August 7 Releases: FPV Drones, Sengoku Strategy, and Couch Chaos
Acrodrift and Crownborne lead a varied Friday, with Expeditions: Samurai bringing party-based RPG depth
A genre-spanning Friday here. Acrodrift and Crownborne headline for PC players, while Expeditions: Samurai brings party-based RPG strategy to the mix, and a couple of action indies round things out. Here's what's out today.
Acrodrift: FPV Drone Simulator#
From Dueking Studio comes Acrodrift, a realistic FPV drone simulator described as built by pilots, for pilots. It runs on true-to-life physics across 6 maps, letting you race through gates or master freestyle flight. You can build your own drone from real components and tune PID and rates the way you would with actual gear.
Control options cover both a gamepad and your own radio controller, so if you already fly, you can bring your setup straight in. It's a Racing, Simulator, Sport, and Indie release, and it's PC only.
Crownborne#
LumenStudio's Crownborne is a fully English-voiced action-romance visual novel. You're pulled from the modern world into a kingdom at war, wielding an ancient power and romancing four heroines along the way. The branching structure runs deep: every choice reshapes alliances, fights, and which ending you land on.
If you want a VN with action framing and real narrative consequences, this one's on PC today.
Expeditions: Samurai#
Campfire Cabal takes the Expeditions formula to Sengoku-era Japan. You arrive aboard a battered Dutch ship and take command of its motley crew amid another civil war. The pitch leans on choice: navigate the era's politics through stealth, diplomacy, or violence in a party-based RPG where every decision matters.
This is a role-playing and strategy release on PC, and it's the most systems-heavy entry on today's slate.
Grizzy & the Lemmings: Crazy Party#
Balio Studio brings the animated series to consoles and PC with a festive, slapstick party game. Step into the paws of the Lemmings and stir up joyful mayhem around Grizzy, with your mission being to annoy him by any means necessary. It supports up to 4 players on the same couch and is easy to pick up.
It's out on Xbox Series, PC, PS5, and Switch, making it the widest platform launch of the day.
John Fox#
9Ratones's John Fox is a hack-and-slash beat 'em up with an action-revenge premise. John Fox is a retired elite warrior and mercenary whose beloved pet, Milo, has been killed, and the game sends you out to avenge him. It's available on PC and Switch.
A solid spread across sim, VN, RPG, party, and beat 'em up. Which one's grabbing your attention today? Drop your pick in the comments and let the community know.
