A key player in the video game, the small craftsman Devolver soon celebrates his 15th birthday. Avorton enters into the dreadful adolescence, the age where one continues to spit on AAA productions by competing originality with some cheap pixels. Like a nose to an entire industry that has stopped looking at itself in the playground with great reinforcement of teraflops, Devolver defends a punk vision with panache from the premises of the inde scene. Who doesn't know their staggered communication (and their hopping Gamescom stands)? Voracious, the little thumb became ogre until coveted markets. Now listed on the stock exchange, the American publisher is finally in the courtyard of the greats. An independence which one hopes to preserve as long as possible of the lusts of a farwest financial that has eaten more than one, sometimes even a floppy of a simple bite. The MaG team offers you a small (non-exhaustive) selection of the most striking games, past and future, from a catalog that is expanding more and more to well-defined proposals.

Hot Line Miami 1 (2012)
When I think about my sessionsMiami Hotline, it is above all a sound that comes back to me by echoes, that of the cranial box of an unhappy one that I violently break on the lino: « Splatch, Splatch, Splatch! ». Then I only wanted to revive her hypnotizing soundtrack, any electro-psychedelic that it is, and to remember those scenes of massacre that I was the hero.
Spiritual Successor of Super Carnage (never marketed), The Swede's baby from Dennaton Games is part of these games, just like the one from Dennaton Games.Ikaruga or Thumper, which send you in « Area », this state of intense concentration, paradoxically bubbling and serene, which wants nothing but the action on screen to count. Play Miami Hotline This is, the space of a few headsshots at the rhythm of the synths, the gloomy sensation of being the king of the world. A cult work.

Gods will be watching (2014)
Exercise very delicate that the one to write on Gods Will Be Watching, almost ten years after taking the credit. « On the razor wire » is the most appropriate expression to describe this point n-click that never stops making us embody characters victims (or actors) of dramatic and pressing situations, where the least of our decisions is likely to set the powders on fire, or even lead to the game over. As the latter is not necessarily instant, it allows the player to witness the narrative consequences of his choices, a story that does not repeat the same mistakes in the next game.
Taking hostages, surviving in the forest, managing a thirsty squad in the desert, the title of Deconstructeam saves the player nothing. Should I execute this captive, innocent and in tears, to intimidate his unfortunate companion and better delight him with confessions? Or eat up that poor, infusuous, radio-repairer who's starting to show signs of panic? If I convince the rest of my group to kill, can they still trust me as a leader? If there is one area in which Gods Will Be Watching excellent, it is in his propensity to make us feel uncomfortable with each of our actions.

Hotline Miami 2 , that's all that made the salt of the first opus, but full of adverb « plus » More levels, more music, more characters, more massacre. There is also a somewhat higher challenge for this suite, which manages to transcend its illustrious predecessor. In the meantime, We can dream, Hotline Miami 3 ?

Broforce (2015)
Bruce Campbell, Mister T, Wesley Snipes, Danny Trejo, Chuck Norris, Mel Gibson, Schwarzenegger, Van Damme, Clint Eastwood, Sigourney Weaver, Sylvester Stallone, Harrison Ford, Keanu Reeves, Jean Reno, Umma Thurman, Kurt Russel... you still want some? No, it's not the casting list of the next turnip. The Expendable, Smash Bros Hey! These are just some of the avatars playable in the run and gun and platformer Broforce. A parody of the action films of the 80s and 90s, the game developed by the prolific devs of Free Lives is a sleek condensation of action. Broforce a concept one cannot be simpler than one can decline in three phases: to pass through a level almost entirely destructible and generated randomly, to shoot down a boss and to defray in helicopter way Team Americaa.
During the game, prisoners can be released as in the series Metal Slug but instead of recovering guns, it allows to randomly change playable characters. Asymmetric gameplay requires, each of them has very different abilities specific to the licenses from which it is drawn. Happy mess in co-op with the screen that trembles with every shot of heavy weapons, Broforce is the definition of fun, even if one dies very often by oneself or because of his partner, a little too encapped by the idea of destroying the map with the chainsaw arm ofEvil Dead, on sex machine of the Machete, leg M40 of Planet Terror or the locust of Men In Black. « It was part of the contract. » They said! Devolver catalogue cult game, Broforce had an exemplary follow-up throughout his life with his casting regularly enriched with testosterone and steroids as we like.

Mother Russia Bleeds (2016)

The unfortunate were turned into guinea pigs and the organization experimented on these « rogue » Emeritus a whole new drug: the Nekro.

Mixing at crossover of Streets Of Rage (tested) Here), Blood Dragon and Hot Line Miami, Mother Russia bleeds is the first game of the studio that has since remained under the aegis of Devolver. Two years later, it is a completely different perspective that will irrigate the development of Heeve Ho.

Stories Untold (2017)
How to talk about Stories Untold Without revealing too much? Played with a milk last winter, the confusing title of Scots of No Code takes on a falsely episodic form, where each chapter invites us to tame an archaic gameplay at first glance. Thus, the first episode is a textual adventure to make Patrick Hellio blush; the second, he puts us in the skin of a scientist who follows the instructions given out of the field by a fellow to conduct a procedure on a living being. Animal? Human? The mystery is whole and the tension latent. I will keep the contents of the rest of the adventure so much the surprise effect matters. With a remarkable and extremely moving scenario, partly told through machine interfaces leading us to follow cryptic procedures that advance the story, Stories Untold will not leave you unharmed.

Ruin (2017)
Twin stick shooter Angrily developed by the Polish Reikon Games, Ruiner is one of our favourite arcade of this selection. He only has to see these graphics with glowing neon to guess a cyberpunk dystopia like you like. The frenetic action is carried out by a system of dash grizzly that allows us to avoid enemy fire at the last moment. Ruining is also based on constant aggressiveness and an affute katana, essential to pay off our actions with a drop of stylized blood.
A main menu with one main dish announced: « Kill the boss ». So we will have to climb up the pyramid to cut off the head of the man holding the strings of Heaven. A clear idea that appears brazenly on the helmet of Daft Punk of our hero ready for the Great Evening. Ruining is also based on constant aggressiveness and katana is essential to complete our actions with a beautiful drop of blood.

Genital Jousting (2018)
It is five o'clock in the morning at the time when I write this retrospective and here I am in front of my computer facing the brazen jacket of Genital Jousting. I could content myself with a simple comment of images while some bariolated penises proudly tie their tie around the glans. There is also this slightly shy athlete with a good dose of know-how, who wears his hooded sweatshirt, an essential winter accessory not to get cold at the end of the collar. At his side, another wears a small dot dress that recalls the first flowers of spring. Whether you are CEO or gentleman, small or gland big, Genital Jousting Thought about you.

The Red String Club (2018)
Have you ever entrusted yourself to a bartender, this guardian of one of the few socially accepted debauchery places? Have you ever had the impression, after a few glasses, that he was sounding your nose, ready to draw the worms? Well that's what you'll be forced to do in the title of Deconstructeam, decidedly gifted to create original proposals. You can mix your drinks according to your customers' cerebral alchemy. Guess their unsaid cravings, shake them in a shaker, serve on ice and, if you've done fly, these poor souls in need of affection will soon have made you reveal whole parts of their lives, revealing the plot to the player at the same time.

A little jewel, to which to play preferably one day of rain in a soft atmosphere, a cocktail with vermouth by hand.

I hat running backwards (2018)
Before hard players finish Dark Souls with a DDR carpet, there was I Hate Running Backwards. Formerly conceived as a (very) distant spin off of the cursed Serious Sam license that initially appeared in the title without we really know where the idea came from, the game is very quickly freed. Developed by the dads of The Talos Principe, exits the puzzle game and places a shoot them up where enemies come from the bottom of the screen this time.
What's the difference? Not much, you will tell me if it is the impression of being constantly carried by the enemy. Playable in multi, the various bonuses allow you to have access to overpowering weapons. Our small vox characters can return the projectiles by turning on themselves like a certain bandicoot. Simple but not simplistic though, the game remains a little snack not taken to start an evening video game between friends, even if the sound design A little poor is annoying in the long run.

The Messenger (2018)
Platform game sharp action to seductive pixel art, The Messenger makes us travel between the 8 and 16 bit eras via spatio-temporal portals. This title developed by the Quebecers of Sabotage Studio is not just a tribute to Shinobi. With a neat writing, its uncomplicated meta approach and its cleverly dosed humour notes especially in VO, the game met a deserved critical success when it was released. Its OST chiptun The gameplay was at the tip of the scalpel. The passage of portals from 8 bit to 16 bits instantly changed and the appearance of the title and the stamp of the OST. A brilliant idea and trademark of the title.
With its character of the volubile merchant, always ready to tell you about old Quebec legends, the game is not without charm. Funny and inventive The Messenger just lost a little pace in his last third where the game was opening at metroidvania. A slight pitfall that is freely forgiven. Like the franchise Steamworld, the game will be entitled to a suite in a whole other genre with Sea of Stars who will try at the RPG. We also recommend our Interview Martin Brouard, the studio confounder.

Grey (2018)
Gris, It was very pretty, but for God's sake, what was it? The title of Nomada Studio is part of these games, often referred to as « poetics » by the common of mortals, who try to hide the emptiness of their gameplay behind a sublime aesthetic, here from an animated watercolor. Enveloped in a black dress symbol of sadness (snif), it embodies a debunked and mute girl, in search, it seems, of her voice. You press a button from time to time, the music is relaxing, you hear the birds' gazes in the distance, suddenly all darkening... « BANG! »- What? It was the controller that fell to us. However, we were not all in agreement with the wording and for an opinion radically opposed to mine, we will let you appreciate the critical engaging in Outliner.

My friend Pedro (2019)
If we blamed him for being redundant in the game My Friend is Pedro, the title still deserves to appear in this selection for its own style. A man, a banana, guns and slow motionThis is how we can sum up DeadToast Entertainment. Cool idea, we can record giffs from our most successful pirouettes. The game is regularly sold out and we find it on steam for cheaper than a Kebab fries, so why not give it a chance soon? Unless a more complete suite is already in the cartons. My little birds whisper to me that it wouldn't be so surprising given Devolver's propensity to endure sequels.

Ape Out (2019)
Ape Out is above all a game of reflexes and constant improvisation as the unlikely encounter of Donkey Kong and Hot line Miami acid. Minimalist graphics to focus on essentials: gameplay! The game consists of a chain of levels generated in a procedural way and where you will control a fluo orange monkey anxious to escape from his torturers. The enemies are armed to the teeth, but in good avatar of King Kong, you will know how to retaliate properly by crushing everything in your passage.
Two buttons, one to catch humans like puppets, another to send them up against the walls or throw them out. Each disposal will be accompanied by a shot of timbales. When the pace accelerates, the percussions pack, in order to transform this charming butcher shop into a percussion concert. This audacious marriage still leaves me with some free jazz music in my head, while our bariolated frascs were involved in the musical composition. A game labeled Peta reserved for budding fans of the painter Pollock.

Katana Zero (2019)
If you're still reading us here, smart as a monkey, you should have already flaired that at Devolver, we like pixels like retro fiber revisited to the taste of the day. In the genre played gameplay and pixel art calibrated with the hair, Katana 0 is a condensed action, a die and retry where a brief moment of slow motion allows you to resume your breath between two bursts of machine guns. What's more grinning than running like an energist to slice into the lard?Those who played the game probably still remember this cry that marks the death of our hero before the reel is rewinded to put the cover back on. Katana VS Mitraille: what does the people demand?
Seven years after Hot Line Miami, Devolver declined the arcade formula to horizontal scrolling. With his Electro-melancholic OST, his gameplay in tune and his script well tied for an arcade game, at MaG we would sign well for a new episode. A tailor-made game for speedrun and perfect companion for score lovers. Since 2019, Askiisoft has remained very discreet, so who knows what they're up to?

Carrion (2020)

Carrion is an original game developed in Poland by Phobia Game Studio, already at the origin of the bloody Butcher. With such a pedigree, hemoglobin lovers should find their way. By offering to play the monster, Carrion reverses the steam and proposes a metroidvania I think it's time for attention.
At the crossoverAlien and The Thing, Carrion proposes to control an abomination that has been released from a lab. It is up to you to eradicate any other form of life that might hinder you and mutate to become ever more disgusting. A true score punctuated by the cries of the unfortunate people who cross your road and of the bloody Pollock way.

Fall Guys (2020)
FAll Guys, it's a bit like the macarena, everyone knows the principle but no one has perfect control of choreography. Resolutely focused on the user friendly side, Fall Guys had the chic to get out during the pandemic on almost every medium. Incidence or coincidence? We'll let Professor Raoult judge on the piece. Anyway, what an ideal timing when the entire planet was confined to a three-km-long Steam library.
Fall Guys It's Mario Party X Warzone X Intercity. Royal family battle, Fall Guys offers 60 players to overcome competitive obstacle races. Like Ravensburger games (forget the daron comparison), Fall Guys is a game from 7 to 77 years old. Happy shit in local as on-line, this is one of the great successes of the covid with Among us who knew how to assemble when everyone was separated. Resounding success, the title even entered the Guiness Book Records as the best-selling Playstation Plus game!

Incryption (2021)
Let's say it frankly, Daniel Mullins, the creator ofIncryptionI want you to do something wrong. Playing this horrific roguelite-style card game is taking the risk of losing the pedals. With an inventivity of every moment, twists more barred than each other, and an insolent genius that exudes every pixel, this monstrous hybrid sometimes makes you want to simmer with peanut butter, unscrew an edredon full of feathers over its head and scream « Cot-cot-cot-codec! », mouth towards the sky, eyes revulsed and fists on the hips, our elbows in triangle mimicing the wings that we will never have.

Shadow warrior 3 (2022)
SHadow Warrior I was guilty of winter two years ago. Clearly more permissive and less subtle than Doom In the approach, however, the gameplay remains devilishly effective. The weapons are all successful, the shots have impact and the hero's flexibility augurs for beautiful recaptures of the fly. Only the grapple remains a little too shy and lacks impact as speed when you throw yourself on an enemy. The set may seem a little rough sometimes and some collision problems may occur, but not always be brakes to the pleasure of playing intact. Shadow Warrior 3 remains an amuse-button of choice before the next game of the ID Software that we should hear about by the next E3.
Neither perfect nor missed, Shadow Warrior 3 is in the image of his hero: a little bit rough, sometimes heavy but with a very good background inside for anyone to dig. Perhaps it is an opportunity to give him a second chance while the final edition Just got out. On the best framerate menu on consoles, introduction of a welcome hardcore mode, new game plus, additional challenges and a premium survival mode. How to extend the lifespan of the title!

The synopsis presents a silent inn employee, identified by the Saint-Germain Account. He will become our mentor to better teach us how to strip our neighbor.

As the Earth increasingly resembles a climate-minute casserole, the chances of satisfying climate agreements are about as low as those of Ellon Musk to convert to eco-feminism. Damn to be taxedeco-anxiety, of climatevener oreco-constipated to each editorial expert of the novlangue BFM? Terra Nile is an oasis of serenity in the midst of the turpitude of a world in a hurry, a city builder inverted where the fauna and flora must be rebuilt by exploiting the surrounding green resources.
It's as refreshing as it is relaxing to play it and we recommend you try the demo before the release of the title expected on March 28. Behind this original proposal, it is again Free Lives that sticks to it. By the way, the South African publisher will give part of the profits of the game to the association Endangered Wildlife Trust, to anchor a little more Terra Nile in the stakes of a society that is blindly moving towards the sixth mass extinction. « Who could have predicted the climate crisis »...

After metroidvania retro Gato Roboto where one controlled a kind of meca-chaton space killer on big electro, all in a 2D scrolling in black and white (if, yes!), the American developers of Doinksoft sign an original new production at the crossroads of genres, I named Gunbrella. At Devolver, we like to say that it's a « action-adventure black-punk game » and the Steam demo suggests a game with a well tempered character. It's a full-blown bucheron in search of a mysterious man's armed revenge Gunbrella, polymorphic and prodigious propellant to fly into the air Mary Poppins way.
With his physics and his wall jump between Super Meat Boy and Celestial, the game also leaves a good part to the investigation in this farwest of gules and gangsters where resources are diminishing. The demo is engaging and we feel that the studio wants to get on with this new license! Verdict in 2023. We wait to see to what extent the game will renew a well-rounded formula and tend or not towards the die and retry in terms of difficulty.

Anger Foot (2023)
It's been a while since those who follow us know how much I enjoyed myself on the preview of anger foot that takes its foot to get languished. Die and retry affluence developed among the South African Free Lives, Anger Foot, is a little hot line Miami in 3D with a completely stupid concept. At the first person we liquidate the levels of the foot by recovering the weapons from our enemies. From beginning to end everything is done from the tip of the toe. Reply to the handset, eat popcorn or unpick the fratz of your neighbor: same fight!
The quest for the perfect run is all the more satisfying as the aggressiveness necessary for those who want to break the clocks is sanctioned by an increased level of difficulty, since your life bar will never have time to regenerate. On the contrary, the poltrons will still be able to go there slower by taking the time to recover their breath between each room. A choice of game design intelligent and likely to satisfy all audiences. One thing is certain, when looking for the perfect score, the slightest fault and it is the foot in the safe grave. A game that we hope to see coming soon! In the meantime, do not hesitate to read our preview !

About latter, we also drink plenty of coffee " The title has a fighting system that rests on one and the same button with a succession of icons that chain onto the screen.

I'm surprised that Anger Foot still hasn't come out. So the Free Lives studio seems to be continuing a lot (too much?) of projects at the same time, but the game was already quite well advanced during last year's Gamescom demo.
Maybe it's a matter of timing. This is the one that I expect most with Skate Story and Karmazoo in a diametrically opposite genre.
