Temple of Yog is launching on December 16 in North America, CHUDCHUD Industries announced today. Pricing is set at $5.99.

The European release won’t be happening on the same day, though it won’t be too far behind. It’s slated for January 7 in the region (plus Australia).

Here’s an overview of Temple of Yog:

“Recently featured as an Official Selection at the IndieCade Festival for it’s innovative use of the Wii U GamePad, CHUDCHUD Industries’ TEMPLE OF YOG is the game of human sacrifice. Players select sacrificial tributes from a primitive village and send them into an ancient temple. These tributes fight and conquer their way through procedural dungeons for glory, their inevitable death rewarding the village with prestige and progress. Tributes shift between the realms of Light and Shadow on the TV and the Wii U GamePad. A second display mode allows players to use the GamePad as a crystal ball into the other realm, leaving the tribute on the primary screen at all times. Along the way, a tribute’s sacrifice increases in rank, going from “Weak” and “Meager” all the way to “Worthy”. Defeating the guardian of each realm, along with providing a worthy sacrifice, will advance the village from a primitive culture all the way to a futuristic acropolis.”

Temple of Yog’s initial launch will contain the first in a series of content releases, broken up into “epochs”. While future content updates will be provided free to all users, the base price of the game will rise.

Here’s a breakdown of the upcoming price increases:

The First Epoch: $5.99 USD
– Age of the Wilderness

The Second Epoch: $6.99 USD
– Age of the Plow
– Age of the Fist
– PvP Online Multiplayer

The Third Epoch: $7.99 USD
– Age of the Atom
– Age of the Zealot

The Final Epoch: $9.99 USD
– Age of Ascension

CHUDCHUD Industries says that this approach to pricing “incentives early adoption, with content and features added through free updates along the way.” As for current features, those include:

– Transcend the veil between the realms of light and shadow! Gameplay shifts between the TV and the Wii U GamePad as you guide tributes through two linked worlds on separate screens
– Choose your tribute! Multiple classes with unique skills and play styles
– Procedurally generated dungeons! The Temple depths twist and reshape themselves with each new sacrifice
– GREAT BOONS! Progress your primitive village to an advanced civilization
– MINOR BOONS! Upgrade your tributes’ stats and skills and unlock new features
– Brutal boss battles, dangerous encounters, and perplexing puzzles around every corner
– Original chiptunes by Dr. Zilog

The Second Epoch for Temple of Yog is due out next spring. It’ll feature two new dungeon realms and online PvP multiplayer.

Nintendo will heavily discount some of its titles on the European eShop between November 27th and November 30th. Several 3DS and Wii U games will get a discount of up to 40%. The exact titles have not yet been announced.

Last year around the same time Nintendo held a Smash Bros-themed sale where several high-profile first party games whose characters were represented in Smash Bros were discounted, so I would expect similar deals this year as well. We will keep you updated once more details become available.

Typoman is a game built around words. Its puzzles are words, its platforms are words, and even its enemies are word. Yet, throughout the experience, there are three words that will stand out above the rest: creative, but disappointing.

13AM Games is hard at work on another update for Runbow. This one will be adding some new online functionality and more.

When the patch goes live, Runbow will allow for 2-player matchmaking via the Internet. This is in hopes of addressing issues some gamers have encountered in finding others to play with online. New fixes have also been implemented, and there’s “something little” which will “give you a hint about what’s to come.”

Here’s the full rundown of the new update from 13AM Games:
