Tails of Iron is sort of the third Witcher in the realm of indie titles. Not because Doug Cockle voices the narrator, but because it strives for maximum precision in every aspect. The visuals are absolutely immersive, the combat system—though it doesn’t bring anything new to the genre—is fun, and the music hasn’t been overlooked either. And by that I mean it’s also very well done and atmospheric. The story won’t blow you away, and a certain repetitiveness in the game is tiring, but it’s still a great game.

Blade Assault is one of many pixel art roguelike games. It strives to be innovative, and in a sense, it succeeds. I enjoyed how the gameplay was enhanced by the elements, the chain of merchants was intriguing, and the wider selection of characters was a welcome addition. The biggest drawback, in my view, is the visual style, which, while nicely retro, feels too monotonous in the developers’ execution. This naturally has an impact on the overall gameplay as well. Blade Assault will certainly find its fan base, but it will likely be a niche one.

ANNO: Mutationem is a very nice pixel art RPG set in a cyberpunk world. It stands out primarily for its soothing soundtrack and dynamic perspective, which serve to mask an ordinary combat system and an unfortunate narrative style. It’s neither a groundbreaking title nor a leader in the field, but for casual gamers, Mutationem will undeniably be a pleasant diversion.

Banner of the Maid puts the reins of command in the hands of a young woman who has achieved the almost unbelievable. If the game has any significant flaws, they’re only the ones you notice at first glance, and when it comes to saving Paris, these trifles must be set aside.

If you want to save the world, the best way to do it is for everyone to pull together. Children of Morta is clear proof of this. The developers have managed to bring about a revolution in the genre, introducing a modest yet remarkable game to the gaming industry that captivates not only with its unique art style but also with its revolutionary gameplay, which shatters the very foundations of its genre.

Mists of Noyah is like a dungeon master’s game with no imagination. You might want to step into this fictional world as a brave knight or a powerful sorceress, but the landscapes here are bleak and lack any deeper meaning, so you have no reason to sit down at the table a second time. The developers likely weren’t able to clarify their priorities during development, so the current version is just another mindless RPG game—the kind we’ve already seen dozens of on the market.

Aeterna Noctis presents an extreme challenge for all Metroidvania fans in the truest sense of the word. The gameplay will captivate players not only with its smooth animations, but also with its diverse environments and vibrant soundtrack. Reaching the Queen of Light won’t be easy, and it will certainly take you more than thirty hours.
