Love thoughtful strategy in deep settings? Get four of our best games (or whichever ones you don't already have) at once, all at a discount through this bundle.

We're two brothers, Cory and Andrew, that have spent the past 10+ years growing a studio around RPGs & strategy games with depth, tactical complexity and insane replay value. Our games' highly customizable difficulty settings let you get the challenge (or stress-free way to learn the ropes) you want, and we continue to add new (free) content to our games long after their launch.

 

Our newly-released stealth & squad tactics heist RPG. If you like games like Invisible Inc, XCOM 2, Shadowrun or other tactical RPGs, I think you'll find this worth a look. We just started Early Access last month, but the game is very playable and we've already made over 20 updates adding new content and improvements.

 

Star Wars: Dark Forces is LucasArts’ much-loved first-person shooter originally released in 1995. This remaster, which arrives just shy of 30 years later, is in the works at Nightdive Studios, the video game restoration specialist behind the well-received System Shock remake and Turok and Quake remasters.

 

Doug Cockle, voice of Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher video games, is headlining a new Dungeons & Dragons actual play series called Natural Six. Announced on Monday, the 10-episode run will feature several other well known voice video game voice actors.

 

The discovery mechanisms at work behind the scenes on Steam, which inputs matter, and how Valve approaches the operation of a PC platform where any kind of game can find its audience.

Larian Studios' creative director talks the launch of Baldur's Gate 3, and why the hit game isn't about setting a new standard for the genre.

XCOM series is great. Unfortunate so many of the lead creators have left Firaxis lately.

 

It's a huge open world experience, available in VR (but not required), in a retro-futuristic cyberpunk slum. Hundreds of crimes and stories to solve, lots of places to explore, AI companions to get, the flying car, tons more.

I've met the developer of this; cool guy, a former Technical Director at Rockstar Games. Blade Runner's a clear inspiration of his, so if the Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth news felt like all sizzle and no steak to you 😅, here's a meal you can see, coming much sooner.

It's definitely worth it, but if this is your first cRPG and you're on a budget I'd at least start the game first and see if you're liking it through the first act. You can add in the DLC at any time; it will work with an existing save game.

Oh nice, thank you!

Any chance you could edit your top-comment to include a link to Steam Next Fest itself? https://store.steampowered.com/sale/nextfest

The submission URL itself has a typo in it unfortunately, and I'd really encourage folks to browse through Next Fest and see what they can find beyond the 10 most popular ones. 🙂 Next Fest is a great event for indies, but it does suffer from Steam always seeming to set up these "rich get richer" loops where the games that came into Next Fest with the most wishlists (often from having the biggest marketing budgets), are the ones they make most visible, without providing any curation of or means for user-surfacing of lesser-known but promising titles.

If things go well. 👍 It will be Steam Deck ready at release.

Much appreciated! The visuals on this game are really a huge step up for us. It's also our first 3D game, so a whole new pipeline for all of that.

Indie dev here. Went full-time on it with my brother several years back. Currently working on our 9th game -- Cyber Knights: Flashpoint.

It's a squad tactics heist RPG. XCOM-like combat, extensive stealth options, and a cyberpunk setting & stories inspired by over a decade of tabletop RPG campaigns we've played.

This is our first game made with Unity; it's been a learning experience but feels very worth it.

 

Cyberpunk squad tactics RPG with stealth, gridless movement & cover, faction & reputation mechanics. http://s.team/a/1021210/ - Going to have a demo in Steam Next Fest starting on Monday.

 

After entirely skipping the 3.0 update, Feral Interactive has now upgraded their Linux port of Total War: WARHAMMER III to version 3.1.
