Brutal Indies Unleashed is a LIVE showcase happening on September 12th on the ZlimBratSki YouTube channel, alongside a Steam event running from September 12th – September 28th. This event is all about showcasing brutal indie games—whether they’re first-person, third-person, or top-down, as long as they feature combat or video game violence.
