Planet Alpha is a fantastic example of the trade-off that small developers are forced to make. Most Indie Games can’t match big titles in every aspect, so have to prioritise. This is usually what makes them so unique. Sometimes though, you get a title like Planet…
Twilight is infamous for its depiction of an ancient vampire in the form of a teenage boy and a high school girl. Forever ruining the mystique of vampires, its depiction of the romance between protagonists Edward Cullen and Bella Swan is creepy at best, and…
Log Jammers is an upcoming arcade sports game from Mega Cat Studios that, if the name didn’t make it obvious, is another take on ultimate Frisbee. Players pick from a choice of avatars, all with slightly varying stats, then battle it out against either AI or a…

Death’s Gambit is, another souls-like metroidvania to hit the steam store. With the release of so many games bearing the tag souls-like, it’s time to take a look at what that means for indie gaming. You might see the taglines “metroidvania” and “souls-like” thrown around a…
While Shovel Knight joining Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as an assist trophy is a step forward for indie game involvement in the popular fighting series, people are likely to wonder if he’ll become a fully playable character at some point. But what about other indie…
Fox is currently adapting, or attempting to adapt, Life if Strange for television. This is a bizarre and pointless development. Life is Strange has spawned an ever growing circle of works since its initial popularity, but they are of varying quality. Between the sequel, prequel, and…
EGX 2018, Britain’s biggest gaming event, is around a month away now. While big titles will dominate most of the show floor, there are many upcoming indie titles that will be playable. Often without the huge lines. Here are some you shouldn’t miss over the…
Video games often get accused of desensitising players by bombarding them with a constant stream of violence and death. It doesn’t take a genius to work out that while we are indeed subjected to this, it’s unlikely to impact how you deal with these things…
