This feeling has probably been experienced by all of us. In the library on cook for a couple dozens of games installed on your computer are also many, and yet we will still say that we have nothing to play. However, the Steam just mentioned is overcrowded names of indiawhich, while not well known, can compete with AAA games and keep you entertained for hours. That’s why I chose for you four games from independent developerswhich is definitely worth a try.
TERRAFORMERS
The first is turn-based strategy. Terraformers. This is our main mission colonize mars and make it a habitable planet. It all starts with the allocation of the first city and the election of the first leader. They rotate every forty years (that is, every ten turns), and each of them offers a special event. So it’s up to you whether you make the leader a simple worker who allows you to build buildings for half the resources, or entrust the entire colonization to an environmental activist who will improve the air quality in all cities.
But back to the very principle of the game. AT With each turn, you get the opportunity to choose a project to choose from. Basically, these are buildings designed to speed up colonization. Of course, each of them costs certain resources, so it is necessary to carefully consider the expansion in this turn. That is, by selecting the field where your next steps will lead. I admit, I often wondered whether to build a school and connect the city to a water source, or build a droid base and, against the will of the inhabitants, start mining gems.
Leaders change over the years and colonization becomes more of a challenge. Not only because buildings require more resources to build, but also because your decisions will have a greater impact on society. But it’s not all about building and expanding. Terraformers also offers several scenarios with an average playing time of two hours. After each successful event, new leaders, new buildings, and with them new opportunities will open. In this game, you just won’t get bored.
SCARLET BLADES
Second game on today’s list scarlet hollow from the studio Black tabby games. This is about visual novelwhich she not only drew, but also wrote with her husband Abby Howard. Award winner for best webcomic of 2020. So far, only three of the planned seven episodes are available, and I guarantee you when you start scarlet hollow play, you want to finish it. This is about psychological horrorin which we go to our aunt’s funeral. And right after that sentence, I will end any mention of history. Not only do I not want to talk more about him because of the spoilers, but it also does not work. Each decision significantly changes it. So I can’t describe to you that in the first chapter you will go there and meet this and that, when you go on in a completely different way.
But what can I tell you is that before starting the game, in addition to your character’s name you also choose two traitswhich then opens additional dialog options. There are two of seven to choose from. I chose energy building as well as communication with animals.
I can’t say if it was the right choice, but I’m happy with the character of my character so far. Hand-drawn graphicspale colors and depressive soundtrack they add to the overall atmosphere of the game and you really won’t feel very comfortable. I shouldn’t rate a game that isn’t over, but you scarlet hollow as a lover of text adventures, he just won’t let me. It’s a hit, and if you don’t mind waiting for the next episodes, be sure to give it a try.
SEPHONIA
You will take on the role of three explorers stranded on a deserted island in logical 3D jumping Sephonie. In it, your task will be to explore the vast ecosystem of the entire island. The game inspired by PlayStation 1 classics – Spyro Dragon. And this is also visible on the graph. It might not be as perfect, the wide color gamut and small details don’t make it bad. But what’s wrong is control. You rotate the camera with WASD, you move with the arrows, and the X and Z action buttons are not twice as convenient, even when setting up the English keyboard. Luckily it saves everything the ability to play with a gamepad. And even on DualShock, DualSense or Xbox drivers.
So if I leave out the bad controls and imperfect graphics (it’s an indie game after all, so you can’t expect AAA game quality), it’s Sefoni good game. You will never get bored while exploring the island, and the combination of jumping and puzzles that you connect colored blocksa little unusual, but the more interesting the gameplay.
PATH
Last game on today’s list pixel turn-based RPG Pathway. In five missions, you will lead a group up to four figures through the desert during World War II. And just like in board games, you go box by box from one end to the other. And it depends only on you how you will move on the map. Then there is some activity in each of the fields. You will often be able to choose between trading, healing, refueling or combat. And just fighting is what he does Path good game.
Developers do not hide from themselves inspired the XCOM series, so you move around the marked fields in combat and, depending on the equipment and abilities of the character, you have the opportunity to perform several actions. For example, Natalia’s Medic has limited movement for a shorter distance, but she can briefly lure enemy dogs. Miguel, on the other hand, armed with a sniper rifle and grenades, can be a good trigger on the battlefield.
As you progress through the game, you will meet and unlock other team members. Since everyone has their own specialization and you never know in advance which one will suit you, you are literally forced to improve each of them. But this, of course, does not detract from the impression of the game. Thanks procedurally generated environment you can play the map ten times and each time with a different team composition. Personally, I’m from all the games mentioned in Path he spent the most time and I’m definitely not going to stop. The few euros the game is worth at the time of writing is a damn good investment.
