More indie titles fight for your money
The good news is that there are no real stinkers this week, as we try to get you some of the cream of the crop, with the occasional warning to steer clear. Let’s take a look in detail. Black & White Bushido: A unique concept that provides some genuinely fun local multiplayer gameplay, Black and White...
Nindie Round Up Bedtime Blues, Apocalipsis, My Memory Of Us, JackQuest And The Shrouded Isle
Scares, sacrifices and Sir Patrick Stewart
This week we have a game heavily influenced by WWII, one paying homage to the writings of H.P Lovecraft and one with a visual style based on 15th-century wood carvings. If that doesn’t cement the level of variety and creativity in the indie scene, then we don’t know what does. Let’s dive in…...
Nindie Round Up Clock Simulator, Neko Navy, Momodora, Stellar Interface And Hive Jump
Some clocks, some cats, some gems
The wonderful thing about the indie gaming scene is that it allows game developers to embrace their bizarre, deep-seated desires for game ideas, seemingly with no creative limits. Thus, we have Clock Simulator, a rhythm game that literally has you take the role of Father Time in an array of odd minigames. We also...
Sport! Puzzles! Shooting things!
Never has the Nindie round up seen such diversity in its games. A real medley of genres here with the SSX-inspired Snowboarding: The Next Phase, a somewhat clunky, yet still altogether enjoyable dungeon crawler in The Keep, some fast-paced and frantic retro fun with Horizon Shift ’81, well thought out and...
Three stunners, two bummers
This week’s indie offerings show the variety of quality available on the eShop with standouts like the Metroidvania platformer Fuedal Alloy, the emotionally-driven and heartfelt Bury Me, My Love, and the Dark Souls-inspired Animus: Stand Alone all flying the flag for quality content on the indie scene. At the less...
Nindie Round Up Catastronauts, Overdriven Reloaded, Julie's Sweets, Oxyjet And Wondershot
Let's party-game like it's 2019
We’re starting 2019 off in the right way with some stellar indie games in our second Round Up this week, accommodating for a lack of a Nindie Round Up goodness over Christmas. We have brilliant party action in Catastronauts, Wondershot and Oxyjet, some manic, shoot 'em up fun in Overdriven Reloaded: Special Edition,...
Nindie Round Up Solar Flux, Dreamwalker, Bring Them Home, Rain World And Mech Rage
A trio of puzzlers, a shmup and a platformer
After an absence for the holiday period, the Nindie Round Up is back for a double whammy this week to see you into the new year. Today’s entry gives us three puzzle games with varying degrees of quality in Solar Flux, Dreamwalkers and Bring Them Home; the standout title of the week, Rain World - a...
Nindie Round Up GensokyoDefenders, Starman, OkunoKA, Conduct Together! and Viviette
Five thumbs pointed up
If you thought last week was a good week for indies, the penultimate week before Christmas has offered up an even stronger assortment of titles across multiple genres. We have the great tower defence/shooter genre covered from the world of Touhou, which can be enjoyed by fans of the series and wider audiences alike. You can...
A good week for indie titles
The indie scene has a strong output this week, with four thumbs ups and one maybe. We’ve got some great niche picks, like the bizarrely entertaining puzzler Please Don’t Touch Anything, pixelated arcade racing fun in Desert Child, a first-person, dungeon crawler RPG with Crimson Keep, sluggish steampunk puzzling with...
Nindie Round Up Demetrios, Storm Boy, Soap Dodgem, I am the Hero And Screencheat: Unplugged
Indie goodness before Smash
If you can’t afford Super Smash Bros. Ultimate this Friday, then perhaps you’ll prefer something indie-flavoured to entertain you. This week, we have mediocre puzzling that belongs on iOS/Android in Soap Dodgem, point and click fun in Paris with Demetrios: The Big Cynical Adventure, combos galore in beat em’ up I am...
Genres and techno soundtracks aplenty
This week’s Nindie round up features a delightful array of genres that’ll take you from role-playing as a light-hearted baker to a psychotic murderer. We have slasher strategy in Party Hard, a simplistic gravity manipulation platforming in Dexteritrip, a retro 8-bit platformer in Kuso, an anime-infused...
Which are worth a look?
Those of you who have been visiting Nintendo Life since the days of the Wii and Wii U will have no doubt noticed that we're struggling to cover all of the content that hits the eShop each week. While we used to review every single game that arrived on the Wii U and 3DS, the avalanche of games coming to Switch means we simply...
