Darkest Dungeon Gets Multiplayer

Back when I first got my PC and started my virtual photography journey one game that I got hooked on for a while was Darkest Dungeon. While not for everyone and void of anything photo modey, it is a grimly beautiful game. Stylised and harsh it lives up to its name. 

A boss fight!

Four years after its release it is finally getting a multiplayer mode, which pits players against the demented dungeon denizens together. Red Hook announced this news on the 1st of April, but myself like many mistook it for an April Fools shenanigan. Since it has been confirmed that it will  be in the form of a paid DLC called The Butcher's Curse, which will be with us next month. 

Within the update we will see a new hamlet called the Butchers Circus where players can test their combined might or go head to head in a PvP arena. The PvP mode will focus on heroes that are not your standard teams, meaning that you shall not lose your hard levelled characters to some PvP champion.

The game also has a great modding community on the PC, with numerous custom skins and classes. I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of rogue-like dungeon delving or classic turn-based RPG combat.

Red Hook also announced last year that a sequel is in the works. Fans can rejoice!

SINoALICE Coming to iOS and Android

SINoALICE is a role-playing game for iOS and Android which showcases darker versions of much loved fairytale characters such as Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood. To fans this is not new news, as the game has been available in Japan since 2017! 

The rpg was created by the dream team of director Yoko Taro and the composer Keiichi Okabe, who had the sames roles on Nier. The game already has quite a following and if you are keen to get on board straight away, there is a pre-regestration link here, allowing you to get on board. The more people that sign up, the more rewards will be unlocked! 

SINoALICE players will be delighted to hear that the game will feature characters and nods to the Nier series of games, with a Nier: Replicant tie-in planned shortly after the global launch on the 1st of July 2020.

While there will not be any virtual photography here, the artwork is divine and most of all it looks like it could be a lot of light fun.
