Two indie RPGs came to our attention this weekend. The first of them is Liminal LLC's Bevontule, a turn-based fantasy RPG that has been quietly in development for over a year. According to the game's website, it's inspired by various Japanese tactical RPGs, but at least aesthetically it seems like a typical post-2000 western fantasy RPG. Bevontule is scheduled for release in Q2 2017, and there are several demos already available, including a "pre-alpha demo" released a few days ago. You can grab those here. The game doesn't have a proper trailer yet, but there are numerous WIP gameplay videos on Liminal's YouTube channel. Here's the most recent one:


The other indie RPG we learned about this weekend is Cannibal Cat Software's Bludgeons & Krakens. It's a very different sort of game - a retro-styled turn-based RPG that combines the aesthetics and design of classic Ultima with the simple loot-driven gameplay of Diablo. It doesn't have any videos, so here are a few screenshots instead:


Bludgeons & Krakens was released just a few days ago, and is available for free on itch.io. Pretty cool!
