Twelve Games of Christmas #5 – Ella’s Hope

Posted by Rampant Coyote on December 17, 2010

Today’s game is Ella’s Hope. This is a full-fledged RPG of the jRPG style which joins the ranks of the Aveyond series and Cute Knight series as a highly-recommended RPG to introduce someone – particularly but definitely not exclusively female – to the genre. It’s cute, straightforward, and girl-friendly. But it also has several difficulty […]

The Twelve Games of Christmas #4 – Laxius Force III: The Last Stand

Posted by Rampant Coyote on December 16, 2010

I wish I could say I’d completed all of the Laxius Force games.  But frankly, they are huge… but at least they are reasonably self-contained. They share common characters and story threads, but they are easy enough to jump into without feeling too lost. Or you can feel very lost, if you don’t enjoy the […]

The Twelve Games of Christmas #3 – Telepath RPG: Servants of God

Posted by Rampant Coyote on December 15, 2010

So while my intention for the whole Twelve Games of Christmas thing was to draw your attention to some recent-but-not-totally-new games that you (and I) may have overlooked over the last few weeks / months, there are some new releases I don’t want to neglect. And this one is, I believe, a good’n. And so […]

The Twelve Games of Christmas #2 – The Humble Indie Bundle #2

Posted by Rampant Coyote on December 14, 2010

So the second indie “game of Chistmas” isn’t so much a game as five games. And charity. And gift-able. The Humble Indie Bundle is at it again. With a second bundle. This one contains the indie games Braid, Osmos, Revenge of the Titans, Machinarium, and Cortex Command.  You pay whatever you want. And you decide […]

The Twelve Games of Christmas #1 – A Kingdom for Keflings

Posted by Rampant Coyote on

I’m only human. (Maybe if I was actually part-coyote, I wouldn’t have this problem). Between blogging ~5 times a week, frantically trying to finish a relatively major indie game, and running an indie games website all in what was once, long ago, called my “spare time,” things fall through the cracks. Sure, sure, I could […]

Torchlight 2?

Posted by Rampant Coyote on August 4, 2010

Hat tip to RPGWatch for this one – Torchlight II Announced Huh. I thought they were going straight into MMO-land with this. But they are saying Torchlight II will include peer-to-peer matchmaking. That’s kind of an unusual MMO strategy. Or maybe they realized an MMO would take a lot more time than they anticipated, and […]

Game Announcement – Deadly Sin 2: Shining Faith

Posted by Rampant Coyote on July 12, 2010

I had some good things to say about the indie RPG Deadly Sin when it was first released. Solid story, fantastic musical score, inventive tactical twists on a turn-based combat system, solid graphics. It’s a solid title that I recommend checking out. The release of the sequel, Deadly Sin 2: Shining Faith, proves that the […]

Posted by Rampant Coyote on July 9, 2010

Mardek Chapter 3, a Flash-based RPG, is now out. Its predecessors have also received an update. Mardek Chapter 1 Mardek Chapter 2 Mardek Chapter 3 I haven’t played these games before.

Underworld

Posted by Rampant Coyote on July 8, 2010

I’ve been a little negligent in talking about an indie RPG that’s been out a couple of months now, which embraces the “old-school” western RPG style of the 1980s. Entitled Underworld (or more fully, “Swords and Sorcery Underworld” – to distinguish it from the Ultima kind, I imagine…), it draws inspiration from the early Might […]

Eschalon: Book II – Mac and Linux Versions Now Available

Posted by Rampant Coyote on May 27, 2010

Sweet old-school RPG action – now available on Mac and Linux: Download  Eschalon: Book II for Windows, Mac, OR Linux. The game has been updated to version 1.03, now. As I understand, no real massive game-destroying bugs have been found, mainly small bugs, rare crashes, and typos. I’m kinda jealous. I’ve been swamped with development […]

Eschalon: Book II Now Available At Rampant Games

Posted by Rampant Coyote on May 14, 2010

I finally got the chance to play Eschalon: Book II. And I’m kinda embarrassed about it, because I started giggling like a schoolgirl halfway through the character creation process. Okay, part of that was probably because I’ve been punchy from not getting nearly enough sleep this week, but still…  I was really in the mood […]

Eschalon: Book 2

Posted by Rampant Coyote on May 12, 2010

It’s out. Now. Eschalon: Book II Yeah. Been waiting a while for this one.  I know a lot of you have, too.  If you are into old-school PC-style RPGs, with all that depth and open-world exploration, you are in luck. Familiarity with the first game, Eschalon: Book 1, is not necessary for the sequel. As […]

Craig Stern of Sinister Design has released “the first” playable demo of his upcoming indie RPG, Telepath RPG: Servants of God. If you’ve played his tactics game, Telepath Psy Arena 2, then you may have some idea of what’s in store. But the RPG has much more story and character involvement. As he explains it: […]
