RuneScape Dragonwilds is an action-adventure RPG from Jagex that takes players to the mysterious continent of Ashenfall. In this Early Access game (launching Spring 2025), explore a vibrant, hand-crafted landscape ravaged by a wild, transformative magic called Anima. Gameplay centers on battling dragons, including the fearsome Dragon Queen, as well as developing skills, crafting gear, and wielding powerful rune magic to instantly chop down trees or blast open ore veins. As you journey through the ruins of forgotten civilizations, you’ll encounter classic RuneScape creatures, new enemies like the Garou, and uncover ancient secrets. Community feedback is shaping the game’s development, with alpha testing set to begin in late 2024. The continent remains largely unexplored, with many secrets waiting to be uncovered as players help guide the current development roadmap.

ShapeHero Factory combines elements of a factory simulator, a roguelite, and a tower defense game. Players build barracks to mass-produce heroes, who automatically fight waves of enemies. The goal is to defeat the Great Calamity sealed in the Book of Magic. Using minions, assemble a variety of characters from basic shapes found on a magic scroll. Circles and triangles form soldiers, while circles and squares form sprites. Adding squares to soldiers gives them shields, and combining them unlocks even more powerful abilities. Hero production involves transporting the shapes and assembling combinations. Meanwhile, enemy troops attempt to break through to the gates. To defend, players must select a character suited to each enemy attack.

He is Coming is a dark fantasy where night brings fear and dawn brings new challenges. Every dawn is a countdown to the next encounter with the monster. Will the heroes be able to contain the power of the Demon King while there is still time? Every three days, new hunters come. Your goal is to have time to prepare: find a weapon, strengthen your armor, and, if possible, reveal the weakness of the coming enemy. But it is impossible to do everything at once - choose what you will sacrifice. Every victory leaves you weaker before the next battle. Resources are limited, there are no allies. Traps can save you from one monster, but destroy you when meeting another. In a world where everything is on the edge, a decision about one artifact can be fatal.

Monsters are Coming Rock and Road casts players as a brave peon defending a moving city from relentless monster hordes. This action packed indie game blends strategy with tower defense, where choices in building archery outposts or gathering resources shape survival. Decisions to fortify districts or fight off bosses impact the city’s fate, with each move balancing risk and reward. Every battle, from wielding necromancer towers to slaying giants, delivers intense thrills.

Katanaut places the player aboard a gigantic space station whose inhabitants have been transformed into monsters. The character Naut must navigate the dangerous halls of the structure in search of the source of the cosmic chaos that has engulfed the entire complex. Moving deeper into the facility reveals ever-changing and increasingly distorted locations. Fights with former humans are based on a system of melee blade attacks and defensive dodges, helping to survive encounters with hordes of enemies.

The isekai fantasy usually hands its hero a sword, a destiny and a clean moral compass. Loser Got Isekaid, the adult role playing game from Morexingame, hands its hero a different kind of mission, and it says so right in the subtitle: conquer the girls before conquering the world.

Sephiria is a top-down roguelike action game with pixel art visuals from developer TEAM HORAY. Players control a rabbit tasked with saving a tower from destruction by descending through its levels. The gameplay offers fast, intuitive controls for attacking enemies and fending off attacks. As you explore, you’ll meet various animal characters who can become allies or enemies through conversations, trades, and favors.

Master of Command is a compelling new Strategy game from Armchair History Interactive, challenging players to lead an 18th century army through the unforgiving conflicts of the Seven Years’ War. This title transcends typical grand strategy by focusing entirely on the difficult, granular reality of managing a single, persistent army across a vast theater of war. The core gameplay loop blends an unforgiving, real time campaign map with brutal real time tactical battles. Success is not about conquering empires, but about the survival of your regiments. You must manage scarce supplies, including reserves and ammunition, as marching too far will lead to starvation while resting too long allows the enemy to reinforce.

Monster Hunter Wilds takes players to the Forbidden Lands, a place teeming with monstrous prey. Hunters aren’t just conquerors here, they’re dancers in a deadly ballet where strategy and survival intertwine. Mastering this dance requires focus. Studying your prey, carefully preparing your gear, and executing with precision are the keys to success. The Forbidden Lands aren’t some frozen arena. They’re a living, breathing entity a character in their own right. Hunters must navigate this dynamic environment, turning it into an ally. Using the terrain for clever positioning or setting ecological traps are the secrets the Lands hold for those with the respect and thirst for knowledge.

Journey of Realm Dawn Dew puts you in control of a character named Dew on a journey of redemption. The adventure takes place in a kingdom consumed by a wave of black beasts and monstrous malice. As you progress, Dew uncovers the history of the region, uncovering the origins of the brutal threat. The story explores a world where greed has destroyed innocence, prompting the heroine to arrive as a force to confront the ongoing destruction.
