@polykillpodcast.bsky.social My niece got to experience her first ever CRT gaming experience today. She loved Super Mario Bros, she thought Bubble Bobble was just OK, but she helped me #JustBeatIt on her first ever TMNT game, Turtles in Time. Fellas, we created a beat-em-up fan! Cowabunga out of 5.

CrossCode might be my favorite indie game, but it has a rough, confusing intro before it sings. The combat, puzzles, and story are great, but the accessible difficulty options are a real star, allowing you adjust both combat damage and puzzle timing by 10% increments. 90% was just right for me!

I've been replaying CrossCode (2018) and I think it's become one of my favorite games of all time. It's an SNES-style action-RPG inspired by Zelda and Secret of Mana set within a fictional MMORPG. Strong combat, good jokes, devious puzzles. If you haven't played it, you should

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustbeatIt Wildfrost has gotta be the hardest roguelike deck builder I’ve ever played. Unfortunately, its difficulty makes it inaccessible to all but the true sickos, but it has fun turn-based mechanics like moving fighters around two battle lanes. Easy mode please! 4/5
The title screen for Wildfrost, played on an Xbox Series X. This screenshot shots an example of the gameplay. The player’s fighters are placed in two rows on the left half, where they battle against the enemies on right half. The characters’ actions go off when their countdown timer at the bottom of their card reaches zero. The player can play one card from their hand per turn, which can be used to buff your heroes, attack your enemies, or summon new heroes. The Victory screen that shows after winning your first run. The main hero card of your run is shown on the left, next to stats and meta progression unlocks. The stats for this run: “Rudge: Snow applied: 73. Damage dealt: 987. Charms gained: 10. Highest damage dealt: 23. Blings from combos: 95. Damage blocked: 42.” The credits for Wildfrost, which are accessible from the title screen. “Thank you for playing! Will Lewis: Programming & Design.

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social Shogun Showdown is a puzzle-like roguelike deck builder with combat that kinda feels like dancing? Or chess? …No, boxing! You’re constantly hopping in and out of enemy range, jabbing, then floating away like a butterfly. #JustBeatIt, but there’s more to explore here. 4/5
This screenshot from Shogun Showdown, played on a Steam Deck, shows the game’s shop. My deck is below, with several cards that have reached their full enhancement limit. For 20 of my 50 coins, I could buy an enhancement to one of my weapons that would increase to cooldown by 1, but would add Perfect Strike, where the attack’s cooldown would instantly recharge if it was used to remove the exact amount of HP the enemy had remaining. The shop also offers other items, enhancements, and permanent upgrades that can be purchased for various currencies. This screenshot was taken when beating the game. “VICTORY” is displayed, as well as an unlocked achievement that says, “Quest completed — Shogun Slayer: Defeat the Shogun” It also displays the run stats: “New highest day: 1 New best time: 1:06.1 New best turns: 1089 New best combo: 73 New best hits: 30” This screenshot shows the cutscene that plays after completing your first run. The prohibits is sitting at a campfire, and someone says, “…but of course, it wasn’t over.” The cutscene continues; “and that was just the beginning…”

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt Defender’s Quest 2 really grew on me. Sure, it’s not as good as the first, but it’s still a great character-building tower defense game. It’s a miracle this game came out after a 12-year development hell, and it deserves respect for what it accomplishes. 4/5
A screenshot showing the gameplay of Defender’s Quest II: Mists of Ruin (PC, 2025). Characters are placed in special tower squares where they automatically attack any enemies that pass by their area of attack. The goal is to protect the two home bases. This screenshot shows the story exposition that occurs between stages. The main protagonist Evni Hunt says, “I will gladly sacrifice the opinion of a CRIMINAL to ensure the job gets done. Do I make myself clear?” A message from the developers that displays after beating the game. “Thank you for playing Defender’s Quest 2. Making this game has been a long, difficult 12-year journey.” The scrolling credits that displays after beating Defender’s Quest 2. Patrick McCarthy: Lead game design and balance. Programming.

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt Westerado: Double Barreled is a great introduction to sandbox RPGs like Fallout or Skyrim where you have the freedom to do or kill whatever you want but without the 60-hr time commitment. The genre isn’t for me, but it’s a neat little spaghetti western! 7/10
The main menu for Westerado: Double Barreled, played on a Steam Deck. The save file for slot 1 shows that the cowboy protagonist is wearing a blue cowboy hat, a red scarf, a thin black tie, a blue jacket, red pants, and fine pair of boots. He has $29, the time is 4:59, and the map is 143% explored. The protagonist is standing over the murderer, who is dying of gunshot wounds. The murderer says, “Since the fire, how many- ‘sputter’ How many folks are dead cause you killed ‘em? Fifty?! A HUN’RED?!” This pixelated scene from the credits shows the black night sky with the halo of a full moon glowing over a dusty, Western valley in various shades of red. The scrolling credits of Westerado: Double Barreled. The pixelated scenery shows a sunrise cresting in the distance over a dry, mountainous landscape.

@polykillpodcast.bsky.social #JustBeatIt Defender’s Quest, a top-10 all time game, is a 2012 indie Tower Defense RPG that miraculously just released a sequel against all odds. I could spend a whole @indiequestpod.com episode explaining all the aspects that make it so good, but it’s a triumph. 💎 5/5
The title screen for Defender’s Quest: Valley of the Forgotten (PC) played on a SteamDeck. This screenshot shows the Tower Defense gameplay, where 6 heroes are positioned strategically around enemy pathways to protect Azra, the protagonist. This screenshot shows a scroll that displays after beating the main game. It says, “New Game+ Unlocked! Congratulations! You can now start a new adventure with your old party! Face mutant enemies with new abilities, infuse your equipment with amazing new powers, and stock your library with many new books. Engage in numerous new side-quests with additional cutscenes and story, unlock developer commentary, translate Eztli-Tenoch’s speech, meet new characters, and so much more! Go to the save screen and select NEW GAME+ on your old save slot. You can return to your “regular” game at any time. Continue” The scrolling credits for Defender’s Quest. “Level Up Labs, LLC Lars Doucet, FortressofDoors.com: Programming, Game Design, Systems Design, Interface Design, Art Cleanup.
