🧙‍♀️🥔 Wunderling | Review | Nintendo Switch | *Wunderling ist Wunderbar!* 🧙‍♀️🥔 @retroidofficial #GameDev #IndieGames

Wunderling is a pixel-art puzzle platformer with a deviously casual approach and is well worth your time.

Set in a colourful, 16-bit world, Wunderling casts you as a potato-ish henchman of the land’s ‘evil’ witch, a broomstick-riding little tinker that spreads the gospel of her wickedness through the medium of an anthropomorphic cow with a TV camera strapped to its back, natch.

At the start of your quest – which will take you across many dozens of levels – you are stomped by the hero, Carrot Man, on his way to rescue Princess Pea (any similarities to existing video game characters are purely coincidental) and brought back to life by the witch and told to stop Carrot Man at all costs, thus your adventure begins.

🧛‍♀️🦇 Bloodlust 2: Nemesis | Review | PC | "No ‘Suck’ Jokes, Please." 🧛‍♀️🦇 @Vampire_RPG #GameDev #IndieGames

It’s always impressive to see what extremely small development teams can achieve on a budget, especially when tackling a genre that is usually associated with both expanse and expense.

An Action/RPG hybrid presented in third-person view that takes its cue from a mashup of both Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines (mood, lore and setting) and the Diablo series (heavy focus on loot and dungeon crawling), it aims high but the focus on the more repetitive aspects detracts from the more impressive touches that Bloodlust 2: Nemesis has to offer.
