Gamescom Asia 2025 was packed with cosplayers, queues, and stacks of upcoming indie games. Highlights included HellHeart Breaker, Wild Woods, and Combo Critters. Happy to see the scene in Asia is thriving. #Gamescom #IndieGames #GameDev

From Thai folklore to kawaii brawlers, the indies at Gamescom Asia 2025 in Bangkok gave a solid showing: TaKhon, Cat Girl Survivor 2 and Woodo were standouts. #Gamescom #IndieGames #ThaiGames

Playing #SteelAssault feels like booting up a long-lost #NeoGeo arcade machine. It’s fast, flashy, ruthless, and full of gorgeous pixel-art. Brutal at higher difficulties too, with an Arcade Mode that gives you just one life to beat the entire game. A tough yet lovingly crafted hidden gem. #Steam

Still addicted to #BombRushCyberfunk and deep in my playthrough. Futuristic Tokyo meets New York energy with graffiti battles, insane traversal flow, slick grinding and Hideki Naganuma on the soundtrack. Also a little obsessed with capturing screenshots in this game 📸 🎮

Stumbled on #StarRacer via Steam and got hooked on this retro sci-fi racer with big F-Zero/Star Fox vibes. Indie studio
@whatnotgames.bsky.social nail the 16-bit feel on this one. There's stacks of content here too, heaps of tracks, even a track editor. Not on Switch yet but would be a perfect fit.

Some killer pickups in Osaka with the OG Wipeout series, Wargroove 1+2 and Luminous Avenger iX2 for Switch. Japan’s game stores never disappoint #JapanGaming #ゲーム好きな人と繋がりたい

Hunting for a @superjumpmagazine.com hidden gem this month and found my way back to this quirky #PS1 tactics RPG. Turn-based combat, smooth gameplay and a whimsical story. It's not the hardest tactical adventure, but it's addictive and fun. Definitely worth revisiting: #SaiyukiJourneyWest

Been playing through #CyberCorp recently since it dropped on consoles. It’s a cyberpunk isometric looter shooter with fast combat and short missions. You pilot a Synth through procedurally-generated story beats, survival runs, and stacks of loot. Nails that twin-stick combat I’m a huge fan of.

Been playing Orbital Bullet lately, a side-scrolling #roguelite with levels built on rotating cylinders. It blends 3D environments with 2D sprites, backed by a pounding techno soundtrack. The 360° design gives it a unique feel that makes it a hidden gem worth checking out.

Checked out Round1 Stadium Sennichimae. 11 floors. Pretty sure it’s one of the biggest arcades in Japan #Osaka

Currently stuck into Vampire Savior (aka #Darkstalkers 3) via the Capcom Fighting Collection. Fast, chaotic, and packed with weird characters that all play differently. Every match-up makes you rethink your strategy. Love the art-style & soundtrack too. Easily one of Capcom’s best fighters.

Currently playing Bomb Rush Cyberfunk & it’s giving big Tony Hawk meets GTA3 vibes. You skate, spray graffiti, do trick battles against rival gangs & fight the police. Combat’s a bit meh, but the style and flow is awesome. I’m always a sucker for slick grind traversal, and this one nails it!

This month’s hidden gem is Guntastic: a pixel-art arena brawler I found while looking for something like Towerfall for Xbox. It’s not as polished as EXOK's masterpiece, but still chaotic fun. Wish it would get some new modes & maps though! Worth grabbing on sale if you’re into couch brawlers.
