The Kickstarter game Enemy will bring characters reminiscent of Mario, Link, Bomberman, and those dudes from Contra together for tactical, turn-based combat in destructible environments with Roguelike random levels and permanent death. Details:
New Wasteland 2 Gameplay Footage Makes Me SalivateFebruary 13th, 2013 by Mark A. BrooksOh. My. Glob. My love for Wasteland is well known, so perhaps I’m a bit biased, but if we are to judge based solely on this video, then Wasteland 2 is going to be the ultimate shit of this universe and its release date can’t come soon enough. Call it what you will; Fallout 2.5, Baldur’s Gate with guns, etc. But don’t call it a waste of Kickstarter money. I can’t wait to descend into the Nevada desert again and reduce my enemies to a thin red paste. Wasteland 2 is expected to release in October 2013. Secure a copy now, and help further fund this incredible project. Hands-on Preview: Axle (Android)November 16th, 2012 by Fade to Slack
A few days ago, we covered the Kickstarter campaign for award-winning title, Axle. Since then, the good people over at FallStreak Studio let me get my grubby mitts on an alpha build of Axle to check it out. What I found left me impressed and wanting more.
Steampunk Platforming Game, AXLE, needs your helpNovember 10th, 2012 by Fade to Slack
Let me not waste your time. Axle is a promising platform game with puzzle elements. Their Kickstarter has already reached the initial $15,000 goal, but that release is on Android. If the Fallstreak Studios team hits their $22,000 stretch goal, Axle will be ported to iPhone, iPad, and Windows phones. I’d like to see Axle on iOS. We’ve got a week to make this happen, iOS gamers. Let’s go to work. Judging from the videos, I’d say there’s a lot to love about this little game. Axle has a nice blend of steampunk and cutesy elements with some apparent puzzle elements thrown in for good measure. Though I’m hoping to see a few more hazards pop up to help differentiate things, Axle is shaping up to be something pretty special. Fallstreak Studios is aiming at a “Donkey Kong Country Returns” level of difficulty. For those unfamiliar with DKCR, this means you’re either going to love it or hate it. I’m a bit of a glutton for punishment, as my fond memories of Battletoads, Earthworm Jim, and Viewtiful Joe over the years can attest, so this is music to my ears. Each level features a different broken item that Axle must fix. For instance, that slumped over Nutcracker from the opening cinematic could be a level found in the Toy Shop. The team currently has five different stages planned: the Toy Shop, the Estate, the Factory, the Adventure, and the Military. Looks like Axle’s going to be getting a high-and-tight, hooah! “Steam Bandits: Outpost” Developer InterviewJuly 24th, 2012 by ikecube
Today we have a special treat for the Indie-developer loving, mobile-gaming loving crowd: an Q&A with Jason Fader: the creative director and El Presidente Burrito of Iocaine Studios (an indie development studio that is odorless, tasteless, dissolves instantly in liquid, and is among the more deadly poisons known to man). During this Q&A, we get to find out about Steam Bandits: Outpost, and the unique vision for an all new creative world that will span multiple games but remain interconnected. Here is a quick summary of the game:
Before we get down to Q&A, meet the Iocaine Studios team:
