Badland Games was a Spanish publisher that specialized in bringing independent video games to physical and digital markets. During 2016 and 2017, the company published and distributed titles such as Dex, Heart & Slash, Zenith, and Ginger: Beyond the Crystal. They were also responsible for physical releases of acclaimed indie games, including OlliOlli: Epic Combo Edition, Velocity 2X: Critical Mass Edition, and special editions of Anima: Gate of Memories and The Sexy Brutale.
Operating primarily as a bridge between digital-first developers and retail shelves, the company focused heavily on producing tangible collector's items for console players. For the release of
Velocity 2X Critical Mass Edition (2017) on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita, the package was expanded to include a physical soundtrack CD, a studio documentary, and an exclusive booklet detailing the game's development. Similarly, the retail launch of
OlliOlli: Epic Combo Edition (2016) bundled both acclaimed skateboarding titles onto a single disc alongside deluxe printed materials.
The publisher frequently collaborated with Spanish development talent to elevate local projects to the global stage. This domestic focus facilitated the physical launch of
Ginger Beyond the Crystal (2016) and the fantasy action-RPG
Zenith (2016). For
Anima: Gate of Memories Beyond Fantasy Edition (2017), the release was elevated with a collector's art book and a deck of tarot cards. Partnerships with international studios also brought the cyberpunk RPG
Dex (2016) and the roguelike
Heart & Slash (2016) to physical retail, while cooperation with Tequila Works secured a physical footprint for the puzzle-adventure
Sexy Brutale (2017).
