End of Days Turn-Based Strategy Game ‘Alder’s Blood’ Turns to Kickstarter
Indie developers Shockwork Games have announced that they’re turning to Kickstarter to help finish their upcoming turn-based, tactical stealth game, Alder’s Blood. The game is still set to be released January 2020 for the PC and Nintendo Switch (with other console versions at a later date), but the goal of the Kickstarter campaign is to “add new features to an already bursting project”, and to “polish and refine the systems to the highest degree”.
In Alder’s Blood, humanity has survived millennia and now finally has to face the End Times. Forsaken by a corrupt god, players take on the role of monster slayers known as Hunters. Trained to hunt and kill anything that threatens the remaining people, you must restore peace to the land.
Featuring ambush-based combat where you must outsmart monsters much stronger than yourself, a diverse range of monsters to battle, and a world that’s a fusion of dark Victorian fantasy and the Wild West, Alder’s Blood looks to be a unique offering for those looking beyond your usual turn-based strategy game.
Apart from the game’s Kickstarter page, be sure to check out the game’s Steam page, and of course, its official site.

Come Face to Face With the Zombie Menace in the Story Trailer for ‘Zombie Army VR’ [Watch]
While there’s no definitive release date just yet, Rebellion is teasing fans with a new story trailer for the upcoming Zombie Army VR, which is expected to arrive later this year. The new trailer gives fans and prospective players a glimpse at the Zombie Army VR story campaign, which as you might have guessed, involves occult magic, waves of zombies, and plenty of headshots.
The game’s campaign takes place alongside the events of the Zombie Army series, and sees you take to the field as one of the Deadhunters, an elite squad that is hunting down zombie war criminals. You must fight your way through undead hordes near the bombed-out city of Nuremberg to help Captain Hermann Wolff, the Deadhunter’s legendary leader, find his scattered family and fight to free Europe from the zombie apocalypse.
As you navigate the full-length story campaign either alone or with an ally, you’ll have access to an arsenal of authentic World War II weaponry, including sniper rifles, submachine guns, pistols and more. As one would expect, VR brings a new level of immersion to the action of the Zombie Army series, which will require you to “get to grips” with using your hands to aim your rifle, dual-wield your side arm with a submachine gun, master reloading drills, and tossing grenades.
Zombie Army VR is currently in development for the PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 2, 3, Pro, Oculus Rift and PC headsets via Steam.
