Four more indie games coming to PS4 in early 2015

November may be the month for blockbuster releases, but it's never too early to look ahead to what indie games we have coming. For Sony fans, four indie games have already been announced as coming to the PS4 in early 2015.

The lineup includes: Armikrog, The Banner Saga, Kyn, and Toren. Aside from The Banner Saga (which I reviewed earlier this year), I'm not too familiar with the remaining three titles, but thankfully indie publisher Versus Evil has provided us with a brief rundown on each.

Armikrog

This is just a really weird way to make a game, but it works! From the original game creators of Earthworm Jim and the Neverhood, comes a point and click adventure…wait for it… stop motion clay animation video game (Try and say that 10 times quickly!).

Supported by a quirky but quite mesmerizing original soundtrack from Terry Taylor, Armikrog will throw you into a rich, colorful world packed with lovable oddball characters and a lot of toilet humor.

The Banner Saga

The quality bar has been set! With several awards already under its belt and a second chapter already in the works, this indie hit is making its way to PS4. If you like turn based strategy games or Vikings (or both) and appreciate stunning, old-school style 2D animation, this is definitely worth checking out. It’s a classic and one that has made a mark in video game history already.

Kyn

(Pronounced “Kin”) It’s hard to imagine that two guys from Holland put this tactical RPG together in just two years, by themselves! But they did, and it’s a big world of magic, colliding with Viking themes and hours upon hours of adventuring.

All I can say is: just be nice to the sheep.

Toren

From fledgling Brazilian indie studio Swordtales comes a dark fantasy adventure in which you have to guide a lonely child as she climbs the tower known as Toren. It’s a beautiful game with puzzles and treacherous enemies to defeat. Your inner “protective instincts” will certainly be played on as you help Moonchild survive the journey from baby to adolescent.

Though no official dates have been announced, you'll be able to sink your teeth into them in "early 2015," barring any delays. Each of them will also be playable on PS4 for the first time ever at PlayStation Experience in Las Vegas on December 6th and 7th.
