Claire: Extended Cut
August 30, 2016
Adventure, 2D, Horror, Indie Games, Side-scroll, Singleplayer, Survival Horror.
An extended edition of Claire - a survival horror game released in 2014. In comparison to the original release, the new edition brings mainly improved audiovisuals. Once again, the development works were carried out by Hailstorm Games. The game still offers a two-dimensional environment and pixel-art graphics. However, the creators managed to implement both 3D objects and depth of field effects. Both the plot and mechanics remain unchanged, thus the protagonist, the titular teenager, faces both monsters and demons from her past when exploring the building of a haunted school. For the most part, the player traverses the game world, managing their equipment and avoiding direct contact with the enemies. Importantly, an in-game fear meter constantly monitors the player's actions - when it reaches maximum, the protagonist can die.

Mobile card game in fantasy world, which is in state of chaos after the destruction of Sacred Spire. We play as one of the guardians of the Spire, trying to overcome the situation. Gameplay of Deckstorm: Duel of Guardian focuses on dueling with cards representing characters, spells and items. As usual, completing a deck the fits our play style is highly important. Despite its complex mechanics, gameplay is very fast-paced, mainly due to lack of turns, as all players act at the same time. This results in short, but intensive matches, as players must predict opponent’s plays rather than counter them. Additionally, the game offers an extensive card development system inspired by RPG titles. Unsurprisingly, single player campaign acts as prologue to multiplayer experience.

Destroying them is awarded with experience points used for upgrading the tank with health regeneration, increased projectile speed and greater power. It all becomes especially useful when fighting other players that are present on the same map. Except for obtaining the highest possible score and staying alive for as long as possible, the game doesn’t have any additional objectives. The visuals of Diep.io are minimalistic – the tanks are simply colorful balls with rectangle cannons and the map looks like a piece of paper from a notebook.

An important aspect of the game is the possibility to collect and improve characters, selected by the player before each mission.

Another installment in the popular logic puzzle/arcade game by Finnish studio Rovio. Angry Birds Evolution doesn't feature a complex story campaign: the game is set on a bird island, where the pigs arrive, and your task is to drive them off. The gameplay consists of battles between the two hostile teams. After launching your characters in a way that is distinct for the series, they roll on the floor, eliminating enemies and bouncing off everything in their way. While the basics of the gameplay seem easy, matters are complicated by the design of the levels, which are small and full of obstacles and various interactive elements, e.g. exploding crates. The gameplay is varied thanks to special abilities, which give every bird three unique attacks each. It provides a motivation for unlocking more characters — the game features over 300 of them, and each of them can be upgraded and developed further.

Puzzle, 2D, Puzzle Elements, Arcade Elements, Platformers, Side-scroll, Singleplayer.
A combination of a two-dimensional platformer and a logic game created by the independent studio Brainseed Factory. The player assumes the role of an original protagonist, composed of four letters: "H", "E", "R" and "O", who traverses a dark world filled with threats. Exploring a fantasy land, avoiding countless traps, jumping across platforms and solving puzzles requiring the player to manipulate letters and create new words - these activities constitute the pillar of the game's mechanics. Creating words from letters is the key feature of the game, and this is how the player deactivates various traps and gains access to new locations. For instance, in order to open a gate, the player has to assemble the word "OPEN" from the four words given. Furthermore, the player often encounters various enemies capable of tearing the protagonist into shreds. Combat in this game requires us to create antonyms of words. A dark atmosphere present in the game was not built not only on a the minimalistic color palette applied by the developers, but also thanks to the soundtrack composed by musicians belonging to the Dutch sound producer SonicPicnic.

From Beneath
May 1, 2010, End of Life
Action, Horror, Action Adventure, Singleplayer, Survival Horror, TPP.
A third-person perspective survival horror inspired by console productions of this genre. The action of From Beneath takes place in a town called Cedar Heights, which mysteriously turns into a living hell. The campaign tells a story of seven independent characters who have to fight for their survival. Mechanically, From Beneath is an action-adventure game with the camera hanging behind the character’s back. Each hero is different, but none of them was born a warrior. Therefore, battles pose a significant challenge and each bullet is precious. Usually, it is best to simply sneak behind enemies’ backs, stay in the shadows, and distract opponents in numerous ways. Gameplay is complemented by logic puzzles. The narration depends on the hero you are in control of – the title does not allow switching between the characters. From Beneath offers large locations, decent 3D visuals, and a professional voiceover.

She is constantly interrupted by various evil creatures inspired by Nordic mythology and Scandinavian folklore. The game has an unusual form of a flashback that takes place while the protagonist is having a sessions with a psychologist. In the title, we mostly explore and solve puzzles, although we will also engage in arcade challenges. Most of them boil down to sneaking or running, though, since the heroine is practically defenseless in direct combat and the only gadget she possess is a torchlight that comes in handy very often.

Rouge Operatives is played in rounds, during which the job of the agents is to track and eliminate all the rogues; the latter, on the other hand, have to remain undetected until the end of the round. What is innovative about this game however, is that although the agents are rather typical figures running around with firearms, the rogues were gifted with a unique ability to disguise themselves as different objects of the in-game environment, such as barrels, buckets, packages, shovels, rakes or ladders. This special ability allows the rogues to become one with the environment, which makes it easier to stay hidden. Additionally, both sides can make use of the various power-ups scattered throughout the maps.

Adventure, Experimental/artistic, Exploration Games, Puzzle Elements, FPP, Singleplayer.
An experimental logic exploration game developed by the independent developer Fire Face Corporation. In it, our task is to find thirty cassettes that take us to other worlds. They are hidden in abandoned industrial buildings that we observe from the third-person perspective, similarly to typical 2.5D platformer productions. In Small Radios Big Televisions, we do not control any protagonist, only the camera and the cursor, with which we interact with various objects. Having solved a series of logic puzzles, we acquire a cassette that takes us to a unique world in the form of a forest, desert, or some other surreal place. There, our task is to deal with another puzzle that often requires us to manipulate the entire environment in order to find a hidden emerald. Once successful, we go back to the starting location. The game features stylized and minimalistic graphics that use spectacular graphic filters.

An indie game that combines RPG and point-and-click adventure game genres with beat 'em up elements.

Since it is full of dangers, the player will have a lot opportunities to fight – using either melee weapons or firearms – and the battles have a rather high difficulty level. Instead of gaining experience, the players receive sand which also serves as energy and currency. However, having too much sand can lead to insanity – for example, player's character can perceive villagers as monsters.
