In this week’s episode of The Indie-Credible Podcast, Xander and Jeff dig into a hot topic: Are modern RPGs just… too slow? They explore pacing, bloat, and what makes classic RPGs feel tighter and more satisfying.
The hardware spotlight lands on the newly announced Mister Multisystem2, and Jeff gives his thoughts on what this retro powerhouse means for collectors, preservationists, and anyone who wants an FPGA-driven blast from the past.
For the randomized game of the week, the guys dive into Enchanted Portals—a visually striking platformer that clearly channels Cuphead, but does it deliver on gameplay? Opinions may differ…
In the On the Horizon segment, they check out:
Captain Blood – A retro-inspired throwback that’s getting buzz
Hypcampex – A stylish and mysterious title that might sneak up on folks
Snakecremental – A bizarre mix of Snake and incremental mechanics that’s weirdly addictive
It’s an episode packed with retro tech hype, indie deep dives, and tough questions about where RPGs are headed. Tune in and join the discussion!
