The Gate Must Stand

The Gate Must Stand is a medieval fantasy roguelike tower defense that combines hack-and-slash action with base-building and follower synergies. Players run short, tense survival runs against waves and bosses, unlocking meta progression between attempts. Reviews are generally positive: combat and the roguelike+tower-defense fusion are praised, while some UI clutter, visual roughness, and occasional bugs are noted. The launch included a release and demo updates from the developer.

Tales Of Wakana

Tales Of Wakana is a whimsical 2D action-adventure with metroidvania-style exploration, varied mini-game segments, and playful writing. The store page highlights platforming, puzzles, boss battles, elemental magic, and dozens of levels and side quests. Player reviews are mixed: many praise the humor, art and content variety, while others report stiff attack feel, inconsistent controls, and multiple bugs. The developer released June patches that addressed several key issues (keybinding reset, pet experience, gate and barrel stealth fixes). If you value lighthearted writing, diverse level types, and exploration, Tales Of Wakana may suit you; expect some rough edges in controls and polish that the recent updates are actively addressing.

Beatdown City Survivors

Beatdown City Survivors is a survivors-style roguelite that blends beat 'em up melee, weapon fusion, and heavy environmental interaction in a gritty, hip-hop-flavored city. Runs emphasize positioning, elemental hazards (fire, electrified water, gas), and creative weapon combos while unlocking dozens of characters, weapons, and passives. Player feedback praises the soundtrack, visual style, and depth, but notes a steep, skill-focused challenge and some complaints about meta-progression pace.

Player reviews are generally positive about the chaotic, laugh-heavy co-op, though several mention bugs, framerate issues, awkward controls, and possible limitations for solo or local play. The developer has posted launch and pre-launch updates, including adding the Queen earlier in development.

Super Dark Deception - Chapter 2

Super Dark Deception - Chapter 2 expands the game with four new levels (Crazy Carnevil, Torment Therapy, Mascot Mayhem, Bearly Buried), extra minigames and archive content, and a retro-tinged soundtrack. Early player reports praise the new content, music, and extra features, but many reviewers report numerous bugs, softlocks, achievement/save issues, and moments of unfair difficulty. If you enjoyed the original Dark Deception and can tolerate a rough launch with ongoing fixes, Super Dark Deception - Chapter 2 may be worth playing; players who need a polished, bug-free release should wait for additional patches.

Artificial Extinction 2

Artificial Extinction 2 is a hybrid tower defense that combines top-down RTS base management with on-foot FPS combat. The game suits players who like frantic multitasking, resource juggling, and large explosive battles; reviewers praise the concept, visual spectacle, and active post‑launch fixes but repeatedly report balance, turret fragility, builder limits, UI clarity, and enemy/A.I. problems that make some runs feel unfair.

Difficulty70/100

Goblin Company

Goblin Company is a cooperative mining-adventure where up to four players dig, build rails, and manage light to survive and reach a legendary Giant Crystal. The game emphasizes rail-network building, resource loop progression and a dark, humorous atmosphere that many players find enjoyable in co-op. Reviews show the core loop and rail mechanics are satisfying for groups, but the launch has notable stability and cart/pathing bugs that cause lost progress and frustrating deaths. The developer has issued multiple hotfixes in the first days to address autosave freezes, softlocks, and derailed carts.

PaceDeliberate, exploration-driven

ZOMBUTCHER: Monster Business Simulator

ZOMBUTCHER: Monster Business Simulator puts you in the role of a zombie butcher who runs a storefront by day and conducts stealthy nighttime hunts and crafting by night. Reviewers praise the quirky premise, management loop, and developer responsiveness, but many players report widespread bugs, poor onboarding, and short runtime. Developers issued multiple patches and a new save/load system in the days after release, which addresses several progression and quest issues. If you enjoy darkly humorous shop sims and can tolerate early-launch instability, ZOMBUTCHER currently offers a distinctive but rough experience.

WHERE the F$CK is my BITCOIN ⁉️

WHERE the F$CK is my BITCOIN ⁉️ is a co-op incremental dump-digging sim about sorting trash, selling finds, and upgrading gear to hunt a lost Bitcoin. The store page highlights solo or multiplayer chaos; player reviews praise the co-op vibe, humor, and relaxing click-and-upgrade loop but repeatedly call out short progression, repetitive clicking, and limited content. Best enjoyed as a short, social session rather than a long-term progression game.

PaceCasual, repetitive grind
