Nowadays, it seems that one in two indie games is a Rogue-lite with the other one being a Metroidvania. Sparklite falls into the first category and I just love it. I love everything about it, from the excellent rogue-lite nature to the beautiful art style and animations, everything is right up my alley. In rogue-lites,…
Door Kickers: Action Squad is a crazy old school 2D side scroller action game and I am enamored with it. The simple, fast and really satisfying gameplay makes it one of the best indie games I’ve played this year. Playing as a SWAT trooper, you choose your gear and loadout, kick the doors down and…
Children of Morta is a really unique game. It masterfully combines randomly generated levels with an intriguing set narrative, something which we don’t really see in rogue-lite games. Corruption has spread out and is affecting everything in the world and it is up to the game protagonists, the Bergsons, to venture into the dungeons and…
I am a sucker for good puzzle games and The Sojourn, a first-person puzzler, perfectly fits into that category. We have gotten some really good indie puzzle games lately and I have been fortunate to play most of the good ones. The puzzles in The Sojourn are exquisite and you quickly understand that they were…
I am really fond of Spiders’ work in the past. I enjoyed Mars: War Logs and really loved The Technomancer, reviews of both can be found on the site, and I was really excited about GreedFall. After playing it, I can say that the game is quite good with a few caveats. Do not expect…
Yeah, I don’t really like this game. Don’t get me wrong, I get what the devs went for, but the whole execution is just not there. Exception is a side-scroller platformer where the main shtick is that the levels or parts of it twist, turn and rotate in nearly all directions. That sounds cool, right?…
Etherborn is an intriguing puzzle game. It kinda messes up with the way you are used to play a 3D puzzle game as its main mechanic is playing playing with gravity. Now unlike other games where you can control gravity directly by pressing a button or something like that, the gravity defying mechanic in Etherborn…
I played Zombotron on my Mac and I loved every second of it. I loved the beautiful art style and animations, I loved the gameplay and action and most importantly I loved the jankiness of it all. Zombotron is a side-scrolling physics-based action game. Now, when you have the “physics-based” words in your description, you…
I appreciate this game, I don’t love it, but I am really glad it exists. Everyone is comparing this game to Left 4 Dead due to how the game plays and feels, but I, having never played L4D, will not do that since well, I can’t. World War Z is an enjoyable and satisfying game…
