City builder/empire builder, nation state creator, on micro and macro scale. Lowfi graphics but tons and tons of depth.
- its still in early access, v68 , but works fully, dev is highly active, here is what a working city may look like (you control a much bigger area than what is displayed here:
Starcom - unknown space
Fun, top down Space RPG game. Combat is real time arcade combat. The rpg part is leveling up your crews abilities, which dice roles determine actions on away missions.
Yeah you scan planets, anomalies, and do away missions to said planets. The planets are a beautiful graphic of the location and a scenario you make a decision about. Also tech trees, dialog screens with choices,
You research tech to build your starship, which gets bigger, each part is put together by material you scrounge on planets or from space, derelict ships, and enemies, or trade.
Game had me hooked from day 1. If only starfield was so much fun.
If you like Star Trek pre discovery era (when it was good) , and aren't a 3d whore, you will like this game.
Tiny Rogues:
Tons of classes, great pixel art, weapons and modifiers, plus its fast action combat. Dude puts out impressive updates every week.
Its my go to game for the steam deck. If you like twin stick action mixed with roguleliek and rpg leving and equipment, you will love this! I guarantee that. It's so much fun!
The pc indy scene is fire. Tons and tons of Early access gems. Yet people will ignore such awesome games as they are not promoted by console makers or have wiz bang graphics.
most people on this site will only know "stuff on gamepass" half of which aren't indy or are published by ubisoft or ea.
