I’ve been keeping my eye on both of these games for awhile but I wasn’t sure if either one of them really deserved a post here. But since they both released this week I figure one post for both games is sufficient. I should mention I haven’t bought either one yet, I just thought others here might be interested.

CyberCorp is a top-down twin-stick looter-shooter. So kind of like The Ascent or Ruiner but with less story. Each mission is just clearing out enemies in a cyberpunk setting, collecting loot, and deciding what you want to keep/toss. Here’s a trailer.

Kiborg is a rogue-like beat-em-up that basically uses the Batman Arkham combat system. So if you lock-on to an enemy and attack, it doesn’t matter how far away you are from the enemy, the character will fly across the room to land the punch (just like Batman). So the entire game is basically just an endless stream of the combat from the Batman Arkham games. This game also has guns though. The plot is: you’re stuck in a cyberpunk prison where the warden forces players to fight to the death in a Running Man style gameshow. Here’s a trailer.

Personally, I’m more intrigued by CyberCorp, but I have a tendency to play twin-stick shooters. Kiborg definitely looks like a more polished game but I don’t know if I could handle an endless stream of that style combat. I dunno, they’re both bargain-priced indie games; I’m sure they’re fine.
