Rustler
Published by: Modus Games, Games Operators
Developed by: Jutsu Games
Usual RRP: £19.49
“Rustler is an open-world, top-down action game paying tribute to the good old GTA-style and gameplay, fusing it with a historically inaccurate medieval setting.
Play as ‘The Guy’, whose parents apparently were too lazy to give him a proper name. Experience feudal injustice, inquisition, witch-hunting, and join The Grand Tournament. Meet valiant, yet incredibly stupid knights. Complete a wide variety of twisted missions and quests, or don’t give a damn about the plot and bring mayhem in the villages and cities. Choose to go on foot, or by a stolen horse. Fight with a sword or pick a fancy automatic crossbow.
All that, spiced up with an inappropriate Monty Python-inspired sense of humour”.
Humble
The Henry Stickmin Collection
Published by: InnerSloth
Developed by: Puffballs United
Usual RRP: £11.39
“The Henry Stickmin Collection is a Newgrounds choose-your-own-path classic, reborn and revitalised.
This six-game epic culminates in multiple entirely canon, extremely different endings. Each step of the journey has you choose from options such as a Teleporter or calling in your buddy Charles to help you out. Correct choices will move the story forward, but incorrect choices lead to a fail.
If you get to the end on your first try, you’re doing it wrong. Failing is half the fun”.

Retrowave
Published by: RewindApp
Developed by: RewindApp
Usual RRP: £1.69
“Neon lights, palm trees, synthwave, ’80s supercars speeding down an endless highway… Welcome to the world of Retrowave!
Listening to Synthwave/’Retrowave‘, most people have had this feeling of nostalgia for an era they didn’t know or that never existed. The Retrowave is very much inspired by the ’80s, but is mostly an idealised futuristic version of the ’80s.
This game offers the player the unique experience of being immersed in this wonderful world for at least a few moments…”
