This year’s presentation at Summer Game Fest 2024 was no exception, showcasing a handful of intriguing indie games that caught the attention of the audience. Like previous years, Devolver’s focus on showcasing unique and innovative games set them apart from other publishers in the industry.
One of the standout games featured during Devolver Digital’s presentation was Possessor, a visually stunning side-scrolling action game developed by the creators of Solar Ash and the Hyper Light games. The game follows Luca and Rehm as they navigate a quarantined city devastated by an interdimensional catastrophe. The dynamic between the two characters adds an interesting layer to the gameplay, promising a challenging and engaging experience for players.
Another noteworthy game showcased at the event was Tenjutsu, the debut release from Deepnight Games.

With Sébastien Benard, known for his work on Dead Cells, at the helm, Tenjutsu promises to deliver a unique and thrilling gaming experience reminiscent of classic retro games.
Kickmen, a first-person shooter developed by Free Lives, offers a quirky twist on the traditional shooter genre by incorporating elements of kicking and sneaker collection. Known for their humor and unique game mechanics, Free Lives, the studio behind Broforce and Cricket Through the Ages, brings their signature style to Kickmen. Players can expect a blend of silliness and violence when the game launches this summer.
The Crush House: A Strategy Game with a Dark Twist
