Blades of Fire is the kind of game that earns genuine admiration even when it frustrates you. Developed by MercurySteam — the studio behind Metroid Dread and the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow series — and published by 505 Games, this dark fantasy action-adventure is now available on Steam with a substantial Version 2.0 overhaul that adds New Game Plus, a new Titanium difficulty tier, Boss Revival Mode, and significantly more. The result is the most complete version of an already ambitious game, arriving at a moment when the studio needs a win more than ever. At its best, Blades of…

Dark Pals: The 1st Floor is the mascot horror game that makes you stop and ask: wait, why is this actually good? In a genre flooded with Poppy Playtime clones scrambling for YouTube engagement, Skunx Games has done something genuinely unexpected — they’ve built a mascot horror experience with a distinct visual identity, a genuinely great original soundtrack, clever puzzle design, and enough charm to make you feel weirdly attached to creatures that are actively trying to kill you. At $6.70 — a price that is almost certainly intentional — Dark Pals: The 1st Floor is also one of the…

Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes is the BSG game that fans have quietly been waiting for since FTL proved the licence was always destined to live in a roguelite. Developer Alt Shift — the team behind Crying Suns — and publisher Dotemu have delivered a survival fleet-management roguelite that doesn’t just wear the Battlestar Galactica name as a coat of paint.

For BSG fans and strategy roguelite veterans alike, Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes is one of…

Every so often a game launches in Early Access and immediately eclipses the expectations the genre has trained us to have. Far Far West, from eight-person studio Evil Raptor and published by Fireshine Games, is one of those games. In a crowded PvE co-op shooter landscape dominated by Deep Rock Galactic and Helldivers 2, Far Far West doesn’t just hold its own — it earns its place at the table within the first hour of play, and then keeps getting better. The elevator pitch writes itself: wizard robot cowboys on horseback, blasting skeleton outlaws and ghost trains through a supernatural…

There is a very specific kind of small game that comes along every now and then — cheap, weird, made by one person, inexplicably compelling — and STICKER/BALL from solo developer Bilge and publisher Future Friends Games is exactly that. It’s a pool game. It’s a roguelike. It has spiders, poop, clowns, and frogs that hijack spaceships. It makes complete sense once you’re inside it and essentially no sense from the outside. Kotaku said they had no idea what was happening and loved it for that. They’re right on both counts. At $5.59 during its introductory period, asking whether STICKER/BALL…
