Damon and Baby, Crown of Greed and more: Latest Game.Press Newsletter

The latest digest from Game.Press brings a wealth of news about projects across a variety of genres, from technical shooters to indirect management strategies. We’ve selected the most interesting announcements to keep an eye on in the near future.

DAMON AND BABY

Arc System Works has unveiled a unique hybrid of action and adventure. The story follows Damon, a once-powerful Demon Lord who has lost his powers and is cursed to be bound to a mysterious child known as Baby. To break the curse, the pair must journey to the Celestial Realm, fighting through hordes of demon hunters.

The gameplay fuses exploration in an expansive world with highly technical twin-stick shooting. At your home base, you can power up Damon and purchase upgrades, while during the exploration phase, you’ll clear areas of enemies and bosses. A local co-op mode is also included, with the second player taking on the role of a canine companion.

Crown of Greed

Strategy fans can look forward to Crown of Greed from publisher PlayWay. This is a city-builder with RTS elements, heavily inspired by Slavic folklore and dark fantasy legends. The game’s main feature is its indirect management system: instead of giving direct orders, you must influence your subjects and heroes through incentives, contracts, and the “power of a coin.”

Heroes possess their own free will and AI-driven behaviors, so their loyalty must be earned (or bought). The game is scheduled for release on Steam on March 31.
