I can’t say that I find this odd trend of people trying to market semi-nostalgic indie games by using cheesecake promo pics that have nothing to do with the gameplay surprising – but I do wish that Steam would quit recommending them to me just because I like RPGs and Indie games.
Both of these titles are kind of amazing in their own way, Verlies II is the sequel to a game that was Greenlit on Steam but is no longer available (that bodes well) and Heroes of Steel has a screenshot with what may be the worst bow and most phallic bow I have ever seen.
Seriously, it kind of looks like something… but not a bow.

in the industry
(including most games on the list) tells us a lot about the expectations among the gamers who voted on this.
