Underplayed

Bo_Po and DiscoCola

On Underplayed, Bo_Po and DiscoCola review indie games of all kinds—the games with small budgets but big hearts, the lesser-known experiences with imaginative ideas. A typical episode has two main segments: first, we each reveal and review a game we"ve been playing in secret; then, we have an in-depth discussion on a prestigious title within the indie landscape.

Gomez, one of indie gaming's classic little guys, is in for a shock as a new dimension reveals itself at the top of Villageville. The hunt for scattered cubes is on, and many innovative rotational puzzles are waiting as a 2D world becomes something entirely new. After more than a decade since release, it's time for us to take FEZ for a "spin."This is Underplayed, where Bo_Po and DiscoCola review indie games of all kinds!

What starts as a brooding action thriller quickly turns into a disorienting trip of hypnotic hallucinations and tantalizing dialogue trees.

Welcome to Season 7! What secrets lie hidden within Inscryption? Oh, but wait, are we talking about the card game Inscryption or the video game Inscryption? Perhaps looking closer at the cards can tell us mor- uhhh... is that a talking STOAT?

We've found the formula... for friendship and indie games! We become proud polyglots in a place inspired by the Tower of Babel, and along the way, we meet several cultures with very different lifestyles.

It's another milestone for us: our first proper sequel in the featured game spot! Axiom Verge 2 takes us to a strange Antarctica and an even stranger world beyond. What will billionaire Indra Chaudhari find there? What is Hammond Corp up to? How many times can we say "Amashilama" without getting tongue-twisted? Only by revisiting this universe and comparing its two games will we find the answers.This is Underplayed, where Bo_Po and DiscoCola review indie games of all

With all the world's flora gone, we enter a simulation where art and forgotten research intersect, looking for one last hope. 2D images become 3D environments, an inquisitive AI cat keeps us company, and we wonder what we might look like if we were to take a selfie.

What's your favorite pizza? Do you like cheese and that's it? Are you a pineapple person? Have you forsaken olives? In Pizza Tower, we can find all the toppings we want, but we must wall jump and body slam our way through big baddies like Pepperman, the Vigilante, and the Noise, all while controlling Peppino Spaghetti, indie gaming's most anxious protagonist.

The legendary game designer Jeppe Carlsen has a new studio and debut, and it's time to literally come out of our shells! As a beetle-like creature explores a world (within a world, within a world, etc.), we get the impression that something cosmic is at play—or maybe the Orb Guardian just wants to play a little tennis.This is Underplayed, where Bo_Po and DiscoCola review indie games of all kinds!

Blue, green, red, orange... are these Power Rangers? Assorted candies? Actually, they're knights! Castle Crashers is Season 6's co-op game, which we had the pleasure of playing with two others who are dear to us. It's a throwback to the days of yore, when a middle school sleepover meant energy drink-fueled gaming all night long. Is there more to it than the on-screen chaos, or is it all just nostalgia?This is Underplayed, where Bo_Po and DiscoCola review indie games of all

Many new sights can be found on the streets of Surabaya: stray cats in need of naming, a man in a duck costume, and a Quiz Trio in an alley, for example. There's something particularly extraordinary when it comes to student Atma and his girlfriend Raya, and we soon "spacedive" into the minds of their acquaintances in an unforgettable journey of trauma and healing. This is perhaps the most ambitious narrative of any game from our Season 5 lineup.This is Underplayed, where Bo_Po and

Engage your burst activators and set your velocity tensors to 100, because we've got Season 5's co-op game with Operation: Tango! One of us is the sneaky agent while the other is the resourceful hacker in a van elsewhere, so our success depends on how well we communicate. Describing colors, directions, numbers, and shapes—sounds easy, right?
