Yeti's Indie Game Spotlight, Vol. 2

Since our hunger for games is insatiable, I have put together another selection of fine indie games that will rock your time. Unfortunatly, this time, they can also drain you of money slightly. But still... I think they are totally worth it.

Some good news: THIS TIME I ADDED GAMEPLAY VIDEOS :D

And also, remember to add +1 to my Google+ page here, so you can be up to date with my new blog posts:

Defender's Quest
An climatic intro. Minimalism rules :D
Type: RPG/Tower Defense
How much? 13,99 € on Steam, 
Who will like it? Someone who doesn't have luck. Or does not want luck to interfere with his gaming. This is all brains. Without tactics, planing, and flexibility  YOU LOSE. Add to that an interesting story, a cast of characters that you will long remember and a new game plus mode, that extends and complicates that game, and what you got? An worthy investment in spending your time on gaming. As an last sentence, an quote "Final Fantasy Tactics meets Tower Defense". 'Nough said on my part.  
WARNING, THE GAMEPLAY BELOW IS QUITE BORING, BECAUSE IT'S THE START OF THE GAME (I don't want to spoil the fun). Later it gets better :D


Torchlight II
The prelude to a slaughter :D
Type: Hack/Slash/Burn/Pierce (or just Hack&Slash) 
How much? 18,99 € (still less then Diablo 3)
Who will like it? You loved Torchlight? You got disappointed by Diablo 3 because of it's lack of endgame/nonexistent character customization/lack of a pet ferret (like me?)/"always play online" drm? Played and loved FATE? Then say hello to your new best friend :D Nearly nonexistent DRM, twice/thrice the content of Torchlight 1, endgame random generated dungeons, and a challenging new game+ mode. That's all here for you, soaked in a one-of-a-kind graphical style sauce. Satisfaction guaranted :D 
The gameplay below shows you a high-level character playing new game+. You won't wreck THAT MUCH havoc at the start :)

Quite awesome, right? That's what you get at endgame, so chill... the game won't be too easy for you :D

Dungeon Defenders
The logo-less main menu


Type: TPP/FPP/RTS Tower Defense 
How much? 11,99  (Good news: frequently discounted. Bad news: TONS OF DLC, worth approx. 40  )
Who will like it? Someone with a lot of friends he can bring in to the game. The Dungeon Defenders community mostly s***s, so you need to bring a friend along to have a REALLY good time. But even solo, you can have a satisfying gameplay. And with random people sometimes make MIRACLES in this game. Overall, the game is good. But it isn't the cheapest (a 100% complete game costs 52 €, that's plain nuts D: )
Still... the basic one is worth every penny, and the DLC's are not obligatory. You can spend hours playing without them, so... everything depends on your wallet :D

Once again: this character is overpowered, but you can get the idea what this game is about.
