    Mina is Here! | The indieRift Podcast Episode 33

    On this week’ show Andy dives into Mina the Hollower, and Yacht Club absolutely nailed it. After years of anticipation, the wait was more than worth it. If you love video games even a little bit, buy this game immediately. Meanwhile, Matt checks out Rune Dice, a dopamine-fueled strategy roguelike that completely hijacked his simple gamer brain, and Stephen gives Mad King Redemption a fair but critical look as it stumbles through its current Early Access growing pains.   In Indie News for Yous, former Housemarque director Harry Krueger announces a brand-new studio that has us desperately hoping for more stylish, punishing, Returnal-inspired action games in the future. Plus, this week’s Wishlist Round-Up is absolutely stacked with THREE incredible indie games you need on your radar right now. We also crack open the mailbag for one of our favorite community sections yet with great questions, dumb tangents, and the usual chaotic energy.    What’s New On indieRift.com:   Motorslice | Review – indieRift https://indierift.com/motorslice-review/  Thrifty Business | Review – indieRift https://indierift.com/thrifty-business-review/  Mention weekly indie highlights!

    Is Silksong Too Cheap?! | indieRift Podcast Episode 29

    The boys are back, and this week we’re talking about all the standout indies you need to know about!  The Dark Queen of Mortholme flips the script by putting you in the role of the final boss, giving the classic fantasy tale a wicked twist, while Quartet channels pure SNES energy with an ensemble-driven RPG adventure. In the Indie News Report, we cover big beats like DUCKSIDE hitting consoles, Hell is Us finally out, and upcoming early access launches for SWAPMEAT and Long Drive North. And yes… the Hollow Knight: Silksong drama continues — with debates over its $20 price tag, difficulty discourse, and even pirates begging others not to pirate it.

    Indies Run From Silksong! | indieRift Podcast Episode 28

    The boys are back, and this week it’s less about what’s coming out, and more about what’s not! Because the unstoppable force that is Hollow Knight: Silksong has officially set a release date (September 4th) and the indie world is SCRAMBLING to get out of its way. We’re talking delays, reshuffles, and developers openly admitting they don’t want to compete with the bug-god of metroidvanias. But it’s not all delays! There are plenty of fresh drops and surprises!

    The boys are back, and this week we’re talking all about the Indie World Showcase! Nintendo blessed us with a staggering, mind-blowing, world-changing… 15 minutes on indie game goodness (Truly, how do they do it?) In that quarter-hour of pixel-packed glory, we got release dates for some of our most anticipated titles — like Demonschool, coming September 3rd — and fresh reveals, including Well Dweller, a slick new Metroidvania from Kyle Thompson, the creator of Crypt Custodian. We also dive into some incredible wishlist-worthy finds like Ghost Easter a black-and-white hack-and-slash with a killer visual style and Star Fire: Eternal Cycle, a love letter to classic arcade side-scrollers!

    Are Indie Games the Future of Game Development? | the indieRift Podcast #26

    This week’s big headline is a legendary one. John Romero, the mind behind DOOM, says indie games aren’t just shaping the industry… they’re the future of game development. Andy & Steve break down what that means for devs, players, and the next wave of creativity. Of course, it wouldn’t be the show without some killer game spotlights, so we’re diving into the mysteries of Death Stranding 2, the musical mayhem of Fretless, and a cursed doll Kickstarter you definitely shouldn’t trust...but should probably give all your money to.
