The expansion will allow you to take on the role of Hel, one of the boss characters from the original Ghostrunner, as she descends the Dharma Tower to embark on a journey of her own.
Welcome to GTOGG’s December 2021 edition of Promising Indie Game Releases, where we highlight indie and non-mainstream titles that we believe deserve your attention – in other words, “look at all this potentially cool stuff you might’ve missed otherwise”. That would’ve been too long for a title, though.
Visually inspired by Central and South American landscapes, the game has you step into the role of young Itorah as she explores a world where mankind has seemingly vanished – save for her.
A game chronicling the story of a determined kung fu warrior on a journey to avenge the death of his family, Sifu makes kung fu an integral part of its themes; mastery comes through practice and endless self-improvement, it tells us, and the gameplay reflects this as well.
Featuring stylish, anime-inspired visuals in black and white, Wolfstride tells the tale of Dominique Shade, an exiled former yakuza who, upon inheriting an old mecha by the name of Cowboy, decides to join his old partners in crime to enter the Ultimate Golden God Tournament.
Bright Memory is a name that may ring a few bells in your mind – you might’ve even played it. But then how come it’s only just now coming out? ? Well, allow me to untangle the mystery real quick: you see, there was Bright Memory, a fast-paced and graphically impressive FPS developed by a single person. It released a couple of years back, and is now back with a bigger, better, and longer version.
For those who grew up with games like Desperados or the Commandos franchise, War Mongrels requires no introduction. At its core, it’s essentially a stealth game with splashes of action here and there; you control a small team of freedom fighters from a top-down perspective, and use their unique abilities to strike back against the Nazi regime.
I’m of the belief that a strong beginning is not necessarily a sure-fire recipe for success, and an idea that sounds great on paper doesn’t always translate into a fantastic interactive experience. I say this primarily because I’m here today to talk about a game called Industria...
Appearances can be deceiving, and I believe we have all been in a situation where a game looked amazing on screenshots and even the trailer seemed convincing enough… and then we actually played the thing. That’s when the mask falls off.
Nostalgia is a powerful thing, and games that evoke the spirit of much-revered classics are often met with unfettered optimism – and so it happened that I took one quick look at Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness, a game heavily inspired by CRPG darling (and personal favorite) Baldur’s Gate, and decided I would have to try it.
