Retro fans, here is something for you today. Indie developer Poor Locke is working on a new 2D action platformer with Metroidvania elements, called Unbeliever. Unbeliever is inspired by Castlevania and modern classics like Dark Souls, and aims to ramp up the challenge of the generic action platformer.
Unbeliever is currently planned for a Q2 2017 release, and there is a Steam Greenlight page for it.
Poor Locke has also released a demo for Unbeliever. Those interested can go ahead and download it from here.
Thanks Alt-Tab
John is the founder and Editor in Chief at DSOGaming. He is a PC gaming fan and highly supports the modding and indie communities. Before creating DSOGaming, John worked on numerous gaming websites. While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”

It looks very amateurish. The animations are a bit poor, the movement looks floaty, and to me it looks like you’re a little too zoomed in. Reminds me of freeware games from many years ago before the indie boom. When indie essentially meant free games people made for fun. The art’s kind of nice. Reminds me a bit of a mobile game though. Upon looking it up, it is. Which explains a lot about the design.
Hate to say it, but it probably won’t do all too well. I hope they manage to improve it a lot before release.
