News by Matt S. Deep Silver and developer, Warhorse, has today released a rather in-depth gameplay video showing off Kingdom Come Deliverance, a game that I was vaguely following along with before, but now am completely sold on. This is an open-world RPG set during the time of the Holy…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. We talk a great deal about JRPGs at DDNet, but we don’t talk as often about how much we love western RPGs, too. Especially the classics, like Baldur’s Gate. Which is why we’re always excited when a developer promises us a game that throws back to…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. The SpellForce series has always been an interesting one. On one hand you have an RPG adventure with quests and exploration, while on the other you have and RTS. Using elements of both, this series has provided unique challenges as your party can level up and…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. When Hand of Fate first released back in 2015, it was something genuinely new that people hadn’t seen before, and that made it a hugely impressive effort for a small Australian game developer. Now the team is back with a sequel, and the fact that it’s…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. From the outset Empyre: Lords of the Sea Gates has a lot going for it. Taking place in an alternate reality 1911 flooded New York city, things are looking grim for those that live up on top of the skyscrapers that just barely in some cases…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. ELEX is a hot mess of a game. Anyone who has played a Piranha Bytes game by now (most recently, Risen 3) surely knows what to expect; clumsy combat, an attempt at open-ended gameplay that isn’t quite able to get its quests and conversation trees in…
