Devolver Digital is known for showcasing unique and interesting indie games at their events, and this year’s Summer Game Fest was no exception. One standout title that caught the attention of many viewers was Possessor, a slick side-scrolling action game from the creators of Solar Ash and Hyper Light games. The game features stunning visuals and promises to offer plenty of challenging gameplay.
In Possessor, players take on the roles of Luca, the host, and Rehm, her less-than-cooperative counterpart, as they navigate a quarantined city devastated by an interdimensional catastrophe. Their survival depends on their ability to learn to coexist, adding an intriguing dynamic to the gameplay.
Another exciting reveal from Devolver Digital was Tenjutsu, the debut title from Deepnight Games, a one-person studio led by Sébastien Benard, known for his work on Dead Cells. This action-packed game puts players in the shoes of a renegade yakuza navigating the criminal underworld. With its mix of pixel art visuals and fast-paced combat, Tenjutsu promises to deliver a thrilling gaming experience reminiscent of classic retro games.
For fans of quirky and irreverent games, Devolver Digital unveiled Death’s Door, a first-person shooter with a unique twist – players must not only shoot their way through enemies but also engage in a lot of kicking and collect sneakers along the way. Developed by Free Lives, the studio behind Broforce and Cricket Through the Ages, Death’s Door is set to be a comically violent and action-packed experience when it launches this summer.
The Crush House introduces an intriguing concept for a strategy game, putting players in charge of producing a reality TV show set in 1999. While the initial premise may seem light-hearted, there are darker mysteries to uncover as players explore the house at night. Developed by Nerial, the studio behind the Reigns series, The Crush House promises to offer a unique blend of strategic gameplay and narrative depth.
In addition to showcasing new indie titles, Devolver Digital also announced updates for two of its popular games. Cult of the Lamb, the cult simulator that has captivated players with its charm, is receiving an Unholy Alliance expansion on August 12th. This free update introduces new quests, gear, and items, along with a co-op mode for players to enjoy with friends.
Meanwhile, The Talos Principle 2 is receiving its Road to Elysium expansion on June 14th. This expansion brings a host of new challenges across three distinct chapters, each with its own storyline and aesthetic. Fans of cerebral puzzlers can look forward to diving back into the world of The Talos Principle with this new content.
Overall, Devolver Digital’s presence at Summer Game Fest 2024 was marked by a diverse lineup of indie games, each offering a unique and engaging experience for players. With a mix of visually stunning titles, quirky gameplay mechanics, and intriguing narratives, these upcoming releases are sure to make a splash in the gaming world.
