Novarama

Novarama at a Glance

Novarama is a Spanish video game developer and publisher based in Barcelona that started operations in 2003. The company released a total of ten games on PlayPile, with all ten titles credited as their own development work while only two carried the publishing label. Their output has been steady over nearly two decades, spanning from 2005 to 2023. You will find two games from the 2000s, six from the 2010s, and two from the 2020s in their catalog. This timeline shows a significant shift in volume, with the majority of their work appearing during the 2010s before slowing down again in recent years. The company focused heavily on handheld platforms early in their career. Their top platform is the PlayStation Vita with five titles, followed closely by the PlayStation Portable with four releases. They also made three games for PC and single entries for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Android, and iOS. Starting in June 2011, Novarama developed exclusive games for Sony consoles as a first party developer. Their genre list is diverse but leans toward action-heavy categories. Fighting games make up three of their releases, and they also created three Hack and slash or Beat em up titles. The rest of their portfolio includes Adventure, Strategy, Puzzle, Simulator, Role-playing, Arcade, Shooter, and Indie games. Quality ratings for Novarama show a consistent pattern of solid but not exceptional work. Out of six rated titles on PlayPile, the average score sits at 64.9 out of 100. There are no great scores above 80, yet they have avoided poor ratings below 40. All six rated games fall into the good range between 60 and 79. Their highest-rated title is Killsquad from 2021, which holds a score of 72.5. The Invizimals series also performs well with titles like the 2009 original at 65.3 and The Lost Tribes at 64.3. Reality Fighters (2012) and Invizimals: Shadow Zone (2010) sit near 63 or 64. Recent releases include United 1944 in December 2023 and Killsquad in October 2021. While the company aimed to create clever games with mass-market appeal, their results show a focus on reliable mid-tier experiences rather than industry-changing hits.
