Microsoft’s latest edition of ID@Xbox, a showcasing of indie games headed to Xbox and PC, has given us details on several titles. And there is something for every gamer.
Promise Mascot Agency is a new game in which you play as a disgraced yakuza sent up-country to run a mascot agency while All You Need is Help comes with a gaggle of anthropomorphised tetrominoes you and your friends use to solve puzzles and overcome obstacles.
Ever seen colourful dungeons? That’s what you get in Dungeons of Hinterberg. It’s coming to Xbox and PC on July 18. Another new game is Centum in which the player is trapped in a computer game.
The upcoming summer game Keylocker has been described as a “cyberpunk, turn-based, rhythm JRPG” and an equally awaited game is 33 Immortals in which your job is to make it through ever-changing dungeons.
We are also looking forward to Astor: Blade of the Monolith in which players control the titular character, Astor, as he tries to put together pieces of an ancient mystery. Claymore Game Studios has given a new look at the next entry in the Commandos franchise, subtitled Origins. Set in World War II, players control Jack O’Hara or one of his five companions in a series of missions.
And let’s not forget Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, which offers ’90s nostalgia, with kids skateboarding and footage of the trailer being “recorded” from a camcorder. Also looking cool is Sulfur, a first-person shooter with roguelike elements and an old-school design.
