Fuck those jerks over at Filthy Burger. Seriously, fuck 'em. They think they can get more customers than me with fancy signs? Well... well, they might be right. » 2/26/15 10:40pm Thursday 10:40pm

This is Masquerada: Songs and Shadows, an isometric RPG "built in the vein of Baldur's Gate and Dragon Age". Looks cool! » 2/26/15 6:45pm Thursday 6:45pm

It's pretty easy to kill a villager in Besiege. But if everyone stopped at just "easy", this game wouldn't be where it is today. » 2/24/15 9:30pm Tuesday 9:30pm

To people who like 4x space strategy games: here is Falling Stars: War of Empires, a new 4x space strategy game that's got some surprisingly nice art for a genre in which you don't get to say that too often. And also a name that'll play nice with certain Steam searches, I bet. » 2/24/15 4:51pm Tuesday 4:51pm

The FMV-tastic indie spinning limousine simulator Roundabout is now available on Xbox One. Stephen Totilo said it was "fun." Luke Plunkett called it a "Masterclass in FMV." Leo Wichtowski spoke about it at length in his soothing voice. Ringing endorsements all 'round! » 2/21/15 3:39pm 2/21/15 3:39pm

This is the second time in two days I've seen a trailer for a game that's about building a castle by hand then trying to knock someone else's castle down. It's a...weirdly niche kind of genre, when you think about it, but if this is the latest thing people are rushing to try their hands at, then awesome. » 2/19/15 8:00pm 2/19/15 8:00pm

In case this trailer doesn't show you within five seconds, here it is from the developers themselves: "We were primarily inspired by Rust & Chivalry in the development of this game". » 2/18/15 10:30pm 2/18/15 10:30pm

You might remember that roguelike FPS Paranautical Activity was yanked—with a large cane of plus 12 unceremoniousness—from Steam after its developer threatened to kill Valve head Gabe Newell. Now, amazingly, it's back. I imagine it helps that the dev in question is no longer involved. » 2/17/15 8:30pm 2/17/15 8:30pm

When I first saw Offworld Trading Company, the videos were full of cute little spaceships on an alien planet...and while those things technically feature, this is not really a space strategy game. Despite the fact that the same guy who was lead designer on Civ IV was in charge of OTC's development, you're not getting… » 2/15/15 10:00pm 2/15/15 10:00pm

Dreeps is an RPG where you do almost nothing. And as terrible as that may seem, I actually kinda like the idea. » 2/15/15 9:00pm 2/15/15 9:00pm

Remember, not every "fantasy" world has to have knights and castles. Aurion, legacy of the Kori-Odan is a new game from a developer based in Cameroon that explores "a wonderful African Fantasy world". » 2/10/15 10:00pm 2/10/15 10:00pm

4PM came out a while ago, but I only discovered this strange oddity recently. All you need to know is there's a horrible man in the game called Keith. Keith is a jerk. Keith is your boss. » 2/06/15 1:30pm 2/06/15 1:30pm

We get a lot of people pitching their indie games to us here at Kotaku. Some of these pitches are dreadful, others tolerable, but sometimes you get one that just nails it. » 2/05/15 9:30pm 2/05/15 9:30pm

It's one of life's toughest challenges. Now it's one of video games' toughest challenges. » 1/29/15 10:00pm 1/29/15 10:00pm

Hey, it's Soren Johnson, of Civ III & IV fame! And now he and his team are making a new strategy game, called Offworld Trading Company, which is a very literal title for a game that's about trading on a world that is not this one. » 1/28/15 10:00pm 1/28/15 10:00pm

This Is The Police is a game about being a cop. A crooked one, who instead of hitting the streets and fighting crime is hitting the streets and trying to make as much dirty money as he can. » 1/27/15 9:00pm 1/27/15 9:00pm
