While the Roguelike genre may have taken off with games such as Dead Cells or Enter the Gungeon, a newer and mildly more balanced genre is the Roguelite, basically, just a game where you can get upgrades and consistently make your character stronger while still delving into new and random levels every time you play. …
Right at the top of this article, there is one thing I need to come clean about – I have an undying love and passion for Dead Cells and the world of Castlevania. While I may have been only a twinkle in my father’s eye when the original games were released, I have poured over …
Whilst I consider myself very happy-go-lucky when choosing video games, roguelites are one of my favorite genres. And within that, turn-based deck-builders are my favorite subgenre, so Iris and the Giant was right up my alley. I’ll admit, watching the trailer didn’t give me many ideas of what to expect, but I was soon able to …
If you’ve been around the gaming scene for a while, you’ve probably heard of a thing called “procedural generation.” it’s the type of randomization used to generate your Minecraft worlds, and studio Floppy Club has used this same kind of technology to make a game about music.

As someone who was born in the 1990s, the point-and-click era of gaming is something that was a big part of my introduction to gaming. Tim Schafer played a big role in my early gaming experiences through his titles, Day of the Tentacle and Grim Fandango, and who could forget the lasting impact that Escape …

I’ll come right out and say it. I’ve been a little bit cynical when it comes to Team 17 this year. Mostly because they seem like an indie publisher turned AA publisher who hasn’t quite found their niche yet. We’ve covered quite a few of the games they have produced this year, including Thymesia, The …
If you are someone that consumes indie games on the regular, then you will be all too familiar with the term ‘Roguelike.’ Ever since the breakout success of Hades, this game format has been reused and repurposed more than ever. We have seen some incredible uses in the form of Returnal, and equally, we have …
