Greenlight Wednesday

A really nice collection of Indie Games this week on Greenlight, with barely an adventure or point-and-click amongst them, compared to a big trend for them in recent weeks.  Here's my Top 5:

1. Card Dungeon by Playtap Games
Take on the invading hordes of the Nethermists, in this turn-based rogue-like. Play as the Crusader and fight to rid the monster infested, randomly created, dungeons in this card, board and turn-based rogue-like. Face hard choices about which of the 1000’s of cards you find you will want to keep and which to discard. Find new inventory cards and equip your Crusader in all kinds of gear and weapons! Don't get too attached to any of them as they deteriorate with use and will need to be replaced! Save the soul of the lands and yourself and crush the horde of the Nethermist!


My Opinion - I love the look of Card Dungeon; like a pen-and-paper game has been translated on to the screen.  The mechanics of it look really interesting as well and I'm looking forward to this being released.

2. Voice of Steel by Point Cloud Studio
Voice of Steel - is an online physics-based simulator of robot fights, where You create movements and strokes for your robot, which is composed out of 16 different modules. Your role is to be an operator, coach, manager and mechanic of all your robot-fighters.



My Opinion - A robot fighting game with a huge amount of customisation for your robots and frenetic combat.  Nice to see something different in the beat-em-up genre.

3. Interstellar Rift by Split Polygon
Interstellar Rift is a open world Starship Simulator with an emphasis on ship construction and multi-player interaction. Players will need to survive in a hostile galaxy with their own custom designed and constructed starship. Space is vast but you wont have to face it alone, other players will be able to join your ship and help out, or build their own rival fleet and fight you across the galaxy.



My Opinion - Who doesn't like to design and build their own starship? I really like the first-person element of being able to wander round your ship as well.  Check out the pre-alpha demo through the greenlight link for a first taste of what is a really promising project.

4. Legions by Axed Games Studios
Legions is the ultimate interactive 3d trading card game. Allowing you to collect, level up and customise hundreds of animated cards which you can then use to wage war online.



My Opinion - If you like Magic and/or Hearthstone then you will enjoy Legions.  It takes the mechanics of the trading card game and adds a nice gloss to it with animated cards, making it feel like a proper battle.  Worth keeping an eye on.

5. Last Halloween
Last halloween is a dynamic multiplayer team vs team survival game that changes it's rules as the game progresses, as the name suggests, the game is set on Halloween. Electricity has been disabled for the entire gated street, which is a problem if anyone planed on leaving. This is just the first phase of a night of terror planned by one of the residents, work together to survive and hope this isn't your last halloween.



My Opinion - A nice twist on the survival genre with an emphasis on team vs team play.  It will be interesting to see how this one develops but it could be a really interesting online multiplayer option for those looking for something a little bit different.
