Wallet threat level red for the sheer breadth of releases this week! No matter what kind of videogames you like, your wallet might be in trouble. If you and three of your friends are Left 4 Dead fans, John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando could be a quadruple wallet threat.

Fans of the shmups and specifically the R-Types get a remake of R-Type Tactics 1 and 2 on all modern systems this week. If you’re a fan of prequels, Greedfall: The Dying World precedes its namesake. And if you’re a fan of city builders, get ready to sink your oversized incisors in the beaver-themed city-builder Timberborn, which promises one dam thing after another.

If you’re a Minesweeper fan, Dungeon Sweeper upgrades the grid clicking with an autobattler. If you’re a Dungeons & Dragons fan, the early access release of Solasta II will let you roll virtual d20s to your hearts’ content. If you’re a Japanese action RPG fan without a console, pining for the days of 2014 mobile games, the PC port of Granblue Fantasy aims to serve all your JARPG hack, slash, and loot needs. If you’re a parkour fan without a PC, the console ports of Parkour Labs brings fancy legwork to couch potatoes. If you’re a fan of old-school space sims, maybe Stellar Wanderer DX will be your ticket to the stars. And if you’re a fan of the bubonic plague in Medeval Europe, firstly, what is wrong with you?
