From there, it’s a frantic hail of bullets and footwork through shitty apartments, as you unleash that devastating kick on the enemies who come in close while shooting the others out of range (naturally, they withstand a bullet better than a kick).īest of all, bashing in each door triggers a thumping explosion of more bass, courtesy of the speakers that serve as the primary form of adornment alongside hideous rugs, free-hanging lightbulbs, posters for Maniac Cop, and a remarkable number of toilets.

You boot doors off their hinges and send them flying clear to the opposite wall, mashing any gun-toting goons unlucky enough to be caught in the middle. Pay what you want ( Itch ) | Robbie Fraser, Luc Wolthers, Jason Sutherlandīetween your ludicrous punting power in Cruelty Squad and the return of the Anti-Object Task Force in Disco Elysium ’s final cut, the last few months have not been short on video games that let you kick stuff. So I am grateful to some of the dedicated sites for these sorts of games that I frequently check, which make the job of sifting through a never-ending “new releases” list just a little bit easier: the Indie Game Website, Indie Games Plus, Warp Door, and Itch’s own featured section. Lastly and most importantly, there’s no easy way to keep track of all indie releases since a good number of them are released without the benefit of a publisher to little resulting fanfare. It’s a broad mix further cut down to the ones that appeal the most to me personally. Some are free, some are paid, and some can be free but leave the option to pay a little something if you’ve got the cash to spare. Some are further under the radar than others, with no unifying theme and in no specific order beyond the fact that they’re all under a year old.

Here’s the drill in case you haven’t read the other ones : all these games are under-the-radar in some capacity compared to the big releases that aren’t exactly flooding the market right now anyway.
