VOIN was the opposite of VA Proxy. Indie games don't have the best track record for first person melee combat, but VOIN smashes it with super responsive and brutal hack and slash action. In addition to that it also has plenty of itemization, great visual and music. #steamNEXTfests.team/a/2464530
Fight hordes of enemies in fast-paced first-person hack-and-slash battles. Explore the world of dark fantasy filled with secrets and dangers, and master your skill of wielding primordial elements.
V.A. Proxy is the biggest disappointment of the fest. I've been following the dev for years and was excited to finally give it a try, but I was met with atrocious textures (blurry mess with underexposed black splotches everywhere)...1/2 #steamNEXTfests.team/a/2063390
V.A Proxy is a fast-paced parry and movement focused combat game with a massive dynamic megastructure to explore, it follows the story of three machines that seek freedom as they fall deeper into the ...
UKNON Jones & Guynelk 2 is probably the weirdest game I've even played, going even beyond Skylight Freerange 2: Gachduine and Lemuria. Everything about this game is bizarre and unexplainable, including absolutely batshit insane controls. #steamNEXTfests.team/a/2899300
Striden is a United44-like (WW2-themed FPS in which you scavenge for supplies to build and upgrade your base, kinda Rust-lite), which means that it will unfortunately die 1-2 weeks after launch. #steamNEXTfests.team/a/2052970
Loot, Build, Plunder and send the radio signal for freedom. STRIDEN is the fast-paced, sandbox looter shooter survival game that you've never experienced before.
The Spirit of the Samurai looks great, but personally I don't like how the stop-motion animations look in action, and the combat system doesn't feel good enough to be interesting for a long time. Kinda conflicted on this one. #steamNEXTfests.team/a/1507120
A village in peril. A samurai reanimated. An Oni advancing. Fight an army of undead warriors and Japanese monsters as a human, a Kodama, and a cat in this 2D stop-motion action adventure.
I went in almost blind expecting this to be some silly 3D action platformer, but it turned out to be a Persona-esque Silent Hill-themed kinda Survival Horror with simple but effective combat. Very interesting. #steamNEXTfests.team/a/1598780
This story is about a girl who, by the will of fate, faced the beast, and in order to become free she was forced to study its nature. A story-driven shooter with aggressive gunfights and terrifying mo...
Mushroom Musume is a text-based life sim where you play as a mushroom girl growing up in a small village and choosing how to live her life. Very interesting, cozy, and cute. The demo alone has 30 endings, with the full version promising at least as many more. #steamNEXTfests.team/a/2484580
Raise a mushroom from a spore into a fine young woman, then discover the twists and turns her life may take in this creepy-cute fairytale life simulation game.
The Precinct is a pretty fun reverse-GTA sandbox (still with a proper story campaign though) in which you play as a cop going on beats and responding to callouts while following all the proper procedures, set in 80s noir cop movie setting. #steamNEXTfests.team/a/490110
Averno City, 1983. Gangs rule the streets and your father lies restless in his grave. Clean up the city, uncover the truth, and embark on thrilling vehicle chases through destructible environments in ...
Permafrost is a competent survival crafting game that I can see myself playing for 30h doing the regular menial tasks that you do in these kinda games, but there's nothing really to the game that would make it easy to recommend to people less interested in the genre. #steamNEXTfests.team/a/2254990
Embark on a brutal journey of survival in a perpetual winter. Hunt and gather resources for building and utilize deep survival mechanics to craft your way through a harsh, unforgiving landscape. Forge...
