Stew: 5 The 3 Musketeers follows the adventures of D’artagnan as he endeavors to join the ranks of the titular musketeers. Unfortunately, describing the game is leagues more interesting than playing it. Musketeers is little more than a glorified point and click. You’re sent on

On Trial: Wild Hollow

Erika: 9 In this light-hearted RPG/Adventure/Simulation game, you play the role of a young boy/girl returning home after studying abroad. Unfortunately you arrive home to discover your parents are missing and your ranch partially destroyed. Your job is to find your parents and rebuild the ranch.

On Trial: Labyrinthica

Mike: 6 When I visited Labyrinthica’s website, the screens immediately reminded me of the Legend of Zelda. Ultimately, the game is a more generic hack and slash game. The hand drawn cutscenes and in-game characters look nice, but the dungeons themselves are

Hi guys, My name’s Radek, and I’m part of Incubator Games, a small development studio from Toronto, Canada. We were all previously leads at Capybara Games working on such projects as the original Critter Crunch and HoMM: Clash of Heroes, but decided to strike out on our own. We

Colt: 3 I never got into the RPGMaker niche. While the games look neat in the vintage sense, gameplay is ancient. I think the biggest progression is the automatic battle, which is broken in this case. No map, no autosave, confusing level design with all sorts

Best of the week, August 29 – Sept 10

Taylor Hall — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 00:46:26 +0000

While not a slow week by any means, platformers definitely rule the week. However, experimental games are the biggest draw of September thus far with the results of the Experimental Gameplay Project being released. Action Ozmoze Indie game players like me are suckers for

Sam: 4 Dark Souls is a Japanese RPG along the lines of Final Fantasy, with SNES-style sprite graphics. The gameplay is standard JRPG fare: enemies randomly appear as you wander around, you’re taken to a battle screen and fight by choosing attacks or spells from menus. Frankly, I wasn’t

We have a curious mix of genres that creates something new – a cross between an interactive novel, a roleplaying game, and Kudos. I’ve never experienced anything quite like it but there’s a first time for everything! The language at times is a little

On Trial: Zatikon

Caspian: 9

Zatikon is a very complicated, deep, and intriguing strategy game with vaguely chess like semantics – a cross between the ancient game itself and some kind of modern turn based tabletop war game. I think the last game I played like this was Chaos

Cool electro pop music mixes with decidedly 16-bit era graphics and gameplay in this racing team management / top down formula one racing game. It has a strangely clunky user interface that in the end made me end-task to close the thing down. I couldn’t really figure
