Nantucket - the maritime PC strategy game launches today

Funchal (Madeira), 18th January 2018: Portuguese production company Fish Eagle, in partnership with Italian developer, Picaresque Studio, is proud to announce that Nantucket – the seafaring strategy game based on Moby Dick, launches today on PC.

With Nantucket finally out of dock, ready to challenge wannabe sea captains to hunt whales and explore the high seas using their own strategic wit and cunning, there’s no better time to get your hooks into the game, which happens to have a 10% discount for the first week of sale.

Set in the golden era of American whaling in the early 19th century, Nantucket takes place shortly after the events in the Pequod, where Captain Ahab and his crew lost their lives to Moby Dick. As Ishmael, the sole survivor of the Pequod, you’ll explore the seven seas, captain your ship, fight pirates and hunt whales, whilst on the lookout for your old foe, Moby Dick, in search of the ultimate redemption.

Nantucket is a game like no other, and explores the fiction of the time in a detailed world to explore, manage and conquer, including:

EXPLORE THE SEVEN SEAS: Set sail around the world, visit cities, and increase your prestige by hunting whales, landing jobs, and searching for new adventures.

BE THE CAPTAIN YOU WANT TO BE: Develop your character in true RPG fashion, by increasing your stats, choosing your reactions, and developing your seafaring skills.

MANAGE YOUR SHIP AND CREW: Hire and manage your crew, give them tasks on your ship, and improve your ship with new compartments, expanding your ship’s capabilities.

EXPERIENCE THE GOLDEN AGE OF WHALING: Experience more than a thousand unique events tailored around your choices and face the consequences of your actions.

HUNT WHALES AND FIGHT PIRATES: Discover new whaling areas, hunt whales for blubber, and protect your ship from pirates using a turn-based combat system.

CHASE AFTER MOBY DICK: Follow an original storyline and complete quests to unveil the secrets behind Moby Dick and dissolve Ahab’s curse.

“We’re absolutely delighted to finally launch Nantucket onto the digital high seas,” said Marco Mantoan, Designer, Picaresque Studio. “It’s been a long journey, but during the past few months of beta testing we have felt our community near us, helping us to deliver what we believe is a unique glimpse of the world narrated by Herman Melville in Moby Dick.”

Richard Benn, Managing Director, Fish Eagle, added: “Fish Eagle has reached out to lot of press, YouTubers and Twitch streamers over the past few months. Their feedback has been extremely valuable to the development team, and their passion for the project demonstrates how, even in an overcrowded market, it’s possible to deliver something unique and fulfilling for the players.”

Super Dungeon Bros Free-To-Play on Steam Until January 25th

Watford, U.K — January 18, 2018 — Wired Productions, a leading games publisher, is delighted to announce that, the rock-n-roll inspired co-op dungeon brawler, Super Dungeon Bros is free-to-play January 18th-25th via Steam on Windows PC and Mac.
Prospective players can reacquaint themselves with the bros in the free week promo

The free week brings with it a 75% discount on both the base game and existing DLC, whilst also coinciding with the release of brand new content for the rogue-like action brawler. The Idols DLC which launches today brings with it not only cosmetic enhancements for your Bros and Broettes but also a whole new way to play with the Idols weapon class:

Add to your arsenal with new devastating ranged weapons that are worth worshipping. Control the enemy crowd by cursing, chilling, summoning and enveloping your enemies. In addition to the power of the Idols, unlock 8 more bro-tastic helmets and an all new Ultimate.

On top of the latest DLC and the game's new Horde mode (which sees the Bros defend their shack against endless waves of the most horrible monsters, free across all formats,) developer React Games has made a number of improvements to gameplay and matchmaking since the games launch.

In the multiplayer-centric Super Dungeon Bros, a band of heavy metal heroes are summoned to embark on a quest from the Gods of Rock. Their mission: to navigate the fantasy realm of Rökheim and seek out epic loot, vanquish hordes of evil undead and uncover the legends of long lost fabled rock stars! Featuring captivating, laugh out loud action and adventure, players can rock out on or offline with four bros as they fling their friends onto far off ledges and distant trap triggers, or unleash their best tag team tactics with the ultimate bro-op offensive. Legendary tools of destruction can be individually levelled up to carry progress across sessions, and players can unleash weapon-specific co-op attacks that grow in power as others join in, such as the Bronado (stack up to create a whirling totem pole of destruction).

Three unique and challenging worlds await the brave ones as they explore the rock-themed realm of Rökheim and dive deep into the worlds of Cryptheim (an underground dungeon complex), Chillheim (a brewery built upon a natural brew geyser) and Bogheim (a sprawling jungle filled with poisonous plants and animals). Players will never rock the same dungeon twice thanks to the random room generation AI, and near-endless dungeon combinations! To keep things fresh between campaign sessions, players are also able to assemble and compete against other teams in the daily and weekly challenges to see who can claim the top spot on the global leaderboards!

Developed by Utah-based React Games, Super Dungeon Bros is published by Wired Productions and physical retail distribution is handled by THQ Nordic. This title has been rated "E10+ for Everyone 10 and up" by the ESRB, PEGI 7 and USK 6.
