Welcome to the month of August and it brings with it a somewhat more regular scheduling of new game releases. This week’s major release is an ARPG set in a Sci-Fi/fantasy universe that blends martial arts, dogs and robots. The regular releases this week kicks off with a presidential rogue-like action game, followed by a game that sounds like an office team work exercise, an Asian-inspired metroidvania, a 4v4 Marvel fighting game and we round things off with a world where anything can catch on fire and kill you. We also have a few additional games that might pique your interest as well.
