A Hacking Game Where You Hijack the US Government

Anyone remember Uplink? Yeah, this game is like that, only not thirteen years old. Disrupt, as it’s called, is a deceptively simple-looking game, much like Uplink. It’s mostly text-based, as you can see in the trailer below: In-game, you’re a hacker who manages to gain access to the government’s NexOS, which gives you the ability…

That retro 3D roguelike-ish beat ’em up about dystopian robot love is now on Kickstarter. They aim to collect $20,000 to finish development on Heart&Slash.

Strider’s 25-Year History In Just Five Minutes

In 1989, marking the start of the blue-clad ninja’s two-and-a-half decade career, the first Strider game was released in arcades throughout Japan and North America. From then on, it was a road filled with cameos, curious localization decisions, and slashed-up baddies. To celebrate the upcoming reboot of the platformer series, Capcom lovingly crafted a short…

Indie Beat ‘Em Up Proves There’s No Love Like Robot Love

Poorly-explained, vague robot love at that. The best kind. What we have here is Heart&Slash, a retro-ish 3D beat ’em up with roguelike elements. The developer wanted to combine the fast-paced combat of brawlers like Bayonetta with the huge number of customization options seen in roguelike RPGs—basically, you’re a robot, and as you beat up…

Everquest Next Landmark might be in early alpha, but that doesn’t mean its players are any less creative.
