Devolver

Devolver stands out in games through a publishing catalogue associated with distinctive, often unconventional independent titles, rather than a single long-running franchise or a hardware platform. Its role is to bring games from outside developers to a wider audience, giving players a recognizable source for unusual action, comedy, and experimental ideas. By our assessment, that focus makes the company more interesting than a general entertainment label, though a publisher’s catalogue naturally varies in style and polish from game to game. The practical way to judge any Devolver release is by its own genre and design, not by assuming every title offers the same kind of play. Its identity is the range of individual games it chooses to publish.
