Let’s talk about Noitu Love 2.

Noitu Love 2: Devolution was created by Swede Joakim Sandberg, alias Konjak. You might have played his free Legend of Zelda tribute, the aptly-titled Legend of Princess. Noitu Love 2 was developed over the course of 8 months and released in 2008 on his site. Noitu Love 2 is a vast improvement over the original Noitu Love, going from a fairly unremarkable (and sometimes extremely frustrating) sidescroller to a mouse-based sidescrolling beat-em-up with a great deal of variety, featuring extremely memorable bosses and two secret characters that offer completely unique styles of play.

My roommate says he’s friends with Sandberg. He says he’s a nice guy. He sounds nice.

Sadly, the game failed to garner much attention, even after having its priced halved. Perhaps it’s because it never showed up on the XBOX Arcade Marketplace or some other game distributor. Perhaps it’s because people expect indie games to be free or have a budget of several thousand dollars. In any event, I’m bring this forward because, as Sandberg himself announced a few minutes ago,Noitu Love 2 is coming to Steam.

Let’s be blunt here: Noitu Love 2 has irrevocably placed itself on my personal throne of favorite indie game, outdoing entries such as LaMULANA and the ever-beloved Cave Story. It’s a game that I find myself picking up again and again despite having beaten it more thoroughly than just about any other game I’ve ever picked up.

In summary, get your money ready and buy it right now, and if you’re still not sure, you can play a fairly extensive demo right here. Or wait a few days to buy it on Steam. That’s what this post was about, right? I think it was.
