In the near future, an experimental attempt to harness the power of the Earth’s core ends in a terrifying disaster: the release of the Sludge God. This eldritch abomination begins terraforming the area, turning soil to scum and the living to undead monsters. However, the genius behind the experiment has a plan to make things right. All he needs is a team of competent, highly trained mercenaries to get the job done… Unfortunately, they were all too expensive. Which is why he’s hired…
The Toxic Commandos
Take control of one of the commandos, team up with your friends and send the Sludge God and its horde of things-that-should-never-be back to the underworld. Choose the class that matches your playstyle, pile into your favorite ride, and unload an array of gunfire, grenades, special abilities, and freaking katanas as you save the planet.
So if you’re the kind of person who likes:
Buddy-movie vibes and the over-the-top humor, action, and horror of classic 80s cinema, inspired by the legendary John Carpenter.
Teaming up with friends to face down hordes of monsters who want to eat your face.
An explosive cocktail of visceral first-person shooter action and apocalyptic environments.
Upgrading your skills and testing new abilities against increasingly hardcore challenges.
Saving the planet against impossible odds.
Then now’s your time to go commando!
Watch the exhilarating Reveal Trailer, which premiered at the Summer Game Fest Live Showcase, for a first taste of the game’s over-the-top gameplay and John Carpenter-inspired 80’s vibes, packed with action, humor and horror.
John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando will be available for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC via the Epic Games Store in 2024.

Cross Tails follows a story-driven plot and stage levels depicted in a 3D quarter view. Player will throw themselves into turn-based battles with a wide range of characters each with their own classes. The game features over 60 stages with multiple endings, four difficulty levels and a skill tree system with over 30 job classes.
Cross Tails Features:
Develop Your Party with the Skill Tree – Each of the game’s 30-plus jobs have their own skill tree, which can be unlocked and upgraded by spending Job Points. The passive skills you learn can still be set even after changing jobs, so you can enjoy a wide range of battle styles by combining jobs and skills.

Strategic Battles that Utilize Elevation and Terrain – Cross Tails is a quarter-view strategy RPG—you can utilize the varying elevations when you attack, or even strike from the enemy’s behind. Utilizing terrain effects is also key. Use magic to strike a group of enemies at once, push the enemy back with knockback attacks—this is a strategy RPG at its finest. Respond to each move as it happens and show off your resourcefulness.
