Bloodroots puts you into a visually Samurai Jack-like fictional wild western world where you play as Mr.Wolf, a rather burly man who returns from the…

Spotlight: Children of Morta on Nintendo Switch

Children of Morta is surely one of the best indie roguelite titles of 2019 @11bitstudios @DeadMageStudio

Children of Morta is a roguelite action-adventure game by 11 bit studios and Dead Mage where you play as several different characters of a family who serve as guardians to a now corrupted mountain.

Originally,  after being impressed at GDC 2019, I was going to play Children of Mortaon PC, but it turned out my old laptop was barely able to run it, so I decided to wait for the Nintendo Switch…

@PaperBugDev & @Dangen_Ent have something special in their hands with Bug Fables. We interviewed lead dev José Fernando Gracia to learn more about its development.

Bug Fables, a new RPG from Dangen Entertainment and Moonsprout Games, might look and feel very familiar to a series of games that had its most beloved entries on the Nintendo 64 and GameCube. It may only be available on PC at the moment, but it could be a big hit once it comes to consoles next year.  We got the chance to learn a little more about the development of this insect filled RPG by…

Review: Indivisible

While @IndivisibleRPG is a wonderful and well made game, it falls short in a few places and restricts itself from being the incomparable and amazing experience it could be.

Imagine a game where a young girl, a pirate captain, a super hero, an enemy soldier, and various others team up –both willingly, and unwillingly in some cases — to take down an evil entity threatening to destroy the world. Maybe this sounds familiar, but the twist is that all these party members reside in the young girls head once they join her. This is 505 Games’ and Lab Zero’s new platforming…
