This review only covers the latest version (0.7.1) of the demo available for download on the Faerie Afterlight Steam page. All views and opinions that are expressed in this article is not representative of the game\u2019s full release.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Year after year, major publishers such as the likes of EA, Ubisoft, Activision-Blizzard and to name several more release teaser, announcement, gameplay and cinematic trailers that give us a good preview of the next big AAA title and IP to stoke the flames of the hype train even more with varying degrees of success. Some being more successful than others upon the full release at the end of the year. And still bringing in tens of millions of dollars in sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that is a pretty big reason why I\u2019ve always leaned towards indie titles and releases rather than the next <em>God of War<\/em> release instead (though I\u2019m still looking forward to that!). Rather than allocating a good chunk of the budget to marketing efforts. Building up as much hype as they can to draw in early pre-order sales than the big-budgeted publishers. Studios like these are small in nature comprised of a team of passionate people. One that puts in their heart and soul to creating the best game they can. All they need is a trailer that show the final stages of the game. And people will start rolling on in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you\u2019re looking for some real diamonds in the rough in the world of indie gaming, then you\u2019ve got to look deeper. Case in point, itch.io is basically a gold mine of some of the best game titles in <strong>very<\/strong> early-access that you\u2019ve never heard of before. Many of them even giving the high-profile indie games a run for their own money and even releasing full games for free!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why am I bringing up itch.io? Well that\u2019s where I\u2019ve first discovered <em>Faerie Afterlight<\/em> and downloaded the alpha. Shortly after being underwhelmed by the entirety of the game. It was laughably simple and incredibly barebones, but it at least the artwork looked nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Credits<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Author: Ryan L.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Game: Faerie Afterlight<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Developer: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.claygamestudio.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external\">Clay Game Studio<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Publisher: Mastiff<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Release Date (Demo): Summer 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1415280\/Faerie_Afterlight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external\">Steam<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read our feature winner article on this game <a href=\"https:\/\/muse.international\/faerie-afterlight-is-an-indie-metroidvania-title-you-cant-miss\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jump across hazards and befriend your foes in the cutesy Faerie Afterlight game demo available for download today!
