The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

[Unkillable Cat]

So they remade 'Yes, Prime Minister' with updated graphics.

I wonder if they kept the humor.

 

[Sarathiour]

You can check the thread if you're wondering about it, seems mostly grounded, and was pretty well received on the dex.

I wonder if (hope) Amberland II will have more interesting dungeons. They felt too simplistic and uninteresting I lost interest in continuing to play it. I want BIG dungeons with varied enemies, puzzles and environments.

 

[Baron Dupek]

LoA was closer to dungs from M&M VII/VIII or Heroes of a Broken Land so mildly interested. Rather go back and play Wiz8 with 1GB+ Expanded mod than play something inferior in terms of underground level design

from all possible (Ho)M&M games they took... this? Who asked for that?

Tomb Raider games are on sale for about a dollar each.

vampire syndicate: It takes but a moment to lose em out of your sight, just a blink, for grillz to undress in front of you. Game doesnt appear to acknowledge you asking them to leave and rest undress instead.
space cats: cat puns taken too far match my boredom
shadow gambit: waaaait a minute, those are shadow tactics devs and it will be clear the moment you boot gameplay. If you wanted shadow tactics in pirate settings written larian-like, you are in luck!
amberland: bleh, 7 party members
islands of the caliph: attack/use key wasnt working for me so couldnt experience it properly. Music/art direction/general feel works for me but sadly couldnt collect anything or attack them spiders
fortune run: very promising. cp77 with lower budget. You appear to be getting as many phone calls and cutscenes though

Once again another Steam Next Fest is upon us and I figured it would be a good idea to put up a general impressions thread for codexers to pop in and highlight some undiscovered gems and good for what they ares.

I'll start with saying I just finished the demo of this RPGvania and found it to be pretty decent:

Is there any way to filter out tags for one search? See way too many low-effort roguelite deckbuilder sexual content games.

You could disable sexual content in your account settings > preferences and add exclude deckbuilding tags there as well I guess.

 

[Sukhāvatī]

 

[deuxhero]

Yeah, but that's for all searches.

[InspectorRumpole]

Is this worth playing without the expansions?

Revival Recolonization Demo, bruh this is not only stealing gameplay logic from Endless Legend, it literally steals UI elements.

 

[whydoibother]

US UNITED Demo, hmmmm.... something's familiar here.... can't quite put my finger on it....

 

[Modron]

If you're just going to post deckbuilding roguelites you might as well post something different like:

Which has good art and tried something new by making a dicebuilding game.

 

[whydoibother]

I played a few, and the only one that compelled me to do a second run was


Placing buildings on a map, with adjacency bonuses and limited space, is a good way to add complexity. But the cards themselves are too simple.

 

[Modron]

Deckbuilding has never really been my cup of tea but yeah combining it with 4x at least looks fairly interesting.

Found a little indie Advance Wars clone probably not as good as its inspiration but here it is:
