The AAA market hasn’t spoiled us too much with interesting games in recent years. It’s time to take a look at indie and get acquainted with unusual stories and ideas! In this compilation, we’ve rounded up the 20 best games from last year that, in our opinion, didn’t have huge budgets and hundreds of people on the team.
Walk Hero
A Russian indie game that boasts standout performance – selling one million copies, peaking at around 51,156 online on Steam, nomination for “Best Independent Game” at The Game Awards 2021, and Neil Druckmann himself praised Loop Hero. But the most valuable is the unusual concept of Roguelike gameplay, where the player piece by piece imitates the world around the main character.
Terrain, buildings and even enemies are represented as cards that are merged into your deck. And when you start the game session, you need to fill in the blanks and arrange the objects correctly. What’s more interesting – the cards are combined with each other, creating new unique objects. And the player also has to improve his personal camp, which will bring additional benefits during the passage.
All in all, Loop Hero is a unique mix of different genres that has managed to fall in love with thousands of fans. No wonder the game has over 90% positive reviews on Steam. And they scold Loop Hero is primarily intended for grinding, so the original idea runs the risk of getting bored quickly.
