00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.430
(inspiring music)

2
00:00:02.430 --> 00:00:05.550
- Hey, it's Jen. Welcome
to Kotaku's Week In Games.

3
00:00:05.550 --> 00:00:08.167
Here are our picks for what
to check out this week.

4
00:00:08.167 --> 00:00:10.800
"Bullet Bunny" is a twin-stick shooter

5
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:12.270
with roguelike mechanics.

6
00:00:12.270 --> 00:00:14.490
There's over 75 power-ups to choose from,

7
00:00:14.490 --> 00:00:16.350
so no two runs will feel the same.

8
00:00:16.350 --> 00:00:18.930
You'll have to survive
for 500 seconds at a time

9
00:00:18.930 --> 00:00:20.820
against hordes of enemies.

10
00:00:20.820 --> 00:00:23.220
If you thought "Watership
Down" didn't have enough guns,

11
00:00:23.220 --> 00:00:25.267
this may be the game for you.

12
00:00:25.267 --> 00:00:28.470
"Classified" France '44" is
a turn-based strategy game

13
00:00:28.470 --> 00:00:31.500
set in World War II during the
months leading up to D-Day.

14
00:00:31.500 --> 00:00:33.480
You'll take charge of a special ops team,

15
00:00:33.480 --> 00:00:35.970
including commandos and
French freedom fighters,

16
00:00:35.970 --> 00:00:37.650
as you build up a resistance network

17
00:00:37.650 --> 00:00:39.570
leading up to the Allied invasion.

18
00:00:39.570 --> 00:00:42.240
Basically, think "XCOM"
except you're shooting Nazis

19
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:43.627
instead of aliens.

20
00:00:43.627 --> 00:00:45.780
"'44" does bring
something new to the genre

21
00:00:45.780 --> 00:00:48.210
with its morale system,
where every shot taken

22
00:00:48.210 --> 00:00:51.060
has an impact on you or your enemies.

23
00:00:51.060 --> 00:00:53.580
Do you have happy memories
of the circus as a child?

24
00:00:53.580 --> 00:00:55.860
Well, "Reveil" is here to correct that,

25
00:00:55.860 --> 00:00:58.320
a narrative first-person psycho thriller

26
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:00.690
with a focus on puzzles and exploration.

27
00:01:00.690 --> 00:01:03.180
You play Walter Thompson,
a former stage builder

28
00:01:03.180 --> 00:01:05.820
who wakes up in the creepy
Nelson Brothers Circus

29
00:01:05.820 --> 00:01:08.580
with his wife and daughter
nowhere to be found.

30
00:01:08.580 --> 00:01:10.440
As you seek answers to their whereabouts,

31
00:01:10.440 --> 00:01:12.420
the lines between reality, memory,

32
00:01:12.420 --> 00:01:14.280
and imagination become blurred.

33
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:15.630
This sounds like the sort of game

34
00:01:15.630 --> 00:01:17.820
that's gonna feature a
murderous clown or two,

35
00:01:17.820 --> 00:01:19.803
so if that's your vibe, come on down.

36
00:01:20.827 --> 00:01:23.670
"Unicorn Overlord" comes
to us from Vanillaware,

37
00:01:23.670 --> 00:01:26.970
the studio behind "13
Sentinels" and "Odin Sphere".

38
00:01:26.970 --> 00:01:29.370
The developer now brings
their distinctive style

39
00:01:29.370 --> 00:01:33.390
to the tactical RPG genre,
blending overworld exploration

40
00:01:33.390 --> 00:01:35.160
with a whole new battle system.

41
00:01:35.160 --> 00:01:38.010
Kotaku's own Willa Rowe previewed
this a couple weeks back

42
00:01:38.010 --> 00:01:41.190
and it sounds like the
maps are absolutely huge

43
00:01:41.190 --> 00:01:44.220
and the strategy gets
real deep, real fast.

44
00:01:44.220 --> 00:01:46.050
Most importantly, all the food here

45
00:01:46.050 --> 00:01:50.550
looks incredibly delicious,
especially the ham salad.

46
00:01:50.550 --> 00:01:52.890
I actually didn't know
that ham could be a salad

47
00:01:52.890 --> 00:01:55.083
but I'm very on board with the concept.

48
00:01:56.160 --> 00:01:57.360
That'll do it for this week.

49
00:01:57.360 --> 00:01:59.610

forward to trying out?
