“I thought there have been loads of great indies this year then bam! September hit with an indielanche so let's hand out some awards.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
"30XX is one of the best roguelikes out there, combining the tight platforming action of the Mega Man X series with the challenge and randomization that roguelike fans crave. Batterystaple Games has done lots of refinement through updates since 30XX first appeared on Steam Early access a few years ago. The latest such update adds a new character for free, one who combines the best attributes of the two existing characters. Also, the Steam version is on sale, making it a great time to travel to the distant year of 30XX!" says Co-Optimus.
"The Seattle-based (the US) indie games developer Batterystaple Games are today very happy and excited to announce that they have just released the 1.2 content update for their mega-roguelite platformer “30XX” (the sequel to Batterystaple Games’ roguelite/platformer 20XX).
The said update is available right now for PC via Steam (the Nintendo Switch update of the game will launch in a very near future)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
From AAA to Indie: The Changing Landscape of Gaming. Indie Games Take Center Stage Amidst AAA Fatigue. But, has the market become too crowded?
Eh, It would be better if we talked about specific genres instead of treating the indie market as a singular entity
Personally I'm kinda done with roguelikes and I feel that there's too many of them
Not by a long shot, you still have to sift through a lot of mediocre titles, but there are plenty of gems there, and room for even more now that people are buying less AAA games.
Some top-notch titles this month- wow!
