blur!

Starlight Re:Volver will be released on PC in Early Access via Steam in 2025.

Memorable Music in Gaming #57

This week we’re all about the unsettling side of the soundtrack. These 5 are a masterclass in using a cacophony of sounds to create a vibe that at once screams “You’re not welcome here. Turn back before it’s too late!”

Megaman X7 | PS2 | Soul Asylum

Look at the name. It’s called Soul Asylum. Is it any surprise it sounds the way it does?

I’m not familiar with the lore of Mega Man, so I’m not sure how well this fits with the philosophy of the X series. Its repetitive tones, however, are effective in setting an unnerving vibe.

Mega Man X7 OST, T14: Soul Asylum - Crimson Palace Stage 2

Half Life 2 | PC | Radio

To me the Seven Hour War is perhaps this series’ scariest narrative. Think about it: the entirety of Earth and its denizens under the absolute control of the Combine in one average school day.

If the Combine Theme is successful in conjuring up images of the alien army winning the battlefield; then Radio is all about the post-apocalyptic aftermath of their brutal success.

The distorted scream alone is enough to give one proper nightmares.

Half life 2 - Radio scary extended

Silent Hill 3 | PS2 | Prayer

Don’t act surprised, you knew Mr. Yamaoka would be on the list when you read the intro.

Throat singing is never not cool. This style of singing just fits the atmosphere of Silent Hill. It sounds motivated and driven, like there’s a ritualistic purpose to all this.

I also urge you to listen to Nature Ganganbaigal’s segment in the heavy metal choir from Doom Eternal.

Silent Hill 3 OST - Prayer

Earthbound | SNES | Giygas

Giygas terrifies me—not just as an antagonist, but because of what it represents. It's an abstract, unknowable force. The boss fight isn't against a character; it's against the entire screen.

If I were a sentient audio format, this is the last theme I'd want to encounter in a dark alley.

Earthbound / Mother 2 Soundtrack: Final Battle (Giygas)

Control | PC | Metamorphosis

Control’s soundtrack is one of the best out there. The entire thing is hollow and stark, very much like the Brutalist architecture so prevalent in the game.

I find it cool that Martin Stig Andersen - one half of the composer duo - is allowed to live out his signature audio design that he perfected in Limbo and Inside.
