Might and Magic |
Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes (I think that's the one you mean) is a game developed by Capybara for Ubisoft and a spinoff of a classic PC RPG franchise which had its first entry in 1986. The franchise gained more popularity in the 90s with its TBS spinoff series Heroes of Might & Magic.
Clash of Heroes is a great game but the opposite of an indie game imo. It was clearly developed to work/be published on as many platforms as possible and without a doubt completely funded by Ubisoft.

And Rain and Journey are Sony games, and games like Broforce, Hotline Miami, Luftrausers, OlliOlli, Heavy Bullets etc were all published as well...Indie doesn't really mean "independent" any more, its typically used to describe a subset of smaller scale games, typically sold through digital distribution platforms.
I know, semantics suck, but the literal definition of indie is no use whatsoever, as it says nothing about a game. Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes is an indie game, by colloquial definitions

Indie is a contraction of the word independent. We cannot connotate any small game with that word.
That's why Xbox Live has a marketplace for "Arcade Games", which labels small digital titles backed by bigger publishers. Games like: Shadow Complex from Epic Games or Splosion Man from Twisted Pixel.
And then in the same marketplace there are Indies. Games which are published independently by the developers.
