Guerrilla Collective 2 Day 1 and 2 Recap

So… many… games…

The Guerilla Collective has returned for a second year and had two days worth of livestreaming where they showed off some games (both upcoming and released) and some panels. Here, I’ll be combining the two days worth of game announcements into one. Guerilla Collective has a featured Steam page (which you may have already noticed) and some games do have demos available (Which I’ll mark with a “*” here).

Without any further ado:

• Aeon Drive*
  In this action-platformer, you’ll be rushing through the cyberpunk landscapes of Neo Barcelona as you take your speedrunning skills (or lack thereof if you’re like me) to sprint and dash through. Though, we do have Jackelyne’s ability of time warping to save us from the frustration of repetition. This is set to release on Steam on consoles.
• AK-xolotl*
  Looks like this axolotl is using its cuteness to its advantage. And, as you can guess, you play as an axoltl that somehow got its little hands on an AK and goes on a hangry rampage. This is set to release on Steam.
• Akatori
  Play as Mako in this metroidvania-styled adventure as she embarks on a quest to save the world. She even has the power to switch between two different parallel dimensions as she explores a fantasy world with a sleeping ancient God. This will release on Steam.
• Among Us
  It’s hard not to have already heard about Among Us already, where you and up to 9 others must complete tasks while finding out who the imposter is (with the imposter killing the crewmates and sabotaging them), and it looks like this has a road map that includes adding 15 player support, new colors, graphics updates, a new map, and new ways to play (including the fan favorite Hide ‘n’ Seek).
• Anew: The Distant Light*

• ANNO: Mutationem
  I almost couldn’t find what the first game that was showcased was, despite finding it familiar. Well, the first game that was showcased was ANNO: Mutationem which blends 2D and 3D gameplay as you’ll be switching between the two when going from the more action platforming half to the exploration half. You’ll play as Ann, a kind-of lone wolf, as she sets out on a personal mission. You’ll be able to explore and slash your way through a giant cyberpunk Metropolis. This is set to release on both Steam and Playstation.
• Aragami 2
  A third person stealth game where you play as an assassin with the power to control shadows.

You’ll be going all the way back to where the series began, Planet Sophia, to save Eve.
• Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
  If you’re a fan of Castlevania and hate that no new games have come out, well Bloodstained will scratch that itch (especially if you played Dawn of Sorrow like I did). Not gonna lie, the dialog is pretty cringy, but it’s a great game (and it was announced that this will be getting a sequel!). And it looks like this will be heading over to Stadia.
• Blooming Business: Casino
  You’ll finally be able to design, build, and run your very own casino in a world with anthropomorphic animals.

• Demon’s Mirror
  A roguelike deckbuilder combined with a match-3 battler where you use cards to attack/defend and also the tiles to attack/defend by chaining them. It also looks like there will be cards that will also help you with clearing part of the board to chain more tiles. A little bit confusing, but it looks like the tile action is free the first time in a turn and you can use it to get an extra attack in or more shield. This will release on Steam next year.

• Elderand

Separated and not able to contact each other (as well, this is the 90s before cell phones or the internet), Maya may or may not have made a horrible decision to venture out in hopes to reach Devin (who uses this time to reminisce on the memories they made together). As Maya, you’ll be using the ability to rotate the map to solve puzzles, travel, and avoiding barricades, traffic jams, and I don’t know… THE FIRE.
