Thanks to improvements in game engines, tools, and PC specifications, many people are now able to create games.
As a result, the quality of indie games has also become very high, and many games with new ideas have been released.
Recently, " Amanoho no Sakuna Hime ", an action RPG that allows players to cultivate real rice, became a hot topic of discussion by "Eideruwasu".
I just recently completed "Amanoho no Sakuna Hime" myself, and to say the least, it was great! I love the way Kokorowahime laughs!
I have some time during the New Year's holidays, so I thought I'd give it a try. If you're thinking, "I've got time during the New Year's holidays, maybe I'll play something!
The "Indie World Sale" is going on at the My Nintendo Store !
70 titles are on sale!
The "Indie World Sale" features a whopping 70 indie games on sale for Nintendo Switcn, ranging from classic titles to recently released new releases.
I would like to introduce a few titles that I recommend based on my own prejudice!
UNDERTALE
This is one of the best RPGs that comes to mind first when you hear the word "indie game.
It is a unique game in that you don't necessarily have to fight monsters like in conventional RPGs, but on the contrary, you can kill them without question at all, and while you are free to do so, you are also responsible for them.
It's a unique game that requires freedom, but also responsibility.
" UNDERTALE " is 1, 620 yen (including tax) → 1,134 yen (including tax), a 30% discount!
Baba Is You
This game is famous for winning the Game Designer's Grand Prize of the Japan Game Awards 2020.
It is a puzzle game that changes the rules of the game itself, and may be more difficult for people who are used to playing games and have stereotypes such as "you can't pass through walls" or "you can't cross water".
Keep a soft head and a flexible mind!
Baba Is You " is 1, 500 yen (including tax) → 1,200 yen (including tax), a 20% discount!
Cuphead
A 2D action-shooting game with beautiful graphics that look like a cartoon movie.
The game's graphics are so beautiful that the game's animations are all hand-drawn to recreate the atmosphere of film animation.
However, the game's difficulty level is so high that it is hard to imagine from its lovely graphics, so you are sure to sigh as well!
The harder the difficulty, the greater the sense of accomplishment you'll get when you clear it! Don't give up and give it a try!
Cuphead " is now 30% off from 1,980 yen (including tax) to 1,384 yen (including tax)!
Crab Fight -Fight Crab
As with the aforementioned three games, many indie games are released by overseas makers, but Japanese makers are not to be outdone!
Fight Crab " is a fighting action game from Carappa Games, and the characters you control are various "crabs". And they have weapons!
For some reason, the crabs are invulnerable and can be killed by the weapons in their hands (or claws?). They cannot be killed with weapons in their hands (or claws?).
However, the crabs have a rule that "the one who puts his back to the earth loses..." and if the crab is overturned, he loses the game.
The beautiful 3D graphics and realistic crabs wielding weapons in this surrealistic game are a must-see!
" Kanino Kenka -Fight Crab- " is 2,400 yen (tax included) → 1,920 yen (tax included), a 20% discount!
