Games you can play this week – flying combatants and spooky mansions

In the shadow of Rocksteady’s Batman: Arkham Knight release last week, there are no other AAA releases on the schedule this week (or this month, for that matter).

There are, however, some interesting smaller-name titles hitting online and physical store shelves this week worth checking out:

Rise of Incarnates – 1 July

(PC)

Rise of Incarnates may not look like much, but it has an interesting concept. It’s a free-to-play action game blending fighting and shooting in a 2v2 battle arena.

The game’s playable characters are the so-called Incarnates, humans who have awoken mythical powers.

Players are encouraged to mix long-range assault with close-quarter combat. Their powers allow them to transform into a creature or summon a being to assist them in battle.

The Last Dogma – 30 June

(PC)

A weird first-person shooter is also on the cards this week.

The Last Dogma is described as a “dark comedy action adventure” set in the year 1999 of an alternate reality world, where US actively campaigns for world domination, UK is ruled by the dictator from Iran and Yugoslavia is being invaded by several countries.

It looks like it’s got some interesting ideas and some fun shooting segments, but expect it to be pretty rough around the edges.

Devilry – 30 June

(PC)

Another spooky game that will give you nightmares for weeks to come? Why not.

Devilry tasks you with surviving the night in your rural home as a sinister apparition causes havoc in the stately manor.

You’ve got to protect your family from the ghost using a variety of tools and weapons found around the estate, but it won’t exactly be shotguns and grenades.
