Most of the biggest games at Taipei Game Show 2018 came from Japan, China, Hong Kong or the West, but a selection of homegrown indie titles and arcade games showed that innovation is strong among smaller developers in Taiwan. Here's a roundup of some of the great local games I played during my visit.
Already available on Steam Early Access, Fight of Gods is a 2D fighting game where all of the cast are real-world deities or mythological figures. While the idea of a violent face-off between Jesus and Buddha is obviously grossly inappropriate, the game is not being sold on shock value alone. For one thing, as a fighting game it is pretty robust, and each character comes with a rich variety of animations. I played as Santa (not strictly a god, but certainly worshipped by many), who attacks by throwing gifts from his sack or piling into his opponent with a reindeer-driven sleigh as a special move. Also, the developers insist that they hope the game's roster will inspire players to learn about deities from other cultures. A sick cash-grab or something deeper? Check it out on Steam and decide for yourself.
