The Amazing Story Behind - Wonder Blade game - PC Android iOS H5

This incredible game faced extreme challenges throughout its development.

The adorable, critically acclaimed slash-em-up ‘Wonder Blade’ is coming soon to Android, PC, and consoles. But what is nearly as impressive as the game’s unrelenting hordes of zany enemies is the fact it was created by a single person, in China, against (seemingly) all odds.

Insurgency: Sandstorm - Six more months of free content on PC

Announcing six more months of free content for Insurgency: Sandstorm on PC, outlined in today’s roadmap. Much of this content is possible thanks to the fantastic community support, with much of what’s planned coming directly from player feedback and multiple surveys.

Starting July this year, the six months of free content includes the following major additions (order of release is TBD):

• Level editor and tools – mod support is coming!
• Two new maps – includes a snow map and another yet to be revealed
• Night versions of maps – this includes the release of special nighttime equipment
• New weapons and equipment – toggleable optics, mini-shotgun attachments and more are planned, along with others based on post-launch community surveys
• Hardcore ruleset across all modes – the option for hardcore rulesets will be made available to every game mode
• PvP Frontline & Co-op Outpost game modes – these two new game modes were chosen in Sandstorm’s first community survey. Frontline features two teams in a tug-of-war over multiple objectives to reach and destroy their enemy's weapon cache. Outpost allows players to go on the defensive at randomised locations against waves of enemy AI.
• New character customisation – many more cosmetics will be added, for both Insurgent and Security teams.

New Game Chippy from Rust developer - PC Link

Chippy, a twin-stick bullet-hell shooter, which is available on Steam. This elegant arcade game, brought to you by the developers behind cult favourites Rust and Garry’s Mod, presents players with competitive challenges, with the aim to dodge, shoot and ultimately destroy 14 multi-form bosses, fighting their way to the top of the leaderboard.

Chippy’s huge retro-style bosses rain down ridiculous amounts of firepower. Players will need to destroy them by slicing off bigger and bigger sections, piece by piece, pixel-by-pixel, until their core is annihilated. It’s fast. It’s difficult. You’ll die a lot (Facepunch want you to).
