Perhaps the best or worst heading for a blog post in history! If you’re lucky enough to live in Australia like I am, September means Spring! And boy do I love spring! So as the weather starts to resemble something remotely pleasant, lets look at some of those amazing Indie Games you should have on your radar for this month!
Swords N Magic and Stuff by Kindred games
Check out this little open RPG gem which has just gone into early access on steam. Join up with your friends and complete quests on an island that is beyond gorgeous. With plenty of updates to come along the way, you know this is one that’s going to give you hours to play into the future. Keep an eye out for those annoying rats that are going to give you a hard time early on!
As Far As The Eye by Unexpected
Gorgeous graphics and interesting gameplay with this roguelite city builder. Complete tasks within the time limit before the waters come to wash everything away. Collect resources, build mining buildings all in the name of clearing the path for everyone to make it safely home! A game which takes a bit to get used to but definitely has the unique element covered. A slow paced game for sure but one for those who love planning out their moves and resource management!
Nexomon Extinction by Vewo Interactive
Released at the end of August, Nexomon Extinction is a classic monster tamer RPG. For someone like myself, who has played a few recently, it was a nice change of pace with great acidic writing and a storyline that goes beyond your typical pokemon/temtem story line. There’s a lot to be discovered in the Nexomon world and I’m loving playing through on the Nintendo Switch! The design and number of monsters in this game is ridiculously good!
HAAK by Blingame
HAAK takes place in an apocalyptic space and releases this week on Steam. Solve mysterious and make your way around this world finding different skills and weapons along the way. A main character that looks pretty kickass and graphics and music to keep and eye out for! You know i’m always excited to try out a new action platformer! Can’t wait for this release!
Redneck Ed: Astro Monsters Show by Rustic Fantastic
Comedic style storyline and some of the best bangers you will hear in a video game are present in this beat em up. Play as Redneck Ed, who just happens to get his face ripped off very early in the game, and then transported to some kind of alien television show. Levels are simple, yet fun enough and there some quirky enemies to meet along the way. A great game for people who love a casual beat em up!
BPM: BULLETS PER MINUTE by Awe Interactive
An action FPS game that heavily links into the beat of the music within the game. Said to be inspired by retro shooters from the 90s, BPM looks to be a unique experience even though it feels quite familiar when looking at media for the game. Randomly generated dungeons alongside boss fights has us excited for this one!
A Monster’s Expedition by Draknek & Friends
Charming environments and a downright relaxing game to play either on PC or mobile devices. A Monster’s Expedition is your classic puzzle game with a bit of a difference. A world which is open for your to explore at your own discretion and cute little artifacts that show the monster’s attempt to make sense of human monuments. A surprisingly fun game to bite your teeth into!
Medieval Dynast by Render Cube
A very promising looking game that takes you into Europe in the middle ages as you attempt to keep your family safe and expand your village. A game that looks to have your classic mix of tactics, resource collecting and social interactions alongside some more deadly events that come your way. Really curious to see the quality of NPC interaction and the political decisions and consequences of this one!
So what’s your pick for your best “Septindies?” Let me know with a comment!
