There is something about a good roguelite that makes me lose track of time. You tell yourself you are going to play one run before bed, then 40 minutes later you are staring at the screen thinking, “Okay, one more.” 33 Days till Extraction looks dangerously close to becoming exactly that kind of game. Developed…
If you have been watching the indie scene lately, Wanderburg is one of those games that is almost impossible to forget after seeing it in action. The idea alone sounds ridiculous in the best possible way: enormous castles mounted on wheels, roaming across a strange minimalist world, smashing through structures, hunting enemies, and gradually turning…
There are some games that I remember for what they were, and then there are games I remember for where I was when I played them. The original Zenonia belongs firmly in the second category. Long before mobile RPGs became synonymous with energy systems, aggressive monetization, autoplay and endless gacha banners, Zenonia felt like a…
Crimson Moon is shaping up to be one of those games that immediately makes you want to clear your schedule. ProbablyMonsters is mixing brutal Soulslike combat, dark Gothic fantasy, loot-driven progression, and a striking High Renaissance setting into an action RPG that looks far more ambitious than its price tag suggests. With a planned September…
If you have spent any serious time with the A Plague Tale games, you already know that this is not a franchise built around hardware-friendly visuals. Asobo Studio has always pushed atmosphere, lighting, character detail, environments, particle effects, and cinematic presentation hard enough to make these games feel closer to interactive prestige dramas than traditional…
If you have been following Patrice Désilets for years, the return of 1666: Amsterdam feels almost unreal. This is one of those game projects that seemed destined to remain trapped in development limbo forever. It survived studio closures, legal disputes, a long period of silence, and a frankly ridiculous amount of uncertainty before finally stepping…
If there is one thing indie games consistently prove, it is that you do not need a gigantic budget to create absolute multiplayer chaos. Water You Doing? from DiSolve Studios is a perfect example. The game takes a ridiculous premise, throws several friends onto a battered boat, adds unforgiving physics, survival mechanics, dangerous waters, and…
There are games that feel like they were practically designed for a handheld console, and Yet Another Zombie Survivors is one of them. You start a run, build an absurdly powerful squad, watch the screen turn into a wall of bullets and undead bodies, and tell yourself you will stop after one more attempt. Then…
Magic Design Studios has another strange little world brewing, and this one looks like it could become a serious obsession for anyone who loves exploration, base building, and games that somehow make terrifying creatures feel oddly charming. NAUTUS: Echoes from Below is the studio’s upcoming underwater adventure, and after the success of Have a Nice…
If you have been following upcoming indie games, Nautus is one of those projects that can sneak up on you and suddenly become impossible to ignore. Magic Design Studios, the team behind Have a Nice Death, is taking a very different swing this time: instead of throwing players into a stylish roguelike nightmare, the studio…
