Narrative, Base One deals with an apocalyptic scenario in which all of earth and mankind is threatened by a wormhole that wreaks havoc on the planet. Base One from developer Pixfroze and publishers Blowfish and Gamera is the latest one, though it will also receive console versions further down the line.
There certainly is no shortage of choices within the space base builder/management genre, especially for gamers who play on Steam. Trophy hunters will likely also be interested, since it’s a fairly short game with an easy to obtain platinum trophy.
Most levels don’t require any precision platforming, which makes this is a good one for puzzle fans in particular.
#BASE ONE STUDIO HOW TO#
Expect the usual pushing of objects onto press plates, stacking ice cubes on top of one another, and figuring out how to use them to get to the exit while being mindful of how many cubes you have for a particular level. If you enjoy this type of game, however, then it’s a solid diversion. There are 40 levels in total, and with most being fairly straightforward this is a relatively short experience fitting its budget price point. Your main character is dressed nice and warm, but can cast ice cubes to help him reach the exit portal in each level. Visually, this one is a fairly typical 2D single screen type of retro game – the kind is quite prevalent in the indie scene, with its 8/16-bit style graphics and intuitive mechanics.Įxpect lots of blue and white to underline the nature of the game’s freezy environments, which also ties into the gameplay a bit. Gameplay-wise, 0 Degrees takes players to icy cold environments, but it’s a very different kind of experience than the one in Subnautica: Below Zero. It’s out for all major consoles, includes next gen compatibility, and can be purchased for a budget price. These aren’t always clearly signposted, unlike situations where you face off against a boss before progressing.īetween the various upgrades, the beautiful presentation and diverse gameplay, this is an action puzzler that indie fans will want to check out.Īnother week, another indie release from Eastasiasoft! 0 Degrees wants to be at the top of your alphabetically sorted games list, but also wants to scratch that indie puzzle game itch. You’ll regularly run into dead ends, which is where the metroidvania elements come in and you need to hunt for new abilities or keycards that open up new areas. This is especially useful to consider when you’re faced with the wave/arena-style battles you’ll come across, although health can be replenished with a few pickups as well. Health is shared between you and your ‘avatar’ though, so you can’t just go crazy and hide in the shadows once you’re hacked in. This is often the key to the game’s challenges, from attacking enemies to solving puzzles, as our little protagonist is limited in what he can do without help.
You can control many of them to aid you in your quest though, and this creates a twin stick mechanic where control of the ‘hacked’ robot transfers to the right stick.
Not all other robots are friendly, and they might have something to do with the fact that humans aren’t around anymore, so you’ll need to be careful. The campaign unfolds over the course of only a handful of worlds, but it’s a surprisingly long journey. In a world now devoid of humans, you’re a little robot with some problems of your own but with the ability to control other machines around you. Part Machinarium, part El Hijo – A Wild West Tale, the endearing robots and colorful isometric visuals, this is a beautifully designed puzzle/metroidvania title that’s out for PCs and consoles. Three very different indie productions to discuss today – we look at action puzzler/metroidvania Retro Machina, 2D retro puzzler 0 Degrees and the sci-fi management sim Base One.ĭeveloped by Orbit Studio and published by, Retro Machina is one of those indie games with instant appeal because of how charming it looks.
