Yeti's Indie Game Spotlight, Vol. 1

In case you are one of the gamers that do not understand the question "Haven't you got enough games to play?", then here is my private selection of good, and not costly, games. Why I picked from independent ones? Because most of them need support to make more games. A view like the photo below is not so rare, as you could think. But not everyone deserves our money and our gratitude. Here is the first set of worthwhile indie games

So here, my first (and not last) set of gaming fun :D



Type: Strategy/Tower Defense 
How much? 8,99 € (Steam can discount it up to 80%, so keep calm, and wait for it ^^'' )
Who will like it? Anyone. Literally, the game is somewhat weird, when I think about it's difficulty. I have not met a person who played any other tower defense game, and could not succeed in completing the first couple of levels of the campaign. But mastering the game... It's a completly different level. I like this game because it can be played both casually and hardcore.
Type: cRPG
How much? Free2Play
Who will like it? Any fan of RPG's, who plays a lot of games, watches anime, etc. Why is that necessary? Because Matt Roszak  has put MILLIONS of funny references into his games. Name anything, it's there. Pokemon? Check.
Dragon Ball? Check.
Baldur's Gate? Check.
To much to mention further? Checkcheckcheck. Except the funny part, be prepared for Final Fantasy style turn based combat, and a cast of unforgettable player characters :D And also, a fourth installment of the series is almost done, and will probably be out before 2013. So you have loads of time try the previous parts (however it is not required)


Type: Old school dungeon crawler
How much? 3,99 
Who will like it? Anyone hardcore enough to play a game where you have only one life. You can turn off permadeath, but it's not funny then :X Also, this is another game, where nothing is serious. Once you will create a character that uses emomancy and mathemagic as their magic schools, you will get the idea. This game is a joke. A very good one. A very addictive one. 
Type: "Bullet-hell"  arcade shooter
How much? 7,99 
Who will like it? A masochist. Or someone who sheds tears because a lack of a challenge for his evading skills. Look at the screenshot below, and you will get an idea. Also, there is a very good backstory to this massacre of a game. Hardcore only. BUT, if you like a challenge, then go forth, and embrace the evasiveness required to win :D Otherwise STAND BACK (and watch someone else play this, it's epic even then)
