What are some good indie games /v/?
Just finished this, expected 2deep4u retro shit but it was a really tight game with some nice tunes.
>>272989134
What are you looking for?
Challenge?
Unique gameplay?
Just something interesting and unusual?
I'm not really sure what to recommend unless you give me a better idea than "good". I could probably name a number of indie games that are good for various reasons, but that doesn't mean you'd like them just because of that.
>>272989134
oh shit i'm sorry
>>272989134
Papers please
Super Hexagon
Shovel Knight
>>272990453
Sorry for what? Our daddy taught us not to be ashamed of our dicks. Specially cause they're such good size an' all.
Rogue Legacy
Electronic Super Joy
Organ Trail
Retro City Rampage
Volgarr the Viking
Closure
Braid
Thomas Was Alone
Knytt Underground
Shovel Knight
Lone Survivor
There's tons of good ones, but this is all I can think of right now.
>>272990620
Derp, Binding of Isaac. Probably the best one.
People already mentioned some of the better ones.
Offspring Fling
Bastion
>The Battle for Wesnoth
Turn-based strategy game.
Similar to Fire Emblem & Advance Wars.
It's open-source and has huge replayability.
>Monaco: What's Yours is Mine
4 player co-op heist game. Pacman meets Metal Gear Solid. If you like the movie "Ocean's Eleven" where they rob a casino, you'll love this game.
>>272990620
Retro City Rampage was fucking shit
>>272990895
Wow, your unwarranted opinion is such a good contribution to the thread. Thank you.
wesnoth
TBoI and Rebirth
Risk of Rain
Toribash
FTL
Just a few of my favorites
>>272991025
Castle Crashers and Super Meat Boy.
And like, everything else Edmund McMillan has worked on.
Seriously, the guy is consistently great.
>>272991205
Didn't mean to reply.
Binding of Isaac
Don't Starve
FTL
Rogue Legacy
Bastion
Shovel Knight
Papers, Please
Hotline Miami
Terraria
Risk of Rain
Was Mark of the Ninja indie? Was pretty solid.
The similar retro themed and adrenaline-pumped music to vvvvvv would be Super Hexagon.
The indie games I highly recommend are:
>Hotline Miami (Sequel is coming out; hyped)
>FTL
>Papers, Please
>Terraria (A lot of fun playing by yourself, and crazy fun with friends)
>Risk of Rain
>Binding of Isaac (I suggest waiting for the Rebirth edition to be on sale)
>Don't Starve (Free multiplayer patch is coming)
>Starboundloljk
>>272989134
Freedom Planet
>>272991606
I honestly don't see what everyone's beef with Starbound is.
Yeah, okay, the devs gave up, but still if you pirate it it's still a pretty decent game.
>>272991839
Because it was hyped as the next terraria for years, and instead we got a empty pile of shit game, with dungeons that serve no purpose, and a boring progression system.
>>272990593
Yeah, I see that. Your daddy gave you good advice.
>>272991970
so basically minecraft?
La-Mulana
>>272989134
Is this game good?
not sure I'f I might like it.
>>272992448
Gravity puzzles.
>>272992487
Yeah I see that but it still looks like a simple game.
>>272992448
It's really good, if you're into the kind of gameplay it has.
It's got a free demo on Steam, I'd recommend giving it a shot.
It's also short as fuck, though. My first non-100% playthrough took just about 2 hours.
Iji
>>272991970
But it isn't even done yet. Why does EVERYONE fail to understand that games take a LONG FUCKING TIME to make? Early Access games just let you get to watch that long (boring-ass and unfulfilling) process.
>>272992729
Dude, stop. It hasn't been updated in like, 2 years, the developers have fucked off.
Face it, Starbound is dead.
>>272992594
It's most definitely not.

Goddamn I wanted to kill myself when I tried to get that thing.
>>272992989

every time.
Are there any goodnon-retro panderingindie games?
>>272992989
Game is good but the video you linked are the only challenge of the game. Rest of the game is pretty easy.
>>272992847
>Starbound is dead.
It was stillborn m8.
>>272993420
Hah, good point.
Transistor.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
Xenoblade Chronicles
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
Age of Empires 2 + The Conquerors
Shadow of the Colossus
Final Fantasy Tactics
Tactics Ogre Let Us Cling Together
Chrono Trigger
>>272993183
TFW you finally do it.
>almost everyone just posting Steamshit
I fucking hate you underage people.
Post indie games that aren't from steam.
>>272993907
...
Those are not indie games.
>>272994081
...
How do you figure they aren't?
>>272994127
Because they are not made by independant developers.
They are made by companies.
>>272992989
>mfw all that music
>>272994018
The ones you posted aren't that good, though.
>>272994325
bait
>>272994198
They were made by independent developers though. For example Square funded, developed and published Chrono Trigger independently.
La Mulana
Mark of the Ninja
Amnesia
Those are my favourites, disappointed that no one ever mentions them in these threads despite the fact that they're all fairly popular.
Renegade-X
>>272994423
Fire Emblem was published by Nintendo, e.g.
It just looks like a list of games you like, really.
>>272994510
It's weird, yeah. I guess it's assumed most people on /v/ have played those already.
>>272994669
>Fire Emblem was published by Nintendo
And developed by Nintendo too. Independent, you see.
>It just looks like a list of games you like, really.
Yes, that seems to be the point of the thread. Posting indie games you like.
Don't play Risk of Rain
It's fucking horrible
>>272994813
>>272994423
>this smart cunt
Fuck off faggot, you're not clever.
>>272994925
How would you know? You don't know me and I haven't made any attempt to display that. You make it pretty evident that you're retarded though.
Any of y'all niggas played Ziggurat?
>>272989134
Valdis Story.
Gunpoint.
>>272994813
Yeah, sorry about that. Read Intelligent Systems and didn't notice they were part of Nintendo.
You're still kind of being anal about the subject, though. You know what OP meant by "indie", and I think everybody here has already figured out indie and independent have come to mean slightly different things these past few years. You're not opening anybody's eyes, if anything you're just flaunting your knowledge of something obvious.
>>272995261
I went through first 3 like levels and got bored.
Will it offer more variety or it's always a "shoot a boring magic into the boring enemies and get a boring powerups on levelup"?
>>272995439
I haven't actually played it but that's pretty much it I think. Kind of like a Serious Sam but with permadeath and different characters.
>>272989134
1001 Spikes

>You know what OP meant by "indie"
Indie games, I assumed.
>have come to mean slightly different things these past few years
I always thought indie means indie. Indie not meaning indie would be pretty damn stupid and I don't feel the need to act stupid just because there are some ignorant people out there.
>you're just flaunting your knowledge of something obvious
Flaunting? OP made a request and I tried to help him.
>>272995702
>I am a boring pedantic cunt
We get it nigga, jesus christ.
>>272995883
>I'm dumb as shit and people who aren't must be pedantic and try to be clever!!!
We get it nigga, jesus christ.
>>272995994
You came in to a thread recommending games that everyone and their fucking grandma has heard of to make a really fucking inane point.
You are being pedantic and you are a boring cunt.
We get it, they're technically indie games. But when someone asks for an FPS you don't say Doom.
>>272996181
>inane point!
>pedantic!
I didn't come to make a point. I came to list good indie games, as OP requested. If that's inane, you shouldn't even be in this thread. It's not my fault that you're simply less intelligent than grade schooler, people have to spoonfeed things to your retarded ass, and when they do you find it pedantic somehow.
>someone asks for an FPS you don't say Doom
You do, if you consider Doom a good FPS game.
>>272989134
Streets of Rage Remake. And it's free.
>>272993174
This game is sick. It's balls hard and I can't actually beat it but I had a ton of fun with it
>>272993907
you are one of history's most distinguished annoying retards
>>272996474
>You do, if you consider Doom a good FPS game.
God you're a fucking moron.
>I want a sports game!
>Try Pong
>I want a platformer!
>The Mario games are pretty cool.
>I want an indie game!
>Try Shadow of the Colossus
>>272996723
Awww, poor baby finds people answering OP's question annoying. How awful, boo hoo.
Fuck off, you monkey.
>>272996938
>what are some good X games
>DON'T YOU DARE LIST GOOD X GAMES
God, you're a fucking moron.
>>272996951
When you have three people calling you an idiot and no one appreciating your input, maybe it's time to rethink your approach.
>>272997004
>I am completely oblivious to tone and context!
Just how far along the fucking 'tism spectrum are you?
>>272997027
>if there are retarded people, you need to be retarded too!
Great thinking, son.
what a terrible thread
C'mon y'all, can you stop being baited so hard and obviously?
>>272997124
>a simple question opening a thread, no context or tone to it
>you shouldn't be recommending good games even though he asked for it because of my super hidden meanings!!!
Just how far along the fucking 'tism spectrum are you?
>>272997194
>If three people are calling you a retard, don't engage in even the slightest bit of introspection, just throw out as many stock insults as you can.
>>272997332
>no context or tone to it
And there we have it. You're a fucking moron.
>>272989134
Muh Freedoms Planet
>>272992029
it gets bigger when I pull it
Try antichamber or spacechem if you appreciate puzzles.
>>272997353
or more like
>engage in introspection
>realize they're embarrassingly fucking stupid
>be glad that you're not subhuman shit like them and don't "rethink your approach" just because they are
>>272997419
>there's context and tone to it that changes the meaning
And there we have it. You're a fucking moron.
>>272996723
Oh I ain't mad, in fact I'm about to get some breakfast so I'm doing good. But that won't change that you're a smug little piece of shit who wouldn't get invited to his own funeral. See you around
>>272997678
>>272996951
Woops, I replied to my own post instead of yours
I think it's the ingame artstyle that puts people off.
>>272997678
It's okay to be dumber than a piece of shit, anon. Not your fault, nature just had a bad day when you were conceived. See you around.
>>272990620
>>272991390
The only really good thing about rogue legacy are the super bosses.
Which is ironic because by their very definition they betray the core tenet of the game.I can't fucking beat the super version of the fire one that chases you around and leaves balls of fire behind.
>>272989134
Magical Battle Festa. It has loli too. The perfect combo for a video game.
>>272995647
Dustforce is ebin.

>68 minutes on final dreadnought 2
What the fuck are you doing
Also why is the room purple?
>>272998118
The dragon was OP as fuck though. I remember easily beating multiple bosses in one run as the dragon.
It was already mentioned, but 1001 Spikes is the best platformer I've played for years. Absolutely recommend picking it up (you get a discount on steam if you already own Cave Story+)
Cave Story
>>272997542
MMMMMMMMMmmmmmm
>>272993348
papers, please?
I mean, I don't think it panders to anything since it's one of the only (if not the only) game with its premise
>ctrl+f
>no Aquaria
every time
>>273002761
Audiovisuals of Papers, Please are clearly made for the retroshit demographic
Sir, you are being hunted is a okay game if you like Survival games where you are helpless and have to sneak around or you die horribly.
>>273002938
oh, now I know what you mean
what about guacamelee? it's a 2D sidescroller but with graphics way beyong pixel-art and great music
>>273002165
Meh, not attracted by it at all. It's a "Hard" game ala "I wanna be the guy" where the game main thing is being cheap.
>>272990620
Knytt underground is shit
>>273003257
Never looked into it. What is it like?
>>273003349
Metroid, but with luchadores and some stupid meme jokes.
I enjoyed it.
>>273003407
Eh, not too big on metroidvania.
who the fuck calls their game vvvvvv?
>>273003448
there's audiosurf if you're into rhythm games
>>273003632
everyone does, get with the times, grandpa
>>273003632
No one.
IT's called 'The letter v six times'
>>273003687
>audiosurf
already played
>>273003745
Or is it "the letter w 3 times"?

The dash in Valdis Story made that game feel so much better.
Also Dustforce.

Yiff in hell
>>273005290
It is, but it has an ending and a pretty good one at that. The demo could be taken as its own game if you wanted.
>>273005365
Anthropomorphic animals as characters does not make a game shit anon.
In some cases they can even make a character more endearing.
You need an xbox controller, but this game is the shit
