Tiny Combat Arena burst onto the scene with one of the best trailers in years. It’s not a complete game yet, but even with the preview version, I managed to have some fun.

The Barons’ War | Fortified Niche playtest!
Ye medieval times was the best time to hop on a horse, round up some friends, and beat the shit out of another guy who did the same. That’s what you do in The Barons’ War, the game we just reviewed for the podcast.

Recently, Kotaku took a look at Ready or Not, the Kiwi-developed SWAT-like. Luckily, they touched upon the politics angle, which I had entirely missed whilst watching Controlled Pairs play it.

With the Early Access out not a month later (and asking €30 from mortals), we can wager a guess: they knew it’s not ready.
