Another excellent indie showcase
Behold, thefull list:
Lots of games I haven’t heard of here, but I’m particularly enamoured byHermit And Pig, whose artwork I used for this article’s header image. This top down adventure has bigMinitand Eastward energy, but as its announcement trailer on its website reveals (linked above), it also hasDragon Quest-style turn-based RPG battling in there as well. Lots of things I like there, and I look forward to finding out more come October time.
Also on my personal hit list is Isles Of Sea And Sky, which looks like the Link’s Awakening DX successor I never knew I needed. As well as some gorgeous Game Boy Color visuals, the puzzles on show in its trailer look pretty top notch - maybe I’ll sneak in a quick go of its current demo that’s available onSteamandItchover the weekend to get a quick fix…
One game I’m absolutely going to save (and definitely going to rope other RPS Treehouse members into playing) for the showfloor, however, is CroQué?! which, judging by the linked trailer above, is about trying to mallet croquet balls between walking, googly-eyed flags. Brilliant. I love it. Can’t wait to play it.
To find out more about the other games in this year’s collection, click the links in the list above, which take you to a combination of YouTube trailers, official websites and Steam pages.
We hope to see you there! And if you can’t make it to this year’s EGX, fear not. We’ll be on the ground writing about as many of these games as we can, so keep an eye out for more words on them soon.
