Check, check and Check? Then “Dead Cells” might be interesting to you. The game oozes originality and polish already in its early stage, the combat looks satisfying as heck and versatile on top. However the long-term motivation needs to be proven, as this has always been a major problem with the roguelike genre.

With that said, this game might come out with its own flaws, but so far it is brimming with positive steam reviews, despite having started in Early Access just a few days ago. I’ll make sure to keep it very close on my radar.

Combine the looks of retro C64-inspired graphics with the flair of the 80ies. Add an awesome chiptune / synthwave soundtrack on top. Mix all that with solid exploration and fighting mechanics and you might even get near the awesome-levels of “Narita Boy”!

This 2D adventure looks like a perfect mixture between Swords and Sworcery, Hyper Light Drifter and Another World. The game is currently in a kickstarter campaign and I have zero doubt it will get the money required.

But don’t take my words – I just let the trailer speak for itself:

As you can easily see the trailer shows a high level of detail, craftsmanship and retro-inspired humor. The website has a ton of information about the game already, so be sure to check it out!
