Welcome to yet another week of new game releases and things are finally starting to warm up a little bit in the new year, even if there are a lot of early access games this week. This week’s major release is a different take on the metroidvania genre with some rather unique graphics. This is followed by a kingdom-builder set in medieval times, a large-scale real-time tactics wargame set in antiquity, an RPG with an MMO feel that has a co-op mode, a sword making simulator and finally a fairytale inspired RPG where you have to beat a megacorporation. <\/p>\n
