Rebel Galaxy is the debut game from Double Damage Games, a studio founded by a couple of industry veterans who previously founded Runic Games, the makers of Fate and Torchlight. This time around, Travis and Erich have set their sights on making a space combat/exploration/trading game. After we went hands-on at PAX South, we stayed in touch with Double Damage, and they were kind enough to give us early press access to review it. The last couple of times we talked Rebel Galaxy, we were frothing at the mouth about this game - does it live up to our expectations? Let's find out in my Rebel Galaxy review!
Hay Day is a pretty addicting little zen farming game in the vein of Farmville, but behind the simplistic facade there are a lot of little details that never get explained. After playing the game for quite a while I've picked up several simple tricks and tips that I wish I'd known about when I first started playing. Read on for the top 6 simple Hay Day tips I wish I had learned sooner.
Human Resource Machine puts you in the shoes of a lowly office worker tasked with menial, repetitive tasks. You've got to overcome each of these tasks by breaking them down into logical steps and iterating over those steps until all the work is done. If only we had a computer to help... but, I digress. In my Human Resource Machine review, we'll tackle these puzzling logic problems with a heaping helping of programming know-how.
The "Six Degrees of Freedom" (6doF) subgenre of 3D space sims has existed for longer than 3D accelerators. Sublevel Zero is a modern take on this historic class of games, and it couples space exploration and combat with roguelike elements. Do roguelike elements gel with confined space combat? Let's find out in my Sublevel Zero review.
Serenity Forge's second game to hit Steam this year is Pixel Galaxy, a top-down shooter... of sorts. It combines elements of bullet hell games with several other genres, including Tetris -style rotation mechanics. Should you attach it to your library, or avoid it like a curtain of enemy fire? Let's find out in my Pixel Galaxy review!
Our friends at tinyBuild have decided to take a break from murderous stabbing sprees to instead share something more kid friendly.... and slimey. Snail Bob 2: Tiny Troubles is a physics platformer (with very forgiving physics) designed for parent-kid cooperative puzzling. In it, you play the role of the unflappable Snail Bob you perseveres endlessly forward towards victory (unless you tell him to stop, or he dies in one of many cartoonishly humorous ways).
Jotun is an action game steeped in Norse mythology featuring vast wilderness exploring sections and massive boss fights. Join the warrior Thora, who has died an inglorious death and must prove herself to the gods in order to enter Valhalla. Her trial - 5 massive Jotun ("giants") - awaits!
Assault Android Cactus officially left Early Access this past week, bringing its unique take on the dual stick shooter to PCs across the globe. We've talked about Assault Android Cactus before - when we saw it at SxSW 2015 and it got its own preview to boot! Now that it's out for realz, let's do a full-on Assault Android Cactus review!
Subaeria is a procedurally generated puzzle roguelike that just entered Early Access on Steam. I got access to a preview copy of the game, and so I've been taking its heroine Styx for a run through her post-apocalyptic undersea world.
A long time ago, when the world was young, we told you about an excellent little game called Puzzle Craft from AT Games. It stood out from it's peers with a simple style and puzzling that seemed as effortless as it was fun. It turns out this was no accident, as the developers shared in this article from Gamesutra. Fortunately for us, there is now a sequel!
