Deadbolt
March 14, 2016
Arcade, 2D, Indie Games, Platformers, Singleplayer, Stealth.
An old-school two-dimensional platformer with elements of stealth. It was created by Hopoo Games, a studio known for Risk of Rain. In the game, the player becomes an embodiment of death itself, coming to Earth to stop an undead invasion. Both the sides of the conflict are a bit unusual, because the Grim Reaper uses knives and firearms instead of a scythe, and as for the undead, they are overly watchful and intelligent - they can even wield pistols and rifles. Deadbolt puts large emphasis on stealth-action gameplay. The protagonist usually dies from a single hit, which forces the players to stay hidden and attack by surprise. This does not mean the game lacks dynamism, because it features a cover system that allows for a fairly effective exchange of fire. Therefore, each of the levels in the game can be completed in multiple ways, depending on the player's preferences.

The fourth (and, according to its creators, final) entry in the warmly-welcomed adventure RPG series from inkle based on Sorcery!, a popular gamebook from 1983.

A simplistic RTS developed by Flaregames. It is a mobile spin-off to a series of tower defense games created by Subatomic Studios. The game is set in the world known from the previous installments and the player fights servants of a crazy scientist known as Dr. Catastrophe during an extensive story-based campaign.

On the other hand, the player trains an army, taking part in subsequent skirmishes against the enemies. During the battles, the player gives orders concerning movement and attack-related options freely, making the game resemble classic real-time strategies in this aspect. The enemy does not remain passive, for they try applying different tactics to make it more difficult for the player to achieve victory.

Action, 2D, Indie Games, Roguelike, Singleplayer, Top-down, Turn-based.
An unusual mix of an arcade shooter and a turn-based roguelike from independent studio OrangePixel. The story takes place in the year 2476, as a distress call from one of the lunar colonies reaches the Earth. A special group of soldiers is sent to investigate the circumstances surrounding the signal. The game mechanics are somewhat similar to what we have seen in Nuclear Throne. With each try, we play as one of the members of the investigation team, who must reach the base and establish the truth. On our way, we will face a variety of monsters, with fights using a classic turn-based system. Our task is made more difficult by the fact that every death forces us to restart the game from the beginning, and all locations are randomly generated, making it impossible to master the maps one by one. The game employs a characteristic pixel art style that references old-school productions.

Bloop Reloaded

Puzzle, 2D, Indie Games, Singleplayer.
The game is a continuation to a challenging, though not very complex logic title developed by the independent studio 2SD. The player's goal is to lead an adequate amount of liquid to a test-tube, which is usually located in a place difficult to access. Platforms and walls the player draws are often insufficient to pour the liquid into the tube. In order to effectively complete this apparently simple task, the player needs to take advantage of interactive objects located on the map, such as spinning circles, gusts of wind or portals. At first glance, they seem to be no more than obstacles, but using them with creativity makes it easier for the player to achieve their goal. Over the course of 27 maps, the player will encounter other mechanics as well - for instance, liquids with different colors have to be mixed - such conditions diversify the experience and make it more challenging. The gameplay is complemented by a well-designed level editor.

Arcade, Auto-runner, Movies, PS Plus Extra, PS Plus Premium, Science Fiction, Singleplayer, TPP.
A third-person arcade game developed by a Disney Interactive's proprietary studio. The game is based on the famous science-fiction movie franchise, TRON. The action takes place in a virtual world located within a computer system. The protagonist, Kevin Flynn, is a programmer and the main character of the original 1982 movie. The gameplay mechanics were inspired by a popular genre existing on mobile devices - games known as endless runners. However, this game introduces a series of changes required for it to fit into the specifics of regular gaming systems. The individual routes in the game are not infinite or even randomly generated, each has its starting and ending points. The game offers two different types of routes that can be traveled sprinting on foot or sitting on a motorbike. Each of the routes available is filled with different traps and threats that have to be avoided by performing risky stunts. When running, the player also collects different bonuses and fights enemies in occasional combat sequences.

Angry Birds Evolution
June 19, 2017
Arcade, Puzzle Elements, LAN, Multiplayer, Splitscreen, Singleplayer.
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.

Dreamals: Dream Quest utilizes the technology created for its predecessor, and the cartoonish 2D visuals are still pleasant.

A mobile free-to-play economic strategy with comedy elements. Con Man: The Game bases on a license of Con Man, an internet series created by Alan Tudyk. The title makes fun of science-fiction movie genre. We assume the role of a Wray Nerely, a star of a cancelled series, who despite the loyal following from his fans doesn’t receive any new casting proposals. For a change, his friend from the set – Jack Moore makes a great movie career. In Con Man: The Game our task is to organize fan conventions that are frequented by the character from fictional series and movies, among them Wray Nerely and Jack Moore. The game includes a number of other plot threads and characters from Alan Tudyk’s series. The con has to be prepared – by inviting celebrities, setting up thematic stalls, summoning cosplayers, and so on – then making sure that it all runs smoothly. As a reward for our troubles, we gain new fans, and receive money needed to organize even more conventions. The game features a distinct satirical vibe, and fantasy fans will find a lot of tidbits and funny references.
Preston Sterling
March 25, 2016
Adventure, Indie Games, Point-and-click, Action Adventure, Singleplayer.
A mix of a point-and-click adventure and action game developed by independent German studio Animation Arts. During the game the player assumes the role of the titular adventure seeker and treasure hunter named Preston Sterling, who is examining the secrets of various myths and legends from the British Isles. As one could guess, each of his adventures is filled with various dangers and the protagonist will encounter many characters, not all of whom are friendly towards him. The gameplay differs from typical action-adventure titles because in addition to exploring the locations, speaking to encountered characters and solving various logic puzzles, the player also participates in various action sequences such as sneaking past guards or avoiding traps. The action is shown from a third-person perspective, but during the riddle solving and manipulation of various items the camera switches to first-person perspective.
