Cave Story+ air dashes onto Steam
The 2004 indie hit Cave Story has had a streak of success ever since Nicalis published the WiiWare version in 2010. Now Cave Story is the indie gaming sensation sweeping the nation, it is literally everywhere. The cute Metroidvania has

Out and about: A Walk in the Park
I’m always glad to see new indies come onto the scene, especially ones with such cool style (though admittedly one similar to something we’ve seen before). Here comes A Walk in the Dark, a new game by Flying Turtle Studios,

Review: Rochard
Not at all what I was expecting. When you hear the title Rochard you think of something discreet, something possibly French, something with gravity based platforming and shooting (okay, I knew that before I went in). You expect an experimental,

I ain't afraid of no Phantasmaburbia
It’s long been my opinion that indie developers should latch onto an obscure but happily received classic and run with its ideas. The indie platformer community has done this with Super Mario Brothers 2 (or Doki Doki Panic) and I’ve

Review: Dungeon Defenders
Fate, cruel and twisted, conspired to prevent me from reviewing this game. I think it all started when I bought the game a scant twelve hours before we would get an official review copy like some sort of real video

Simplified Strategy
Let me cut to the chase in this post about upcoming indie strategy good time Unity of Command: I love that it’s simplified. Simplification in the modern gamer lexicon is usually interchangeable with “casual”. Casual games are simplified, so making

Let me tell you a story that’ll get around to Defender’s Quest. This is the only way to start without hyperbole. I’m writing this piece in a coffee shop in Amherst, Massachusetts. When it gets sufficiently late, I’ll head on
