Bullet dodging? Check. Pixelated blood? Check. Classic 90s VHS static? Check. Oh, let’s also add Devolver Digital to the list, since Strafe developers Pixel Titans have announced their collaboration with the benevolent indie purveyor a few days ago. (Seriously, these guys are getting busier each day.) It would certainly be…

Georgi was only a wee child when he discovered the wonders of blowing up bad guys in Unreal Tournament. Since then, he’s grown into a game maker, a connoisseur of weird indie offerings and a madman writing about said things on the internet. As it turns out, he’s also pretty good at making homemade pizza.

Nevermind is perhaps one of the most interesting horror games of 2015, at least in terms of how it intertwines technology and gameplay. Released last September, its shtick was integrating a heartbeat sensor in-game – a peculiar idea that actually worked quite well in dynamically adjusting…

At first, Posthuman: Sanctuary seems like just another narrative-driven game about life after the apocalypse. Foreseeable deaths, quickly tiring sacrifices, pesky travelers secretly stealing rations and moral dilemmas that require your sole approval to be resolved – you know the drill. Well, most of those might…

Creepy Road is one of those games that just brings back old memories of mindless run and gun classics involving nothing but reflex, skill and a ton of explosions. Contra, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe – those are probably the titles that spring to most…

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from The Flame in the Flood‘s trailers, it’s that things can always take a turn for the worse. This is certainly true for the game’s latest video which showcases a few essential rafting tips survivors must keep in mind during…

I like to describe A House of Many Doors as a game about procedural poetry and parasitic espionage. Or, if you want a more descriptive and less-quirky summary, I guess you’d have to settle with a 2D, narrative-heavy exploration RPG featuring branching storylines inspired by the likes…

As trivial as it may sound, games have a long way to go when it comes to truly achieving narrative freedom. But for all the unexplored nooks and crannies of “meaningful” gameplay there are those few shining (mostly indie) attempts at taking it all one step further….

Wouldn’t it be fun to embody the very evil essence of a cheesy villain, just for one day? You know, the classic type that knows of nothing but sinister plots and mischievous schemes involving only the most intricate plans of destruction imaginable. What if I told…

It’s really been a slow year filled with radio silence for Peter Molyneux and his team of 22cans. After a disastrous Godus launch on Early Access riddled with negative reviews on Steam and a controversial interview forcing the veteran designer to seize all communication with press…

It entered the crowdfunding realm on March 14, 2014. It covered its $75,000 goal in less than 24 hours. A year later, it was seen regularly on Twitch.tv’s top 10 streamed games despite only being in the infancy of its Early Access life cycle. No, this…

Ah, good old Ludum Dare. A place where all sorts of crazy wee prototypes pop-up. One of those you might remember, it goes by the name of Mable & The Wood. I’ll also tell you a secret – it’s getting its own Kickstarter very soon!…

From the makers of the original Thief and Deus Ex 2 comes Sword of Gary 6000. It’s a bit like Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out, but with aliens for added good measure. Apart from the fact that this sounds like the best elevator pitch ever, Sword of…

The days of old-school AAA devs delving into the tempting land of Kickstarter for the first time might be behind us, but John Smedley (former CEO of Daybreak/Sony Online Entertainment) begs to differ. By the looks of it he also wants to reinvent sandbox RPGs…

It’s no secret that Stasis was a huge success on Kickstarter (while also being the game I am most sad about not playing during 2015). And with the 2D sci-fi horror adventure being out for about 5 months now it looks like the developers are…

Here we are, with yet another pixely, randomly-generated platformer popping up on Kickstarter. Sorry for sounding a bit tired, but you have to admit there have been a little bit too many of those as of late. However, I wouldn’t be covering this if it didn’t contain any…
