Save Churchill: Part 2 – Belly of the Beast takes place nestled high in the outlying mountains of North Morocco.

Behind it all stands Raubvogel – mastermind of the Schutzvollstrecker, a secret faction of the German military and would-be assassin of inspirational wartime leader Winston Churchill. OSS agent Karl Fairburne now must infiltrate the intricate maze of walkways and lofty factory interiors to destroy the weapons and reveal the plans behind a world-shattering assassination attempt.

Hands on: Dragon Fin Soup

During my time at Gamescom I had the chance to meet with Ash Monif from Grimm Bros to take a look at their awesome new RPG. Dragon Fin Soup is an upcoming RPG with roguelike elements. You take control of a female character called Red Robin who sort of looks like Little Red Riding Hood if she got sick of it all went home to get her gun and a couple of bombs and then went to ‘visit’ the wolf.

I don’t like to begin talking about the visuals of a game but in Dragon Fin Soup they’re so striking it’s difficult not to instantly let them carry you away. There’s an intentionally obvious similarity to SNES titles that so many of us have fond memories of. It’s impossible not to be taking in by Dragon Fin’s charms. Fortunately Dragon Fin’s charms don’t stop at the visuals.

Dragon Fin also has an incredibly compelling soundtrack. I love a good soundtrack in any game but in an RPG like this it plays a hugely important role – or at least it should. Check out a few samples on the Dragon Fin website here. As well as meeting Ash I also had the pleasure of meeting Jade Leamcharaskul, Dragon Fin’s composer. Playing or watching Dragon Fin takes me back to the Nobuo Uematsu days of Final Fantasy when a soundtrack was not only important but integral to a game. Check out this trailer to see (and hear) what I mean. There’s a definite Murray Gold feel to this particular track and I love it. Can’t help but turn this one up!

I remember watching the trailer for Dragon Fin and being completely baffled by how the combat system worked. It appeared to be a strange cross between turn based and real time gameplay. I eventually decided that I would need to play in order to really figure out how it worked. Fortunately getting your hands on the game makes everything clear.

In the top left of the screen there is a turn counter. Every step you take or action you perform increases the turn count. So rather than conventional turn based systems that see you setting up actions for you team and then the enemy doing the same a turn ends on every step or action. Effectively this plays as a turn based RPG with an unusually high pace. And the depth of strategy looks promising too. I only fought some very early enemies and still managed to get myself beaten badly. It’s a strange way to play but only because I can’t think of anything else like it.

Although I didn’t get much of a chance to look through all the content available in Dragon Fin it’s clear there’s going to be plenty to do. There’s a complex crafting system, gorgeous sound and visuals and solid battle mechanics to underpin it all. Dragon fin is planned to arrive 2014 for PC, Mac, Linux, PS4, PS3 and PS Vita.

Toy Box 2.0 Edition Digital Download Coming 4th November

Today Disney Infinity have officially announced the Disney Infinity: Toy Box 2.0 Edition Digital download will be coming 4th November (North America), mostly likely the 7th November for the UK.

Disney Infinity 2.0 logo

 

Here is the full announcement…

With the launch of Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes (2.0 Edition) next week, I want to share some exciting news about the digital option for existing console players of Disney Infinity.

You may remember that during our announcement event for the 2.0 edition of the game in April, we revealed that the Disney Infinity base from the first version of the game will be compatible with this year’s version. Our thinking was simple: We’ve completely re-tooled the best aspects of the game, with a huge emphasis on the Toy Box mode. For those of you who have been fans since the beginning and spend most of your time building in the Toy Box, we wanted to make it easy for you to enjoy the 2.0 Edition experience, without having to purchase a new Starter Pack.

Starting on 4th November (North America) and 7th November for the UK (mostly likely), fans will have the option to digitally download Toy Box 2.0 on their PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Wii U systems and utilize their existing Disney Infinity base, along with all figures and Power Discs from the first edition in this all-new Toy Box. The download will be available on PlayStation Network, Xbox Store and the Nintendo eShop with a suggested retail price of $29.99 (no UK price at the time of writing). For a limited time, the download will be offered on PlayStation Network and the Nintendo eShop for an introductory suggested retail price of $19.99 (no UK price at the time of writing).

We’re launching this digital option on 4th November because that’s when all 2.0 Edition Play Sets will be available for individual purchase. It’s also when the Disney Originals series becomes available, significantly expanding the 2.0 character roster, so we believe this is the best timing for the a la carte consumer.

There will also be a special offer for players in North America: anyone who purchases a digital download of Toy Box 2.0 will receive both Disney Toy Box Game Discs (Stitch’s Tropical Rescue and Brave Forest Siege) at no additional cost for the discs. This offer will be available for a limited time, while supplies last. We will share additional details on this program as we get closer to launch of the digital download in November.

What does this mean for parents and gamers? It means the ability to pick and choose whatever combination of figures and Play Sets their heart desires and endless possibilities in how they want to play Disney Infinity. For example, if players own the first edition but are only interested in Toy Box 2.0 and adding Rocket Raccoon and Stitch to their collection, the digital download would be for them!

While most people will likely choose one of the retail Starter Packs to begin their 2.0 Edition experience, it was important to us to keep Disney Infinity infinite and satisfy every combination possible with a wider set of options for the holiday season.

We are unbelievably excited for you to get your hands on the next edition of Disney Infinity and can’t wait to see what worlds you create!

A little note if you wonder why there is not Xbox One version of the Disney Infinity: Toy Box 2.0 Edition Digital download, it is because the Xbox One uses a special base for the console.
