“Every year during the week of E3 there is an event held for Indie developers to get some extra exposure on their upcoming projects. The Media Indie Exchange showcases several Indie titles each year, and theres always a few games that really catch our eye. The title that completely blew our minds this year was The Messenger, from Sabotage Studios and Devolver Digital, a love letter to retro sidescrolling ninja games like Ninja Gaiden and Shinobi. We had a chance to play through the demo at The MIX 2018, and had major flashbacks to The Dark Sword of Chaos.”
