After many months of waiting and doubt, the time has finally come to reveal developer Biclops Games’s latest project. Your prayers have been heard it seems and it will indeed be a new installment of the beloved and praised Monsters’ Den series.

Behold, the first teaser of Monsters’ Den: Godfall has been released and the speculation can begin. The image shows what looks to be a warrior, one of the playable classes of the game. Unfortunately, this is in fact the only information that has been made public, together with an introduction of the game’s new storyline which you can read below!

“In the beginning, there were many gods. Until war came to heaven.

One by one, over several centuries, the gods fell. Each Godfall brought a fierce meteor shower, as well as the sudden death of their every worshipper. As the gods continued to fall and entire kingdoms were brought to ruin by the sympathetic deaths of the devout, many renounced their faith in the hope of being spared. Without divine protection, large numbers succumbed to possession and corruption as the demonic powers forced their entry into the world.

Now, there is but one God. To even speak her true name is forbidden, and her clerics exert absolute power over the remaining human cities. Nomadic greenskin tribes pillage and burn their way across the land. Ambitious necromancers harvest the bones of fallen civilizations to amass undead armies of incredible size. The dwarves of the Earthern Nations burrow ever deeper, trying to escape the madness of the surface world. Horrors wait there in the depths, ready to boil out and claim the old places. The human heretics of the Cult of the Outward Path seek to break free from this world, risking it in the process. And all the while, sinister forces yet unseen lurk in the shadows and lay their plans.”

It surely does sound both mysterious and promising to the fans of the series. There is no word on a release date yet, but as soon as more details about Monsters’ Den: Godfall are released you’ll find it here! If you haven’t already, make sure to have played the previous game: Monsters’ Den: Book of Dread

It has been some time since we last heard of Dark Realm Studios, known for their Pandemic series and more recently for the release of their defense game called The Farm. However, we’ve just received news on their latest developments and we must say it looks very promising and we can’t wait to play it!

Tethys is a scrolling shooter flash game inspired by arcade classics such as Raiden. The entire game is set deep in outer space filled with hostile alien spacecrafts. Instead of giving players the opportunity to memorize predefined enemy formations and spawning patterns, players will be forced to constantly adapt to new situations: enemy numbers and timings are based off of the player’s actions and movements.

Players will be constantly challenged due to the fact that the game is designed to exploit player weaknesses. Tethys features an AI Director that’s explicitly designed to monitor and react to the progress of every battle. If players are having difficulty with a specific enemy they can expect to encounter more of that enemy type. This doesn’t mean that players will be forced to fight nothing but the strongest ship however: the AI Director takes into account the strength of enemy ships.

Tethys features two different gameplay modes: standard and survival. Standard mode challenges players to fight through 5 different levels as players are exposed to more than 10 normal enemies as well as 5 unique and intense bosses. As players progress through standard mode they will be given the opportunity to purchase new weapons or upgrades for their ship through an in-game store menu. Survival mode simply challenges players to stay alive for as long as they can.

Developer Dark Realm Studios can’t wait for people to try out their new game which is slated to be released by early April 2010. We’ll keep you updated till then and make sure to check out the latest screenshots below!
