From GamesReviews:
"The resurgence of the rogue-like genre is an interesting prism in which to view the current state of games. With so many games resorting to “friendly” levels of difficulty and an emphasis on buzzworthy features like “open world” or general “epic”-ness, it’s no surprise gamers are once again attracted to the rigid challenge and structure of rogue-likes. And in a world where “on-the-go” gaming is quickly becoming a priority, rogue-likes offer an appealing mix of new and old gaming philosophies, an exciting, yet familiar middle ground where action and strategy don’t have to be sacrificed for convoluted stories, elaborate set-pieces, or cash-grabbing novelty."
Hardcore Gamer: If you’re a big mobile gamer, then you might have played Wayward Souls from Rocketcat Games before. If not, then now’s your chance with the release of Wayward Souls: Curse of Shadow on Steam.
Hardcore Gamer: For April 11, Amazon has made a $6 game in Wayward Souls their free app of the day.

The beauty of indie games is that you’ll never have to wait too long before you find something interesting to play, because developers from all over churn out titles from the secrecy of their computers. However, due to the influx of indie games, it’s difficult to keep up with all of them. Even if you have heard of these indie titles, others may have missed them, so I’m here today to give you some of my suggestions.
You can expect some familiar entries if you’ve kept up with our reviews, but you’ll also find some indie games that we haven’t covered. Keep in mind that we’ve totally missed plenty of games from 2014, so feel free to leave us your suggestions as well. Think of it as a trade: my suggestions for yours. That way, we all have some new and interesting indie games to play.
I definitely need to check these out. A lot of cool games were passed over in 2014.
This War of Mine and Lisa are definitely on my list. Can't wait to finally check them out.
If Lisa doesn't come to the PS4, then I probably won't play it. Def don't see a gaming PC purchase in my immediate future lol
Well, it was made with RPG Maker, so...it's very unlikely. My suggestion to Austin, should he ever come across this article, is to get in contact with either Devolver Digital or Curve Studios. Either one of them would have the chops to recode it.
