Indies to Catch in April 2026!
Back from a bit of vacations to escape the dreadful cold of early Spring that settled across the land and reset the weary soul. April is already nearing it’s second half over the horizon, but nonetheless, there are still great games to look forward to. And I am more than happy to share a selection of titles I am most excited about. Let’s roll! CURSED WORDS | 6th April It’s awesome. That’s pretty much the core review here, in its very essence. I played a bunch of word-driven r

FEATURED:
TITANIUM COURT
I am an abstinent. I am sharing this factoid about me simply because it feels like the proper way to even start a feeble attempt to describe what TITANIUM COURT is about would require a tiring day and a visit to a bar to nourish a cold glass of some hard liquor when venting your ordinary frustrations to a kind, but not entirely interested bartender. I am not saying this for dramatic effect – the matter of fact is, that this… is a weird game. And it is a very refreshing kind o

MOUSE: P.I. FOR HIRE
I must come clean in the preamble to this review. I am not a noir nut. I do not bask in the depictions of grimy alleys of corrupt cities, in the stories of down-on-their luck retired police officers turned private eyes to wrench free from a rotting system. Not that I dislike it or hold any animosity for this pulpy treasure trove of tropes. Gosh I do love pulp! Just this particular genre of it never caught my attention. But I do know Boomer Shooters. Oh yes sir or madame, I su

DEMO DIVE #2 - April 2026
April is nearing its end, and May is looming over the horizon. Summer vibes are here! But of course as time flies, so are new games being released, and with them the glorious deluge of demos to enjoy and try out some pearls before they hit us with their full splendour! And as is Sunday tradition, I am happy to report that I tried quite a few titles and am happy to share three that caught my attention. Let’s roll! SOVEREIGN TOWER Absolutely ingenious formula here. It’s such a

SKULL HORDE
After getting SKULL HORDE on a whim, I had pretty much no expectations. It was cheap, it looked fun but also struck me as a derivate title with little new to offer. A possible distraction for a few hours. And I am happy to report that it is a much better title than I initially anticipated, while still being a game that doesn’t really aim to be a big shaker of the genre. Just a competently made roguelite with banger tunes, simple premise and high-energy gameplay! And frankly,

ASTREA: THE SIX-SIDED ORACLES
I might need therapy. A special one, made for addicts of a particular genre. It is not for the first time that my friends call me out of my addiction to roguelikes. I tell them I have them under control, that I can stop whenever I want… But then some fancy game with cards or better yet – dice – shows its head, waving a finger at me with a beguiling smirk and I am too much of a sucker to resist such a siren’s call. Well, gosh, we all need a vice, right? I do feel guilty about

CURSED WORDS
I like when the game subverts my expectations. Call me a simple sucker, but I all for plot twists and seemingly random revelations that jump out of the blue! I love twist villains in movies, too. But, of course, it all needs to be done in a decent way. A well-crafted reveal, a juicy build up, a proper ‘Gotcha!’ moment that makes it feel earned. Now though, how do you elicit such a feeling in a word scramble game? CURSED WORDS answer that question well and is a delightful ex
