Dinos With Swords, Making Music With Gnomes, and Other New Indie Games Worth Checking Out

Three unusual indie games stand out this week: Dinoblade, Offbeat, and Fading Echo.

Dinoblade is a meme-born action RPG about a sword-wielding Spinosaurus, while Offbeat lets players make music for clients in early access.

Fading Echo offers an elemental adventure on a desert planet, where a hero fights corruption.

Together, the three games highlight inventive mechanics and fresh hooks for players seeking something beyond mainstream releases.
