This week: Stealth meets psychological horror, a shmup that's also a god game, and a point and click adventure with a retro '80s bent.
Stella Pastoris is"a fusion of god game and shmup" which takes its cues from the old SNES game ActRaiser. The games are very different—ActRaiser is a platformer with city-building elements—but they share an interest in blending two seemingly incompatible genres. In Terra Pastoris you need to protect a bunch of Malthusian monks on a marooned space station. You'll be fighting machine evangelists, while also managing the survival of"the ever growing ranks of faithful".
Look: everything about Stella Pastoris, ranging from its narrative setting through to its gorgeous 1-bit art style, is a bit confoundingly weird, which is exactly why I'm going to play it.Shaun Prescott is the Australian editor of PC Gamer.
