When most people think of Indie Games, they don’t expect an extremely difficult game that tosses close-quarters combat, and a major focus on dodging and blocking attacks from super strong enemies. But that’s exactly what Hyper Light Drifter by Developer , Heart Machine is , a crazy hard 2D action role-playing game. The Games opening cut scene, shows Hyper Light Drifter’s protagonist surviving an apocalyptic attack, anything else about the game is really up to your own interpretation and imagination,…

When I first saw Axiom Verge, I just thought it was a Metroid clone. The game didn’t impress me at all. I wasn’t excited about the game coming to Wii U either. Why do we need Axiom Verge when we have Super Metroid? Recently though, I saw another trailer of the game and thought it looked good. Maybe I was wrong about Axiom Verge. Of course, none of knew when the game was coming out for Wii U, so there…

During E3, I played a demo of Lightwood Game’s next word game: Word Logic by POWGI. I liked the demo a lot. It was a hard game, but it was also a very good one.

I previewed the game during E3 and…

Recently, I received a review code of a Wii U game called 3Souls Episode 1: Nelesa from the game’s developer Red Column. My review isn’t ready yet, but I thought since the game came out today that a preview was in order. What do I think of 3Souls so far? Here are my early thoughts! I’m always complaining when indie developers don’t use the Wii U gamepad much. I love Off-TV play, but there’s so much more that you can…

I love strategy rpgs. One of my favorites in recent years was the download only Mercenaries Saga 2 for 3DS. That game was published by Circle Entertainment. And the publisher has another strategy rpg on the way soon! This time, the game is all about slimes and their ambition! The game will be coming next month. Ambition of the Slimes, an upcoming 3DS eshop game, will be coming on August 11th. The game is a strategy rpg from publisher Circle…

I’ve never played FAST Racing NEO. I like F-Zero a bunch and I thought the previews looked good for the Neo, but I just haven’t got around to playing the game yet. So, the upcoming disc version of the game might be for me! In any case, its pretty exciting that the game is coming to Wii U retail stores later this year. We have some details below. Shin’en Multimedia announced today that their racing game FAST Racing NEO would…

I’m a huge fan of Image & Form’s Steamworld Dig and Steamworld Heist games. Both games are a lot of fun. That said, I’ve only played them both on the 3DS. I never did play them on the Wii U, where the graphics are in HD. I’m sure there are some people who haven’t gotten to play these games at all. If you were waiting for a retail copy of these two games, then you’re in luck! Image & Form…

Late last week, I received a review code for Tumblestone for the Wii U. I’ve been playing it a lot ever since and really enjoying it. The game came out today for the Wii U. My review isn’t ready yet, but I’m hoping to have it up later this week or early next week. In the meantime, I thought I’d give you a preview of Tumblestone and tell you why you shouldn’t pass it by. Its very rare that we…
