RPG, Crowdfunding, Experimental/artistic, Adventure Elements, Fantasy, Indie Games, Action RPG, Singleplayer.

An original action RPG featuring a highlighted narrative and created by the independent developer Studio Fawn. The game is set in a fantasy world created by Dani Landers, who is a screenwriter and the creator of the game's visuals. In the universe dominated by mysterious, soulless mechanical abominations, the humans were quickly marginalized. The player assumes the role of a character who was born away from the world of machines and becomes humanity's last hope to defeat the oppressors. In terms of mechanics, Bloom: Memories offers many ways to achieve one's objective, breaking with the typical gameplay patterns of action RPGs that tend to focus on violent solutions to all conflicts. The entire game can be completed by using force as one's primary means, but also only by adapting an adequate strategy and focusing on persuasion. Depending on the chosen path, the game world reacts to the protagonist's actions in completely different ways.

Again, the player assumes the role of a muscular basketballer who traverses diverse locations and fights various enemies, as well as powerful bosses. In combat, Shaq makes use of a set of techniques, punches, combos and power-ups. What is also helpful in eliminating the opponents, is the presence of destructible environments and different weapons.

Super Meat Boy: Forever is a spin-off of the Super Meat Boy series developed by Team Meat. Once again, we get a 2D game where action is presented from a side-scrolling perspective. This time, however, we do not have full control over the titular character. He continuously runs ahead, we can only help him avoid all sorts of traps and obstacles. We will also have fight with powerful bosses every once in a while. In addition to single player, the game offers the so-called Endless mode where we have to run as far as possible and survive as long as possible. Our score is then published in online rankings when we can compare our times with the achievements of other players. The game has cartoonish visuals and lots of dark humor in it. Super Meat Boy: Forever has many references to other games, i.e. unlockable characters from various indie productions.

A sandbox MMO game which emphasizes the survival aspects, developed by polish studio Space Boat with the financial help from Indiego’s users. Players take roles of castaways, who land on one of the islands of an unknown archipelago, and their main task is to survive in a foreign, unknown environment. To achieve this, we explore the diversified open world in search of a shelter and materials, which will allow us to craft basic tools, weapons, armor, and other useful items. Thanks to a simple to learn crafting system, we will easily raise mighty fortresses and construct various siege machines. Our character will develop in the direction set by activities he or she performs most often. In the constantly changing in-game world, we will meet other players, with their tasks being convergent with ours; though it is for us to decide if we compete with them or cooperate, creating micro-societies.

A refreshed version of an old-school RPG from Spiderweb Software; the game is a continuation to Avernum: Escape from the Pit. Avernum 2: Crystal Souls is set in the same fantasy world, and to be precise - in the undergrounds that were turned into a huge prison by the Empire, which rules the world. Once again player leads a group of prisoners, who as depicted in the previous installment, managed to assassinate the despotic leader of the Empire - Hawthorne. Now, they have to face the Empire's counter-attack - the wrongdoers' aim is to reclaim control of Avernum and get rid of all the rebels. The player leads a party of four characters and observes their actions from an isometric view. Taking part in turn-based encounters, the team gains experience, developing their statistics and skills. Battles are very complex, allowing the player to use magic (over 60 spells and hundreds of artifacts) and advanced combat tactics. While exploring, the player visits over a hundred diverse locations. In total, the game delivers about 40 hours of play, and three independent paths lead to victory over the Empire. When developing this refreshed version, the creators were focused mainly on improving the visuals.

A roguelike game set in the 19th century. The Curious Expedition combines elements of adventure, strategy, and action role-playing games. We assume the role of the head of a scientific expedition that searches for legendary places such as Atlantis or El Dorado. Our party can consist of such famous 19th-century scientists as Karol Darwin, Nikola Tesla, or Marie Curie. Each of them works for their own reputation and uses a unique weapon. While playing, we move through procedurally generated maps divided into hexes. Once we reach an interesting place, the perspective switches to the view typical for classical adventure games. In our travels, we can encounter local tribes and hidden treasures guarded by traps and various enemies — from wild animals and cannibals to dinosaurs or zombies. The title puts emphasis on logistics and planning. Selecting the right equipment and skillful management of our resources are key elements to the success of every expedition. The Curious Expedition features old-school pixel-art graphics.
