Turn-Based Game ‘Arkham Horror: Mother’s Embrace’ Unlocks The Madness on March 23 For PC And Consoles
It was announced back in October that Asmodee Digital and developer Luckyhammers would be bringing their adaptation of the Arkham Horror board game franchise to video games. Well, Arkham Horror: Mother’s Embrace now has a release date of March 23rd for consoles and PC.
In fact, if you’ve been sitting on snagging Mother’s Embrace, but haven’t done so yet, you can still get the game on Steam for a generous 20% discount until the game’s launch.
For those who just walked in, Mother’s Embrace is an adaptation of the Arkham Horror board game franchise, which is an “investigation game served with turn-based combat”, and is set in the world of H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos.
Taking place in 1926, a professor of astronomy is found dead in her mansion and everything indicates that she has been the victim of murder. Choose from 12 investigators from the Arkham Horror games, each with a unique set of skills, and assemble your team to shed the light over her mysterious death.
As the investigators get closer to their goal, your squad will have to face curious science, living nightmares, and a sinister cult with plans to bring about the end of everything.
Arkham Horror: Mother’s Embrace will be available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.
Retroware surprised everyone last year with the announcement that they’re working on a throwback beat-’em-up based on the Toxic Crusaders cartoon. Grab your mop and get ready: the side-scrolling beat ’em up game is heading our way later this year.
Toxic Crusaders is now available to preorder on Steam, with the game set for Fall 2024 release. Exact date TBA.
Developer and publisher Retroware has teamed up with Troma Entertainment to bring the characters from the 1991 cartoon “Toxic Crusaders” back, for an all-new, all-action beat ’em up for one to four players.
In the game, “When the evil Dr. Killemoff attacks, only one team of hideously deformed creatures of superhuman size and strength stands between him and his plans for global pollution: the Toxic Crusaders, Earth’s last, greatest and ugliest hope for survival! Battle across seven disgusting levels rendered in vibrant pixel art as you defend Tromaville from hordes of Radiation Rangers, mutated thugs and zombie chickens. The odds might be stacked against you but with awesome powers, a winning personality, and up to four-players on your side, the Smogulan Empire’s days are numbered!
“Choose from seven playable characters, including Toxie, No-Zone, Junkyard, Major Disaster, and Headbanger – plus, for the first time, play as Toxie’s musically “gifted” girlfriend Yvonne, and the mother of all mothers, Mrs. Junko, Toxie’s mom!”
Considering this is set in Tromaville, it’s a safe bet that we’ll see more Troma characters beyond the Crusaders here. Toxic Crusaders will also feature fully voice-acted motion comic cutscenes, featuring voice acting by TeamFourStar, industry veterans, and of course, Troma actors.
Check out the gameplay demo below for a closer look at the Toxic Crusaders in action.
Toxic Crusaders is coming soon to Xbox Series X + S, Playstation 4 + 5, Steam, Nintendo Switch, and the Epic Games Store. But you can wishlist on Steam in the meantime.
