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. Boot Hill Heroes features support for 4-player cooperative play (one player controlling each of the four players […]

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 […]

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. Will you fight using brawn or brains? Will you keep your humanity intact or become a bloodthirsty zombie hunter? Can you stay […]

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 […]

Andy Sum writes in with word that his company Jigxor is working on a turn-based, multiplayer co-op dungeon crawler by the name of Dungeon Dashers (not to be confused with its free, single-player predecessor Dungeon Dash). The feature list includes: Up to four-players playing together as a team over the internet Hand-made dungeons (not procedurally […]

Word has it that there’s a first-person RPG on the horizon with a “literally infinite” game world. It goes by the name Malevolence: The Sword of Ahkranox (which sounds to me like Stan Marsh’s older sister trying to say “equinox”). Interestingly, it seems Malevolence features turn-based, grid-based movement a la the early Might and Magic […]
