Imagine a three-hour spree of gaming trailers firing from all genres, eras, and styles, all part of an event not officially listed on the Summer Game Fest but integral to the larger, more flexible “Junio Jugón” celebration. This was the scene at Guerrilla Collective 2024, orchestrated by The Mix—a collective of developers and enthusiasts dedicated to connecting studios with the press and public. If you’re looking to beef up your Steam wishlist, here are five standout games from the event you should know about.
Rediscover a Classic with Tomba! Special Edition
For fans of retro gaming, “Tomba! Special Edition” marks a thrilling return. Known as “Tombi” in Europe, this PSX classic has been reissued by Limited Run. While the graphical updates are minimal, the game features enhanced sound quality, several quality-of-life improvements to streamline gameplay, and a plethora of additional material like high-resolution artwork and vintage advertisements. There are also design documents from the original development by Whoopee Camp, plus a new exclusive video interview with Tokuro Fujiwara, the game’s creator. This release provides a deep dive into one of the most influential figures in Capcom’s history and a chance to experience one of his most personal projects.
Survival Horror in Decaying Britain: Hollowbody
Set against the backdrop of a decayed British city, “Hollowbody” is a survival horror game that has sparked discussions, especially when compared to the controversial “Silent Hill 2” remake. This game promises fixed and dynamic camera angles reminiscent of early 2000s horror games, challenging puzzles, limited resource management, and deliberately constrained combat to heighten the tension. The game’s setting—a stark contrast between an abandoned town and a futuristic metropolis—adds an intriguing layer to the atmosphere. For those eager to try it out, a demo is currently available on Steam.
Ascend with Care in Egging On
“Egging On” offers a unique climbing experience where you control an egg ascending intricate structures. This game combines the perilous ascent of “Getting Over It” with the tension of “Jump King,” where any mistake could send you tumbling to the bottom. The game places a strong emphasis on the egg’s physics, shape, and the fragility of its shell, adding a layer of strategy to avoid breaking and spilling. Currently, there’s no set release date for “Egging On,” but it remains a highly anticipated title.
Explore Mental Realms in Constance
At first glance, “Constance” might remind you of “Hollow Knight,” but the game distinguishes itself with more fluid and agile movements. Set in a colorful yet decaying “inner world” shaped by the protagonist’s deteriorating mental health, the game blends intricate platforming akin to “Celeste” with its own unique aesthetic and gameplay style. The visuals alone are captivating, and the game promises to carve out its own identity in a genre full of strong contenders.
A Dark Quest in Labyrinth Of The Demon King
In “Labyrinth Of The Demon King,” players enter a deeply unsettling realm, following the footsteps of classic titles like “King’s Field.” The game is set in a society crumbling under cosmic law, ravaged by war and disease, allowing demons to roam freely. Your mission is to navigate the horrifying labyrinth and seek vengeance against the Demon King who betrayed and killed your lord. The game’s trailer, hailed as one of the best shown at the event, paints a chilling picture of the adventure that awaits. Unfortunately, a release date has yet to be announced.
From June 7 to 12, 2024, a series of events and presentations will unveil what the future holds for gaming—in the coming year and beyond. In the absence of E3, “Junio Jugón” stands out as a pivotal celebration of video games. Click here to explore all the content we’ll be publishing about this grand gaming fest.
