You may recall Cohorts of Kargonar, a game announced only one month ago after four long years in development. As of right now, you can officially go ahead and start playing it for the low low price of absolutelynothing. (Which is to say, it’s free.) Cohorts of Kargonar is a browser-based MMORPG, so all you’ll […]

Aterdux Entertainment, an indie development studio based in Belarus, announced a new game last week by the name of Legends of Eisenwald. They describe it as a spiritual successor to the original King’s Bounty (and much more direct successor to their earlier title Discord Times). LoE features “an original mix of RPG and strategy, with […]

Geoffrey White of Steamtank Entertainment writes in to announce To Be a Hero, an iPhone RPG that evidently draws some influence from the Ultima series. The plot: The land of Illustria is in peril!  Monsters have began roaming about, the dead are rising from their graves, and worst of all, a string of suspicious murders […]

Stygian Software has announced Underrail, an isometric wRPG with a post-apocalyptic sci-fi setting and turn-based combat. The premise: The game is set in a distant future, when the life on the Earth’s surface has long since been made impossible and the remnants of humanity now dwell in the Underrail, a vast system of metro station-states […]

So, I met Dave Welch and Ben Rubach of Experimental Gamer at Indie City Games this Saturday. During the “open mic” portion of the meeting, they showed off Boot Hill Heroes, a Wild West-themed jRPG modeled after Earthbound.

Patrick Casey of Peculiar Games writes in to let me know about a roguelike he created called Voyage to Farland. Casey describes Voyage as a “Mystery Dungeon” graphical roguelike inspired by Shiren the Wanderer. Technically, this was released all the way back in 2010, but hey–it’s new to me. VtF runs exclusively on Android phones […]

The indie RPG community hasn’t had a good community hub for quite some time, and I like the thought of having one here on IndieRPGs.com. Hence, the new forums. I intend these to serve as a place for us to respectfully discuss indie RPGs, and as a place for indie RPG developers to mingle with […]

Red Wasp Design released Call of Cthulu: The Wasted Land for iPhone and iPad on January 30, 2012. Now, they write in to announce an impending PC release on May 5. What is CoC:WL, you ask? I quote from the developers’ website: ‘Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land’ is a turn-based strategy/role-playing video game based on the […]

Prolific developer Choice of Games has released a new entry in the Choice Of series, this one (…sigh…) zombie-themed. In Choice of Zombies, you play an ordinary person caught in a zombie apocalypse.

Charlie Fleed has just announced Hartacon, a multiplayer isometric turn-based tactics game for XBox 360 Indie Games. It clearly draws a lot of inspiration from Disgaea in its visual style, though it appears to be pure 2D in its implementation. I quote now from the developer: Hartacon is a tactical multiplayer RPG game developed with […]
