Trying Indie Heroes Collection 4 (Part 3) [Evercade #266]
2Watch me Live!: https://www.twitch.tv/Joshua8600
The final part for Indie Heroes Collection 4 is now done, and I am left feeling ambivalent and overall just undecided about this whole thing.
Murtop is definitely the highlight of the whole package, as was Donut Dodo last year. It is a very fun game, and definitely has more longevity and replayability to it than Donut Dodo did, as well.
Starseed just makes me sad. I was actually really liking it...then it ended in 11 minutes. It shouldn't even qualify as a full game for Evercade.
Block Droppin', on the other hand, though is short like Starseed at least is replayable. I like it, but I don't have much else to say about it.
Honestly, these past 2 years, Indie Heroes has really felt like a "here's 2-3 good games, and some junk to fill the space" and that's it. The actual collections are getting pretty poor.
I want an Indie Heroes 5 next year, yes, but I want some quality on the cart. There has to be better games for retro systems than Collie Defense, Starseed, (MD) Block'Em Sock'Em.
There are tons of games out there. And what we got here as a collection - despite some pretty good individuals - does not add up to a cohesive collection at all and just leaves a bad feeling after.
