INDIE GAMES

It’s 2024, and I’ve somehow managed to coordinate it so that the first one of the year is volume 24 of Indie Insights! I meant to do this, and you simply cannot prove otherwise. I hope you all had an, at minimum, acceptable December and New Year.

If you are like me, you probably got video games for Christmas. I finally re-joined the world of current consoles by getting an Xbox Series S and have been continuing my mission to play Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch on every single platform it is available. Thank you, Game Pass.

With the announcement that a third entry in the Reigns series is on the way, I finally got around to playing both over the break.

REIGNS AND REIGNS: HER MAJESTY – STEAM

This game is ten years old, I had never heard of it, and it popped up in my recommendations during the Steam Winter Sale. If I hadn’t looked at it before playing, I wouldn’t have guessed it was 10 years old. The objective of the game is to create sweet electronic jams and keep the party going, as well as repair transmitters and banish the terrible DJ Steve that has taken over the network.

COSMIC DJ – STEAM

WOLFENSTEIN RPG The core gameplay is the same, but Wolfenstein’s story, style, and lore help to put the game over the top.

A new rogue-like deck builder from Super Punch Games, Conjury, sees you take on the mantle of a hero venturing into the forest to banish the darkness within.

CONJURY – STEAM

The interesting thing about Conjury is the ability to equip weapons that you can use instead of cards. Each one has different durability and mana cost. You can use them to attack as many times as their durability allows.

In this little alchemist sim from Mad Sushi Games, you play an alchemist just starting in their practice. You run a little shop where you can create new potions from materials found out in the world and then sell them to the locals. The goal is just to keep making potions, keep making money, and expand your shop. It’s a simple enough little game.

ALCHEMY GARDEN – ITCH.IO

It’s a pretty cute game, all the people are very round and cartoony, with the plants offering a nice pop of color in the world. However, it is a little unpolished, with rough-looking landscapes, hard-to-spot harvests, and a floaty movement cycle that feels like a step is missing. It’s a solid shopkeep sim; it just needs a little more alchemy.
