Journey across the gorgeous world of Umbra, and help rescue Amon's uncle from the grips of an ancient cult. Be aware, however, as the story's going to get more complex. What may seem like a simple rescue mission will expand into something much more deadly, and it's up to you and your band of heroes to stop the past from repeating itself.

Originally released on Steam in 2016, Earthlock: Festival of Magic is a stunning 3D fantasy RPG which offers up a good dose of complexity and challenging gameplay. JRPG-lovers should apparently feel right at home here.

So far the release is only scheduled for Japan this winter for ¥ 3,240 (about £22/$29). However, it's highly likely that the game will launch elsewhere at around the same time, so we'll keep you posted.
