Oh, hm. Another day has passed. I suppose I should post some more indie RPG news? Very well! Let’s do that. Word reaches me that Valkyria Games (not to be confused with Sega’s Chronicles of the same name) has come out with a new jRPG by the name Hunters Grimm. Suddenly, that image to the […]

We have reached a new milestone in indie RPGs. Up until last week, Jesus Christ had one role and one role only in jRPGs: to have his name muttered angrily under one’s breath after running into the 15th random battle in a row. No longer! As of October 15, 2013, Jesus Christ has his very […]

David Pittman of Minor Key Games writes in to announce the release of Eldritch, the first person Lovecraftian, Minecraftian, System Shock 2-ian action roguelike-like (previously covered here). I assume that there haven’t been any truly dramatic changes since we last checked out the game a month ago–you can see my first impressions in word / video […]

Fabio Belsanti writes in to tell me about the release of Fantasy Kommander: Eukarion Wars, a fantasy strategy title developed by two indie companies (P.M. Studios and Foofa Studios) in collaboration with each other under the name Age of Games. It’s sort of a weird arrangement–but if it works, who cares, right? Also a little […]

I know what you’re thinking. “They finally did it: someone went out there and made a dubsteb RPG.” Great guess! But nope. “The Drop” refers not to the musical term, but rather to a new roguelike created by TildeOne Games. Well, okay, maybe not exactly new: the Drop was released in mid-August, though it did […]

Emmett Southwood writes in to tell me about Fey, a new action RPG. Developed under the pseudonym Ashes of Emerald, Fey was released just last month after a whopping 8 years in development. The premise: Fey is the story of Landon Ferngrass, a young boy with a broken past who is lured back into a […]

Word reaches me that there’s been a new jRPG created with RPG Maker. Memories of A Vagabond: Broken Destiny is reportedly a rather dark take on the genre. Developers “The DarkElite Team” relate the following premise: Become a young mercenary and travel from soul to soul to avenge your fiance and her family. While finding […]

John Clowder, creator of the decidedly bizarre surrealist jRPG Middens (previously covered here), has come out with a new title by the name of Gingiva. As with Middens before it, Gingiva is a surrealist jRPG. The premise: An amboeboid landscape threatens to engulf civlization and all its plastic bottles. Disembodied mouths live in the walls […]

Ashley Flanagan of Urban Hermit Games writes in to announce the release of Travelogue, a sandbox RPG with asynchronous multiplayer elements. Travelogue employs an interesting marriage of single player-style interaction with a multiplayer-driven game environment: Players will encounter a myriad of opportunities to change the fate of the realm of the Midlands – not just for […]

Pascal Bestebroer of Orange Pixel writes in to with news that his action roguelike-like Heroes of Loot (previously covered here) has been released. There isn’t much of a plot to speak of–here’s the game’s premise, straight from the developer and complete with winky emoticons: Think classical Gauntlet on steroids and brought into the now. It’s […]
