What is Nighthawks? It's a vampire game where the vampires have been exposed to the world... but it's also different in tone from most. Vampire games tend to be cold and cynical, but this time, being a light in the darkness can be the real adventure.

have you played the new mecha card battler being called "a Gundam good time" (@escapistmag.bsky.social) yet?

Battle Suit Aces combines our love of mecha anime, Star Trek, and rich, heartfelt narrative into one big card-battling RPG with beautiful art. Available now on PC, PS5, and Switch!

Yan, Daciana, and Jaeger laugh with each other over a bowl of snacks at a table. Belmont looks on from the doorway.

Blue Crest, Felix's signature Relic Suit mech rests upright in the hangar.

A space station, grey with purple lights, floats among the stars.

Yan has a picture of Adolphus, a purple haired mystery, up on her computer screen. Daciana is behind her, looking over her shoulder.

New soundtrack release day! I'm very happy to finally be able to share the complete soundtrack to the game Battle Suit Aces, which launched today! I've been working on this for the past year and a half, and it's a love letter to the classic 80's / 90's anime orchestra sound!

His expression is stern and his eyebrows are bushy. He is standing in red light and obscuring a mech behind him. The text he is facing toward reads "5 days until launch. Battle Suit Aces.
