PAX Online Impressions for Ghostrunner, B.Ark, and Darksburg

Ghostrunner, a first-person cyberpunk parkour action game from developers One More Level, 3D Realms, and Slipgate Ironworks, set in a futuristic world. We sat down with the team during PAX Online and discussed what we could expect from this beautiful and amazing first person game. The developers gave us a run down of the game’s basic setup and how the player will be allowed to play as a cyborg that will fight the current regiment to free the people. 

Ghostrunner is going to be a single player game and the team is solely working on making the experience better for the players. We discussed how the developers have adapted the Covid situation and making sure the well-being of the employees to provide this great single player while working from home. Ghostrunner is developed using Unreal engine utilizing the power to create this visual excellence.  

Ghostrunner will give player the experience of a first person hack and slash with solving puzzles and linear gameplay, which will allow players to ascend Dharma Tower, said to be the corruption for the current world. The game will provide some parkouring actions that will allow to wall-run and jump from roof to roof and climb the levels and fight the enemies. 

Ghostrunner will come out on October 27th, 2020 and will arrive on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Co-publishers All in! Games and 505 Games invite players to apply for the game’s Private Beta.

B.Ark is latest game from the developers of Adventures of Pip (Check Out our Switch Review!), Tic Toc Games. B.Ark allows players to play as our furry friends and use the co-op feature to play with up to 3 friends to save the solar system from an army of intergalactic aquatic animals. 

We tried out the demo on PC, and played through the first level of the game, which provides an insight on the gameplay. B.Ark will be more of a 2D side scrolling shooter and have level based setup that includes some mini bosses and main bosses. With more players the game is more fun as you can achieve some great feats together. 

B.Ark is slated to be released late 2020 with no specific release dates yet, but it seems even with the Covid situation, the game is track to be released on time. We are looking forward to try out the full release!

We visited Darksburg last year during PAX East 2019, and took a peak at the amazing Co-Op rouge like game. This year, we have dived into Darksburg again and got some new updates on this amazing game. 

Darksburg entered Early Access earlier this year and is going to launch out of it into a 1.0 release today, September 23rd. Shiro Games, the developers, have been busy with making sure that Darksburg does everything right by the rougelike genre based on user feedback and have provided some amazing changes to the game. We went through demo showcase of the current gameplay during PAX Online and honestly, it looks amazing. I personally was not able to recognize the game at all since last year’s PAX. 

Darksburg allows player to play either solo or co-op, and takes you through a medieval town where players have to fight the hordes of zombies in waves. Also during this time, the player has the option of exploration or simply moving to the end of the map. Doing exploration allows the player to dive into the story lore’s and drops helpful items that help in surviving the zombies. There is a certain currency that players carry over after death and allows them to level up the characters. Each character has its own unique skill, either support, tank, or DPS that will provide a great strategic playthrough. 

Darksburg is coming out of early access on Steam and we are looking forward to try our hands on to the full experience soon.

Darksburg version 1.0 will be available starting today for $19.99 / €19.99 / £17.99 on Steam for Windows PC, Mac, and Linux.
