Trailer Trash – Indie Trailer Roundup
Every week at IGM HQ, we are sent an exuberance of trailers from developers who are reaching out for some attention. Understandably, we cannot give all of them the time of day they probably deserve, so we have come up with a cunning plan — round up as many of the trailers as possible in one article! See, cunning.
Anyway, below are some great trailers for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!
LAST DRAGON STANDING
“In this modern take on multiplayer Pong, become a Dragon and face up with three of your friends in an epic battle of fire spitting prowess! Conquer the realm to prove your might to the Dragon God!”
LAST DRAGON STANDING will be released sometime in November on an Xbox 360 near you!
AWIEN AMBUSH
“Awien Ambush is the lovechild of tower defense games and the action genre. In this game, you must defend yourself and your home from an alien invasion. The player experiences the thrill of guerrilla warfare as they festoon their house with traps and engage in melee skirmishes with the alien menace.”
AWIEN AMBUSH is available for free download from its Indie DB page.
IGNITE
“Running the same race twice in Ignite is a bit of a long shot. Each race brings something new in the game. Try winning the race by strategically choosing your car against your opponents, or switch between driving tactics during the race. The key factor in the game is SCORE. In Ignite, you collect your score while racing and every stunt or maneuver that is performed will award you with a certain number of points. Hitting objects, driving fast, drifting and drafting all add to your accumulated score. When you reach 1000 points, you can burn away your score as nitro, thus getting an edge over the others.
Being up front in Ignite offers the advantage of hitting more objects to rack up score, but be careful of those who decide to draft and subsequently blast past to the finish line. Hitting immovable objects during a scoring streak will cancel your accumulation so be wary while flamboyantly stunt driving. Even after crossing the finish line you will have to hold onto your seat as the score is added up: for every 1000 points a second is deducted off your time, in turn changing your final position after the race!”
IGNITE is now available as a retail release in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and the international Steam release is October 28th, 2011!
MANASTORM: LUST FOR GUTS
“Manastorm is a (PC only) multiplayer first-person caster – essentially, the hypermasculinised lovechild of Magicka and Counterstrike. Players must combine the elements to create spells with unique applications in a fast-paced, twitch shooter environment.”
An early version of MANASTORM: LUST FOR GUTS is available to download right here, FOR FREE!
SONAR
“SONAR is a small indie title about scientist Catherine Dubont stuck in a dark cave system 10 miles beneath the surface of the earth. To orientate she must use her SONAR-O-MATIC 3000 with which she can scan her surrounding by emitting sound waves.”
SONAR is now available to download exclusively from Indievania until October 31st when it receives its official release on other platforms.
