[Update: Released] Cosmonautica is a mix of Elite and The Sims, and it is now available in early access
Cosmonautica is an upcoming space trading and combat game from developers Chasing Carrots which is currently in a sort of beta test release right now. The game, as described by the developers, is a mix of Elite and The Sims, which makes for a pretty interesting hybrid title. We actually reported on this game arriving onto Android back in May 2015, but now it is available in an early access edition.
The Albion Online Summer Alpha has been in full swing for the past few weeks and it has been going pretty good, at least on the PC side of things. A lot of mobile players haven’t been able to enjoy the game too much due to it still needing plenty of optimizing for the visuals so they don’t hog your resources and produce rendering lag. If you are one of the few that doesn’t experience a lot of that, such as myself, then you’ve probably been enjoying your time in Albion Online’s Summer Alpha quite a lot.
Spacetime Studios’ upcoming MOBA Call of Champions starts closed beta access and gets a new trailer
Having been in a very limited Alpha testing phase for the past month or so, Spacetime Studios has announced today that they will begin letting a selection of gamers who sign up entry into the first closed beta for their upcoming MOBA game Call of Champions. We have been covering the development of this game since it was announced earlier this year and it has progressed nicely so far.
Mobcrush is a relatively new service for gamers who want to stream gameplay while playing games on their mobile device. The difference between this and what Twitch does is that Mobcrush is completely mobile-based, where as Twitch is not. But what each one does is basically the same thing, which is allowing people to watch other people play games.
While yesterday had a lot of emulator news regarding RetroArch’s massive update, today there is a new emulator available for Android users to try out called Play!. We have emulators for pretty much every platform out there and now we can add another one, that being the Playstation 2.
A couple of days ago we reported on the upcoming cross-platform MMORPG Albion Online and the fact that the Summer Alpha had started. This is the second testing phase for this game this year, with the first being back in January/February this year. If you currently own an Epic or Legendary Fonuder’s Pack, even if you purchase one right now, you can access this Summer Alpha phase.
The venerable survival genre is nearly as old as gaming itself, dating back at least to Oregon Trail and survival modes in tower defense games. For a substantial period of time, Japanese survival horror games nearly became synonymous with the entirety of the genre. These days, fleeing from monsters still dominates the genre thanks to games such as Left 4 Dead, Day Z and Slender Man.
Asobimo Inc. has been responsible for a few rather good MMORPGs for mobile devices including the recently released Izanagi Online which turned out to be pretty good back when we went hands-on with it while in beta form. Since then it has grown nicely. The company also has a few MMORPGs currently in beta testing as well, some of which have been in beta testing for awhile. One of those is Toram Online, which is currently available for beta testing in certain locations (mainly Asia), and today it has been updated with some new content to check out.
Back in the beginning of March 2015 we reported on a new cross-platform Hack ‘n Slash RPG that would be heading our way soon called Angel Stone. This is one of those games that we are really looking forward to playing, sort of like how we were really anticipating the release of Implosion. Of course this is all based off of the initial footage we watched of Angel Stone’s gameplay. However, with a little luck, you could end up playing Angel Stone before it launches now that beta sign-ups are now live.
