AUTOMATON's 102nd weekly roundup collects seven game introduction pieces. The picks include Seikyu: Let's Go!, a four-player co-op camping car game from the Seikyu Monogatari developer; Monster Hunter Outlanders, a smartphone title supervised by Capcom with a release set for October 29; All Rats on Deck, a rafting co-op game for up to four players; Iconology from Idea Factory's new brand IFChronicle; AION 2, the free-to-play MMORPG; and Neighbors: Suburban Warfare.
The column runs weekly and this is the 102nd installment, with the stated focus on game introduction pieces that drew strong responses.
Two entries in the set carry release timing: Monster Hunter Outlanders arrives October 29, and AION 2's official release is October 5, with Founders Pack early access running since September 30. The rest are announcements.
The newer titles pair unusual premises with familiar structures: co-op camping car travel, co-op junk-boat rafting, and a crime suspense ADV where suspects' minds are extracted as paintings.
