far far west It’s off to a strong start after hitting Steam early access this week. The co-op shooter from Evil Raptor and publisher Fireshine Games sold more than 250,000 copies in its first 48 hours. It normally costs $20, but is 10 percent off at launch through May 5.
As a robot cowboy, you can play alone or form a team with up to three friends and hunt for bounty. You’ll seek out elusive, dangerous targets in order to take them out and reap rewards.
You’ll have to face undead enemies like skeletons and vultures, as well as haunted mines and ghost trains. There is an extraction element to it (you can try to complete additional objectives for better rewards), although it seems more along the lines of hell diver 2 as compared to a more survival-oriented experience ark raiders. You can use your loot to upgrade your loadout with new guns, abilities, and spells. You can also customize your cowboy and horse.
I really dig the pixel-art look of 2D hack-and-slash adventures soulquest. The animations in the trailer (which are said to be frame-perfect) are super slick, which makes sense considering the combat is built around a combination of light and heavy attacks. You will also have magical powers and powers.
You play the role of a recently widowed warrior named Alice, who refuses to accept her husband’s fate and sets out to reclaim his soul. A soul searching, if you will. It took the small team at Soulblade Studios seven years to make the game a success and it took me seven seconds to add it to my wishlist.
soulquest Available on Steam (normally $20, although there is a 20 percent discount until May 15). You can check out the demo to see what it has to offer.
Gambonanza based on chess, Balatro-esque roguelite. It has some solid momentum, considering that over 170,000 people downloaded it during the recent Steam Next Fest event.
The goal in each round is to capture all of the opponent’s pieces on the small-scale chessboard. To do this you will probably need to break the traditional rules of chess. helpful, Gambonanza It has over 150 powerful “Gambits” that modify your runes. These can make your pieces more powerful or force the enemy to skip a turn. The tiles on the board can also be modified (for example, to lock an enemy piece in place) and you can deploy additional pieces to score a round in your favor.
Along the way, you’ll encounter bosses. It looks like one of those machines is named M2ch4gnus C4rls3n, apparently named after real-life grandmaster and five-time world champion Magnus Carlsen. The look alone has sold me on this game.
Gambonanza – from solo developer Bluecule and publishers Sidekick Publishing and Stray Fawn Studios – is out now. The Steam version runs on PC, macOS, and Linux. It usually costs $15, but is discounted a whopping 35 percent through May 15. You can also purchase the game on iOS and Android for $7.
As soon as I started watching this trailer, I thought bobo bay Looked like a cute, cozy creature collector. But then these bobos started fighting each other in beat-em-up mode, and one took out a gun to shoot the opponent. It didn’t look as intense as it looked. palworld For the first time but this made the game more interesting than it seemed at first glance. “Think a collection of creatures meets cozy island life, with a surprising amount of depth beneath all that beauty,” a press release said. No joke.
You can grow and evolve Bobos and add traits to them. You can customize them and motivate them to participate in races and other events. And apparently shoot guns at each other.

As a ball x pit So, it would be remiss of me not to mention the latest free update that arrived this week. It adds two new characters, 11 more superpowered balls, some passive abilities, and a way for you to redo the character upgrades you previously chose.
Alas, I’m too busy with another game to check out the new characters and balls just yet. I know that, as soon as I do that, ball x pit Likely to hold on to me for at least the next dozen hours.
