Early Access Preview: Next Up Hero (PC)

January 29, 2018
aspyr/Digital Continue/dual-stick shooter/Early Access/PC Preview/Previews/Roguelike/Steam

Preview by Matt C. Next Up Hero is a strange beast to describe. It’s fundamentally a twin-stick shooter, but with elements of hack-and-slash, hero shooter, roguelike, and asynchronous co-op, it’s unlike any any other twin-stick shooter I’ve played. The game takes place within a world of songs, hitch is under…

DUSK/Dusk game preview/Early Access/FPS/Indie/PC/PC Preview/Retro/Shooter/shooters

Preview by Harvard L. DUSK is the epitome of the 90’s shooter come back to life. This is a game reminiscent of Quake, Half-Life and Unreal, starting up with a mock-DOS screen so authentic I felt I was thrown two decades back in time. Everything about this game is an…

January 1, 2018
4X Strategy/Driftland: The Magic Revival/Early Access/PC/PC Preview/Preview/Previews/Strategy

Early access preview by Ginny W. 4X games like Civilization and Europa Universalis are known for being meaty affairs, not least of all because they’re usually a tactical experience on two fronts – building up your own empire and contending with the omnipresent threat of foreign invasion. There are countless…

Preview by Matt C. For anyone with fond childhood memories of playing with wooden train sets, Tracks: The Train Set Game offers a wonderful trip down memory lane. In the simplest terms, it’s a game about building railway tracks with those familiar wooden pieces, over and under and through whatever…

Citadel: Forged With Fire/Early Access/open world game/PC/Preview/Previews/RPG/sandbox

Preview by Ginny W. The word “sandbox” is starting to elicit a reaction from me that sits somewhere in the foul territory between an outbreak of hives and cold sweats. If there was ever a genre of game that was overdue for a drought, it’d be sandbox games. This isn’t…

Early Access preview: Quarantine (PC)

February 27, 2017
Early Access/Hands-On Impressions/Indie/PC Preview/Preview/Quarantine/Strategy/turn based

Preview by Jim S. Quarantine is, in principle, the opposite of another game we here at DDNet really enjoyed; Plague Inc: Evolved. In that game you needed to help a virus spread and destroy the world. In this turn-based strategy game, you must try to prevent the disease from destroying…

action RPG/Dead Mage/Early Access/hack and slash/Indie Game/PC/PC Preview/Preview/Roguelike/RPG/Steam

Preview by Matthew C. As a rule, I don’t really like roguelike games all that much. Sure, there are plenty that I’ve played and enjoyed, but that enjoyment is usually in spite of the things that make the genre tick – permadeath, high difficulty curves, lots of randomisation and so…

Review by Harvard L. A Legend of Zelda fangame to a T, SpiritSphere is a small local multiplayer title developed by one man studio Eendhoorn Games (on a tablet!) which remixes old school NES adventure game sensibilities with all the craziness of air hockey. In SpiritSphere, the goal is to…
