Digital Suffering #10 - Remnant: From the Ashes, Eastern Exorcist & Bleak Faith: Forsaken

Let's get this show on the road!

Your hosts Steven Something, Pha-n-to-m Li-mb (Phantom Limb) and J-a-m-es (James) are in high spirits as we look at another batch of upcoming titles.

First is 'Remnant: From the Ashes', an action-RPG with roguelike elements to the levels, with such a heavy emphasis on ranged-combat we wonder if that will greatly lessen the melee side of things.

Next is 'Eastern Exorcist' (which was still titled 'Oriental Exorcist' at the time of recording), a gorgeous 2-D side-scrolling action game that has a lot of promise and we look forward to getting more details.

In the mobile corner, we draw everyone's attention to Final Gear, a cute-girls-in-mechs hero collector game that went live in China recently. No sign of if/when it might go global but with involving shoot-'em-up combat, it's a step above a lot of the stuff out there now.

Our final game is 'Bleak Faith: Forsaken' ("Why is everything always forsaken?"), an action game in a similar vein as the 'SoulsBourne' games that's currently kicking it on Kickstarter. The game looks very impressive so far, even more so when you consider that it's just a two-man studio producing it!

We wrap up the show with a discussion on microtransactions and just how expensive 'free-to-play' can really get!

Suffer on!
