It’s an intriguing blend of combat and tactical gameplay, and the turn-based strategic layer looks to be a delightful finishing touch. Unlike Mount and Blade, where you largely just ride around in combat stabbing enemy soldiers and hoping your subordinates do the same, Voor De Kroon will have players issuing orders to up to five sections of their army. As a 13th-century European lord, you’ll need to manage your kingdom from turn to turn, then take the field for real-time, third-person battles with up to 600 soldiers on the field. Wishlist Archaelund on Steam Voor De Kroonįuture Minimalism’s project Voor De Kroon looks to be a promising title for fans of the Mount and Blade series. Archaelund enters early access later this year. Encounters are designed to scale with the party, so each fight is a battle for survival. The battlefields are pretty intricate themselves, making Archaelund very visually-appealing overall.įans of Baldur’s Gate should feel right at home in this game, commanding a party of adventurers against dangerous foes. Archaelund seeks to solve that problem by letting the player traverse a beautifully-crafted fantasy setting in first-person, jumping to grid-based map battles when combat starts. Wishlist Royal Frontier on Steam ArchaelundĪs much as we love tactical fantasy RPGs, it’s hard not to be envious of the expansive, immersive worlds that more freeform games let players explore. No release date has been announced, but the game is listed as coming “soon.” Also, the wagons are pulled by giant bears which is a nice touch. While the game looks to be a fairly simple affair of leveling party members, fighting battles, and resolving events, it has an undeniably charming look and the combat purports to be a blend of turn-based and real-time. It’s FTL meets The Oregon Trail as you outfit your travelers, choose your route, and do your best to survive. Woblyware’s Royal Frontier puts players in charge of a caravan traveling across a dangerous frontier filled with fantasy monsters. Wishlist Monster Girl Manager on Steam Royal Frontier
The game is available in early access – just be careful which titles you click on when searching “Monster Girl” in Steam, or you’ll see some very different graphics instead. The game’s pixel graphics are quite nice as well. RPG monsters are a favorite of the musume subgenre, and Monster Girl Manager is a (safe for work!) dungeon-crawler where you’ll lead a team of procedurally-generated mutant schoolgirls to treasure and glory.Įach character’s appearance, personality, traits, and stats are determined by their random seed, and players can share seeds to help each other build their dream team. Wishlist Battle Bands on Steam Monster Girl Managerįrom famous racehorses to World War II battleships, nothing is safe from being re-imagined as an anime lady. Battle Bands enters early access on 17 March, so turn your speakers up to eleven and get ready to melt some faces. The game has a grungy, cartoony look that’s perfect for the theme and (of course) a headbanging rock & roll soundtrack.
The game boasts a single-player campaign where you’ll go on tour to do battle with (sometimes literal) monsters of rock, and multiplayer includes a Battle of the Bands tournament mode. Each card in your growing deck represents a slick riff, killer beat, or showstopping stunt as your band competes to bring the house down. Why shred monsters when you can shred a guitar solo? Battle Bands is Slay The Spire meets Rock Band.
These titles are all from independent developers, and some are solo projects – if a game looks even a little like something you might play, be sure to support these hard-working devs by wishlisting and following their project on Steam. Whether you’re hoping to explore an open world in Archaelund or Crystal Project, or to show your deckbuilding prowess in The Zone or Battle Bands, this KAEOI list has the weird, the wonderful, and the wonky.
No, it’s not convention season – it’s another edition of Keep An Eye On It! These turn-based RPGs and Strategy Games, currently in development, have piqued our interest and we think they’ll pique yours too. Childhood nightmares, medieval plague zombies, and cyclopes in Japanese schoolgirl uniforms.
