We’ve just launched Path of Exile: Scourge which contains everything a classic ARPG represents: terrifying demons, imminent danger, cool items, and powerful ways to build your characters. As you arrive in Wraeclast, a hooded figure appears from seemingly nowhere, terrified and asking for your help. You are encouraged to embed a rusty-looking device in your body known as the Blood Crucible. When you slay enemies, the Crucible fills with their Blood. When a threshold is met, you can activate the Blood Crucible which will temporarily thrust you into a parallel reality where some form of apocalyptic event is taking place.  Corruption permeates this reality, harming you if you linger too long. Place items in the Blood Crucible to harness this corruption. Once you’ve absorbed enough corruption, you can transform your items to receive powerful upgrades. But be warned, corruption will unpredictably give your items one upside and one downside. Don’t worry though, you can put them back...

We started developing Amazing Breaker back in 2010. The idea of the game arose from one of our artists’ test tasks. We really liked how the ice figures looked, with all the finest details and cracks on them and immediately jumped into action. We agreed that we wanted procedural destruction, many beautiful ice sculptures, destruction methods and a lot of explosions. So we put together everything that was important for us — the esthetic, the fun and excitement you get when you destroy the figures, the cracks, the shards, the sparkles — because ice is amazing! A team of five people had worked on the game for about a year. We tried to make the game as beautiful and unique as possible, carefully created each level, drawing the smallest details on each ice sculpture. The sculptures look stunning on the screen, sparkling like crystals, beautifully destroyed by various bombs. The gameplay focuses on complete destruction of ice sculptures by aiming bombs at them. It takes a lot of strateg...
