Free Download: Mercenary Kings

I believe you've all played at least once the old Metal Slug, am I right? Literally everyone has passed through that stage of his life. And now that Mercenary Kings has finally hit the stable full version, it will bring you back at those arcade shooting times you might have forgot.

Like it's been said, our free download reminds definitely of the king of all the platformer shooters, except that this one is much more coloured and astoundingly more polished in regards of plot as well as graphics. Which, don't get me wrong, they're still 2D, but the pixel art that you're about to see while jumping into the action feels just too good to not mention it.

In Mercenary Kings you can decide to join whichever quest is available, and they're divided into gathering ones - that are needed mostly for the peculiar crafting system - rescues, and even killing missions. Having an 360 controller may perhaps be better if you wish to try it out, because despite it being completely playable without it, I felt like the game was definitely meant to be played with one of them.

Free Download: LUFTRAUSERS

We know that you've been waiting for this, in fact, we all were! Vlambeer's next big hit that came out on Steam as well as GOG.com earlier this week has finally landed here as a free download! LUFTRAUSERS was just a nice and easy flash game a couple of years ago, though if we now look at it, nothing would suggest how it all started.

It's a fun arcade shooter with simple controls that however, offers an enormous replayability value capable of entertaining you for days without becoming boring, at all! The concept is quite easy though, you're going to be playing a fully customizable plane in a cruel warfare where the other planes will most likely try to take you down running straight into your body, and the boats are featured with powerful cannons.

The color palette is somewhat phenomenal, and the concept of stopping to shoot in order to repair any damage you've suffered made me question why didn't we see a nice idea like this until now. Keep your combo multiplier high and get all the achievements to unlock different weapons, propulsion systems and bodies. LUFTRAUSERS isn't just good because of how brilliant are the minds behind this, but it's great because despite being new, I believe that almost any machine will be able to run it.

The free download is as always down here, get your rauser, complete the easy tutorial and you're already set to go!

Free Download: Dunmaku Unlimited 2

It's been a while since we released something, we struggled a lot to find anything worthwhile but today we're determined to finally do something about this. Dunmaku Unlimited 2 came out on Steam the last week after having been on Desura for quite a while, we tried it, and we fell in love at first sight.

It's a top down shooter that comes with the Asian aesthetics that we've all seen throughout our videogaming experiences, I believe. This free download means a lot to us, because on top of breaking our silence, it managed to bring back some memories of when at least we used to play such games on arcade cabins. It's a great bullet hell in terms of music as well as flashing colors. The gameplay is however pretty straightforward, but in the end of the day, this is all we could hope for.

Big numbers and great combo values will also put you in the position of entering a sort of power mode that will surely help you in the deadly boss battles. Throw in some fancy ways of customizing your spaceship that will alter the way you shoot and here you have the formula of the perfect fun provided by Dunmaku Unlimited 2.

Free Download: Infested Planet

Infested Planet has been on Steam with the early access formula for months, though when yesterday it finally reached the version 1.00, it immediately started to draw much more attention than before. Therefore, it took us less than a minute to decide that our next free download had to be it.

It's a top-down RTS that will let you control just 5 soldiers in their quest to survive hordes of aliens that invaded the earth's outposts. Surrounded by the invaders, you'll have to decide how to split your marines, how many resources do you want to spend during the waves, and at the same time move forward to conquest what was once lost.

Yet, unlike many RTSs, Infested Planet can be definitely considered a game for everyone. Its slow pace lets you adjust your moves in real time, and the easy controls set to work with the usage of just your mouse (and really a couple of keyboard's buttons) are extremely easy to learn. The campaign is divided in quests that will however become significantly harder towards the end, and as a matter of fact, I guess it'll keep me entertained for at least a few more days.

The free download can be found right below here and the installer takes 45MB or your hard drive. You have no excuses to skip this one!

Free Download: The Yawhg

We weren't exactly planning to give this one a try, we like good looking games, and The Yawhg is definitely one of those, and yet, when asking around for our possible next release the name came out a limited amount of times. Though you know, we've also had a lot of games that started out small but ended up by being a tremendous hit, and in the end of the day, here is our free download of this one.

The Yawhg can be seen as a text-based RPG, but of course, the artwork is perhaps one of the greatest features of the game. The original soundtrack is completely what you would expect from a game like this one, and despite the limited length, the almost infinite paths that you can take along the 6 in-game weeks make the whole experience wonderful to start over with a smile on your face.

You can choose to play with up to 4 character, and your goal is to train through many occupations in order to gain useful stats that will be needed for when the most feared storm will hit the city. Literally everything is useful, but at every weekend will come with a challenge that you'll have to face. From it, you can either gain more strength, but also lose more that what you've gotten throughout the entire week of hard work.

I loved how everything can drastically change with just a wrong choice, and I hope that you'll like that too! The free download is always right below here, have fun!
