Devolver Digital is known for its quirky and offbeat approach to showcasing new games, and their presence at Summer Game Fest 2024 was no exception. Instead of bombarding viewers with a slew of titles, they chose to focus on a select few indie games that were both interesting and distinctive in their own right.
One of the standout titles from Devolver Digital’s showcase was Possessor, a side-scrolling action game created by the developers of Solar Ash and the Hyper Light games. The game introduces players to Luca and Rehm, two characters navigating a city that has been torn apart by an interdimensional catastrophe. The striking visual design of the game is matched by its challenging gameplay, promising an immersive experience for players.
Another intriguing title highlighted at the event was Tenjutsu, the debut release from Deepnight Games. Players take on the role of a renegade yakuza navigating the criminal underworld in this pixel art game with fast-paced action. With its retro aesthetic and promise of engaging gameplay, Tenjutsu is definitely one to watch out for in the upcoming year.
Kickmen, a unique first-person shooter from Free Lives, offers players a mix of combat and sneaker collection. From the creators of Broforce, this game promises to deliver both humor and violence in equal measure. With its summer release date approaching, Kickmen is sure to appeal to gamers looking for something fresh and exciting in the FPS genre.
The Crush House: A Strategy Game with a Mystery
The Crush House presents an intriguing concept for a strategy game, putting players in the role of a producer for a reality TV show set in 1999. While the game’s premise may seem lighthearted, there are hints of a darker undertone as players explore the house at night in search of hidden mysteries. Developed by Nerial, known for the Reigns series, The Crush House promises to be a unique and engaging experience.
Expansions and Updates
In addition to showcasing new titles, Devolver Digital also unveiled updates for two of their popular games. Cult of the Lamb will be receiving the Unholy Alliance expansion on August 12th, adding new quests, gear, and a co-op mode for players to enjoy. Meanwhile, The Talos Principle 2’s Road to Elysium expansion, set to release on June 14th, introduces new challenges across three chapters, expanding the game’s storyline and offering players fresh content to explore.
Overall, Devolver Digital’s presence at Summer Game Fest 2024 was a testament to their commitment to highlighting unique and innovative indie games. With a diverse lineup of titles and exciting updates for existing games, it’s clear that the publisher continues to push boundaries and deliver memorable gaming experiences for players around the world.
