A special time for us gamers: The E3 is close! And this year, LadiesGamers is proud to be a part of it all this time. Yes, in virtual form, but still: to be a part of the yearly event as a media outlet feels very cool! The E3 starts on June 12 and ends on June 15, but in the days leading up to it, we will see a lot of gaming news and broadcasts. Like this Guerrilla Collective.
The Guerrilla Collective kicks off today with the first of a two-day show with all kinds of indie goodness showing! Let’s look at what stood out most for us.
Omno (Switch, PC, PS4, Xbox One)
A single-player journey of discovery through an ancient world of wonders. Full of puzzles, secrets and obstacles to overcome, where the power of a lost civilisation will carry you through forests, deserts and tundras – even to the clouds.
Tinkertown (PC)
Gather your friends and come to Tinkertown – A refreshing new Multiplayer Sandbox Experience! Explore magical places filled with loot, danger, and creativity.
Gather resources as you explore this procedurally generated world either by yourself or with friends! Need some extra challenge? While the surface world is mostly peaceful, only the most courageous explorers will enter the sinister dungeons scattered around the world, and defeat the horrors that live within. Epic loot awaits those who dare to face the underworld.
Fire Tonight (Switch, PC and Mac)
Fire Tonight is a narrative puzzle game set in 1990 following a couple’s quest to reunite in a city on fire.
Follow Maya’s quest across a maze-like city set ablaze. Traverse city blocks while avoiding fires and solving light puzzles to keep moving forward and find Devin’s apartment. Devin anxiously awaits Maya’s arrival and reminisces about their time together as he looks at all the mementoes scattered around his apartment.
Beasts of Maravilla Island (PC and Switch)
Beasts of Maravilla Island is a 3D adventure game where you take on the role of a young wildlife photographer who traverses Maravilla Island’s magical ecosystems to discover extraordinary creatures, learn their behaviours, and, most importantly, photograph their majesty.
Of course, Paula already checked out the Beasts of Maravilla Island Steam Demo Impressions, so check that out too!
Onsen Master (PC, PS, Xbox)
Onsen Master is a hot spring customer management game where players must create ingredients to match the various customer ailments, across the fantasy island of Izajima!
Revitalize various onsen across the fantasy island of Izajima! Reconnect the communities that surround the onsen and discover the supernatural world that they’ve long since been disconnected from.
The Eternal Cylinder (PC, PS4 and Xbox one)
In The Eternal Cylinder, players control a herd of adorable creatures called Trebhums and must explore a strange alien world filled with exotic lifeforms, surreal environments, and the constant threat of the Cylinder, a gargantuan rolling structure of ancient origin that crushes everything in its path. In this unique alien ecosystem, real-time world destruction, animal AI, and organic exploration and puzzle design all combine to deliver an unforgettable adventure.
Your Trebhums begin at the bottom of the natural food chain but can mutate and evolve with new physical attributes and abilities by eating a variety of flora and fauna. Discover and adapt dozens of mutations, including new traversal skills like flying and swimming to reach new areas, and new senses to help overcome puzzles and dangers. Your many Trebhums can each have different mutations, empowering you to create a unique herd. Each mutation will also change the physical look of a Trebhum and stacking these will generate surprising new creature designs that players will be able to organically discover as they explore this unique alien world.
The Lightbringer (PC and Switch)
The Lightbringer is a poetic adventure/puzzle platformer with light combat elements, set in a beautiful world claimed by a vile corruption. Guided by your sister’s spirit, you must prevail where she could not.
The world is under siege by malicious corruption, targeting the ancient monoliths that gave power and light to these lands. As the chosen one, you have the ability to harness pure light energy from the air, the energy that will aid you in cleansing the monoliths to bring back their light. Cleanse the corruption, become The Lightbringer.
Ynglet (PC)
Swim, launch and bounce through this meditative floating platformer. A reactive soundscape creates the soundtrack to your exploration through the playful puzzles of Ynglet’s hand-drawn levels.
In Ynglet you jump between bubbles that float in the sky like you’re a space dolphin, as you melt into a highly reactive and dynamic soundtrack created by Ynglet’s custom (and needlessly complicated) music software! The hand-drawn art style takes a fresh ‘illustrated’ approach, reminiscent of expressive doodles come to life. There are lots of unusual creatures doing their own thing, making the world feel alive.
RPG Time: the Legend of Wright (PC, Xbox and mobile)
School’s out! Meet us in an empty classroom for a grand adventure with a young aspiring game developer and his very own RPG. You’re sure to be dazzled by his hand-drawn creations as you journey into the surprising and magical world of imagination!
Forget about homework! Come play “RPG Time: The Legend of Wright” with us!
Grow: Song of the Evertree (PC and Switch)
Over time, the Worlds of Alaria faded. The Evertree – where many worlds resided on its countless branches – is now nothing more than a sapling, its splendour long erased from memory. No one knows how to make it grow. But you are different. You hear the sun as it sings across the sky. You hear the language of rain against the earth. You are the last of the Everheart Alchemists and it is your ancestral task and privilege to care for the Evertree.
Find unique places, blooming with fantastic fauna and flora as you are encouraged to explore this beautiful world at your own pace. How do you want to spend your time? Exploring caves and solving puzzles, collecting minerals and flowers, fishing or catching bugs … it’s up to you!
RPGolf Legends (PC and Switch)
A unique game of “action-rpg-adventure-golf” that will take the player across a world where golf and monsters co-exist! Fight monsters, make allies, challenge other golfers, explore a huge world and most importantly, have the adventure of a lifetime!
