“I wanted to recapture the pure energy of couch gaming with friends: simple rules, short rounds, and that exact moment when everything goes off the rails because of a single power-up. Velocide Overdrive embodies the pick-up-and-play simplicity of arcade games, while still offering genuine depth with detailed stats and advanced customization,”
 – Mikael, creator of Velocide Overdrive.

Key Features:

  • 1 to 6 players: Local multiplayer, AI bots, and Steam Remote Play Together (up to 4 players online).
  • 71 power-ups: Buffs, debuffs, and global effects—triggering wild synergies and chain reactions.

Assetto Corsa Rally: Early Access adds Monte-Carlo stages and two new legendary rally cars with 0.3 Release

505 Games and Supernova Games Studios in technical partnership with KUNOS Simulazioni have announced the addition of Monte‑Carlo rally stages as the last major step in Assetto Corsa Rally’s Early Access program!

Monte-Carlo Rally

For the first time ever in a rally title, players will experience fully laser‑scanned Monte-Carlo Rally Stages, delivered with uncompromising precision that captures the character, road geometry, and technical challenge that make this area legendary in rallying.

The Monte Carlo Rally is famous for unpredictable weather, featuring snow, ice, and dry asphalt. It tests drivers’ skills and adaptability making it one of the most challenging rallies in the world. This iconic location is being delivered as two fully laser-scanned stages, La Bollène-Vésubie, Col de Turini (18 Km) and Sisteron (13 Km).

La Bollène-Vésubie, Col de Turini – 18 km: One of rally’s most storied mountain stages, La Bollène-Vésubie, Col de Turini is defined by relentless elevation changes, narrow passages, and a near‑endless flow of tight hairpins and off‑camber corners. Mechanical sympathy, throttle control, and absolute precision are essential to mastering this unforgiving route.

Sisteron – 13 km: In contrast, Sisteron delivers a fast, flowing test of commitment and rhythm. Featuring wide, smooth roads and long, open corners, this 13 km stage emphasizes high speed direction changes, critical braking zones with limited visibility and precise pace-note timing. Average speeds remain high throughout, but its deceptive rhythm punishes over‑commitment.

Two New Cars Added to the Garage

To help drivers face the new Monte‑Carlo challenge, the update introduces two iconic and competitively proven rally cars:

  • Lancia Fulvia Coupé 1.6 HF Gr. 4 – FWD Featuring a narrow‑angle 1.6L V4 producing 115–130+ HP, the Fulvia HF famously won the 1972 International Rally Championship and the Monte‑Carlo Rally.
  • ŠKODA Fabia RS Rally2 – 4WD A modern FIA Rally2-spec machine powered by a 289 HP 1.6L turbo engine, celebrated for winning its competitive debut at the 2022 Lausitz Rally.

A Breakthrough in Rally Weather Simulation: Dynamic Snow

This update introduces the first dynamic snowy weather condition ever seen in a rally game. Mirroring real Monte‑Carlo conditions, drivers can experience a stage starting with dry shunshine, though snowy covered mountains.

Unlike traditional rally titles—where snow appears only in fixed areas—Assetto Corsa Rally allows snowfall anywhere on the stage when realistic atmospheric conditions are met.

Dynamic weather takes in consideration specific rules:

  • Snow begins when it is raining and temperatures fall below 0°C
  • Temperature varies with location, time of day, and altitude
  • Tarmac grip decreases with cold surfaces

Snow is currently exclusive to both Monte‑Carlo stages.
 

New Winter and Snow Tyre Compounds

To support the challenging mountain conditions, the update adds also New winter and Snow tyre compunds including the ability to mix and match tyre compunds mirroring real wolrld rally strategy.

Tyre selection becomes a critical component of performance as weather evolves dynamically throughout the stage.

The new update will introduce also 40 new ACR events along with several improvements and fixes, for further info check here

Assetto Corsa Rally is available now on Steam Early Access for €29,99/$29.99/£24.99.

Join the Early Access program today to experience the game months before its official release, contribute feedback, and help the development team refine every detail of the simulation.

Players can also purchase a special Steam bundle including Assetto Corsa Rally andAssetto Corsa EVO with a 10% off bundle discount.

Demo for weapon-building metroidvania Clockwork Ambrosia now available on Steam

Indie game developer Realmsoft, in partnership with OI Games, has unleashed a new demo for their upcoming weapon-customizing metroidvania Clockwork Ambrosia!

14 years in the making, Clockwork Ambrosia (previously known as “Ambrosia”) is a 2D metroidvania with an emphasis on building your own weapons. Part Metal Slug, part Borderlands, and all metroidvania, Clockwork Ambrosia is a steampunk fusion of classic 2D “search action” adventures with more modern modification options. Rig up endless combinations of powers from screen-filling shot splitters, to devastating missile strikes, to armor-piercing sniper rounds. There are countless ways to tailor your kit!

Players are placed in the boots of Iris, an itinerant airship engineer trying to escape the island of Aspida after a near-miss airship crash. Our plucky heroine soon finds herself caught up in a mystery spawning eons when the island’s populace disappears, seemingly replaced by deadly robots and monsters. It’s up to her to uncover the truth of what befell the island’s populace and restore the land to its former glory.

Exploration and discovery drive the world of Clockwork Ambrosia. Brilliant pixel art takes players above the clouds to the steampunk wonders of a sky city, through the lush and gorgeous mushroom forest, and down below to the moody underbelly of the sunken kingdoms. Aspida holds many secrets and undiscovered biomes, but Iris won’t work alone, as she’ll meet a cast of eccentric characters ranging from benevolent rogue AI companions to bumbling mushroom folk.  

“We’re big fans of Super Metroid, but one aspect of that seminal classic we felt could be improved upon is its weapon-building,” said Nathan Hiemenz, Founder and Developer at Realmsoft. “In Super Metroid the weapon modifications are additive and unlocked in a linear progression, stacking on top of each other. Once you get an upgrade there’s no reason not to use it. We wanted to let players mix and match their weapon mods, as they have different advantages and disadvantages based on the scenario and player preference. Clockwork Ambrosia offers massive room for experimentation as you kit your character for a wide variety of challenges. This demo only scratches the surface of this, but it teases the core mechanics and tone of Clockwork Ambrosia, whetting players appetites ahead of its April launch.”

Clockwork Ambrosia features:

  • Side-scrolling action platformer with an authored, interconnected world to explore
  • Six vastly different weapons, each offering unique mechanics
  • 150+ modifications for simple and intuitive weapon-customization, offering endless experimentation
  • Snappy crafting system lets players unlock new powers and abilities at their own pace
  • Beautiful hand-drawn art bringing the world and characters to life
  • Original score composed by Johnny Stixx
  • A story of mystery, friends, robots, and at least one mysterious robot friend!
