It’s no surprise that mobile is offering up some choice cuts of indie gaming. Perfect for newer devs to get started in, but increasingly harder to get recognised, Indie is, despite the saturated markets, still faring much better in the digital sector than some others.

Indie means you can adapt, Indie embraces the change in audiences. Indie can go hella niché, son.

You want a relaxing game about meditation and fixing broken pots? Indie has you covered (Kintsuroki). Want to become a stealthy werewolf? A mountain? A blinded professor trying to navigate a city full of monsters? No problem (Werewolf Tycoon, MTN & Blindside). If you’re a fan of indie devs, get your shovel and dig deep.

The best way to ensure we continue getting a choice of different games is to look past the big hitters getting released across multiple platforms. Give the studios who can’t aren’t chasing the instant freemium hit a moment of your time and some support. They could use it most.

Phoenix lives in the North East of England and gets paid to hide that fact in voiceovers. She's also a writer, a/v editor and someone who spends a frankly ridiculous amount of time gaming. She can't resist an amiibo. She will talk your ear off about videogames, wrestling, comics, bad films and My Little Pony.
