We’ve got an absolutely packed show with Christopher Forgie of Kalypso returning to the show to chat about the upcoming Railway Empire!
Before that, though, we got ourselves a bunch of games to chat about starting with Ryan Underwood joining to review Dragon Ball FighterZ, boasting spectacular 3v3 fighting action from Arc System Works & Bandai Namco. Joe Straatmann checks out 3D pixel life sim Staxel, on Steam Early access from Plukit & Humble Bundle. Chris Taylor checks out the Switch release of prison escape sim The Escapists 2 from Mouldy Toof Studios & Team17.
Chris also checks out Energy Balance, a deceptively tough math puzzle game from Sometimes You, as well as physics puzzler Baseball Riot from 10tons. Catherine Baty reviews Of Mice and Sand -Revised-, a resource sim from Arc System Works. Tom Miller previews My Time at Portia, an action RPG life sim from Pathea Games & Team17!
Royal Sefton talks about a super early preview event for Laser League from Roll7 & 505 Games. Pernell Vaughan checks out retro arcade shmup Zero Gunner 2- from Zerodiv, as well as WW2 dogfighting game Flying Tigers: Shadows Over China from Ace Maddox. Finally, Pernell checks out the Switch release of action adventure World to the West from Rain Games!
After a quick break, Christopher Forgie of Kalypso Media joins the show, along with the returning Royal Sefton, to chat about locomotive business sim Railway Empire! We chat about development of the game, bringing a railroad sim back to consoles, various modes and options of the game, and how I might need some therapy with how badly I want to crash trains. Another great chat for what’s shaping up to be a really cool sim!
