Oldschool RPG "The Quest" Has Transitioned From iOS To Steam

The Quest is an oldschool open world RPG in the vein of Daggerfall that features some rather lovely hand-drawn graphics, a turn based combat system and a grid-based world to explore. Back when it was first announced I was quite excited to try it, given that these sort of games defined my childhood, but unfortunately it was only for iOS.
However, it would appear it has recently sneaked on to Steam. I used sneak there because despite being someone that pays attention to indie RPG releases I somehow completely missed it and would've lived in an unfortunate state of ignorance if not for today's PC Gamer article.

[Update]: It took many years, but Lords of the Fallen is getting an ambitious sequel in 2023!
"You Should Try" is a series of articles where I'll showcase you a game I really enjoy while explaining what exactly makes it fun. This can be any game, new or old, indie or AAA, the only requirement is that it has to be something I've found myself greatly enjoying and in need of sharing with the world.
Today, I think you should try Lords of the Fallen, a Dark Souls inspired action RPG that brings with it a unique but familiar take on the standard Souls formula.

To say that Final Fantasy XV had been in development for a long, long time would be one hell of an understatement. It was first announced as in development all the way back in 2006 but due to various issues constantly kept being either reworked or delayed.
So I hope you understand now how big the recent announcement that Final Fantasy XV will definitely be coming in 2016 really is. Here's the full announcement message from FFXV's director:

- By Ash
- in News
Brutal Doom, besides what you might gleam from the name alone, is an extremely comprehensive Doom mod expanding on everything from enemy AI to the weapons you use and even the graphics themselves. In other words, its a damn good mod for an already classic FPS, and it just got better.
The recent Brutal Doom patch v20b, also known as Hell on Earth, brings with it destructible bodies, improvements to the gib physics, better performance, a new melee system and most importantly a 32 map long campaign.

I wasn't aware that the Touch controllers even had a release date set for them given that every bit of communication from the Oculus team was about the Rift and the upcoming preorders.
So its unsurprising to hear that the Touch controllers are being delayed until the second half of 2016 with the preorders opening a couple of months before launch.
