Long thread that I'll update daily for all the games I've played for April. The plan was a game a day. The reality is a bit more, as I've received over 100 requests of games to cover. #indiedevs are some incredibly talented people. There will be some gems for sure.
Escaping Atlantis by @roofkatgames store.steampowered.com/app/1260450/Es… youtu.be/WUCglzZ2EYI Great graphics, and a cool combat system that is pretty satisfying. Planning is pretty important here, and it is surprisingly tactical.
Terralysia by @tinygdev is a fast paced roguelike that takes the Survivors-like genre and puts it into a vibrant 3D world. I quite liked this, and will be spending more time in this in the future! store.steampowered.com/app/2540670/Te… youtu.be/A1KOxreXSW0
Reboot Heroes by @ChopChopGames: store.steampowered.com/app/1880150/Re… youtu.be/HN2l258ZOeU I may have walked away a bit torn on the combat, but it was a positive experience overall. Great enemy design, deckbuilding, and definitely worth playing.
Chasmal Fear by @MystiveDev: store.steampowered.com/app/2597570/Ch… youtu.be/UBw93riPT_U The first time I played the demo I wasn't a huge fan. This time around I definitely had a blast. Impressive level design, great atmosphere, definitely one to have on your radar.
The Book: Gunsmith's Battle Echoes by @stephindiegames is FPS that pulled me in to explore the world with very enjoyable combat. store.steampowered.com/app/2269000/Th… youtu.be/5rGZCD2QjdA
Into the Grid by @Flatline_Studio: store.steampowered.com/app/2576200/In… youtu.be/zjlQ64vE6qM The public Playtest focuses on combat, and while I found it pretty enjoyable - I also found it surprisingly easy. Certainly promising!
I tried the Underboard playtest, @Headless_Games: It's a pretty enjoyable auto battler/roguelike, but could use some QoL features for when your runs are going terribly. Worth a look for sure. store.steampowered.com/app/2376610/Un… youtu.be/Nz3FUN_UiBU
Captain Contraption's Chocolate Factory by @PillBugInt: If you liked The Incredible Machine you should try this out. store.steampowered.com/app/2166920/Ca… youtu.be/jKDPGKOYocQ
The demo for Mystical Tactics by @Morm91 has excellent pacing, and a great taste to give you an idea of what an absolute gem this game is going to be. store.steampowered.com/app/2850600/My… youtu.be/y63ulrZQaVs
Jump Malcolm Jump by @CrazyRetroGame1 escalates in the difficulty a bit much, but overall is a pretty charming platformer that fits the late 90s retro platformer vibe. store.steampowered.com/app/2461570/Ju… youtu.be/bOeaJNio-_g
