Back on March 22, developer TouchFoo released a side-scrolling platformer RPG by the name of Swordigo for the iPhone and iPad. Me, I just heard about it yesterday, so here I am sharing the news. Swordigo’s feature list is sort of generic, and the website says absolutely nothing about the game’s plot, so I’ll simply […]

Chain of Retribution is a free jRPG created in RPG Maker. More interestingly, however, it’s also a “chain game.” This means that it was created via the game design equivalent of Exquisite Corpse. To wit: one designer worked on it, then passed it to another, who then worked on it and passed it on, and […]

There’s a new interview with Steven Peeler up at the Random Tower of Games blog, in which they discuss Soldak Entertainment’s upcoming action RPG Drox Operative. 4. Compared to your last game, Din’s Curse, what kind of new features players could find? The biggest new feature is basically all of the diplomacy with the races […]

The Age of Decadence, a wRPG long in-the-making by Iron Tower Studio, has an updated demo as of a few days ago. I won’t list all of the changes they made, but you can rest assured that there are a lot of them. Age of Decadence has had a combat demo out for quite some […]

I love a good tabletop war game, and I love Collectible Card games. Sadly, this love can never be due to the difficulties and constraints of living on a physical plane of existence.

The premise: Travel by Princess Loren’s side as she searches for her lost mother, the Queen of the Amazons. Guide her choices and act as her valiant defender, meeting many colorful characters […]

It’s that special time again, folks! Jay Barnson has graced us with another indie news round-up, this one mentioning a veritable avalanche of games. Those games mentioned are: Age of Decadence Avernum: Escape from the Pit Aveyond 4  (no page exists for this game just yet) The Banner Saga Boot Hill Heroes Call of Cthulhu: […]

Red Wasp Design has announced that Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land (previously out for iPhone and iPad) is now out for PC. (And two days ahead of schedule, no less!) The devs have generously provided us a trailer so we can see the turn-based WW1-era horror tactics unfold: CoC:TWL is a very reasonable $4.99 […]

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 […]
