Mika and the Witch's Mountain Preview: A Witch's Work is Never Done

Mika and the Witch’s Mountain oozes charm when it comes to its characters, setting and overall gameplay concept. It is unfortunately let down by its lack of content. Much of what the team has accomplished is impressive, the game is truly beautiful, but I can’t help hoping that they’ll change their minds and allow players to discover more about Mount Gaun and the world they’ve created.

Roguelike games have all but taken over the indie scene with games like Dead Cells, Rogue Legacy and Hades setting an incredible precedent for the genre. So how do new roguelikes elevate themselves above the competition?

Mullet Mad Jack Preview: I Dare You to Insult His Mullet

Mullet Mad Jack from developer HAMMER95 is a fast-paced first-person shooter inspired by classic anime and in just the 30 minute demo it currently has available on Steam, it manages to impress in every way. From its eye-catching visuals to its frantic but super easy to learn gameplay, this title is strange, wacky, wild and I can’t wait to see what the full game has in store.

Paul Hart and Lee Williams have hand-crafted an utterly enjoyable and unique experience with Cryptmaster. This first-person dungeon-type adventure had me enthralled and laughing the entire time. Even while writing this preview, I found myself chuckling as I remembered the special sauce Cryptmaster brings to the table. Cryptmaster is a refreshing product with surprisingly high levels of accessibility in a niche genre that this title could well define.
