Inaria: Now Available

Posted by Rampant Coyote on May 24, 2011

I guess you can all check out the game for yourselves, now. Inaria has been released. I’ve found myself still playing it even after my preview. Kinda surprises me, ‘cuz I’ve got The Witcher 2 unfinished on my hard drive as well (which I really enjoy, besides the twitchiness demanded by it as an action-RPG).  […]

Preview: Dungeons of Dredmor

Posted by Rampant Coyote on May 23, 2011

I have died dozens of times now.  Many times in the first or second room of the dungeon. I’m not so much rolling up new characters as creating the latest incarnation of my last dead character. But those bird-like Diggles who taunt with the creativity of the French knights in Monty Python and the Holy […]

Quick Preview: Inaria

Posted by Rampant Coyote on May 19, 2011

I’ve had some serious distractions lately – pretty much since returning from my vacation. Besides catching up at the ol’ Day Job, I’ve had a number of games demanding my attention. Some you are probably familiar with (Portal 2, and The Witcher 2).  Others are indie games that you have probably heard a lot less […]

A New Wizardry – Kinda

Posted by Rampant Coyote on May 13, 2011

I’ve posted about this one briefly before. But I’m just sayin’ – I *would* be buying this if they port it to the PC. Not expecting that, but I would. Or for XBox, for that matter. Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls coming to the U.S. There are several PS3 exclusives that collectively almost convince me […]

Craig sent me some new screenshots from his upcoming game Telepath RPG: Servants of God. SPOILER WARNING!!!! Read no further if you want to play this game untarnished with spoilers. The following is a spoiler, but not a big one. More of a teaser as far as I’m concerned, but still, I thought I’d warn […]

Quick Take – Din’s Curse: Demon War

Posted by Rampant Coyote on March 2, 2011

I played a bit of the new expansion for Din’s Curse – Demon War over the weekend. I call it “work” as a justification. You know, so I could tell you about it and stuff. In reality, I’ve gotten myself hooked all over again. Sigh. I’ve gushed a bit in the past about the original […]

Demon War Now Available

Posted by Rampant Coyote on February 24, 2011

I’ll do a bigger post on it once I have a chance to play it, but Soldak Entertainment has now officially released the expansion for their butt-kicking highly dynamic action-RPG Din’s Curse.  Of which I am a fan. I am a little terrified of the expansion, as I remember how many hours I lost ‘reviewing’ […]

Twelve Games of Christmas #12 – The Fae’s Wyrd

Posted by Rampant Coyote on December 24, 2010

It is hard for me not to wear my developer hat prominently on this blog. I get fascinated by developer stories, and seeing the process by which games get created by different teams. That part – the story behind the game – is often more interesting to me than the game itself. I’m not sure […]

Twelve Games of Christmas #11 – Puzzle Bots

Posted by Rampant Coyote on December 23, 2010

I talk here about old-school style cRPGs a lot. I do miss the heady days of massive mainstream releases that were so huge I couldn’t keep up, with titles like Ultima VII and Darklands and Wizardry 7 and Eye of the Beholder getting announced on a quarterly basis. Those days, it felt like it just […]

Twelve Games of Christmas #10 – Dawn’s Light Christmas Tales

Posted by Rampant Coyote on December 22, 2010

It seems only appropriate that among the “Games of Christmas” I wanted to point out this month that I include some actual Christmas-themed games. Today I’m going to sneak a pair of games in as a single entry. What’s better is that they are RPGs. What’s even better is that they are free. Last year, […]

Twelve Games of Christmas #9 – The Witch and the Warrior

Posted by Rampant Coyote on December 21, 2010

I guess it’s okay to call indie RPG developer Eridani Games a “Scottish Developer.” Founder Jill Shiels is from Scotland, and according to her forum signature is still there. However, with many indie studios,  a game company may technically be a one-man or one-woman operation, but the games are made by the labor of many […]

DarkLight Dungeon Interview

Posted by Rampant Coyote on December 20, 2010

Last week, Jesse Zoeller of ZoellerSoft took some time to answer some questions for me about his new game, DarkLight Dungeon. DarkLight Dungeon is an old-school style single-player dungeon crawler. The full version releases TODAY, so coolness should ensue for fans of this style of RPG. So here’s what he had to say about becoming […]

Twelve Games of Christmas #8 – DarkLight Dungeon

And for ambitious dungeon explorers, it comes with a potential real-life bonus: A $100 prize to the first player to solve an in-game challenge. So what is DarkLight Dungeon? It’s an indie first-person dungeon crawler of a definitely old-school western RPG persuasion. It features turn-based, menu-oriented […]

Twelve Games of Christmas #7 – Lilly and Sasha: Nexus of Souls

Posted by Rampant Coyote on December 19, 2010

So for indie game #7, I thought I’d note indie RPG Lilly and Sasha: Nexus of Souls.  The second game of the series by John Wizard Games, this one literally picks up immediately where the last one ended in something of a cliffhanger. I would not be surprised if this second one ends much the […]

Twelve Games of Christmas #6 – Hegemony: Philip of Macedon

Posted by Rampant Coyote on December 18, 2010

Hegemony: Philip of Macedon is a game I only discovered a few weeks ago myself. It’s an unusual real-time strategy game with, like, real strategy.  It is the kind of game we dreamed of seeing as a AAA game years ago, but the technology wasn’t there yet. By the time technology caught up, the mainstream […]
