Play with the fate of Legends in a battle of wits, strategy and combat, where lives are gambled on the turn of your cards. Leave your minions behind as you fight your own battles, expand and master your deck, and face the challenge of unique card combat. Chronicle is a new kind of card gaming experience.
I think at one point in every person’s life who has ever played pc games they have encountered “Runescape”. I for one was surprised to see that Runescape was indeed still going in such a strong manner after 15 years.
“Chronicles” is a tactical card game set in the runescape universe that is far closer to a strategy game than a card game. Playing in a one on one setting you need to manage several resources such the character HP and gold for your hero to survive through five chapters and then ultimately best your opponent in a duel at the end of the fifth chapter. The other way to find victory is to have your opponent fail to survive to that point and die on the way.
Chronicles is entirely free to play with the only purchases being for cosmetic items, you gain cards by spending copper which you get at the end of each game or by levelling up.
Chronicles is a step in the right direction for a burgeoning card game genre on PC and looks to cement itself in its own unique way amongst titans like Hearthstone.

Today was the press day at Gamescom, and the time when things begin to shift up a gear as far as reveals and presentations go.
One of Ubisoft’s reveals centred around a new expansion to their open-world racer game The Crew. Following on from their extreme sports-themed Wild Run expansion which brought motorbikes and more off-road events to the game, their latest expansion will be focusing on a different aspect of the game world – the police.
Calling All Units will add new cops vs racers gameplay, as well as bringing tweaked AI for the cops, increasing the level cap and the introduction of new vehicles to fit some of the new events. Apparently developed as a result of the community’s feedback, Ubisoft are going to be releasing the expansion November 29th.
“Racers have been owning the place until today – time to set the record straight! Join the cops and put an end to their supremacy in frantic, high-risk pursuits all over the USA.
Inspired by our community’s feedback, The Crew: Calling All Units includes a brand new Cops vs. Racers gameplay, retuned police AI, 10 extra levels, and of course a wide range of new vehicles.”
Tinybuild has had a large presence distributing indie games, as well as publishing their own games. Their time today at Gamescom 2016 was spent showing off a number of things.
First up was Clustertruck, a runner type game where you “jump on trucks and stay on trucks”. Various abilities are also available, including a grapple and teleport. Massive crashes and mayhem were also shown off. The game looked frantic as even the devs struggled to cross the finish line a few times using the double jump, jetpack and other items. It was fast paced and looked to be an interesting, and as a plus….it had lasers and a mode called “epic mode” which gives the screen black bars and epic music. For a small studio- Landfall Games only has 4 memebers- Clustertruck certainly looks impressive. Fans of creating their own levels will also be pleased to know the game has a level editor. According to the developers, Clustertruck will be released sometime in September.
*Landfall is also the studio working on Totally Accurate Battle Simulator, which was only shown briefly, but looks hilarious with googly eyed soldiers fighting it out.
“The Climb” is a VR game for oculus rift from Crytek that looks little better than a tech demo for what the oculus can do, as opposed to a fully-fledged title.
From what was shown the one of the challenges in the game is that certain hand holds in the game might be “dirty” at which point you will need to brush them off to clean them before being able to continue the climb or possibly having to climb in the dark. As it stands the game doesn’t seem massively appealing and the inclusion of “99 achievements” seems more of an afterthought as a bullet point for talking of the game, a very interesting addition would be doing a climb race versus friends.

Among the games shown off today was Ubisoft’s combat simulator For Honor, one of many games that caught people’s attention just through the use of a brilliant looking trailer.
Among the things we discovered today is that the game is due to have a public alpha test next month. It’ll be starting on September 15th, and in order to be eligible for invites you need to sign-up at the site for the game at forhonorgame.com and then hope that you are chosen as one of the lucky people chosen for entrance into the alpha testing period.
About the game itself it is said that already they’ve been working on trying to make the game suit all types of playstyles to draw in the most players they can. There will be a campaign singleplayer as well as multiplayer and characters you play can learn new skills and tricks as you progress more. There will also be offered bonuses for people who pre-order, including some access to game before release.
The last big thing about the game was that it was revealed that For Honor would be coming out for Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC in the first few months of the next year. It’s due for release on February 14th 2017.
