Dig deeply enough in <em>Shovel Knight Dig</em>, and you'll find trippy treasure just like this.

Shovel Knight Dig has been on our radar since its announcement in 2019—back when games could be revealed and immediately demonstrated at physical gaming expos. That many years ago, Dig was one of a few planned series spinoffs, and its demo at that year’s PAX West show floor filled me with dungeon-digging excitement.

This week, the series’ third formal spinoff finally goes on sale on PC, iOS, and Nintendo Switch, and in great news, Dig is easily the best Shovel Knight offshoot yet. What’s more, it stands out compared to other arcadey, action-focused roguelites, and the result feels like a depth-filled mod for the mobile classic Downwell.

A new pit stop on the randomly generated road

Lots of silly chatter surrounds a new massive chasm in this otherwise peaceful village.

Shovel Knight has reasons to dig with his namesake weapon in search of treasure, secrets, and revenge. If you’re interested in this character-filled story, Dig‘s interactions with beautifully drawn and animated animals are as charming as the plot found in the mainline series’ four campaigns. Or you can mash buttons to skip the dialogue and get to the satisfying digging.

  • Shovel Knight can dig left, right, and downward, but never upward. If you mash the dig button, he’ll keep going, even if there’s no ground beneath his feet to support his weight—and you’ll need to abuse this clever, Looney Tunes-esque mechanic to survive certain tricky races against time.

Control in this new 2D side-scrolling game resembles the mainline series, as well: Use an action button to swipe your shovel left or right (or downward if you hold down on the D-pad) while your hero lands from jumps and falls with his shovel facing downward, which not only harms vulnerable foes but also makes the Knight bounce upward off most stuff it contacts, except certain ground types. Instead of running left or right to a goal, Shovel Knight now digs downward through randomly generated levels (with a few left and right exceptions, usually found in the game’s wealth of hidden challenges).

Descent and other space shooters popularized six-degrees-of-freedom action, an interesting subgenre that has seen a small resurgence with games like Sublevel Zero and the upcoming Overload. Pixelpunk XL is an interesting take on the concept, presenting alien pixelated environments to fly and blast through.

The randomly-generated environments are constructed from odd pixelated rooms and tunnels, filled with tight corridors and sprawling open areas, shifting between inhuman architecture and twisting pipes. Enemy drones attack, as well as larger and odder bosses ships, forcing you to dodge and fire back with energy bolts and missiles and other weapons.

As you progress through stages, you encounter new bosses and different weapon types, all revolving around a lean variant on the subgenre focused on zero-gravity navigation through claustrophobic pipes and areas growing weirder and more dangerous.

Pixelpunk XL is available on Steam for $ 3.99; you can follow the developer on Twitter for more details on the game.

SYNTHETIK is a roguelite arcade shooter with randomized levels and fast-paced gameplay. These kinds of games feel awfully familiar by now. And yet, this one manages to stand out thanks to a couple of small design changes that have a big impact on how the game feels.

First, there’s weapon handling. When you empty your clip, you don’t just hit a key to reload. You hit another key to toss away your magazine and then you load your weapon again. This feels completely unnecessary at first, but it adds additional tension to the firefights and shakes up the whole feel, the rhythm of confrontations. This small extra step leads to a more deliberate sense of weapon handling, and it makes a huge difference.

Accuracy is another element that’s handled quite differently. Mousing over your enemies changes the size of your reticle (and thus your chance to hit the target), depending on factors such as distance, weapon range, and movement. Simply firing a few rounds in their general direction doesn’t do you much good. Positioning and timing are actually important! Pulling off a well-aimed headshot feels good. Even more so when you’re being swarmed by enemies and are forced to constantly move around.

There’s other neat stuff, such as online co-op, unlocking new equipment when leveling up, gigantic boss fights, and a rather lovely sound design where bullets go CLANK! as they meet their targets or ricochet from walls and containers.

What’s most impressive about SYNTHETIK is how just a few meaningful design changes can turn what would otherwise be a fairly run-of-the-mill shooter into something quite special. The game just launched in Early Access, but it will be fascinating to see where it goes from here.

SYNTHETIK is available as an Early Access title from itch.io and Steam. For more information, visit the game’s website and follow developer Flow Fire Games on Facebook and Twitter.

In the nearly four years that Vagante has expanded and improved within Early Access, the roguelite/roguelike platformer has seen a plethora of entries, all drawing from the influences of Spelunky (and perhaps Aaron Steed’s Red Rogue). Now, Vagante‘s slower, more deliberate take on the subgenre is out of Early Access.

Setting foot into the caverns and forests of Nuke Nine’s Vagante, your choice of class – rogue, wizard, blade-wielding knight, and more – will determine your approach. While others in the genre are more hectic, Vagante’s focus is careful and more deliberate combat, utilizing precise hack-and-slashing, equipping powerful loot, and unlocking class-unique skills that expand your moveset. Downward strikes, chain lightning, charge shots, and other abilties, along with perks and buffs from enhanced items, define your build and, better yet, let you create effective synergies when playing with a friend in co-op locally or online.

Traps, copious spikes, fearsome bosses, and a wealth of secrets await in Vagante‘s procedurally-generated stages, and the threat of permadeath looms over every battle won, every trap avoided and boss defeated.

Vagante is currently available for $ 14.99 (price increases to $ 17.99 on February 25th) on Steam and Humble.

Your dog has gone missing in an old factory filled with toxic waste and unsettling monsters, but there’s no way you;re letting your puppy pal get hurt in there. However, rushing in quickly causes some gross, but handy, mutations, and players will have to learn to deal with their never-ending array of changing powers and shifting limbs in Freaky Awesome.

Freaky Awesome tosses the player (and possibly up to four on- or offline co-op pals) into a randomly-generated factory, having them deal with an array of sickening mutants as they look for their dog. As enemies are defeated, each leaves behind a puddle of waste that players can pick up to heal themselves. However, each one of these they touch has a chance to mutate them, giving them different powers like throwing their own head to damage enemies, or creating vicious little clones of themselves.

The challenge in Freaky Awesome comes from constantly managing a surprising array of mutations and powers, learning what to do with each one as it unlocks. Players can steadily learn how they work and build up skill over time, which will help them take down the game’s colossal bosses (all of whom offer a neat power to offer the player who crawls around their oozy cast-offs). Should they die, they’ll lose all progress, but players will keep unlocked skills, items, and mutations, making it a little easier for the next run. Except the game unlocks harder enemies and locations on further runs, so things may balance themselves out no matter how good the player gets at predicting their next stomach-churning power.

Freaky Awesome is available for $ 9.99 on Steam. For more information on the game and developer Mandragora, you can head to the game’s site, the developer’s site, or follow them on Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.

The roguelite platformer, like Spelunky, Catacomb Kids, Cave Blazers, is often you against the environment, be it traps or enemies or tricky platforming. But in the pixel art caves of Noita, the environment is not just a threat; it’s a weapon, able to manipulated and molded to destroy your enemies.

And kill you too, if you’re not careful.

Crafted by a trio of developers who created (either alone or as part of a team) The Swapper, Environmental Station Alpha, and Crayon Physics, Noita unleashes your powerful magic upon a simulated dynamic world. Fluids slosh and flow, wood burns and shatters, ice melts and crumbles away, lava hardens into stone, water freezes, gas ignites, and so on. Your elemental magic can use those interactions to your advantage, filling an area with lava or cracking upon a vat of acid to flood a room.

Of course that means you have to be careful not to destroy yourself in the process, as the resulting physics simulation brings down the ceiling or sends you tumbling into the lake you just electrified. Your wizard will also have offensive spells to attack directly, and increased agility to leap and hover across the vast ruins and caverns, but as befitting a roguelite, the threat of permadeath looms over every risky manuever and fight.

Noita is slated to release on PC, first on Early Access, although there’s no release timeframe yet. You can find more details on the game and developer Nolla Games through their site and Twitter page.

Have you ever noticed how stingy some games can be when it comes to feeding you new, interesting things to see and do? Unlocking new stuff can feel like an uphill climb sometimes, making you fight for every scrap, every discovery. Not Rupeck Games’ Caveblazers, though! In the beginning, every new run feels like Christmas, rewarding you with exciting new sights, gameplay options, and ridiculous attire. You just have to love this game for its generosity.

Comparisons to Derek Yu’s Spelunky are, of course, inevitable. As an intrepid adventurer, you explore procedurally generated caves on the quest for fame and fortune. However, what sets Caveblazers apart is its pace. With its hectic, sometimes messy, fights and its huge arsenal of weaponry, the game feels much more like a proper action platformer.

Wielding both a meleee weapon and a fast-firing bow with unlimited ammunition, you take on hordes of enemies hell-bent on making you their next meal. Every couple of stages there are boss fights against extra large foes who feel just a tad too bullet-spongy for my taste. But then, I may just be frustrated by their difficulty, so don’t mind my complaints here.

The rest should feel familiar for friends of the genre: deep into the earth you go, hacking and slashing onwards, discovering runes, weapons, and mysterious new powers along the way. What will happen if you quaff this brown potion? Only one way to find out. (It’s probably poison. It always is.) You know the drill.

And this is where we circle back all the way to the beginning. Caveblazers works particularly well because it showers you with gifts and new stuff to discover, keeping you motivated throughout. For instance, unlockable traits allow you to completely change the gameplay. You can make your bow attack stronger, but you lose your melee weapon. This is stuff that makes you go “okay, let me try this real quick” and before you know it, you just put another couple of hours into the game.

While Caveblazers has a whole lot of extra features already, one thing I’m particularly looking forward to is its two-player co-op mode which will be released soon. Until then, daily runs with special modifiers and a truckload of other neat options should keep you busy. …And dressing up in those ridiculous outfits, of course.

You can purchase Caveblazers from the Humble Store or Steam for $ 9.99. For more information, visit the game’s website or follow developer Will Lewis on Twitter.

Space in Everspace isn’t some pitch-black abyss, darkness peppered with starlight. From the bright glare of suns and nebulae to the colored tails of homing missiles and arcs of lightning in energy fields, the galactic battlefields of Everspace are dense with color and chaos, as you fight against enemy squadrons and looming permadeath.

Combining intense dogfights inspired by Freespace, with the randomly generated thrills of the roguelite, Everspace drops your fighter into large environments to explore, scavenge, and fight: rocky planet rings, thick ice chunk fields, ship graveyards, amid orbiting stations and vessels. Your goal is to travel between jump gates, gathering fuel and fighting off foes while your jump recharges. Finding supply caches can provide you with powerful new weapons, abilities, and other loot to wield, and you’ll need them, as Everspace‘s battles are fast and relentless

Survival is all about evasive moment and persistent firepower, unleashing swarms of swirling missiles and thick lasers to cut through shields and hulls. Danger can and will through tense wrenches in your plans, whether it’s energy draining fields around dead ships to the capital ships warping in, dwarfing your fighter in size and firepower. You’ll need to fly defly, aim precisely, and unlock perks post-battle to gain an advantage over threats.

Everspace is available for $ 29.99 on Steam, Humble, GoG, and Xbox One.
