I’m really in the mood for a game like Shovel Knight after listening to some chiptune tracks the other day. Something fair, but challenging would be ideal. Must have a good soundtrack!
Along these lines I’ve already played:
- Shovel Knight
- Celeste
- The Messenger
- Hollow Knight (well, in terms of the difficulty not the music)
Does anyone know of any I’ve missed? They don’t necessarily have to be modern indie games - old NES/SNES games for example. SMB3 and SMW are classics.
I haven’t seen this mentioned yet, so I’ll say it: The End is Nigh. Shit’s hard as balls but very fair and rewarding to play, only go for it if you’re a real glutton for punishment.
Axiom verge is a really fun metroidvania and from what I remember it has a killer soundtrack, synthwave. N++ is another platformer I highly recommend, awesome music, easy to learn and hard to master
Rainbow island and the New Zealand story used to be my favourites. But I hate platformers, so not sure how that goes. At least there’s some progression of difficulty in RI.
I think you need to play Pizza Tower
Not really a platformer, and not really chiptune, but Katana Zero is pretty fucking great in the gameplay, music and story department.
