The pandemic continues to escalate in the real world, and in dark times, it is becoming increasingly important for you to bring you interesting games to entertain you.
We have provided another version of the weekly independent gem feature, which highlights some upcoming games that excite us, and points out some games that you can play when you stay at home (this weekend).
Please read this week ’s summary below.
Popular Independent Games of the Week of April 6
Dwarf
Dwarfheim is a real-time strategy with subtle changes. This is a four-player cooperative game that allows players to share responsibilities when building and managing dwarf cities. It provides four categories to meet the roles you want to assign to different players (such as miners, construction workers, warriors), all of which have unique abilities.
Dwarfheim can play solo in sandbox and survival mode, but the real focus is to play with three other friends. If you are confident in the efficiency of your team, you can also conduct the entire process online and compete with other players.
Few RTSs can prioritize the cooperative ’s experience, especially considering that these characters are not specifically against the characters as they might appear in traditional 4v4 RTS games. When Dwarfheim is launched, it will provide a friend pass so that the owner can invite friends to join their game without having to own the game.
"We want to create a fucking real cooperative multiplayer RTS. Developer Pineleaf CEO Hans-Andreas Kleven said:" The RTS you can play with friends is Dwarfheim.
Dwarfheim will join Steam sometime this fall.
Crime company
The Crime Company is a hybrid of tactical and strategic empire built in London in the 1960s. The game not only allows you to build your own criminal empire, but also allows you to choose to direct the Scotland Yard task force, whose duty is to fight corruption and get rid of organized crime cities.
The main decisions regarding recruitment and resource management are made on the big map. When you want to complete the mission, the operation will switch to turn-based combat. Developer resistance games especially hope to focus on close combat, as the UK ’s gun laws are stricter.
Playing the role of police also introduces your own mechanism, because you will respond to phone calls and public reports, but you can also independently investigate and trace evidence clues. However, this may not always be easy to do, because companies will try to cover up any criminal activity under the guise of legal institutions.
The crime serialization will go live this summer, and you can start listing today.
Games to play this weekend
Country well
Kunai is a 2D action platformer starring Ninja Movies. The game came out in February, but the developers decided to release a demo this week.
Kunai mainly relies on smooth and satisfying movement and combat mechanisms to prove himself. You are equipped with a grappling hook, which allows you to zoom in the surrounding environment and approach the enemy from different angles.
Actions mainly include quick execution of actions, launching a series of attacks and grasping the surface to realign and repeat. However, its structure is more like an arthropod, and exploring here will put your motor skills to the test.
The demo is now available on Steam and will be released on Switch soon. It is also sold at 30% and the price drops to $ 11.89.
Retro bowl
Technically, Retro Bowl has not released any major news this week, but Alex has been broadcasting a lot of news in the past few weeks and would like to introduce it to you.
No matter how much money EA invests in ultra-precise sports simulations, Madden cannot be as good as the classic Midway sports game NFL Blitz. That is just the truth.
The spirit of blitz has occasionally appeared in other games-recently, it has appeared on the phone again in the excellent Retro Bowl. The concept is simple. This is an American football game based on mobile devices, with NES-style visual effects, simple controls and fast pace. You can drag, slide, and tap to perform various actions on the field, and maintain this fast pace, the whole content of the game is illegal: the defense game is all automated by AI.
Between games, you jump into the management view, hire and dismiss players, deal with players, fans, coaches, and chairman issues to make everyone who is closely related to the team happy. "Retro Bowl" is not the most complicated game in the world, but honestly, its beauty lies in it.
Since I discovered it a few weeks ago, I have not been able to let it go, and it is a free game, and there is no reason not to try it. This is my favorite sports game for many years. Check on the App Store and Google Play.
