PAX EAST: MOST ANTICIPATED INDIE GAMES

So I recently returned from PAX East and, while the major developers have some great games, I really enjoy seeing what the indie devs are working on. Quite a few really caught my attention, and since many of them were RPG and adventure games, I figured I'd share some with the community. Most of them are on Steam, but none to purchase just yet. You can, however, check out screenshots and videos.

-Dark Devotion: On Steam. Side-scrolling, metroidvania style game with a Dark Souls feel. I'd compare this to Salt and Sanctuary or Death's Gambit.

-Sparklite: On Steam. A rogue-like top down action/RPG that reminds me of an old school Zelda. Very cute and colorful graphics. Characters and enemies have some great combat animations.

-Swag & Sorcery: On Steam. Being developed by the same studio that did Graveyard Keeper. Build a fantasy village, create and equip your heroes and delve into a dungeon for "swag." Really cute graphics.

-Alkimya: On Steam. Top-down action RPG with bright, colorful environments. The action was pretty fast paced with a lot of dodging and evading.

-Wytchwood: On Steam. RPG with some really interesting artwork. You play an old witch that has to explore a unique forest gathering ingredients and crafting potions to use. The part I really liked was how you actually determined the fate of various NPC's that visit your forest.

-Bloodroots: On Steam. Fast-paced hack n' slash action game where every object can be used as a weapon and the environment is destructible. Really nice top-down animations with lots of blood and gore.

-Undermine: On Steam. A rogue-like adventure game with a few RPG elements. Cute graphics and interesting boss battles. Reminded me a bit of Spelunky but top-down play style instead of a platformer.

-Monster Sanctuary: On Steam with a DEMO. The tagline was "monster taming meets metroidvania." Collect, train and battle monsters in a side-view pixel world.

Tribes of Midgard: Not on Steam yet (will have to Google). Co-op with up to 10 players in a server. You work together to build up a Norse tribe and village, gathering and crafting. Every 5 days your village gets attacked by a giant, that you and your friends have to defeat. You play to see how many giants you and your friends can conquer before you, basically, die yourself.

-A Fold Apart: On Steam. This was my favorite game I demoed. It's a puzzle game where you play a character that's in a long distance relationship. You have to find your way to your partner by bending and folding pages of a book to form bridges and blocks to pass. Really great animation, amazing backgrounds with a stylish look and feel. The part that really impressed me is that, at the start of the game, you get to choose the couple: male/female, male/male, female/female. Worth checking out.

These are just a few that really caught my eye. I just wanted to post on here because typically indie games don't get enough love and media support. Hope you find a couple interesting ones in here :-)
