End of Abyss Is A Fantastic (And Hard) Addition To A New Era Of Survival Horror

End of Abyss Is A Fantastic (And Hard) Addition To A New Era Of Survival Horror https://ift.tt/925TrAF Trying to distill End of Abyss to a single sentence is difficult. I can call it a Metroid Prime-like, but it's also a survival-horror game with a sprinkle of Dead Space, but then I'd be remiss to not mention the souls-like influence too. Yes, it can be reductive to narrow a game down to its influences, but it's a testament to what makes End of Abyss interesting: its ability to execute on so many different elements so well, making it one of my most-anticipated games from 2026's Summer Game Fest. In my hands-on video impressions below, you can get a closer look at how it’s adapting all those genres and elements into its overhead perspective and twin-stick shooting controls, as well is cold and harrowing atmosphere. https://youtu.be/MuEmn32tbvg

Mortal Kombat: Onslaught Turns The Franchise Into A Team-Based RPG

Mortal Kombat: Onslaught Turns The Franchise Into A Team-Based RPG https://ift.tt/fBgJwub

If there's anything Mortal Kombat has always been known for, it's the crack, crunch, spurt, and gurgle of its graphic violence. But over the last decade, the franchise has become just as synonymous for its Hollywood-caliber cutscenes and epic storytelling, and that's exactly what Mortal Kombat: Onslaught, NetherRealm Studios' new mobile game that is out now, hopes to capture in its gameplay.

That's a tall order considering the grandiose scale of its cinematics, often displaying over-the-top battles of dozens of characters taking on larger-than-life villains--even the mainline games' usual 1v1 fights rarely capture the same Hollywood blockbuster spirit. But Mortal Kombat: Onslaught, a real-time, squad-based mobile RPG, sets out to replicate that sense of scale in the palm of your hands. During my hands-off preview of the game, I got a look at exactly how the gameplay intended to capture that and chatted with lead designer and NetherRealm veteran Mike Lee.

"We designed gameplay off what we wanted it to look like--what we wanted it to represent: the cutscenes," Lee told me. In Onslaught, you'll craft a team of four to five fighters selected from a roster of 50 MK characters and take on a squad of enemies in a standalone story-focused adventure that sees its heroes, once again, fighting to protect several realms under attack. Spread over 10 chapters, the story will unravel over 300 battles that feature the same level of theatrics and high fantasy of its mainline series. Chapters are planned to roll out all the way into 2024, with four chapters available at release.
