Campfire melodies echoing through the high plains, calling on that melancholy self destructive warmth of classic railroad Blues, straight from Heartworn Highways. The pace change is decisively slower, sparser and welcome, ushering in serene zen level focus. A couple of levels have alternative music playing once in a while to break the loops. Through the score, Kozilek taps into veins of Blues, Country, Breaks, and Hiphop, mined expertly to accompany trashing the wastelands. The tumbling percussion and rolling bass kicks drive forward through the rousing introduction. “Legend of the Throne” is instantly memorable, with its haunting harmonica calling on those classic Ennio Morricone ‘Once Upon A Time in America’ lines. Straight from the splashscreen, a Country and Blues inflected guitar riff calls to gunslingers of the old west, the motif of the game, crashing to crescendo for the character select. And the soundtrack is well worth revisiting too… Body Explosions and recoil rock the screen, weapons are thunderous, pacing is slick and addictive, and death is frequent and deserved. So many similar games have come and gone since 2014, but Nuclear Throne stands a firm fan favourite in large part due to its feel. Wasteland Kings, Luftrausers and, boasting the rowdiest time in the wastelands, Nuclear Throne. Jukio Kallio (formerly Kozilek), a Finnish Tech House producer, has worked together with indie developer Vlambeer on a few of their relentlessly mad games now. Hopefully this is not the last time they partner up and offer a wide range of great physical releases at affordable prices! Bravo, IndieBox.įollow nostalgia trigger on WordPress.Bandcamp (Digital Edition) Vlambeer (CD Edition) Like LimitedRunGames, I think IndieBox is doing a tremendous service to fans of gaming. My attention span these days is too poor to focus on much! After the mania of Dark Cloud 2 and the frantic 30 hours of Ys: Memories of Celceta, I’ve been craving 8-12 hour games moreso than epics. The games ship November 18th, and while I’ll be deep into Pokemon-land at that point, these will undoubtedly be a nice distraction when I need a break from catching and battling monsters.īetween my physical Vita copy of Shovel Knight on the way, and these two games, November is certainly going to be the month of indie games. Recently I’ve been a little put-off by turn-based RPGs and have gone back to my action roots, so I’m really looking forward to that. While I’m not admittedly a fan of all of the games included in the GameTrust Collection, I impulsively purchased Axiom Verge, Guacamelee, and, upon reading a brief synopsis, Stories: The Path of Destinies, for the sole reason that it’s an action-RPG and looks fun as hell. Of course, if you have $200 to throw around on this great collection of games, you could just buy the whole damn lot. Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition.
IndieBox is dubbing the game list the GameTrust Collection, and it will consist of the following games: I missed out on the physical copies for Vita, and the original IndieBox offering, so I was feeling like I’d never get a chance at it. And I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned it here, but I’ve been just aching to play Axiom Verge for what feels like eons, especially after finishing AM2R and learning that it had a very similar playstyle.

These games are usally $10-15 full price on Steam, for a digital copy. I couldn’t believe it when I saw it, frankly. However, the recently announced partnership with GameStop will see a downright terrific collection of indie games, as IndieBox will be producing steelbook editions complete with full-color instruction manuals, DRM-free game discs, a soundtrack CD, and a Steam key. IndieBox has been doing fantastic work selling exclusive collector’s editions of some of the most popular indie games of the past several years, while blending in the convenience of a subscription box. A partnership was recently announced that will provide collectors the opportunity to own some terrific indie games in steelbook editions.
