Yooooooo its the indie dev of the game Iron Corbo. Your game looks sick! Mentioned it to a few friends over last year and they loved the look of it. Best of luck with the game, got it wishlisted and exicted for its eventual launch!
Replaced and The Last Night are definitely my most anticipated games on this list! Especially Replaced, which was delayed from its original release end of 2023. I can't wait.
Abathor F@€¥ING RULES!!! The only thing I don’t quite understand is if this is supposed to be a full game at some point, or some kind of Demo that just keeps getting built up? The Indie game side of the industry can be so strange with the way it operates, you can get a demo one day, then hear nothing for 5 years, and suddenly you find out it was released a few months ago with little to no promotion!
Glad Black Finger Jet got a showing, it's got a handful of devs from SNK and IREM working on it, most obviously the pixel artist "AKIO" who popped up on Twitter last year in Spring and shook the pixel art twitter for a few days.....just "hey I am 60 years old and mostly paint nowadays but I used to do the pixel art on METAL SLUG" and everybodys jaw dropped
A few I already wishlisted, but SO many new ones I'd never heard of and they look so great! My wishlist keeps ballooning! Always appreciate these lists, wonderful to see so many upcoming and promising looking titles get a little attention.
Dudes! My wishlist was somewhere around a few hundred back in like 2020, then I don’t even know WTF happened, but now it’s over - actually, hold on a sec, I just purged some and want to be accurate… Geez Louise!!! It’s at 3188, and I know most of that isn’t even released yet, so there’s a big chance of half never getting a release. But still, that’s even crazy for my stupid OCD ass!
I had a few of these on my radar already (Replaced at number one is a great choice), but I am blown away by some of these titles. Black Finger Jet! I had no idea! I was a huge Metal Slug fanatic, so that game feels like it was made for me.
Gotta add those to my wait list... And of course, Black Finger Jet since if we can't get Metal Slug 8, that's a good enough game for us to help us wait.@@ClemmyGames
SoulQuest looks exactly like the type of game that I've been wanting to play lately with some free form combos Vanillaware style, this video had a lot of new games I didn't know about, all of them wishlisted now.
QUESTION for Clemmy, or really anyone else who might happen to know… I’m looking for a pixel platformer I played recently (and to keep it as simple as I can, I’m not going to overload this with details, and just describe the first level) -First, gameplay was pretty similar to “Jump King” -very tiny character (who I think could run around a little as well as jump, wall jump, attack bats with a sword), collect coins to buy upgrades as you ascend the… cave/tower? **most notable thing, you start in the bottom of a dark pit/dungeon and have to escape by jumping through a small hole in the ceiling -level layout and graphics similar to celeste in a sense, but everything has a yellowish hue. I’ve been looking for months now, and I just can’t find it! It may have been a demo, but I’m almost positive it was a full steam release. thanks in advance 😬👍
Quite a lot of great indie games, hopefully they all have a physical version, as I would like to have them in that way 15:38 Bushiden is probably taking longer as they might be doing more with the game than your typical action platformer, but that's just my guess 22:31 The Transylvania Adventure of Simon Quest, nice to see more homages to Castlevania 2 :) I'm also working on a Castlevania 2 inspired game, but the story in Castlevania 2 makes no sense, which is why I'm changing the story completely in my own version, but my Castlevania 2 inspired game is still years off from production as I'm still working on my first game lol Some other 2D action platform games, while not exactly indie, they are just as much anticipated, are Shadow of the Ninja Reborn from Tengo Project, and that new Contra: Operation Galuga from Konami
Slave Zero X's case is that it exists because of what Inforgames did to the original Slave Zero. The original Slave Zero was evidently inspired by mecha anime and shows like Evangelion (which kinda is mecha but the EVAs are techno-organic giant cyborgs) and Guyver (which is more tokusatsu...that is until Guyver Gigantic appears and the mecha tag gets added). The game was supposed to be far different from what people got. The titular techno-organic mecha and other slave units had a far more techno-organic, scary bio-punk aesthetic given to them and the theme was that of "to fight monsters one must become a monster". With the main character who is piloting Slave Zero trying his best to maintain his humanity from eroding. What did Inforgames do? Canned that, told the now enraged devs to tone down the bio-punk and settle for a generic heroic military-themed story because they wanted to piggback the Mechwarrior ride. Now with Ziggurat having the IP and Poppy Works getting to work on it, Slave Zero X is a big return to the original Slave Zero ideas. Tell you that the devs also want to make their own mecha game, so there might be a chance they will make a complete remake of Slave Zero that stays true to the original theme and aesthetics that it was supposed to have.
SoulQuest - Great combat combos and animation. The shout-effect could start to grate on the nerves however, need to work on that sound more. Otherwise really awesome combat that you can visually see and set up. Abathor - 1-4 Player is always going to boost playability with fun with friends so can't go far wrong with this one and again neat design and art. Black Finger Jet - Wow Metal Slug's one of the best of the best games ever so some "DNA" in this title makes it one to watch. So long as the art and IP are different, the mechanisms can't be copyrighted so imo looks like it will be fine and it really does look very different even if the style of gameplay has a familiar feel to it. The Transylvania adventure of simon quest - Does "look" like the old classic and very tempting also.
Not sure if you already know about it, but there's an upcoming game that seems to be an action platformer with incredible pixel art called Moon Samurai made by a group called Nunchaku Games. I don't think it has a release date yet.
The Looter, Gundroid, Necrofugitive, Bushiden, Lords of Exile, Iron Meat, Emerbane, & Replaced look the most promising that I'm still looking forward to. Im still waiting for a release date for Meifumado. 😢
Advent Neon looks like a mix of Mega Man Zero, Sonic, and Ori or Rocket Knight Adventures/Sparkster. Holy hell that Gunbound throwback. You're talking about Aduka's ultimate (which largely sucked because it barely did any damage). I mained that thing, since it was an ultra-precision mobile with very consistent damage, and it was so much fun being a god with that.
Savoiorless felt right enough. Also thank you, got to other games now Doubleshake and Necrofugutive. The first....not so sure how much this can still capture my attention, but the second one mostly because of a demo being aviable so I can try out the movement and everything. Peppergrinder, had it in the list for a while, hope it's fun enough, I believe it made me think of Sonic and another game. Oh I already had Earthblade. Good list thank you.
is rot in a porcelain dream really 2.5d? because from what I'm seeing here, it just looks like 2d to me. something like elsword comes to mind when I think 2.5d since it actually utilizes x, y and z-axis despite being generally 2d. doubleshake on the other hand I have no doubt is 2.5d. also 7:02 berserk horse and 7:23 gedo statue
Clemmy, you mention you "missed" Pepper Grinder, as in, missed its updated release date? because you covered it in a much older video.. maybe 3 years ago or something. i actually found out about it through this channel
Replaced is definitely my most anticipated release. The Last Night seems cool too -- now that the effinist movement is scaling back on their rabidness, hopefully he can get it out without being dogpiled like before, or losing his publisher because he dared criticise said effinist movement.
Ok, I need some help. I think it was one of your videos. I'm trying to find a game, which is 2d pixel, NES like, takes place in a dungeon, is a platormer, 3 playable characters, where the mage/sorcerer is yellow who sold their souls to the devil in order to re do the dungeon, and his friends, which are red (maybe archer) and blue (maybe knight).
Wow, I want to play at least 25 of these games, there's something for everyone and they're great but they won't come out for a while, why are you doing this to us brother? 😭
3:46 This should be considered a HACK 'N' SLASH Action Platformer not a beat 'em up because all characters are using weapons while beat em up use their limbs to fight.
Unfortunately Berserk Boy won't be appearing on all those systems any more, at least not right away. Only Steam and Switch on that March 6th date and then hopefully other systems if it's successful enough.
Thanks for the call out Clemmy. Your support gives us indies the energy to keep going! ♥♥

@@bearofthewest389 Thank you for the kind words. I'm super humbled! ❤Please look forward to it. I'll do my best to make it a worthwhile experience.
I am building an indie game as well! Got vids on my channel. Some of these games look awesome!
Bushiden, see you next year in Indie Games - 2025 and then in Indie Games - 2026...
Replaced and The Last Night are definitely my most anticipated games on this list! Especially Replaced, which was delayed from its original release end of 2023.
I can't wait.
Abathor giving off Golden Axe vibes, love it. I also have a mighty need for the Last Night and Replaced!

As a Treasure fan that's been holding out for a Mischief Makers sequel since about 1998 thank you so much for making me aware of Doubleshake.
Wow! A lot of gorgeous pixel graphics in this video.
So many great Titles...
...Lords of Exile, The Last Nigh and Replaced, are on my Top 3 List now 💯👏🏻
Glad Black Finger Jet got a showing, it's got a handful of devs from SNK and IREM working on it, most obviously the pixel artist "AKIO" who popped up on Twitter last year in Spring and shook the pixel art twitter for a few days.....just "hey I am 60 years old and mostly paint nowadays but I used to do the pixel art on METAL SLUG" and everybodys jaw dropped
I hope they never stop making these game! When all went 3d I missed these games
.....glad they back!
Saviorless looks amazing
A few I already wishlisted, but SO many new ones I'd never heard of and they look so great! My wishlist keeps ballooning! Always appreciate these lists, wonderful to see so many upcoming and promising looking titles get a little attention.
I feel exactly the same. At this rate, my wishlist will hit the 1000 this year.
I do that and then I erase the ones I know I'll never play. The backlog is already massive
Dudes! My wishlist was somewhere around a few hundred back in like 2020, then I don’t even know WTF happened, but now it’s over - actually, hold on a sec, I just purged some and want to be accurate…

Man, every game on this list looks interesting enough to keep an eye on them!
Great!
I had a few of these on my radar already (Replaced at number one is a great choice), but I am blown away by some of these titles. Black Finger Jet! I had no idea! I was a huge Metal Slug fanatic, so that game feels like it was made for me.
Gundroid and Iron Meat are giving me such serious Contra vibes!
yeah
Gotta add those to my wait list... And of course, Black Finger Jet since if we can't get Metal Slug 8, that's a good enough game for us to help us wait.@@ClemmyGames
Double Shake has Pandemonium vibes. Loved it!
SoulQuest looks exactly like the type of game that I've been wanting to play lately with some free form combos Vanillaware style, this video had a lot of new games I didn't know about, all of them wishlisted now.
Did you check out Vernal Edge? Same kind of combat there.
@@thebarbaryghostsf yeah, somebody mentioned that game here in the comments, I'm going to give it a try too.
Rot in a porcelain Dream has some of the most striking art I’ve ever seen in a game. Hopefully it can deliver
Lots of games doing the 32-bit era graphics lately, love it!
That first game was like Metroidvania & DMC & I’m here for it
Thanks so much for featuring Fist of the Forgotten. I saw a big spike in wishlists and had to see if there was a new video. 😁

Fallen Leaf has become another legacy of anticipation. Hope it gets finished. Another terrific list!
Sooo many awesome looking arcade and retro style games in this lineup! Going to check out the demos of every such game that has one!
What is the song at 6:17? I've heard it before
Doubleshake , YES! It's so Mischief Makers. I'm loving the style.
Ghost knight and pepper grinder look really cool so thanks for introducing me to them. I’m considering those 2 + berserk boy right now
What happened to the audio during #3?
Copyrighted music
Iron Meat looks very inspired by Heavy Barrel!
🤔
Dude... Black Metal Finger looks like a 10/10. Completely new to me till this video.
👊My man. That's the idea! Bringing you awesome indies!
Quite a lot of great indie games, hopefully they all have a physical version, as I would like to have them in that way
15:38 Bushiden is probably taking longer as they might be doing more with the game than your typical action platformer, but that's just my guess
22:31 The Transylvania Adventure of Simon Quest, nice to see more homages to Castlevania 2 :)
I'm also working on a Castlevania 2 inspired game, but the story in Castlevania 2 makes no sense, which is why I'm changing the story completely in my own version, but my Castlevania 2 inspired game is still years off from production as I'm still working on my first game lol
Some other 2D action platform games, while not exactly indie, they are just as much anticipated, are Shadow of the Ninja Reborn from Tengo Project, and that new Contra: Operation Galuga from Konami
Soulquest looks AWESOME!!! 😍

During the segment about Transylvania, the sound is turned off. Maybe TH-cam silenced it for some reason.
Copyrighted music, had to mute it
@@ClemmyGames oh! Too bad.
The looter is like Blackthorne x with Metal Slug. Looks good.
Mmhmm
Ghost Knight totally looks like the next evolution of super ghouls and ghosts Hans
Great list! Thanx for the video.
11:18 Looks like Warrior Land, a Nintendo Exclusive game. I LIKE THIS ONE! iT IS LIKE A MIX OF A MONSTER GREEN LOOKING TAZMANIAN DEVIL AND WARRIO!
Thank you for making these and putting the titles!!
Thank you for all the links in the description.
Breeze in the Clouds, Advent Neon, Soul Quest, Bushiden, and Emberbane look promising.
SoulQuest - Great combat combos and animation. The shout-effect could start to grate on the nerves however, need to work on that sound more. Otherwise really awesome combat that you can visually see and set up.
Abathor - 1-4 Player is always going to boost playability with fun with friends so can't go far wrong with this one and again neat design and art.

"The shout-effect could start to grate on the nerves however,"
I realized the same thing 3 seconds into the video.

Nice picks. Yeah no news on that which is why I left it off
I love your vids dude, so many games to play
That Replaced looking awesome
RIAPD is finally coming out?
Black Finger Jet is the game I have been looking for! hope it's good!
Thx for your great videos! I really appreciate your efforts and your vidoes are really helpfull for me to find some rare gaming games!
Necrofugitive looks amazing
Yeah
Iron Meat sort of reminds me of The Mummy Demastered. Very cool 👍🏾
Im surprised G Warrior wasn't on the list.
What's the best way to play these games without being upscaled, indie games look harsh on 4K monitors?
Make the window smaller
Im still waiting video about incoming 3d platformer games... My top 1 is supra world

@@ClemmyGames TYSM! i missed 1 vid and it was exactly what i needed lol
What's going on with the audio in #3?
Melhor video do ano,só jogos epicos. Curti demais =D
Gundroid has even more similarities with the german version of Contra namend "Probotector". Thank you for all these little gems for my wishlist :)
Thank you for this video! I have never wishlisted so many games off one single video. Also, does anyone know what game the thumbnail is from??
You’re welcome! It’s from necrofugitive
Advent Neon looks like a mix of Mega Man Zero, Sonic, and Ori or Rocket Knight Adventures/Sparkster.
Holy hell that Gunbound throwback. You're talking about Aduka's ultimate (which largely sucked because it barely did any damage). I mained that thing, since it was an ultra-precision mobile with very consistent damage, and it was so much fun being a god with that.
Gunbound 👊
Don’t forget RiStar 😅
It's like 2D kingdom heats!
Thank you Clemmy - where else would we find out about games like this if it wasn't for you?
Savoiorless felt right enough. Also thank you, got to other games now Doubleshake and Necrofugutive.
The first....not so sure how much this can still capture my attention, but the second one mostly because of a demo being aviable so I can try out the movement and everything.
Peppergrinder, had it in the list for a while, hope it's fun enough, I believe it made me think of Sonic and another game.
Oh I already had Earthblade.
Good list thank you.
#35 and #34 look interesting to play.
16:18 I here by declare that this is a Beat 'Em Up Platformer like Okinawa Rush! Different Style but the same genre.
What’s the one in the thumbnail?
Necrofugitive looks fire 🔥
Emberbane is actually coming to Switch as well
The last night has definitely been canceled. we haven’t heard a thing for god know how many years now. OR, it was a scam game, that they pulled back
Im still waiting on replaced
the protagonist of Fist of the Forgotten seems like a mix of Jinx and Vi from league of legends.
The thumbnail game is not in the video
It's called Project Feline
12:35 Is this game from the same studio who made "8 Doors"?
is rot in a porcelain dream really 2.5d? because from what I'm seeing here, it just looks like 2d to me. something like elsword comes to mind when I think 2.5d since it actually utilizes x, y and z-axis despite being generally 2d. doubleshake on the other hand I have no doubt is 2.5d.
also 7:02 berserk horse and 7:23 gedo statue
Just saying your windows at the beginning of the episode don't link anywhere :D
Clemmy, you mention you "missed" Pepper Grinder, as in, missed its updated release date? because you covered it in a much older video.. maybe 3 years ago or something. i actually found out about it through this channel
Replaced is definitely my most anticipated release. The Last Night seems cool too -- now that the effinist movement is scaling back on their rabidness, hopefully he can get it out without being dogpiled like before, or losing his publisher because he dared criticise said effinist movement.
What's this cool sounding word effinist- actually don't tell me. As I might use it in the future. (with different meaning and minus the "movement")
I want to play them all, all of them, I liked them all 🤩🤩
Soulquest looks so much like Vernal Edge I thought it was a sequel!
Lords of exile looks very interesting! Like Ninja Gaiden and Castlevania had a child lol.
Is Earthblade a Celestevania?
this is the kind of video i like the most THANKS
Ok, I need some help. I think it was one of your videos.

Astalon: Tears of the Earth
Cuba?? Cuba has joined the Chat room. Nice!!
ohh there are a lot here that look really sweet!
35 jeux à découvrir, merci
For the love or Metroidvania, make the protagonist of Soulquest mute! Fallen Leaf reminds me of Little Samson, looks cool!
Advent Neon is probably inspired by Pulseman on genesis.
This is a really good list❤
Lords of Exile is releasing on Switch soon by the way ;)
Yeah!
Abathor reminds me of an 80's game called Rastan.
wish fallen leaf and forsaken castle were out. castle in the darkness 2 would be nice as well. sessions looks cool
esse black funger jet parece um metal slug de nova geraçao muito top!!

Can't wait for emberbane.
Am I the only one who is fed up with the double jump or the air move forward after a jump ?
well i have a massive Wishlist on my steampage now lol
Unfortunately Berserk Boy won't be appearing on all those systems any more, at least not right away. Only Steam and Switch on that March 6th date and then hopefully other systems if it's successful enough.
Pepper Grinder just came out on Xbox!
