This week, we have another great indie game review. Lakan sat down with Wardrum, the indie turn-based rhythm roguelite that puts the "Crypt of the Necrodancer" formula on its head. Lakan plays the game and gives his honest thoughts about gameplay, story, and of course, the music.

Wardrum is available now on Steam for $19.99: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2680670/Wardrum/

Lakan is on the move! This week, Lakan and his friend Jack head to Too Many Games in Philadelphia, PA to experience all the games. The guys recap their convention experience and found two killer indie games: Brave Escape, a 2 player co-op platformer, and Dojo Master, a simplified 2 button fighting game that is very fun and accessible.

This week, the guys celebrate a first — an indie game dev approached them about reviewing their game! Jeff and Lakan review Particulitix, a retro-inspired roguelike action shooter, complete with tons of shoot-em-up action and a booming soundtrack to match.

The guys had their hands full this week, when they went through EVERY SINGLE GAME from Summer Games Fest, Xbox Games Showcase, Sony State of Play, and Nintendo Direct and gave their thoughts. Sometimes, those thoughts were well-thought-out, other times, they were bursts of insanity brought on by exhaustion and a child's upcoming bedtime.

What game(s) from the weekend piqued your interest the most? Let us know in the comments!

This week, we have another twofer for the people! Jeff gives Lakan the indie survivorlike Grind Survivors, while Lakan gives Jeff the cute Snake-esque title SNKRX. The guys recap their experiences with their games, give some pretty honest feedback, and realize a lot about themselves and the games they recommended to the other.
