Aldorlea Games writes in to announce the release of Alpha Kimori Episode 2, the second in a trio of episodic jRPGs developed by Sherman 3D. Sherman 3D describes the Alpha Kimori series as cute, bright, and colorful Japanese Anime inspired episodic casual 2D Role Playing Games, which feature an intricate action-adventure epic story with a […]

Robert Gąsiorowski of Desert Fox Software writes in to announce the release of Srututu: Forgotten Foe, an odd sort of board game / RPG mix. (It actually came out on November 28, 2012, but I only just heard about it, so New Release it is!) Here is how the developer describes it: Srututu-Forgotten Foe is […]

Pascal Bestebroer of Orange Pixel writes in to tell me about Heroes of Loot, an “action roguelike” he’s been working on. According to Pascal, he’s taken the parts of roguelikes that he likes and made something of a lightweight action RPG out of them: I took the random level generation, the leveling and the different […]

Dani Landers of Studio Fawn writes in to announce Bloom: Memories, a new Zelda-alike starring “a broken robot” and his mechanical mother. The game’s general theme centers around the relationship between these two robots. The wider context, though, is one of disaster: the reawakening of the clockwork war drones of a civilization long past. For […]

Mobile fantasy strategy title Battle Dungeon: Risen (previously covered here) was released on Friday by developer Hunted Cow Studios. Battle Dungeon consists of 12 different scenarios, each with its own story, so there really isn’t any single overarching premise to discuss beyond “hire soldiers and fight bad guys.” It’s a 3D turn-based fantasy tactics game, […]

Ben McGraw (a.k.a. “Ben Grue”) writes in to announce Sully: A Very Serious RPG, a jRPG in development by Breadbros Games. The premise is decidedly on the light-hearted side: Sully: A Very Serious RPG is the 80’s summer romcom of RPGs.  I’m not saying I have John Cusack in my game, but if John Cusack […]

You may recall my post last year about the release of Muteki Corporation‘s Dragon Fantasy, a jRPG with a distinctly FF4-ish look about it, broken up episodically into chapters. Recently, I’ve seen mention of both Dragon Fantasy Book II and Dragon Fantasy 2. “Which is it,” I asked myself, “a new episode or a full-fledged […]

It’s a slow news day today; you know what that means! It’s time for another edition of Back to Back, where we look at indie RPGs currently up for funding on Kickstarter. (Besides, it’s been a few weeks since we ran one of these.) From our last list, Cryamore, Terra Incognita and Delver’s Drop succeeded […]

Clayton Lilly of Gamaray Ltd. writes in to tell me about Realms of Fortune, an Elder Scrolls-style open world action RPG released back in 2011. Not technically a new release, then, but it’s new to me! The premise: Realms of Fortune is a first person open world RPG set in an era similar to our own […]

Phillip Meyer of indie studio Lecker Klecker writes in to announce King Voxel, a Zelda-alike where the world and quests are procedurally generated and the graphics consist entirely of cel-shaded (what else?) voxels. The premise: Lord Hellion has conqured and transformed the kingdom of Voxelot and kidnapped the queen.  You must gather 8 orbs to […]
