An original mixture of a platformer and a metroidvania game, developed by Villa Gorilla - a small Swedish studio. The game is set on Mokunama - an island where the player meets the protagonist - a sympathetic beetle. Working as a postman, he stumbles upon traces of a serious affair, the victim of which is an ancient divine being that had been taking care of the land. The insect's goal is to find a way to wake up the sleeping guardian in order to bring peace and order back to the island. What distinguishes Yoku's Island Express from other games of this kind, is that the developer borrowed elements of pinball. The beetle rolls a ball in front of himself - thanks to that ball, he can bounce off flippers installed in the environment in order to reach places difficult to access. The game is played from a side view and the core of the experience is made up of platforming elements, such as exploring, avoiding traps, eliminating adversaries or collecting valuable items.

A sports arcade game from the developers of popular MMO title EVE Online, intended for virtual reality devices. Sparc lets us take part in the eponymous sports discipline resembling the classic game of dodgeball. The players take static positions at the opposing ends of a long hallway and try to hit the opponent with the ball using motion controllers. Being stuck in one place doesn’t mean we can’t dodge by moving our body. Because of that and the realistic physics system, the ricochets from walls, floor and ceiling play a key role in the game, as they can be used to deceive opponents and increase the chance of hitting them. Sparc has been developed with multiplayer for two players in mind. The game also offers solo options, such as training, and social aspects, e.g. virtual spectators. The game is powered by Unreal Engine 4 and requires virtual reality headset along with motion controllers that register the users’ gestures.

In Dear Esther: Landmark Edition the player calmly travels through locations (the action is presented in a first-person perspective) and gradually discovers new pieces of the story. The plot is presented in the form of letters to the titular Esther, which are read by a mysterious male voice. Since the game lacks any interactions with the environment, it caused many discussions about whether it is still a video game or simply an interactive experience.

The fact that our colorful monsters can fuse themselves and create a monster in another color, like purple, will make achieving victory much simpler. With that fusion, the created monster can cross bridges of both colors that created him. On every level from the forty available, we have to make sure all of our creatures crossed the bridges and end up on special white tiles.

An exploration-focused adventure game with FPP view, developed by The Station studio – an experienced team consisting of people who worked on titles like Crash Bandicoot, League of Legends, Destiny and the Prototype series. Its story has been set in a distant future and focuses on the activities of Axiom corporation, which finds the first alien civilization after years of searching. However, the station that was sent to establish contact with the Aliens has malfunctioned, and a prospector (the player character) is sent to investigate the case. What he will discover will change his view on surveillance, imperialism and morality. Gameplay in The Station is based on exploration and plot, with classic narration being limited to minimum. This means that the players discover the plot not through dialogues or cutscenes, but mostly through their environments, and they must bring all pieces of a puzzle together.

MetaMorph: Dungeon Creatures
cancelled
RPG, Dungeon Crawler, Fantasy, Indie Games, Action RPG, Singleplayer, Top-down.
Developed by FireFly Studios – the team responsible for creating the Stronghold series - MetaMorph is an original hybrid of a dungeon crawler, an action game, and a real-time strategy game. In the game, the players get to travel to a fantastical world, where people lead a charming life until the Death himself arrives to collect the harvest of blood. During the game, the player assumes the role of a daredevil, who ventures into the vast labyrinths in order to find the Grim Reaper and put an end to his efforts. One observes the action from a top-down perspective, allowing for a better perspective on the exploration of the dungeons and fighting numerous adversaries. Due to the countless traps and large enemy numbers, one has to think on their feet and timely adjust their strategies. What distinguishes MetaMorph from similar games are the abilities possessed by the main protagonist, who, during his adventures, collects the souls of the fallen heroes that grant him unique skills. Moreover, during combat, a player can transform his character into one of these heroes.

NBA Playgrounds is an arcade sports game inspired by the NBA Street game series. It was developed by Saber Interactive, a studio mostly known for their futuristic first-person shooters like TimeShift and Inversion. In NBA Playgrounds, players take part in basketball matches. Even though the gameplay is based on classic rules, it has not much to do with reality. The players can jump incredibly high and do various tricks during those jumps. Nonetheless, mastering all of the game's twists, turns and moves takes some time. It has to be mentioned that the developers managed to acquire the official NBA license. Thanks to that, we can play as both current and old NBA stars. As we win, the players get new abilities, which allows them to do more complicated sport stuns. NBA Playgrounds can be played both in single player and multiplayer modes. The game has characteristic cartoonish visuals. Characters available in the game are caricatures of sorts of the real NBA players, and various lighting effects are present during our matches. All of this goes well with NBA Playground's gameplay.

Action, World War II, Multiplayer, Singleplayer, Shooters, Isometric View.
Running with Rifles: Pacific is an expansion pack for a tactical action game released for PC in 2015, entitled Running with Rifles. The add-on takes the player to one of the fronts of the World War II, namely the Pacific War. The game’s developer took care to faithfully recreate both actual armament and gear used in the period as well as uniforms worn by soldiers of the U.S. Army and Japan at that time. Besides, players are thrown into battlefields which are based on islands where actual military operations were taking place in 1940s. Not only their names match, but also do details and the topography of the terrain. Although the original gameplay mechanics did not change – Running with Rifles: Pacific is still a top-down shooter with elements of tactics, such as commanding a squad or taking cover – the new setting provides quite a different experience.

Blitz Brigade: Rival Tactics
May 5, 2017
Strategy, Internet, Multiplayer, RTS, Isometric View.
A battle strategy game with card game features. It was developed by French studio Gameloft. It focuses on real-time multiplayer battles between two players. Each player has a general placed in one of the special buildings located on opposite ends of the map. The game ends when one of the players loses their general. To protect him and to eliminate the opponent, the player is using cards from his deck to summon new units. Their march is slowed down by guard towers placed between the bunkers of the generals. The key to victory is to correctly match units to tasks and enemies. Cards that provide special powers and bonuses are important as well. All of it makes creating a versatile deck the main task of the game. Blitz Brigade: Rival Tactics offers nice, cartoonish graphics. Although the game shares its title with a shooter known simply as Blitz Brigade, it has completely different gameplay.
