Anomaly – Warzone Earth and Garshasp: The Monster Slayer video game announcement - PC

Anomaly – Warzone Earth, developed by the Polish team 11 bit studios, creates an explosive gaming experience that turns around a classic RTS computer gaming subgenre into fast-paced offensive gameplay: In the year 2018, the city of Baghdad and other metropolises are attacked by overpowered alien that are creating giant domes – called the Anomalies – and gigantic turrets.


The game extraordinarily mixes action and strategy elements and tasks players to save the Earth from the onslaught by leading an armour squad through the streets of Baghdad, Tokyo and further cities. Players have to plan their routes and strategically choose which units to deploy in order to crush the opposition. They are taking control of the Commander, whose special abilities and quick thinking will be vital in supporting the squad in its mission, as they engage in fast-paced, tactical battles across story campaign and two heart-pounding squad assault modes.


Developed by the independent Iranian teams Dead Mage Studio and Fanfazar Game Studios, Garshasp: The Monster Slayer is a hack and slay action adventure game that is based on the Persian mythology, which contains some of mankind’s oldest and most profound myths. The game tells a story about the epic battles of the eponymous mythological hero Garshasp. The main mechanics of the game include melee combat, puzzle solving and exploration, fighting the army of darkness in the ancient lands of Khunirath.

The Army of Darkness has retrieved its ancient powers and now threatens the humans’ freedom. Deevs, grisly monsters which thirst for human blood have snatched power and now hold sway over mankind. Now it’s down to the player to free humanity from the yoke of subjugation. In countless battles with Azhadahak and his terror-inspiring troops, the player can draw upon copious quantities of weapons, combo attacks and crafty special moves to prove their valour. But it’s not just monsters that await the player, the way through Khunirath is also peppered with a multitude of puzzles.

Classic role play elements, action-packed jump ‘n’ run interludes and brutal combat sequences make Garshasp one gripping action-adventure.
