Indie Game Releases of the Week: March 14 to 20, 2022

This week in indie games, we have the action-adventure games Anno: Mutationem and Tunic, freaky pet sim Wobbledogs, and more.

Most of our indie game picks this week involve fighting enemies in various forms – be it as a giant kaiju monster, a small fox with a sword, a sleek specialist in a cyberpunk world, or turn-based combat with a band of settlers on a journey. And then there’s Wobbledogs, a simulation game about taking care of adorable mutant dogs. Everyone needs a breather, right?

Be sure to check out the other original releases below our featured picks, including such titles as Mad Streets, Hyperbolica, Capybara Spa, Shredders, Kur, Aethernaut, and more!

Dawn of the Monsters

March 15 on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch

Dawn of the Monsters is a side-scrolling beat-em-up about massive kaiju monsters battling it out for the survival of Earth. You control gigantic combatants dispatched to take down similarly large monsters called the Nephilim. You can choose from four playable characters (with 2-player co-op), upgrade your monsters, unleash devastating attacks, and destroy cities and other environments.

Wobbledogs

March 15 on PC, Mac

Wobbledogs is a pet simulation game in which you can take care of virtual, wobbly dogs in a stress-free and vibrant environment. These wobbly dogs have a simulated genetics system, causing them to mutate over time in unusual ways. You also get to create and decorate their habitat, interact with them, and revel in their uniqueness.

Tunic

March 16 on PC, Mac, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S

Tunic is an exploration-heavy action-adventure game about a small fox on a big adventure. You’ll be exploring a mysterious and interconnected land full of lost legends, battling mighty bosses and enemies, discovering secrets, puzzles, and treasures, and collecting strange and powerful items.

Anno: Mutationem

March 17 on PC, PS4, PS5

Anno: Mutationem is an action-adventure game set in a cyberpunk world in which you control a combat-trained lone wolf named Ann in a thriving Metropolis full of shady corporations, fringe groups, and bizarre characters. The game features a blend of 2D action and 3D exploration. As you unravel the mysteries and conspiracies of the city, you’ll also be fighting opponents with everything from guns to giant swords to rocket launchers.

Royal Frontier

March 18 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch

Royal Frontier (Steam) is a strategy adventure game in which you create a party of heroes from a group of settlers on a caravan. Your goal is to cross the dangerous frontier and protect the caravan from deadly bandits and monsters.
