/
In celebration of SEGA's 60th anniversary, SEGA will be releasing Streets of Kamurocho, a beat 'em up inspired by Streets of Rage 2. Featuring Kiryu and Majima from the popular Yakuza series.
Developed by Empty Clip Studios, Streets of Kamurocho is a 2D beat 'em up where you take control of either the Dragon of Dojima, Kiryu Kazuma, or the Mad Dog of Shimano, Goro Majima, across levels inspired by areas from the Yakuza series. The game will be free to download on Steam starting on October 17, 2020 until October 19, 2020.
A few other classic games and genres are being given a modern remix for SEGA's 60th anniversary:
Armor of Heroes - the retro thrill of old school top-down tank battles done with today's modern approach, integrating assets from Relic Entertainment's Company of Heroes series. Available October 15-19.
Endless Zone - a side-scrolling ship shooter that takes notes from SEGA's Fantasy Zone and based on Amplitude Studios' Endless series. Available October 16-19.
Golden Axed: A Cancelled Prototype - an entry from the sadly lost SEGA Reborn series, a SEGA IP that would have consisted of modern reboots of SEGA classics, Golden Axed is a restored build of a 2.5D reboot of the old hack and slash, Golden Axe. Available October 18-19.
Along with all of this is a huge sale on various SEGA games on Steam as well as a few games that can be claimed for free such as Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and a map in Total War: SHOGUN 2. If you link you register your Steam account on the SEGA 60th anniversary website, a free copy of NiGHTS Into Dreams will be sent to your account.
Metaphor: ReFantazio is now my favorite title from the Persona team by far. It’s one of those rare games where its main pillars work harmoniously, and you get lost in its charm. It’s a pristine JRPG, with enough style and substance to satisfy hardcore JRPG fans, Persona fans, and even those who rarely touch JRPGs.
