Terry Cavanagh's VVVVVV and Spry Fox's Road Not Taken among a host of new indie games confirmed for PS Vita
They'll be indie PSN Store
Sony has announced a raft of new indie games that are heading to the PS Vita in the coming weeks and months over on the US PlayStation Blog.
We thought we'd gather them all up and plop them into one handy article so you can check them out at your leisure without straining the muscles in your link-clicking finger.
And if anyone goes on at you about there not being any games for Vita, just point that person at this post and then laugh. Right in that person's face.
First up, there's Terry Cavanagh's really rather exceptional hardcore platformer VVVVVV.
It's being ported to Sony's handheld by Nicalis, and is all about leading a happy little spaceship captain through a massive world filled with spikes and pits and other things that will kill him.
The clever twist is a gravity-flipping mechanic that enables you to bounce on the ceilings and navigate your way through insanely tough labyrinths of spikes, death, and other spacemen.
It's great. We gave the 3DS version a Gold Award, so you know it's going to be ace.
Then, there's Cosmic Star Heroine from Zeboyd Games, the developer of Cthulhu Saves The World and Breath of Death VII.
Cosmic Star Heroine is a 16-bit style RPG about a government agent, one Alyssa L'Salle, who gets outed as a super-spy and champion of the people.
In one fell swoop, then, she earns a legion of adoring fans and the attention of every criminal organisation she's ever encountered. It's up to you to help her survive and find out why she's been double-crossed.
If that's not enough, Spry Fox's Robert Frost-inspired puzzling roguelike Road Not Taken is also Vita-bound.
The game looks absolutely gorgeous, and is all about the choices you make in life. You're a cute little wizard creature, too. Which is cool.
No two playthroughs will be the same as you explore a forest in the aftermath of a huge snowstorm. You'll have to deal with lost children, apparently impassable obstacles, and wild animals. And it's by the team that made Triple Town.
Last but not least, there's Dustforce, a time attack platformer that was released on PC last year. This one's being published by Capcom, and centres on brooms and sweeping, or something like that.
It'll boast support for Sony's Cross-Play initiative, and looks pretty damn great.
So, there you go: four new indie games to keep your fingers interested and your brain engaged. We'll keep you posted about release dates and prices as soon as we find them out. Because, well, that's basically our job.
