An Interview with Zebbe of Delayed Again, Developers of Upcoming Mega Drive Title – The Viking and the Ninja 🥷 @DelayedAgainAB #IndieGame #GameDev

Games Freezer (GF) - First of all, thanks for taking the time to speak to us! With the development of The Viking and the Ninja, you must be pretty busy at the moment. Can you tell us about the game, such as where the initial idea came from, and what players can expect?

SEGA Mega Drive Game Preview – The Viking & the Ninja 📯🥷 @DelayedAgainAB #IndieGame #GameDev

The Viking & The Ninja is an action RPG similar to the Dungeon Explorer series, set in an anachronistic fantasy setting with a lot of humour. The main theme and gameplay centres around cooperation between the two playable characters, but to succeed you also need to explore, fight bravely, and talk to other characters with important information.

Oxenfree 2Review 7.5/10 "All We Hear Is Radio Ga Gaaaaah!!" 📻👻 @nightschoolers #IndieGames #GameDev

When I originally played Oxenfree on my Nintendo Switch I was late to the party and managed to buy it during a Switch games sale due to a recommendation on a Podcast I listen to. I really enjoyed the first Oxenfree and I especially fell for the radio-based supernatural story that had me guessing all the way.

This time around I got Oxenfree 2 on my mobile phone via the Netflix Games part of the Netflix mobile app. I was impressed that it was there and couldn't resist the opportunity to go back to the world of Oxenfree for more transistor radio high jinks!

Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals feels like it is a worthy sequel to the beloved original indie adventure game Oxenfree and it also expands on the original game's strengths, whilst also introducing some neat new ideas to the formula.

Ghostrunner 2 Preview by @PixelHunted "harder, better, faster, stronger than the original" 🥷 @GhostrunnerGame #IndieGames #GameDev

I missed Ghostrunner on its original release, but when a polished next-gen edition landed on PlayStation 5 in 2021 I fell deeply dippy in love with its lightning-quick, lethal and acrobatic combat. Since then there’s been nothing else that’s captured the same sense of dynamic combat, where death you or your opponent’s death is a cyber katana swipe away.

Now, courtesy of a demo courtesy of developers One More Level, that same adrenaline rush is back. What’s immediately apparent is that everything great about Ghostrunner is present in the sequel. This is an evolution rather than a ground-up reworking, to the point where my initial suspicions were that little had fundamentally changed.

Best Budget Projector For Under £30 VANKYO LEISURE 430W Projector "Final Fight On The Big Screen!" 📽 @VankyoOfficial #HomeCinema #BudgetProjector

 

I recently bought the VANKYO LEISURE 430W Portable Projector from eBay second-hand for £25 and it was in immaculate condition. I decided to set it up in the kids' playroom/games room so that we could have family movie nights in our very own budget home cinema. I also connected the Raspberry Pi up to the projector to test that out and it plays like a dream. Here's a video talking you through my set-up and also a quick play on the Raspberry Pi / Retropie with some good old Final Fight - Hope You Enjoy It!

Operation Wolf Returns: First Mission VR Meta Quest 2 Review 7/10 "The Wolf is Back!" 🐺 @Virtuallyz_G

Operation Wolf is a game that pops up quite often whenever my family – my Dad, especially – talk about video games. Some of my earliest memories are of him hunched over that plastic Uzi, blasting away at a myriad of enemy soldiers….and never quite getting past the second jungle stage.

With these fond memories swimming about my mind, it was quite exciting to discover that Microids would be releasing this new VR version of the game, and whilst it may have its flaws and visual differences to the original, this captures the sense of mindless blasting action that Operation Wolf provided to so many fans back in the ‘80s.

Gamify Your Favourite Sports with These Fun Options 🏀⚽️⚾️🏐🏈

The gamification of sports is a great way for people to be involved in their favourite sports on a new level. You might be a fan of playing certain sports or more of a spectator, but the gaming aspects of engaging with them can be fun for anyone. You might not even be a big fan of watching or playing any sports but you still like playing games related to them. There are multiple ways you can gamify sports, turning them into something you can be much more actively engaged with. Some of them are directly related to real gameplay, while others let you do your own thing.

Those Games (or, YEAH! YOU WANT “THOSE GAMES,” RIGHT? SO HERE YOU GO! NOW, LET’S SEE YOU CLEAR THEM!) Review 6/10 "A great send-up of fake game ads that lacks the key fun factor" 🤳 @D3_PUBLISHER #IndieGames #GameDev

Designed as a series of actually accurate versions of games glimpsed in fake mobile gaming adverts in the days of yore, Those Games does a good job of representing the games that people who click on those ads assumed that they would play, but it’s a premise that – to me at least – is more fun in concept than in action.

Killer Frequency Nintendo Switch Review 9.5/10 "Who doesn’t like jumping into a horror game?" 🔪 @KillerFrequency #IndieGames #GameDev

Delisting of Rodea the Sky Soldier: A Collector's Interest ❎

 

In a significant move that has caught the attention of both gamers and collectors alike, Rodea the Sky Soldier, a title released in 2015 for the Wii U and 3DS platforms, has been delisted from the Eshop in North America and Europe as per Casino Gambler, a website about playing real money games in the UK.

Astebros SEGA Mega Drive Review 9.5/10 "The Pinnacle of Mega Drive Gaming" ⚔️ @DAsteborg #IndieGames #GameDev

Back in 2021, I was lucky enough to cover Demons of Asteborg, Neofid Studios’ first release on the Mega Drive. At the time I hailed it as a modern Mega Drive classic, I was really taken by the almost perfect action-platformer, which was up until that point the best game that I had covered on the Mega Drive as it was not only a great game to play, but was also a marvel in terms of the technical design.

In the space of only two years since that release, Neofid Studios have returned to the world of Asteborg and doubled down on what made the preceding title so great, this time upping the ante with local co-op and rogue-lite aspects that exist to add longevity to the game, making it the absolute cream of the Mega Drive crop.
