Volgarr is fucking fantastic.
It's objectively a quality title; well thought out level design with perfect enemy/trap placement and controls, an acceptable length and OK difficulty.
The bosses are kind of easy, the hard path was a bit too easy overall and the art and visual quality in general isn't that good. On the other hand enemies and levels are varied enough so it isn't a big deal.

Another plus was the bro-tier developers who didn't give in to casual retard shouting but told them to fuck off, how it should be.

It might not be a game for everyone, which is fine, but it's a good game period.

I still have yet to play an indie game I actually just like more than Iji.
The main character is kind of a whiny turd at times (all the time) but every aspect of the gameplay is just so tight, run variety is huge, and the music's great.
It's has some pretty ugly sprites, but all of the attacks are insanely cool looking.
I really wish it even had the remote possibility of updated visuals but it's still tons of fun. I could also do for Iji just being a hardass.
It gets kind of lost in the sea of Cave Story's (deserved) dicksucking.

>Battle Brothers is a challenging turn based strategy RPG mix for PC, Mac and Linux. It is being developed by Overhype Studios and is in pre-alpha stage right now. The gameplay is inspired by such classics as X-Com: UFO Defense and Jagged Alliance.
>You take on the role of a leader of a band of mercenaries and adventurers on the hunt for coin, fame and legendary artifacts. As you journey onwards, an epic scale invasion unfolds that leaves nothing but burning rubble in its wake. You and your Battle Brothers emerge as the people’s last hope to unravel the source of the invasion and strike at its heart. Will you turn out to be an able commander using cunning tactical outfits to emerge victorious, or will you fail miserably sending your men into a futile bloodbath? It is up to you, but be careful – every decision matters.

From a purely mechanical point of view I like it a hell of a lot more than Metal Gear Rising.
Pity the soundtrack and level (lack of) design and limited enemies kinda kill it. And the studio is just making dumb 2D sidescrollers instead of expanding on a formula they've shown themselves to be astounding at.

I was bothered by it at first too, but when I played the demo it turned out to work pretty damn well.

It makes it easier to differentiate between what weapons\armors your guys are wearing, if they have shields, how wounded they are, etc.

Makes it feel more "Personal" than look at a bunch of bars and numbers.

Like, when you have a guy with a helmet, it shows up on his sprite. If a dude's using a shield raise technique, the actual shield sprite is raised. If units get roughed up, you see them accumulating wounds, etc

Having a full body sprite just move around without being animated would look worse in action.

Xenonauts is great. It has a decent modding community too. I haven't really played any of the Xcoms, but from what I know they're supposed to be similar, so it's definitely worth a try if you liked any of the Xcoms.

It's all in all a pretty small game, so if you're unsure about buying it you can torrent it pretty quickly.

I recommend playing on Ironman to get the most out of it.

I have not played any of the "minimalistic" games mentioned in Stern's article so it's basically another world for me.
I have absolutely no interest in playing games where you only walk around. That's not saying they shouldn't exist but seeing how this "scene" developed and excludes talented developers of strategy titles etc out of principle is a bit worrying.

Swen Vincke's blog states that he is an independant developer, but his design principles certainly go against those of this "indie scene" and these awards.

The lines are so blurry, I can definitely agree with the statement "fuck indies, fuck AAA, support good games".
Indie or not doesn't mean anything.

You can always see an enemy when it's entering the screen. If you're rushing forward not paying attention, you're gonna get hit.

As for the delays - do you mean like him winding up the weapon? Not every attack has to be instantaneous.
>>
>>263464158
>I never experienced those
Not that guy, but I'm not sure you understand what he means by delays. He means you press the button and the action/animation has a few startup frames before it takes effect. Volgarr most certainly has these kinds of delays. Whether or not you like them is more a matter of personal preference, but there is no denying that they are there.

Those aren't delays as I know them. A delay is where nothing happens for some period of time. What you're talking about is called "charging" or "winding up", which is not a technical delay but a feature of the game that prevents twitch responses.
>>
>>263464493
Nothing is instantaneous. It's sluggish and unintuitive, especially with a one hit death system.

>>263464454
It's more like enemies that show up, and enemies spawning behind you at an alarming rate preventing you from moving back or going slowly.
>>
>>263463547
not him
the in battle mechanics are great and they're simple enough for the ai to use, though it's possible/necessary to abuse choke points.
the end day activities (hunting, patrolling, etc..) are a neat mechanic though the rng can be annoying at times.
the story was enjoyable enough for what it was.
the only thing i didn't really like was the map roaming because of terrain handicaps and the random resources.

There's tons of RPG elements available to you. You're able to pick out your crew, each member composing of different personality traits, and go through two different expeditions with them. This can range from putting together a crew of good-hearted adventurers, to pious over-zealous crusaders, and turbo racist spaniards.

Combat is easy to pick up but it's not faceroll. You can get stomped by even a shit group of tribal natives if you aren't careful. There are about 6 different classes I think and each has a huge skill tree to invest in.

The dialogue and descriptions are top notch as you can see and there are multiple ways to get through most situations. My few cons I guess were that the game is bugged to not register your achievements if you load up a save state while in-game, and that you can be screwed and have to grind out to get the best ending if you don't do a certain thing early enough. Other than that it's the best indie game I've played and has a really fair price point.

Pros:

Fun (if a bit simple) tactical combat system. Flanking, attacks of opportunity, very immediate and friendly UI.
Hardly any reliance on RNG. In combat, melee attacks are guaranteed hits.
Fun to explore the world.
Lots of quests, good writing, C&C.
Great music.
Balanced for Ironman.
Every decision counts.

Cons :
RPG character stats are a bit shallow. Same for equipment.
2nd campaign is a bit lacklustre when compared to the first- it gets repetitive.
Not enough enemy variety.
