This week, starting April 9, it is time for the human race to take a stand before they get stood on. Throw into the mix some great new indie titles, from real time strategy, robot building and hyperactive metroidvania side scroller. All of this before we even get to a PlayStation 4 exclusive making its way to the Xbox One.

Only those trained in the ways of the ancient order stand a chance at defeating these monstrosities, known colloquially as “ogres.” You are one of the world’s last defenders, a warrior named Avil equipped with the skill, speed and strength to oppose the endless wave of Ravenii and prevent a fate worse than death: Extinction.” – [source]

Our top pick of the week?
Masters of Anima
available 10/04/18
While we are all excited to see Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice make it’s way to Xbox One but we’ve already had a chance to get hands on with it.
Masters of Anima brings a colourful new fantasy world and we are always happy to see interesting new gameplay. Downsizing the scope of army strategy you’ll have more control over each unit as you fight against the forces of evil against a vibrant backdrop.
What new titles are you most excited for this week? Be sure to let us know!
