IndieCade2017 was held the same week as Blade Runner 2049, and oddly enough, it was also crammed with not-so-utopian sci-fi worlds. Most are funny and use interesting tech, like Virtual Virtual Reality, but some are more traditional with a twist, like OneShot. In honor of both, here’s a look…

Inspired by beloved titles like Harvest Moon, Bastion, Zelda, and the Elder Scrolls series, a handful of AAA industry vets founded Prideful Sloth Studios in 2015. They created this new studio for “the sole purpose of making beautiful worlds for you to explore, traverse and…
I’m a sucker for a good adventure game. No matter the subject matter, I’ll at least give it a shot. The sequel to the first Bertram Fiddle game, A Bleaker Predicklement, is both entertaining and punny. It’s certainly worth a look if you’re into period comedy…
Being an even moderately well-known game developer can be a double-edged sword in crowdfunding. On the one hand, it’s always reassuring to have someone who knows what they are doing at the helm of a project. Backers love getting behind a name they trust. On…
Roughly one month out from the release of his popular prison break sim sequel, we reached out to Chris Davis of Mouldy Toof Studios to recap his success with The Escapists. Davis has come a long way from being a one-man development team crowdfunding his…
I enjoy a good casual experience from time to time, this includes the occasional match 3 game. However, to really capture my attention it needs to have something I don’t normally see in the genre. Enter Rescue Quest Gold. This is a match 3 title…
Sometimes even a good looking campaign can fly under the radar. Once you’ve seen a few hundred RPGs with turn-based combat, even something distinctive like hand-drawn art isn’t enough to catch your eye. It’s only after taking the time to really suss out the Kickstarter…
Strategic gameplay doesn’t have to mean slow. Most naval combat games take a turn-based, tactical approach to combat. Developer Gunpowder Games wanted to do things a little differently. The result is the fast-paced, ship to ship combat of their latest Kickstarter project, Maelstrom. The developers…
Yooka-Laylee is still the worst game of 2017 by quite a stretch, even after its recent (depending on your platform of choice) “Green & Purple” update. I just wanted to get that out of the way now to underscore just how bad the game is,…
The visual novel has long languished in the world of Otacon’s Japanese animes. The best the genre has to offer, the worst, and the most mediocre are dominated by one archetype – anime. For over a decade, the name of the genre conjures the same…
I’m a fan of real time strategy games. However, most titles in this genre are the same thing. You have a base, you grow it out with other buildings and pump out cannon fodder like crazy. In single player campaigns it’s all about the Zerg…
Gamers who want a more animated turn-based tactical RPG may find just what they’re looking for with this week’s pick. The Iron Oath from Curious Panda promises a gritty and dynamic world for players to traverse with a diverse party of recruitable characters. Think of it…
I enjoy reading almost every piece of information released on projects I’ve backed on Kickstarter. However, sometimes an update comes along that has less than good news. Unfortunately, the latest update for Project Resurgence is nothing but bad news. I’ll get into the details below, but…
I’m a fan of Greek mythology. I enjoy reading, watching, or playing pretty much anything in the genre. So, when I was asked to take a look at Tauronos I happily agreed to. This is a game where I can’t really pinpoint a specific gaming…
Fallen London is quite possibly the greatest browser game ever made. It’s hard to say for sure since our scientific panel is tired after concluding that Fallout: New Vegas is the greatest game ever made. But even the best browser games have their limitations, and…
Developer, Studio Fawn has been battling the odds to create their fantasy adventure RPG, Bloom: Memories since 2012. Dani Landers launched the first Kickstarter for Bloom when the project was little more than an idea set against concept art. Over time, this idea has grown and…
