<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWe love roguelikes, and Battle Shapers is an FPS sci-fi roguelike which lets you steal powers from ruthless robot overlords and, if we\u2019re being honest, it sounds a lot like an FPS Mega Man game. That couldn\u2019t be more of a compliment if we tried, and the graphics, absurd abilities, and over-the-top guns are all going to carry you home. Or to our deaths. Or maybe to victory. It\u2019ll be fun no matter where you end up though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWe just wrote about the best stealth games, but it could well be that The Lamplighters League ends up being on that list once it\u2019s out. This game sees you recruiting a team of people with unique abilities and then guiding them through various levels trying to find the Banished Court and stop them being all evil and stuff. You get to do real-time sneaking, and if you\u2019re caught, you then get to fight it out in turn-based combat. It just looks fun, and Harebrained Schemes, the developer, has a good pedigree of games behind them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhile we\u2019re on the subject of pretty games, Worldless fits into that category very easily. You take control of a shape with some weapons that can jump (we\u2019re not sure how else to describe it), and you need to explore two different realms as you continue on your adventure. Combat is actually turn-based, but exploitation is fairly free-form and looks more like a classic Metroidvania. The art style is also beautifully abstract, and the soundtrack is already incredible based on just the trailers alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nStop Dead is a game where if you stop you\u2019ll die, and it looks like a mix of Psy-Ops, Neon White, and Mirror\u2019s Edge. You take control of a telekinetic heroine who can use pretty much anything as a weapon in order to try and take down a rogue AI, who\u2019s decided humans sort of suck and deserve to die. The game has 40 levels to blitz through, and we have a feeling this will be a good one for those who like to seek perfection in their speedruns, although the novel combat should make it good for those of us with other hobbies too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dark Envoy<\/a> – 24<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nOur second game on this list with both guns and magic is Dark Envoy, a new RPG with tactical real-time combat. It also has online co-op, and nothing\u2019s better than playing with your friends on the one night a month you both find time to do so. As your party is battling it out, you can briefly pause time to unleash magical skills to take out groups of enemies, separate them from their friends, or cut off their escape routes. There are multiple classes too, which should make for some good replayability if the story is worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ghostrunner 2<\/a> – 26<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nOur penultimate choice for October\u2019s indie games is Ghostrunner 2. This game describes itself as a \u201chardcore FPP slasher set in a post-apocalyptic cyberpunk future.\u201d We\u2019re going to describe it as a really fast-paced game where you get to control a cyberpunk ninja with a big old future sword who can do wall runs and stuff. The first game was magnificent, so we\u2019ve got high hopes for this one too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Headbangers: Rhythm Royale<\/a> – 31<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nYou might think that Headbangers: Rhythm Royale is going to be a follow-up to Brutal Legend, albeit with less Jack Black and more EpicFortniteGamer420, but you\u2019d be wrong. Well, maybe not about dear old EpicFortniteGamer420, but about it being anything to do with Brutal Legend. Instead, this rhythm battle royale game has you and 29 other pigeons competing against each other in lots of rhythm mini-games to see who is the most rhythmic of all. It looks like a nice change of pace, and we\u2019re up for becoming a master-level pigeon. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWe\u2019re not sure anyone would have thought a Hellboy game would be coming out that\u2019s a roguelike brawler, but we\u2019re pretty happy about it. This game\u2019s actually being made in partnership with the creator of Hellboy, Mike Mignola, and aside from the promise of lots of pummelling, we\u2019ve got to talk about the art direction. Lots of games get compared to comic books, but Hellboy looks exactly like a visual novel, and it\u2019s absurdly pretty as a result, the block colours and minimalistic detailing make for a feast for the eyes, so even if it\u2019s bad, it\u2019ll still look good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cavern of Dreams<\/a> – 19<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nCavern of Dreams is an N64-style 3D platformer where you play as Fynn the dragon. Your mission is to save your unhatched siblings from the titular Cavern of Dreams, and along the way, you\u2019ll get new abilities, solve loads of puzzles, and undoubtedly jump on a lot of things. Honestly though, we\u2019re just here for the hit of nostalgia this game is offering us, because in our youths we very briefly didn\u2019t have to pay bills, and that was great. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
