Koch Media revealed a lot of its upcoming titles during the Koch Primetime E3 2021 showcase. In this article, we pick our personal top 3.
Here’s my top 3:
- Chant
A new psychological horror game was being announced. It’s about a group of people that seek enlightenment on a faraway island. The game is a survival horror game based on spiritual awakening. They’ve used folklore of the ’70s to get a fresh take on the horror genre. You can definitely say we’ve taken inspiration from “Alone in the Dark” and “Resident Evil”. Talking about this already excites me. The horror genre is in a good place today and hearing how the developers try to bring realistic elements to these types of games, is just a plus. A horror game is not only about the scare tactics but also about the journey, actually living the horror story step by step. Using Folklore, stories that have been told by real people will only make these games more immersive.
2. King’s Bounty 2
Unite and keep all demons at bay. Fight against a false prophet and its people. Decisions, puzzles, … staying true to the Hex genre but reinventing the game to make it feel like a high fantasy roleplaying game with some tactical turn-based options. All of these elements can only mean a good thing. King’s Bounty, the original, has set some high standards for current RPG games and the fact that they’re focusing on turn-based combat just like X-com, can only bring joy to my life. A turn-based game set in a high fantasy world where choices matter? Count me in!
3. Scars above
Scars above is a third-person action-adventure shooter game where you take elements from Alice in wonderlands and mix it with an alienating sauce, to create “Scars Above”. An open-world adventure game that’s set on a mysterious planet with technology from the ancients, seems my type of game. You’ll be able to discover alien-like creatures and study them, to become a true hunter. Craft weapons or even upgrade your weapons that’ll heighten your chances of survival. You’ll soon discover that some alien creatures are more vulnerable to some weapons. You will also discover lost technology and re-invent them to weaponry that suits you best. You’ll explore this mysterious planet and you will seek out answers while staying alive. Face great dangers, dodge away, and build up experience. Use your weapons to traverse the environment. Collect data and use it to your advantage. All of these elements, sums up to a great adventure game that’s set in a sci-fi universe.
