PODCAST

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.

What can you find in common between a scarecrow, a catapult, a minotaur, a Valkyrie, a cactus, and a dude who hurls swords telekinetically? First, they're all wobbly, and second, they can all join your army in Totally Accurate Battle Simulator! How we mix and match our units is entirely up to us, and in TABS, everyone experiences the campaign, multiplayer, sandbox, and creation modes in their own way. Let's look each other googly eye to googly eye and unlock some secret units. This is

From swallowing things with a hole in the previous episode to digging holes in this episode, we proudly announce our surprise seasonal theme of HOLES! Just kidding, but we do have a review of the first game in a legendary indie franchise. Our hero Rusty has a lengthy downward trek, so let's hope we don't run out of steam.

Donut County is an idyllic place for fans of the outdoors. It's also a love letter to Los Angeles with many animal residents, but where have they all gone? As we grow our holes and complete our Trashopedias, we realize there's perhaps something... deeper... going on. An obliviously evil raccoon must answer for his actions, but priorities come first: he's earned enough points for a quadcopter drone.

Armed with just one arrow in his quiver, a little guy searches for purpose and truth in a world full of dangerous titans. Many questions come to us as we explore some impossibly lonely ruins: How did we get here, what are the connections between this adventure and Death's Door, and how quickly can we shoot an arrow at a yeti's bare buttocks? Some answers are elusive; others may surprise you. This is Underplayed, where Bo_Po and DiscoCola review indie games of all kinds! Timestamps 00:00 -

Welcome to Season 5! This is the story of a podcast called Underplayed. Bo_Po and DiscoCola co-hosted this podcast, and their job was simple: they sat in their chairs and pushed buttons on their controllers. Graphics came to them through screens on their desks, telling them what buttons to push, how long to push them, and in what order. This is what Bo_Po and DiscoCola did every day of every month of every year. They were happy. And then one day, something very peculiar happened; something that

What is the phenomenon of TOEM, exactly? Here's a cheeky secret we're only let in on after using our cameras throughout several Scandinavian regions. In this black and white world, we must make our way to the Kiiruberg mountaintop and see for ourselves. It's quite a long journey, but luckily, we've packed plenty of cassettes for our Hikeladies.

There are but a handful of titles in the pantheon of OG indies. More than a decade old, these games started a subcultural wave that's still going strong to this day. Limbo is one such game, and we have deep histories with it. It's time to explore this eerie sensation once again for our review—in the dark.

For a podcast all about reviewing video games within a small window of time, what's more fitting than featuring a Metroidvania in which every single character—yours included—has a ticking clock until becoming too far gone? There's much to do, but our priorities differ. Save us some meteor dust if we seem to run out of time. This is Underplayed, where Bo_Po and DiscoCola review indie games of all kinds!
