It’s always refreshing to see interesting titles get time in the spotlight, and the Future Games Show Spring Showcase delivered on this in a big way. There were plenty of titles that grabbed our attention Co-op action rogue-likeArcRunnershowed off a gorgeous neon-tinged cyberpunk world, whileHYENAS’ latest trailer showed off a new character who uses cosplay to trick their enemies.
Miasma Chroniclespromises an XCOM-like strategy game set in post-apocalyptic world covered in an eerie miasma, offering a fresh take on the strategy formula. We were also impressed byWitchfirewhich combines gunslinging, spellcasting, and a late medieval aesthetic to produce an intriguing FPS.
