Trailer Attack: 14th April 2016 – Generations fantasy apocalypse doom
Plenty of RPGs flood today’s Trailer Attack! Just look at all those wonderful games.
Monster Hunter Generations
For the first time in Monster Hunter history, players will be able to change up how they play with Hunter Styles and equip unique special abilities called Hunter Arts. With Hunter Styles players can now tailor their chosen hunter to how they want to play by selecting from four very different styles. Whether it’s focusing on mounting monsters by selecting Aerial Style, or maximising the Hunter Arts abilities that can be equipped with the Striker Style, there’s a way of play to suit every player. Each Hunter Style possesses unique movements and attacks only available to that particular style, encouraging players to experiment and find the perfect fit for how they want to play with each of the game’s 14 weapon types. A closer look at these unique playing styles in action can be found in the brand new Monster Hunter Generations – Hunting Styles trailer below.

The Collider 2
What would you compare playing The Collider 2 against? Real life drone racing might be the closest comparison.

Space Box: The Journey out of the Box
“Can you think outside the box?” – this is the question Polish indie developer Tomek Graczyk puts before players in his 3D puzzle platformer Space Box: The Journey out of the Box. Seemingly innocent story of a box lost in space is actually a way of asking the players about their own freedom and creativity. The gameplay itself takes place in quite unusual way: by drawing a “jump vector” on the screen. The whole journey gets a big twist when Space Box realises he can do a “space turn” – a 90 degree turn in both left and right. Then the whole 3D universe stands open for him and the player, the one that’s outside the box – literally and metaphorically. Additional VR mode is playable hands-free on any iPhone & any VR goggles, while the “normal mode” is playable on both: iPhone and iPad. Space Box: The Journey out of the Box is out now on iOS.
Armored Warfare
Panzerfest comes to Armored Warfare. During this event, players will have the opportunity to join one of the three factions battling for supremacy, with the winning faction receiving a reward for their overwhelming dominance.
