Best indie games on xbox 360 download#
I hope everyone checks out at least one of these indie gems on Xbox 360, but hey if you can’t buy them all because you’re saving some money to get an Indie Game Mag subscription, I’ll understand.Organized by developers themselves, the Indie Games Summer Uprising aims to showcase some of the download store's best wares, demonstrating the wide range of high quality titles on offer. So there you have it, 12 Games for 60 bucks. There’s even local multiplayer! $1! I must be dreaming, but every time I pinch myself Explosionade is still just 80 MSP. Explosionade is sort of like Contra – except it’s not as frustrating. Grenades blow up the environment and you have this crazy shield that lets you bounce around and crush enemies. In Explosionade, you control a badass mech and blast baddies away in the sewers. This is my absolute favorite Xbox Live Indie Game. The game has top-notch production values and is a blast to play. It’s sort of like Pac Man except you’re a tadpole and there are no ghosts. If you like blasting friends to bits, you’ve got to try this game.įluid is a fast and furious arcade game with amazing graphics.
There’s a ton of weapons, customized characters and class perks. ZP2KX is a fantastic and frantic 2D multiplayer deathmatch game…with jetpacks, zombies, pirates, ninjas…and you guessed it, Pterodactyls.

As a miner you search for resources to sell at the surface shop, but there’s some great items to buy that help you more easily navigate your mine. Miner is a simple but wonderfully relaxing exploration game. This game is your typical dungeon crawler –but with 50 floors to explore, endless enemies to slaughter and great retro graphics, you’ll definitely be playing Epic Dungeon longer than your typical $1 iPhone game. If you’re not killing, looting or selling then you’re not playing Epic Dungeon. This quality top-down zombie shooter is almost overshadowed by its catchy theme song. The bestselling XBLIG of all time is worth every penny here.
