You have enough of the cheery atmosphere of Stardew Valley? You'd like to imagine that for once, you would play a bad guy doing terrible stuff instead of being your little goody two-shoes?
Then, look no further and give a try to Graveyard Keeper, in which you'll carve into warm corpses and feed their rosy ass-cheeks to innocent villagers, before digging graves and throwing extra corpses in the nearby river. A nice program, isn't it? Say thanks to Lazy Bear Games, a great young developer which already gave us Punch Club a few years ago! (nice but grindy "fighting/management" game!)
The Messenger has started showing itself in the past few months. We already saw some very promising gameplay videos during the E3 2018, but the developers unveiled a bit more recently and it's starting to look like what could be one of the best indie games of this autumn.
Developed by Sabotage Studio and edited by Devolver Digital, this pixel art ninja platformer lets you dive into a nostalgic past reminiscent of the great old days of the Nes, AND the Super Nes, since the game lets you "switch" in-game smoothly between 8-bit and 16-bit style!
The Messenger should be available on 30th August 2018 on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
Already perfectly playable and immensely satisfying since more than a year, Dead Cells is now officially released and, no surprises, it's as incredible as we knew it would be.
Get ready to jump, doublejump, run, climb, dodge, roll, slash, dash, duck, evade, air-roll, and parry in what might be the best mix of roguelite and metroidvania game you've ever seen.
There's an old Irish saying: "There's many a good tune played on an old fiddle", and it fits well Chasm, an old-school Metroidvania which has been in development during around 6 years, since 2012.
"Bit Kid, Inc.", the developer, doesn't promise us innovative gameplay mechanics, but a very well-made addictive platformer/adventure with a nice twist: randomized maps!
Since the timeless Maniac Mansion and Day of the Tentacle, many point-and-click fans have waited for a third game, with the same tongue-in-cheek and witty humor.Unfortunately, LucasArts had surprisingly abandoned this franchise and we had to wait during two decades to get only a mildly satisfying HD remaster, released in 2016.
God bless independent German developers, as the studio "Catmic" brings us its own unofficial adventure, very well done in the Unity engine!
