With publishing by Ubisoft, become an agent of destruction while shifting between characters mid-combat, combining attacks and abilities to overcome sectors of machine foes. You can currently check it out only on Steam. Metal Meets Metal in this Hack 'n Slash Roguelite This game originally caught my eye a few years ago. I added it to my wishlist after finding it, but believe I must have removed it after not seeing much news on development so I didn't notice the news ramp back up over the last year. I think StarRupture was the last game I had a similar wishlist experience with. Was I just as impressed with the re-emergence of Morbid Metal? Find out below! Gameplay Morbid Metal is a third-...

Don’t Lose Aggro – PC Early Access Preview

Don't Lose Aggro is an action roguelite where you are the tank. Oren Koren, the developer, has taken the role and created a roguelite game loop around doing just that. It will be available in Early Access only on Steam. Tanking Can Be Slow... I bet you didn't expect me to be writing about another roguelike game, did you? Oh wait... yeah you probably aren't surprised. I'm not either at this point and I enjoy seeing the different flavors that are out there. Check out my thoughts on the early access build of Don't Lose Aggro below. Gameplay The "holy trinity" of player roles, damage-per-second (DPS), healer and tank, are commonly found in multiplayer games. Don't Lose Aggro extracts the tank role and puts it into a solo player experience where your task remains the same - get your par...

NUTMEG! – PC Review

NUTMEG! A Nostalgic Deckbuilding Football Manager kicked off on 26th March 2026 for PC via Steam. Sumo Digital and its development pathway Sumo Digital Academy created it, while Secret Mode published it, the same team behind Still Wakes The Deep. At a fair £12.99 for launch week, which just about covers a pint and a packet of crisps at most football grounds these days. It then shifts to £19.99. What makes it stand out? Imagine 80s and 90s football, deckbuilding, and roguelite chaos all mashed together like a last-minute scramble for a relegation-saving equaliser. So is this a match-winner, or warming the bench all season? Bovril, Boots, and Bad Tackles NUTMEG! A Nostalgic Deckbuilding Football Manager doesn’t bother with a proper story. You don’t need one. You pick ...

Crimson Capes – PC Review

Crimson Capes is a pixel-art 2.5 D roguelike / roguelite developed and published by Poor Locke. The game is set in a dark-fantasy medieval Europe, where you can switch between four characters of the witch-hunting Crimson Capes guild. Retro Bloody Retro In recent years, the indie game industry has been flooded with roguelites, roguelikes, and metroidvania style games. Crimson Capes enters this crowded landscape with a realistic swordcombat "flow" that may be challenging at first but is highly satisfactory once mastered. This combat system relies strongly on the well-known formula of souls and soulslike games, patience, dodging, and precise timing. The story is centered around the adventures of Milon, also known as the Tempest, who has been ordered by the king to take down a conspir...

Master of Piece – PC Early Access Preview

There is a thrill in Master of Piece when pieces slide neatly across the board, and a fight that looked unwinnable quietly collapses in your favour. Master of Piece, developed and published by I M GAME and I M fine, clearly understands their blend of deck-builder, rogulite and pieces. On Steam via Early Access, it presents itself as a deceptively approachable roguelite, swapping decks of cards for mercenary pieces. On the surface, its rules are straightforward enough to feel welcoming. Underneath, however, it hides a surprising amount of rigidity. Where small decisions are permanent, and misjudgements linger far longer than you might expect. Currently, Master of Piece wants to be fast, readable, and endlessly replayable. Still, it expects you to accept friction as part of the deal; whether...

Expect various items, monsters, and jokes when it releases on Steam for £24.99 Make them babies!
