Now comes the second worst decision, do I need to eat or buy these games? And the first worst decision comes next, do I need to sleep or do I "invest" my time gaming instead?
Thank you for including Shrine's Legacy on this list. 🙏 Although we mostly market it as a co-op Action RPG, we deeply appreciate you recognizing our Zelda influences and hope more people see it. Honestly, about 50% of the gameplay is very Zelda-like (particularly the elements used in combat and for puzzle-solving). -Alan
I love how your sponsors are actual video games instead of shitty mobile cash grabs. Legit the only media in the world that has made me want to buy a game based on the ads.
Everything about Mina the Hollower screams quality - you just know it’s going to be good. Shrine’s legacy and hazelnut Bastille are my other most Anticipated
I like how the protagonist of the first game is a mouse, in the seconds it's a cat, so maybe a dog for the 3rd one? Lol. And I hope the douchebag character will return or at least have a cameo, he was my favourite.
I played the scrabdackle demo. Definately one of the most fun games I've played! Elementis felt a big sluggish and had some wierd hitbox issues in the demo.
Wow, so many promising games! I supported some of the campaigns. I am confident that the quality of indie games will improve each year: studios gain experience and some great newcomers. I am looking forward to a soulslike list.
IIRC, there was a game out there in development that had monster taming, and lots of hats that you could put on them. The main feature that caught my attention was that you had a Pocket Garden, which let you duplicate materials and consumable items inside it using a grid-based puzzle mechanic. I THINK I might have heard about it from you, but I can't find it again. EDIT: Creature Keeper! That's it!
Nice eye! I may check this out now that you mentioned Brave Fencer Musashi! I could not get into Brave Fencer Musashi's sequel but Angeline Era might fit the bill.
Ronin Trail - I completely forgot its name! One of my MOST ANTICIPATED. the graphics and vibe and movement all look awesome of this as per the title wandering (masterless samurai) hopefully open-world choose where you will go game. Just looks to hit the mark in the bullseye from the footage.
Thank you for sharing. We have received a lot of positive contact with localization cooperation during this period of time, and the Land of Vonimir well be perfectly vivid next year .❤
The sheer speed which people label a languishing kickstarted product a "scam" despite there being tons of footage and even playable builds is hilarious.
The ballad of Bonky is one of my most hyped games. I played the demo, and loved it way too much. I played through the demo multiple time and I don't have time to do that! Please wishlist the game, I sure hope the full game is on par with the demo and I wish the dev great success!
Really nice! How different independent games are. With all colors and artistic graphics and new and new styles. They are not like aaa games that are all online games or first person shooters!
SWEET, Blud is shown here! I'm getting more excited for that one. That one's kind of like a younger sister or niece to Cookie Cutter, in the sense of fantastic animation, an angry and determind girl as the protagonist, over-the-top violence and gore. Though considering the setting, it's not as in the "mature" direction as CC.
Great games await us in 2024. Little Devil Inside is getting more spectacular every day. I really like pixel art, 1bit, 16bit etc, but, it's funny, I don't think the Nintendo 64 is cool. I was a big 64 enthusiast at the time, but I think the graphics haven't aged well.
I wish Nintendo would go back to making Zelda games like a link to the past... that still is my favorite Zelda game ever... I feel the newer Zelda games just don't have the same formula as the og Zelda games.
I was wondering if we’d see Little Devil Inside on this list, and sure enough. Maybe a month ago an artist posted some scenes from the game on art station, there are suspicions this was allowed because the game has been canned and now the developer is shopping their work for new work. Oh well :(
Horn of Balance guys may want to watch out, most of those assets look like they are lifted directly from Link to the Past. Nintendo gonna Nintendo when they figure that out.
I was in the Duel Corp playtest at the beginning, and it was so bad that I just stopped playing. The good news is that it looks like it has jumped 10 levels graphically since then (let’s just hope the gameplay has jumped 50 levels)
Horn of Balance is iterally a TLOZ ALTTP clone, even animations and assets I would say are 1:1 stolen, however I don't mind if the devs going through with this it's probably an insta buy for me.
You can enjoy this game guilt-free, my friend. All the visuals, sound effects, music, coding and story are actually custom made and different compared to ALTTP. LOVE the response though 😉
@@martijndh Don't get me wrong, "stolen" might be be a harsh word for this but for me it's more like an loveletter to one of my top 3 games of all time, maybe we call it "inspired" instead ;D
@@ashhw1984 No worries. As the dev I just wanted to at least respond in case someone out there took it literally. (Trust me, no joke, they exist 😅) I did like the original post though 😄And you nailed it on the head with the love letter comment. It's such a shame Nintendo isn't making games like this themselves any more.
@@martijndh For a time I really thought Nintendo would someday in the future maybe release their games on PC, however I think one of Nintendo's philosophy pillars is that they still try to make their games as bugfree and stable as possible for realease, however PC's are so different in terms of hardware and components it's quite impossible to give "all" customers a great support. Look a the clusterfuck so called AAA studios get out these days. I think shareholding has destroyed or at least change the gaming industry in a way that is not good for the coreaudience. However I'm still aware that these days coregamers are not the main income consumer that fuels the industry anymore. I wish you all of best luck and success with your game ♥ I always and still dreaming of creating my own game however I'm 39 by now and have no clue how to program in first place xD guess some dreams never come true ;)
Fountains is quite good, Horn of balance looks way too much like ALTTP for me to get excited about it, and I don’t like that GBC looking game that looks exactly like the oracle games… I barely want to play a Zelda game that looks that ugly, so a clone is even less enticing! Bring on Zwaard, and Vessels of decay, I need to cleanse my pallet
About 10 of these are false promises, we all know the names by now. No hate on the developers though, it’s hard and delays are common, but let’s not have expectations that are unrealistic. Best is to just let the games come when they do, and enjoy it then.
I don't get how everybody says, that Shrines Legacy is hardly inspired by Secret of Mana, when its crystal clear that its a big hommage to Golden Sun 🫠🦖
The number of games that I already wishlist because of your videos is beyond comprehension. Good work as usual!
💯...lol
Totally agree! This video destroyed my wishlist! I started wondering is there a limit to what Valve will allow me to add 😂
Now comes the second worst decision, do I need to eat or buy these games?
And the first worst decision comes next, do I need to sleep or do I "invest" my time gaming instead?
I have 630 wishlited games atm, and what is ur current number guys?
Wow, thank you so much for mentionning my game again! It's coming soon!
Which ?

Thanks so much for featuring Crypt Custodian!! There are so many games on this list that I'm really excited for
Ayyy, you're welcome! Happy holidays
It looks amazing! As soon as Clemmy introduced me to Islets, I've become a HUGE fan of everything you guys are doing!
I like how the protagonist of the first game is a mouse, in the seconds it's a cat, so maybe a dog for the 3rd one? Lol. And I hope the douchebag character will return or at least have a cameo, he was my favourite.
you are the best, I love your games dude, and by the looks, this new one will be even better
@@DISCO-munication Islets wasn't his first one tho, you might want to check out Sheepo, where you turn into multiple creatures xD
I played the scrabdackle demo. Definately one of the most fun games I've played! Elementis felt a big sluggish and had some wierd hitbox issues in the demo.
Sooooo many games just added to my wishlist! I'm here for so much of this!

Great list definitely some I’ve never heard of and am now excited about. I’d like to mention secrets of grinder and rogue heroes as well.
10:37 Angeline Era gives me some strong Brave Fencer Musashi vibes! I may need to check it out

I'm extremely curious to see how that one turns out as well.
Great selection and fantastic vídeo! ✌🏼🤓🎮
Dude, your channel is making my Wishlist humongous. I don't think I will be able to finish it in one lifetime.
Thank you for sharing. We have received a lot of positive contact with localization cooperation during this period of time, and the Land of Vonimir well be perfectly vivid next year .❤
Great! Looking forward to it
Fantastic video, thanks a million! ✌🏼🤓🎮
No one will take the place of Crosscode in my heart, a real masterpiece.
But i'm sure they all will be good games 👍
I love this channel
glad to see a lot of stand out games that don't just look like Zelda clones, thanks for the compilation!
Thank you for always highlighting such awesome indie games! I love the action adventure genre :D

Played the demo for spindle as well, and I also liked it!
Also liked the Crystal Story demo. Goddamn. Way too many great games coming this year...
Does Elements not have a release window yet?
Little Devil Inside?? Wow. It seems like an eternity had passed since the first time I heard about this game.
Really nice! How different independent games are. With all colors and artistic graphics and new and new styles. They are not like aaa games that are all online games or first person shooters!
Lots of good stuff in here. Btw, Minishoot Adventures is actually a metroidvania and a very good one, if judging by the demo!
I feel so happy to jave found this awsm channel
so many great recommendations
Plucky squire from devolver no doubts one of the best upcoming games
Indie Games emulator with game pack like mame roms exist or not
Radio the universe looks masterpiece!😍
Loveing these, some give of Classic Zelda vibes, others have Breath of Fire / Final Fantasy vibe
SWEET, Blud is shown here! I'm getting more excited for that one.

I can see it!

Indie developers stepping up their talent to greater heights and making better looking games than triple A
Hazelnut Bastille🔥
Cat Quest 3?? No way! I played the second one in co-op withy son.
Great list , thank you
Fountains looks exactly like Hyper Light Drifter

Dang Gina that's a whole lotta games 😮
Video took me like 4 days to make (due in part to the holidays and other stuff going on) so I hope you liked it

Great list!
So many , i have over 520 games on my wishlist … and maybe 10000 on my pc …
😢 the top 10 would be enough 😂
Hmmm Ronin Trail looks interesting
yeah
15:38 TECHNOBLADE!!!
1st game artwork looks like a little devil 👿 inside. (sad if they discontinued that game. Looks promising)
Cat Quest 3...better than Ubisoft's pirate game :D
Horn of Balance guys may want to watch out, most of those assets look like they are lifted directly from Link to the Past. Nintendo gonna Nintendo when they figure that out.
Ronin Trail is so interessant!!!
I was in the Duel Corp playtest at the beginning, and it was so bad that I just stopped playing. The good news is that it looks like it has jumped 10 levels graphically since then (let’s just hope the gameplay has jumped 50 levels)
These games comes to mobile.. just like dead cell..❤

I've given up all hope of ever playing Little Devil Inside.
i wish mina was 16bit
Horn of Balance looks cool but some of those sprites are just straight up stolen assets from ALLTP.
Good Good Good Good

Zelda likes are always overdesigned and not nice to play
Your channel is bad for my wallet!
Horn of Balance is really pushing it as far as inspiration goes...
😉
