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).
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
