There are some bold words indeed being said by the PR team behindArc Rise Fantasia— an upcoming RPG for the Wii. Seeming to sense the disturbing lack of epic JRPGs out there, Ignition Entertainment has leaped upon the opportunity to tell disillusioned fans thatArc Riseis the place to get their fix. “A critical element of any JRPG is story,” explains Ignition. “As one plays the game, one gradually gets to know the heroes ofArc Rise Fantasiaand how their lives are shaped by each other and the challenges they face....

Things are always grimmest just before the dawn Grim Dawn, an upcoming ARPG (orDiablo-like, if you prefer) haspopped up on Steamtoday as an Early Access title. As such, the team acknowledges that they “still have significant content to develop,” with features like multiplayer still not included. Access to the game will set you back $29.99, which is temporarily reduced to $26.99 until November 12. As of now, only the first act is included which should take players anywhere from 8 to 16 hours to complete, according to the developers....

I sure hope this game is good Killer Instinctis just a few months away, and you can get a glimpse of newcomer Sadira in this brand new trailer. She shows off her stuff in a cave that’s particularly fond of arachnids, which compliments her web-based moves nicely. While people didn’t react very kindly to her design, saying it was too boring, I actually think she looks pretty unique, and theSpider-Womanvibe could make for a fun playstyle....

Like a (Double) Dragon Modus Games and Secret Base areteaming upto beatDouble Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragonsright into our faces this summer. Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragonsbrings back the brothers Lee, as well as a couple more dragons to make quadruple dragons. Marian joins the brothers, after becoming tired of bad guys constantly carrying her off. Meanwhile, I hope Uncle Matin is actually their uncle. There’s reportedly going to be a total of 13 playable characters, but the gameplay only supports two-player local coop....

Over 650 million downloads to date Activision has announced thatCall of Duty Mobilehas been a staggering success for the publisher, having been downloaded over 650 million times since its launch back in October 2019. In fact, the mobile shooter is so popular, that Activision notes that its playerbase is almost as large as that of theCoDplayerbase on PC and consoles. Call of Duty Mobile, currently one of the single most popular mobile games on the planet, was already sitting pretty at around 500 million downloads in the summer of 2021....

Oh, it’sCapsized! You rememberCapsized, right? Fairly substantial news on this front — it’s going to launch this Friday on Steam for $9.99. Been a while since I’ve gotten to see the game, and it’s looking much more polished. Screenshots, like the onesshown here, give it aMetroidvibe. In terms of the alien creatures and non-linear levels, yes, butCapsizedis quite a bit faster on the whole. In fact, developer Alientrap Games has said its taken inspiration from first-person shooters....

This trailer, haha.Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombieswould get a trailer like this. After a short beta, the free-to-play game is out now onSteam. It’s likeCounter-Strike 1.6with a bunch of crazy, cobbled-together modes and, “Yeah, let’s add zombies and a bunch of weird crap because no one told us we couldn’t.” It’s rough around the edges but that’s part of the appeal, I think. Like, this probably shouldn’t be a new release in 2014, but it is, and I dig that....

Bosses go down in mere seconds Destiny 2, much like the original, has been having a whole host of issues since launch. Bungie will often times just push the “go” button and deploy patches while closing their eyes, and all sorts of code will just rattle around in the process. In addition toloot being bugged on a major activity recently(which wasn’t disclosed until after people ran it constantly looking for rewards), the Rat King weapon, for a time,was disabled— to the point where players couldn’t use it even if they had it....

There is no ‘I’ in ‘T E A M’ Devolver Digital, in association with silly studio Pastagames, haslifted the lidon a delightful-looking multiplayer puzzle platformer,KarmaZoo, currently in development for PC and console platforms. In KarmaZoo, teams of 10 randomly gathered players must use spirit, synergy, and even sacrifice to navigate a near-endless range of procedurally generated stages, all created within a pixel-perfect realm known as “The Loop”. The 10-strong team must capitalize on a huge menagerie of characters, (including a returning PixelCat), abilities, and perks in order to ensure that the whole squad, (well, not always the whole squad), is able to find their respective path through the level and, hopefully, get to the finish line unscathed....

OH GOD KILL IT Allistair Pinsof,is that you? Whoops! My mistake! The hideous Cacodemon. Born from the depths of Hell — or from the cover of aD&Dmanual, but whatevs. Now he’s returned in LEGO form, badder (and a little bit fatter) than ever before. This darling little hellspawn was constructed by LEGO architectBart De Dobbelaer. You ought to scope out the rest of his works. Like, look atthis sh*tand tell me that doesn’t blow your mind....

Promoted from our Community Blogs! [Destructoid turns seventhis Saturday, and all month long Dtoiders have been sharing their favorite memories from their time in the community over in ourCblogs. Here’s Swishiee’s…what’s yours?–Mr Andy Dixon] It’s hard to believe that we’re already nearing the seventh year of Destructoid. I’ve been visiting the site regularly for over two years now, yet it feels like it’s been forever. From making Jim Sterling feel my junk, to getting drunk with Max and Tara in San Francisco, to partying with the best damn community on the Internet at PAX Prime 2012, I’ve had so many great memories in such a short time that it’s hard to pick just one....
