Apocalyptic Roguelite RPG ‘Days of Doom’ Available Now on PC, Consoles [Trailer]
Announced a few weeks back at Feardemic’s Fear Fest, Atari and SneakBox’s turn-based RPG roguelite Days of Doom is out today on PC and consoles. The mix of tactical RPG and survival simulation elements can be had on the PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, Xbox One and the Xbox Series, and the Atari VCS.
Days of Doom sees you put together a squad of heroes to confront the relentless onslaught of zombies, ghouls, raiders, and other foes on the ultimate mission to reach sanctuary amidst the rubble. Each character class possesses unique abilities. For example, you can turn things up with the Pyro, setting foes ablaze for lingering damage, and finish up with a combination attack from a Hydromancer and Thrasher, drenching enemies with watery assaults before shocking them. You can also boost your squad’s abilities with over 70 items and runes to collect.
The roguelite progression in Days of Doom means no two runs will be the same, but you permanently upgrade stats like party size and speed of resource accumulation, which means each run will get you closer to reaching your goal. It’s all tied together with an orchestral soundtrack by Jelle Dittmar (Death by Flame, The Playboy Murders).

Edutainment Horror Game ‘Amanda The Adventurer’ Coming to PS5, Xbox and Mobile This Year
Eight months after arriving on the Nintendo Switch, DreadXP and developer MANGLEDmaw Games have announced that their edutainment horror game Amanda The Adventurer will be getting PlayStation, Xbox releases, as well as releases on Android and iOS later this year. The announcement comes as the teams continue their work on the upcoming sequel.
In Amanda the Adventurer, you are Riley Park. Riley has inherited their Aunt Kate’s house following her death. Starting with the seemingly banal task of digging through their reclusive aunt Kate’s attic, Riley comes across multiple VHS tapes. At first glance, the videos seem innocently childish and charming, depicting two best buddies—Amanda and Wooly—in an edutainment-styled escapade that features that 90’s-style CGI.
As Riley watches more and more episodes of the titular Amanda the Adventurer, a creeping, sickening feeling emerges that something is watching back. Riley soon realizes that Amanda and Wooly seem to be communicating directly through the television set. Despite internal pleas to stop, Riley is compelled to continue watching the tapes. It’s almost as if Amanda needs something…and upsetting her wouldn’t be a wise choice.
You can also find Amanda The Adventurer on PC via Steam.
