Strikers Club

Strikers Club is a free-to-play online football game built around one-player control, team play, and skill-first matches. It aims for a more rules-faithful football feel with dribbling, passing, shooting, fouls, corners, penalties, and position choice, while player reviews describe it as fun, competitive, and still rough around the edges in early access.

Hell Maiden

Hell Maiden is an action horde-survival, deck-building roguelike that reimagines Dante’s Divine Comedy with strong 90s shoujo–style art, full voice work, and a soundtrack that many players praise. The core loop mixes Vampire Survivors–style endless waves and bullet-hell boss encounters with a lightweight deck/mod card system that lets you rearrange and customize weapons mid-run. Early Access launched with two of the planned nine Circles of Hell, and reviews note excellent polish in art, music, and voice acting but also report crashes, visual clutter, balance issues, and limited content. If you buy now, expect a visually and audibly striking but still-EA experience that rewards experimentation and tolerance for bugs and missing features.

Funnel Runners

Funnel Runners is a first-person, co-op survival game about scavenging parts to repair a van while escalating storms and tornadoes rip the city apart. Each run randomizes weather, item locations, and repair problems, creating tense, short sessions that shine with friends and feel punishing solo. Player reviews praise the realistic destruction and audio-visual immersion, while frequently noting limited launch content (often cited as a single map), abrupt session endings after the repair, and some technical or moderation issues. Early patches arrived quickly after release, suggesting active support, but long-term content plans are not yet clear.

Factory Town 2: Paradise

Factory Town 2: Paradise is a single-player town-builder + factory sim that blends supply-chain automation with light colony management. You build houses, markets and factories across tropical islands, route goods using conveyors, trains, boats, catapults, ziplines and pipes, and feed a volcano to unlock tech and new islands. The game is relaxed in tone with a gradual unlock pace and meaningful optimization depth; many reviewers call Early Access playable and enjoyable, though some longtime fans note design changes (playable avatar, revised worker behaviors) that take getting used to. The game is in Early Access with active post-launch patches.

Goal Idle

Goal Idle is a casual incremental clicker where you shoot balls into goals, buy upgrades, hire automated Helpers, and prestige for permanent bonuses. The store page describes a simple, satisfying progression loop built around clicking, automation, a 14-node skill tree, and rebirth. Player reviews are Mostly Positive and praise the relaxing, addictive feel and developer responsiveness, but many note the current Early Access build is short on content and can suffer performance and memory issues once many balls are active. The developer has pushed hotfixes and a performance update that specifically targets FPS drops and optimization.

Three Kingdoms : Alias

Three Kingdoms : Alias is an Early Access turn-based strategy that hides officer identities behind aliases. Its core novelty—deducing who each officer really is—refreshes classic Three Kingdoms strategy, rewarding players who enjoy deduction, personnel placement, and slow-paced empire management. The game already shows a solid foundation and positive early player reception, but expect Early Access roughness: UI friction, combat/loyalty quirks, and bugs that the developer is actively patching.

Three Kingdoms:BOND

Three Kingdoms:BOND is an Early Access deck-building roguelite auto‑battler that emphasizes strategic drafting, grid placement, and unit synergies. Matches are short and skill tests focus on picks and formation rather than reflexes; the store and player reviews highlight fair monetization (no pay‑to‑win), a helpful tutorial, attractive illustrations and addictive tactical depth, while noting a currently shallow card pool, some UI/tempo roughness, and missing multiplayer matchmaking features that are expected to be improved in updates.

GERONIMO

GERONIMO is a VR-first tactical CQB shooter that emphasizes physical, high-fidelity weapon handling and deep kit customization. It supports solo play and up to 6-player cooperative squads, plus dedicated practice ranges and timed drills for skill development. Player feedback praises weapon feel, customization depth, and tactical focus, but many reviews note early-access bugs, optimization and stability problems, and AI/level-polish needs. If you enjoy deliberate, teamwork-focused VR shooters and can tolerate early-access rough edges, GERONIMO offers a promising experience now and active fixes appear to be ongoing.

Forest Escape: Last Train

Forest Escape: Last Train is a 1–4 player co-op surreal horror built around repairing and defending a locomotive while exploring bizarre, puzzle-filled regions. Player reviews call it fun, atmospheric, and highly social—especially with friends—while repeatedly noting early-access bugs and occasional connectivity or crash issues. The game is accessible to new players but has meaningful challenge on higher difficulties; development is active with an Early Access launch and demo rewards.

Desolation Seed

Desolation Seed is an atmospheric survival shooter that places you in a ruined urban maze piloting an EEG-controlled surrogate. The game offers two modes (a retry-focused Linear mode and a permadeath Reality mode), scavenging and resource management, performance stimulants, and a grim cultural narrative. Player reviews praise the soundtrack and atmosphere and note a promising core loop, but many report significant bugs, unclear controls, obtuse interactables, occasional softlocks, and janky enemy spawning. Recent patch notes show active fixes to clipping, out-of-bounds, and pause/respawn issues, making it a title for players who value mood and experimental art design and who accept early-access instability.

War Room: Tactical Sandbox

War Room: Tactical Sandbox is an early-access tactical sandbox aimed at creators, educators, and Kriegsspiel enthusiasts who want to design, visualize, and record historical engagements. The store page highlights a terrain generator, importable assets, a Cinema Mode, and two primary modes (Simulation and Battle) built for scenario creation and presentation. Player reviews are mixed: many praise the concept and creator-focused features, while common criticisms cite a clunky UI, weak tutorials, simulation bugs, and optimization problems. Recent update notes show active development—adding spectator mode, adjustable damage multipliers, a Kriegsspiel line-of-sight system, and UI optimizations—so the tool is improving but remains a work-in-progress best suited to users willing to learn and tolerate early-access rough edges.

idle:Doodle Realm

Idle: Doodle Realm is an Early Access idle loot-based strategy game that focuses on auto-deployed multi-unit combat, randomized equipment affixes, relics, and commander-specific talent trees. Gameplay centers on building unit synergies, collecting and upgrading gear, and progressing from campaign levels into an Endless Mode for advanced bosses, relics, and crafting materials. Player reviews note a slow overall pace and that content becomes largely equipment-farming after the initial campaign; recent updates have fixed filter and stability issues reported at launch.
