Dreampath 2： Curse of the Swamps

Dreampath 2: Curse of the Swamps is a roguelike, but it’s definitely different in style and structure. In a blog post that covers more information, Victor Saltzpyre-From-Dead is developing the game and he discusses some of the options that players can take and how they can “take a more unconventional approach” with the second game.

He mentions “One of the many influences on the gameplay of Returnal is the use of a roguelike”, which seems appropriate. “Returnal’s gameplay mechanics are very different from the past games in that there are three different phases of the game, and each cycle has its own unique flavor and features. This formula allows the player to make the best of both worlds, allowing them to completely self-build their own brand of rogue-like.”

“There are three main story phases in Returnal,” he continues. “One of these phases, called Anomaly, allows players to get back to a safe room and repel waves of monsters. The other phase, called Anomaly, allows the player to gather and repel waves of monsters, which can be very challenging but also very rewarding.”

This means that players will need to go in all three phases to ensure that their time is limited and that they don’t get overrun by enemies. As such, players need to think about how they want to navigate the new world and their strategies and the number of enemies they need to take down.

While there’s no definitive answer as to how the mechanic will be handled in Returnal, it appears that it will be a big part of the game. After all, there are a ton of gameplay possibilities for what the game could theoretically be.

The first type of creature that players will come across is called the Mantas. These sentient, winged monstrosities can manipulate the world around them and manipulate objects. The Mantas are also made up of tons of vegetation, making them very difficult to fight. In addition, the enemies found throughout the world are completely blind, making it impossible for players to take them down without being detected by enemies.

In addition, the new enemy types introduced in Returnal have the potential to become so-called “vulnerable.” This means that players can find it in an environment where they are very close to a destructible wall or an entirely new enemy type. In other words, when facing a new enemy type in Returnal, the player will need to be smart about how they use their equipment and weapons.

In order to mitigate this, Housemarque has introduced Corruption zones, which essentially act as puzzles that require Selene to shoot their way through a series of increasingly challenging rooms. Corruption zones can either be avoided by engaging with them or the boss, and are usually heavily fortified, ensuring that players will have to constantly be moving around to avoid being hit. As players progress through Returnal’s biomes, they will also be given special equipment that can be used to defeat enemies.

Ridden in Returnal also seem to have an interesting set of patterns. The most dangerous of the new enemies is the Ogre (an enemy with a sickle-like design and large, deadlier arms), as the Ogre can be seen cleaving through walls and killing any player they encounter. These enemies have various resistances to the player’s weaponry, making them easy targets that can block certain attacks or make it difficult to avoid attacks. The Ogre is also equipped with a pipe-like appendage that players can shoot out of the pipe, which can be used to get around.

The final new enemy type is the Shriekers, a creature that will attach itself to the player to cling to walls. These enemies are equipped with an energy cannon that can shoot out balls of energy that can destroy certain enemies, though they can only reach higher. Along with the Shriekers, it seems like they will provide a lot of firepower to the player as well, though they do not have a lot of health. Finally, there is the Screwdriver, a humanoid brute that wields a large and long-range projectile that can do considerable damage.

Metroid Prime 4 is in development at Retro Studios, and though development is being led by series creator Yoshio Sakamoto, the game's logo is still visible on-screen. That's not to say that the game is not visually impressive, but fans are still excited to learn more. However, there's no telling when fans will learn more about Metroid Prime 4, and whether or not they will be able to play the game early next year.

During Metroid: Other M's announcement, Nintendo revealed that the game was in development for the Wii U, so it stands to reason that it's being developed on the NX instead.
