REMEDIUM Act 2 - New Content Released Today!

30 Nov, 2023

We are thrilled to announce the release of the first content update of Act 2 for REMEDIUM!

Today’s content update is the first stage in the full Act 2 release, including a new location, new mutant types, boss and new story content being made available for players to experience. A further two locations, enemy types, bosses and additional story arcs will be released over the coming weeks to complete the full Act 2 launch.

We also pleased to announce that there will be NO price increase for REMEDIUM following today’s content update. The price will only increase when we are happy with the content and quality of the game in general and Act 2 in particular. For now, the focus is delivering the most polished and content-complete version of the game during its Steam Early Access phase.

Since the launch of Act 1, we’ve been busy gathering your feedback and introducing many quality-of-life improvements and new features, many of which were requested by players already active on the Steam Early Access release. Some of these quality-of-life improvements include the balancing of battles to make weak enemies more dynamic, a reworked dash movement, new enemy spawn mechanics, improved VFX, blood effects and HUD, as well as many other cosmetic enhancements to the game world. We will continue to work with the community on today’s update to improve and polish the upcoming content ahead of the full Act 2 release and extend our thanks for the support and feedback on REMEDIUM’s Early Access launch so far and look forward to further collaboration throughout the development journey.

Following directly on from the devastating boss battle at the end of Act 1, REMEDIUM Act 2 opens a new chapter in the hunt for a cure to the Grey plague and to your very survival in the world ravaged by hordes of mutants and chimeras. Armed only with your journal, you must navigate the snowy mountain paths and survive the onslaught of warring tribes of mutants spread across three village locations. In each new location, the blood thirsty mutants are protected by a terrifying and unique boss, which must be defeated in order to unveil the path to the cure for the disease and the survival of the remaining humans.

REMEDIUM Act 2 features:

Act 2 will introduce three new locations with unique mutant types and terrifying bosses.
Today’s update unveils the new Fort location along with new mutants and boss type - Despite their beast-like looks these mutants wear armor and use human weapons like clubs, spears and even mortars. They inhabit a ruined fortress nestled into the mountainside protected by a deadly new boss. Mutant types: Grunt, Pikeman, Gunner. Boss: Huntress. Two more locations (Mine and Abbey), mutant types and bosses, will complete Act 2 and be released soon.
Continuation of the intriguing storyline of the hero’s deadly journey.
Players can craft new parts for their weapons (to further customize them and deal different types of damage) with the new reagents found in Act 2.
Updated visuals and player accessibility for an enhanced gameplay experience.
An improved upgrade system where players can now spend resources to become stronger.
Dash movement and Almalgams use have been split for greater accessibility.
Language support for English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Polish, Chinese, Japanese and Korean, with further enhancements to be added.

The Prologue for Cats on Duty is now available to download for free!

2 Nov, 2023

Good news everyone!

The cat-tastic playable prologue for Cats on Duty is now available to download for free!

It’s a purr-fectly hilarious and action-packed blend of real-time strategy, tower defense, and match-3 mechanics, where heavily armed battle-hardened cat veterans of rodent skirmishes and yarn tangles take charge in defending their homeland (and litter boxes) against the forces of great evil!

The Steam Prologue contains the whole first chapter of Cats on Duty spread over 10 captivating levels, each showcasing a unique challenge and certain game feature. There is even a minigame, and a full boss fight to get your claws into, to prepare you for what’s to come in the final game.

Here you can also try out the co-op mode with your friends or family. One player focuses on the tile-matching field of the game screen to win the food needed to recruit and upgrade your battle cats while the other builds an unbreakable line of defense. Co-op mode can be easily activated or deactivated from the start menu or as you play.

With ‘cat’ and ‘kitten’ difficulty levels available, you can adjust game difficulty on the fly should you find the current level too hard or too easy for your skills or mood. You will also be able to carry over your Prologue save files into the main game so you can either continue from where you left off or reset the game progress in the settings menu and start over!

So try the free Prologue and add Cats on Duty to your wishlist!

BattleJuice Alchemist transmutes into action!

27 Sep, 2023

ESDigital Games and Alchemical Works are delighted to reveal their action adventure RPG title BattleJuice Alchemist and its new announcement trailer!

BattleJuice Alchemist is a complex alchemy RPG that adds an equipment-based skill system to the classic aRPG formula. Focus on top-down combat or opt for JRPG-style one-on-one fights. Explore the wilderness, learn ritual magic, and craft potions to fight demonic hordes overrunning the lands.

Juice, the alchemist, is called to Caribou Creek to fight the demons that roam the lands. As your unique version of Juice, you explore the wilderness that once was New England. Fight evil in classic action RPG isometric top-down view and in bullet-time close combat.

Find and craft items with game-changing powers. Master BattleJuice Alchemist’s deck-building mechanics by arranging your compilation of flasks to suit your playstyle. Accentuate your character beyond character customization by using ritual magic as long-term buffs. Meet strange creatures from the Crossroads while the dark plot of BattleJuice Alchemist unravels.

UNIQUE ITEMS AND CHARACTER BUILDS

Loot and Craft: As an alchemist you wear no armor and wield no sword, but you rain down fire on your enemies. Find flasks with unique properties in the wilderness or craft them at your workbench. In deck-building fashion you create a compilation of flasks which you randomly draw from.

Unique Skill System: In BattleJuice Alchemist, your flasks are your skills. Every flask can be used the normal way and at times in a supercharged, "jucified" way for stronger effects. Some flasks have powers attached to them that drastically change their effects when used, which allows you to develop your own playstyle.

EXPLORE A DARK WORLD

Procedural Landscapes, Hand-crafted Towns: The world of BattleJuice Alchemist is separated into vast levels of procedural landscape. Every valley, sea, river, mountain, building, stone, tree and item is placed by a unique algorithm. This allows you to continue exploring after you completed the main story. Quest locations are still hand-crafted to tell compelling stories.

Dark Lands to Discover: You are influenced by daytime and weather effects and so are your enemies. But they are also buffed by the evermore spawning demons’ presence. Find dark altars to hold their influence at bay and discover many other secrets.

ENGAGING COMBAT

Classic isometric ARPG action: Fight your enemies from afar in classic top down view. Throw explosive or freezing flasks at them, prepare ambushes of explosive barrels. Use the “Frog Hop” flask to jump away from danger or right into close combat.

Close Combat with Bullet-time: Enter close combat with an enemy, where you can interact hands on by dodging or using smoke flasks to avoid being hit. Manage your resources and flasks during these intense one on one battles against your awe-inspiring enemies from the Crossroads.

REMEDIUM Combats Fate in Compelling First Chapter Today!

14 Sep, 2023

GREAT NEWS EVERYONE! REMEDIUM, the twin-stick shooter set in the grim post-apocalyptic Renaissance, engages the unforgiving wilds in the first chapter, is now available on Steam Early Access with a 20% launch discount!

Set in the same decaying universe as REMEDIUM: Sentinels, REMEDIUM’s second and third installments will enter the fray later this year.

Decades after the horrific Grey Plague wiped out nearly all human life, turning unfortunate souls and delicate fauna into decaying, hungry beasts, little remains. The few remaining survivors desperately fortify their defenses while searching for a cure, but hope dwindles for one as when a mission outside the fortress walls results in the infection invading their veins. He must scour the devastated landscape in search of a cure or be cast from the encampment forever.

Slay abominable mutants in perishing biomes, ready to strike in deadly droves. Evade chimeras, gargoyles, golems, elementals, and more with skillful dodging maneuvers while tearing through them with powerful combinations of firearms and alchemical ammunition. As the infection grows stronger, make the most of its horrific symptoms by using them as battle advantages.

Search every dark corner for vital ingredients to upgrade weapons, armor, strength, and stamina in the form of amalgams, injections, and potions. Inoculate as needed to enhance combat abilities, or weave mysterious elemental power into dwindling ammunition to make every shot count. Fight through every last beast and boss to survive long enough to find the antidote!
