March brings a wave of new game releases, including the under-the-radar gem Crimson Dusk. This game features a 3D anime art style and puts players in the role of an Exorcist, Homura Hime, battling demons with fast-paced combos, bullet hell attacks, and platforming elements. The game emphasizes strategic combat with a satisfying parry mechanic and introduces a variety of skills and combos as players progress. Challenges also extend beyond combat within the explored world.
If the 2026 gaming year got off to a bit of a slow start, that’s all changed now that we’ve hit March. This month has truly come in swinging, with a ton of exciting new releases. So many, in fact, that it’s easy to miss some of the coolest new games that have come out in the past few weeks.
One such under-the-radar gem isCrimson Dusk and publisher Playism. It uses a 3D anime art style to craft a world full of demons that threaten the world. As a powerful Exorcist, title character Homura Hime is tasked with hunting down the most dangerous archdemons to bring the world back into balance. To accomplish the mission, you’ll need to master fast-paced combos and survive bullet hell attacks, with a bit of platforming in the mix. I got a chance to check outlaunches you right into the action. As you journey forward, you’re tasked with defeating demons in fast-paced, combo-heavy battles. Each demon has its own style of attack, and you’ll need to master a variety of strategies and combos to fend them off. Most satisfying of all is the Parry mechanic, which lets you block enemy attacks with a satisfying ping sound effect. Doing so consistently will earn you a higher score in the intense battle sequences, while also helping Homura survive the fight. Certain enemies, particularly the powerful ones, also set forth bullet hell attacks that you’ll need to dodge. These area of effect barrages can’t be parried, adding another layer of challenge to the combat. For all the difficulty that comes with each battle, the overall flow of combat is surprisingly smooth. It’s satisfying to run through combos and parries while dodging enemy attacks, and the variety keeps things interesting. And as you progress through the game, you’ll unlock new skills and combos to add layers to what you can do in and out of battle. Outside of combat, the challenges aren’t through. The world you explore can feel a little bit empty at times, but it makes up for it by testing your. You’ll chase certain creatures across vanishing platforms and use Spirit Arts to fly high above the clouds. It’s been a while since I’ve tackled a truly tricky platformer, andso far, but I was curious to see what other players make of it. So, I took to Steam to check out the game’s reviews. Though releasing into a packed playing field meansstill has just around 400 reviews, those who have played the game so far are singing its praises. Just a few days after release,In particular, players are enjoying the fast-paced combat, especially for the fact that it really “requires you to engage with enemy mechanics.” Each foe really does feel unique and requires a different approach, which I can’t say for every action RPG. And those boss fights? They’re truly worth their salt for those looking for a spectacle fighter that brings the challenge., noting that the overall combos and moveset feel similar. It’s also garnered quite a few comparisons to the likes ofis a solid entry in the action RPG space. It offers around 10-15 hours of gameplay for the main story and is priced at $24.99New Hellboy Game Revealed
