Remastered Version of Classic RPG Xuan-Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond The Mountains Coming to Steam7/14/2023  We've been fans of the Xuan-Yuan Sword series at A-to-J ever since it got a TV drama adaptation back in 2012. The long-running Chinese RPG series has had little exposure in the West outside of the surprising English-language release of 2016's Xuan-Yuan Sword: The Gate of Firmament on Steam. Well, the wait for more Xuan-Yuan content is over as it was recently announced that the remake of Xuan-Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains will also receive an English-language release very soon! Details and more about the game can be found below.
 The wait is over for Dragon Quest fans on the PC as Dragon Quest Treasures is now available on Steam! The game follows the childhood adventures of siblings Erik and Mia from Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age on an unforgettable adventure in their search for the seven fabled Dragonstones. The PC version features improved graphical fidelity and framerate and is officially verified for Steam Deck.

Platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, XBox, PC We are back, my people! Here in the hot seat is a game that has come back from the dead: Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed. Having been released all the way back in 2006 for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox, Destroy All Humans! 2 is a step back in time to where controls could be either tanky or just alright. At the time THQ was doing very well, publishing a lot of licensed titles from franchises such as Teen Titans, Bratz, Avatar, and Spongebob, which the company often banked on in their release schedule. Then we got Destroy All Humans! 2 a year after the original. The sequel being of a larger scale than the original, there is more added story and side content. Does it add up to a potential remake years later? Is it even warranted to have a PS4 version come out after the next generation versions? I mean, it is only single player after all… Let’s see for ourselves in Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed (Single Player). By Manuel  Players: 1
Platform: PC Alterium Shift is a retro-inspired JRPG that features 2.5D graphics and three unique branching routes to explore. It's currently in Early Access on Steam, and this means that the game is not exactly close to complete but close enough that I was able to get a review code for it. After spending the better part of the past week playing through it, I have a lot to say about it. The developers, Drattzy Games, is a small two-member team that have put together an RPG that wears its SNES-era JRPG inspirations on its sleeve, and serves up a world that has more than a few surprises for those who take the plunge. With that said, let's examine that very plunge and dive into Alterium Shift!  The Caligula Effect 2, the sequel to the RPG that first dropped on the PS Vita back in 2016, has some new details regarding its release by way of NIS America. An official release date, and a new Story/Gameplay Trailer, just dropped and you can check everything out below!
