Along with being an indie game developer, Team17 is a big indie publisher, who you may be familiar with if you've perhaps played the war strategy Worms games before. Over the years, there's been a significant increase to its video game library, and there's currently a plethora of incredible options from a range of other talented indie developers.
The content you'll see from Team17 puts a great emphasis on unique narrative and game design, bringing you different experiences that you won't otherwise get from traditional AAA cinematic adventure games like those from PlayStation. And there's a wide variety of genres to dive into as well.
10 Narita Boy 🧜
- Developer: Studio Koba
Narita Boy is a meta game-within-a-game 2D action-adventure platformer with a retro aesthetic reminiscent of Tron. The story here revolves around a character inside a video game called Narita Boy, a launch title for a fictional console called the Narita One, developed by the Creator. But the game's memory inside the digital realm gets corrupted by a mysterious force called Him, and now your purpose becomes far more critical than your program.
Armed with your Techno-sword, you'll eradicate the nefarious Stallions invading the Digital Kingdom and discover mysteries throughout. One of the most visually striking things about this game is the immersive retro pixel art style, visual distortion, and screen edge effects, making you feel like you're within the boundaries of an old computer system.
9 Thymesia

- Developer: OverBorder Studio
A 3D Soulslike from Team17 that shares similar plague themes with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Bloodborne while adding new mechanics to the genre is a game called Thymesia. The environments are heavily inspired by FromSoftware titles with plenty of enemies and collectibles. Your character Corvus also gets a neat design, a cloaked being wearing a plague doctor mask who can transform into a 🔴raven (hence the name).
The plague doesn't just tie into the story but also the weapons and gameplay. You'll be able to collect several plague weapon abilities to activate in combat, which make your equipped blade emanate a green glow and transform it into more powerful weapons like a scythe for a moment.
8 🗹 ⛎ Monster Sanctuary
- Developer: moi rai games
If you take all the systems of a creature collector and design them around a 2D pixel art Metroidvania layout, you'd have 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Monster Sanctuary. You have an extensive bestiary at your disposal, with the monsters you capture extendi🏅ng far beyond combat to ไbecoming your companions in helping you traverse the environment, such as underwater sections.
The variety of whimsical and adorable monsters you can tame around the Sanctuary and the different areas you find yourself in are some of the most sen𒁏sational parts of the game, not to mentioꦓn the excellent turn-based combat.
7 🅠 Ship Of Fools
- Developer: Fika Productions
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Ship of Fools brings co-op roguelite combat to the high seas in the midst of a dangerous Aquapocalypse. Situated aboard the Stormstrider, you and your fellow Fool crewmates will sail on through the threat of the storm and rely on the ship's cannons and other available weapons to clear the spooky sea monsters trying to sink you.
The idle animations are charming, and the hand-drawn character designs and aquatic environments are delightful. Though, your time won't all be spent on the sea. Ship of Fools has you make brief trips onto land to trade with merchants located along multiple docks scattered throughout the waters with the treasures you collect.
6 𒅌 ✤ Blasphemous
- Developer: The Game Kitchen
An eerie cross between 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Hollow Knight and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Moonscars, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Blasphemous is a 2D Souslike Metroidvania game with a dark, twisted story around religious themes in the Gothic land of Cvstodia. Spanish art and religion factor into the game's visual themes, including the protagonist's design. And while the environments look stunning, they also brilliantly create an ominous foreboding atmosphere.
Donned in a metallic barbed wire cone mask resembling a capirote, the Penitent One has survived a massacre against the Brotherhood of the Silent Sorrow. Now left to wander Cvstodia with only a sword called the Mea Culpa, it'll soon be used in gruesome ways for the enemies and bosses standing in your path to salvation.
5 🍬 He🌳ll Let Loose
- Developer: Team17
Something wildly different from Team17 is this realistic FPS WW2 military simulator titled 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Hell Let Loose, which already describes the harrowing war experience you're in for. It's a multiplayer strategy game with teams of 50 versus 50 players across all sides of the conflict and assuming different military roles, essentially the same feel as the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Battlefield 1 multiplayer.
You also have tanks and other vehicles to both command and avoid while you're on the frontlines, and the game contains nine maps taking you to significant battles in WW2. The realism isn't just in the weapons handling but in the battle locations themselves, said to be recreated through "archival aerial photography and satellite imagery."
4 Overc🐼ooked! All You Can Eat
- Developers: Ghost Town Games, Team17
Think how stressful cooking in a professional kitchen environment typically is, as seen in media like The Bear or The Menu. Then, imagine cooking in moving environments like trucks or pirate ships, and in dangerous lava conditions or even space! That's the riveting fun of the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Overcooked series.
With the All You Can Eat version, this 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:fast-paced co-op gem of a 𝓡cooking game has been remastered and bundled with the original Ovecooked and its sequel, along with some new levels. And the cooking mayhem has also transformed beyond couch co-op into cross-platform on꧒line multiplayer.
3 Killer Frequency ♎
- Developer: Team17
The citizens of Gallows Creek have🍎 a slasher known as the Whistling Man stalking the streets, and the police are either currently deceased or on vacation. Who better to serve as the new helpline than local radio DJ Forrest Nash of 189.16 The S༒cream? As the potential victims call in, you must solve puzzles and talk them through evading the killer.
Set in 1987, Killer Frequency is equal parts comedy, horror suspense, walking simulator, and branching interactive narrative. As Forrest Nash, you navigate the rooms within the station to gather puzzle items, find vinyl albums you can play on your show, discover new clues, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:even spot some horror film references.
2 Trepang2
- Developer: Trepang Studios
Everything about Trepang2 screams a Fear successor. The level design, environments, horror elements, and, most importantly, the bullet time and incredibly intens💃e and satisfying gory FPS gunplay. Dual-wielding pistols, assault rifles, and shotguns, you can mow down enemies in stylish slow motion as you escape a facility with no memory of why you're there in the first place.
In addition to Fear, influences of Crysis trickle in, since you also have a cloak𝓰ing ability that helps you take down enemies stealthily, should you choose not to go at it guns blazing. Overall, Trepang2 is a pretty epic FPS shooter that can rival some of those being made by AAA studios.
1 Dredge
- Developer: Black Salt Games
Dredge is a fishing sim with a hint of Lovecraftian horror mystery in its narrative. The core gameplay loop is steering your boat around a chain of islands and using your equipment to bring in fish to sell for more upgrades.
