Good morning! We’ve spent quite a long while discussing beautiful little indie games, as well as some real chaff. This week, we get to focus on some major releases and redistributions. I am taking some time off my Tochlight II campaign to write up this feature only reluctantly, but there are some other gems in this short release list. Let’s get into them. F1 2012 A game which needs no introduction from Codemasters, a development house which does racing games...
The much-anticipated, much improved Torchlight II has been released! This top-down action-RPG for PC and Mac is a vast embetterment over the original title, and that one was excellent. Levelsave has secured a copy and will be reviewing it as soon as possible. We even have a bit of a surprise in store for you once our schedules are clear and the pots of coffee are brewed. Stay locked and pick up your copy of Torchlight II on Steam and the official website for $20 USD.
Hi there, folks! It’s been a while since I’ve posted any Let’s Play videos on Levelsave, and that’s not for no reason. The summer has been a hard road full of bunches of activity, but I’m at it again! I’ve teamed up with my friend Dono Goblin, as he is known, and we are occasionally getting together and playing video games. I once pressed record and it was a beautiful thing! Enjoy that first fateful video as we ~try~ to play A Virus Named...
As you are probably aware, there has been a big push for indie games lately. With Steam’s new Greenlight service being perfected as we speak, we are bound to see more and more indie games pop up on The Steamfeed on a weekly basis. These games tend to be affordable and consumable, which is exactly what developers need to stay afloat. This week is no exception as indie titles dominate the feature once again. Closure This light-based puzzler is cute and refreshingly...
I have recently had the pleasure of speaking with with Mark Jordan, a developer of Armada Online as well as the original Armada for the SEGA Dreamcast. Before getting in touch with him, I had never heard of the game, nor had I heard of it’s sequel. This struck me as a bit of a personal failure since I am so gung-ho about retro games and even own a Dreamcast, though there aren’t too many great exclusives for it anymore. Since then, I have been falling deeper and...
This week has seen the introduction of quite a few small-development games. Some of them with retro-style nostalgia working for them, and some of them utilizing modern ideas, engines, and gameplay, they all look pretty promising, so let’s get into it. The Basement Collection Edmund McMillan’s viral games are so addictive, unique, and filled with gameplay elements from my childhood, that I can’t stop playing them. Get it! The collection also features 2...
You are victorious! .. OK. I hate it when a game ends as well. I guess I can delete this game now. I know to beat all the levels in five different ways and I’m frankly bored with being human. Maybe I’ll go stand in line for Halo 4 or something. Red Wasp Design has heard your pitiful, lamenting cry and has returned to feed off your agony. They have returned with a book in hand: A thin, well thumbed book of great antiquity. Do you reach out and take hold of the...
Levelsave Editor Raven Poplar recently caught up with game developer, Mark Jordan, who helped make Armada, a space-shooter action/RPG for the SEGA Dreamcast. Let’s see what he’s up to these days, yes? Hey Mark, tell our readership who you are and what you’re doing. Hi, I’m Mark Jordan. I do art and design. With me is Roger Fang. He is a game programmer. We have been working together for 16 years or so. We are currently working on Armada...
Finally, with the summer coming to a close and children begrudgingly huffing off to school, a light begins shining in the first fallen leaves. It is a warm light, flickering and bobbing, offering hope to the downtrodden. It is the light of a torch, it is Torchlight II. Having played much too little of the beta, I am so pleased to announce that this game will be hitting digital shelves on September 20. We worked incredibly hard to make sure we could release Torchlight...
This week, Steam has seen the emergence and redistribution of some great games. More exciting than that, though, is the Greenlight system! Lots of indie titles can be voted on by the community to help get them a spot on the Steam New Releases list and, by proxy, the Steamfeed. This exciting new forum is the place where good-quality, though under-appreciated, releases like UNepic, Cards and Kingdoms, and Towns are being featured and await your vote. At any rate, this weeks...
