Early Access Highlights

Discover these gems released between Jan 19, 2025 - Feb 16, 2025, already making waves in Early Access.

Gravelord

A boomer shooter with attitude, speed, and pure carnage. Dash through levels, blast enemies to bits, and wield the Spectral Shovel for chaotic combat and insane mobility.

Tokyo Xtreme Racer

High-speed duels through a neon-lit Tokyo, where mind games matter as much as horsepower. Customize your ride, outmaneuver rivals, and break their resolve in intense midnight highway battles.

Only False

A high-stakes battle of deception where every bluff could be your last. Outsmart your opponents, survive deadly traps, and master the art of lying in a twisted card game where the only way out is through.

Novus Orbis

A fresh spin on the deckbuilder formula, blending deep combo mechanics with strategic turn management. Tougher than Slay the Spire, with a stunning art style and an evolving world packed with secrets—every run is a test of skill and adaptability.

SWORN

A co-op roguelike where fast-paced combat meets deep build diversity. With over 300 blessings, multiple classes, and a progression system that rewards mastery, every run is a fresh challenge. If you love Hades and crave co-op action, this one’s for you.

Astronomics

Mine, automate, and survive in the depths of the asteroid belt. Manage a fleet of worker bots, fend off pirates, and strike it rich for a chance at a life on Earth—if you can afford it.

Turbo Dismount® 2

Chaos, comedy, and pure physics mayhem. Turbo Dismount 2 cranks up the destruction with new characters, wild stunts, and limitless creativity—because crashing has never been this fun.

SCP: Fragmented Minds

A decaying Mars facility, a broken Foundation, and horrors beyond containment. Unravel the truth behind Site-113, face relentless anomalies, and survive humanity’s darkest hour—because no one is coming to save you.

Heart of the Machine

A sentient AI with limitless potential in a crumbling cyberpunk city. Will you rise as a savior, rule as a tyrant, or disappear into the shadows, manipulating humanity from afar? Every decision rewrites the future—across time, power, and morality, the choice is yours.

City of Springs

Rise against a ruthless regime in a steampunk city on the edge of rebellion. Sneak, fight, and craft drone allies to outwit robotic enforcers and spark a revolution.

Wendigo Blue

Defend your home from invading gods in a fast-paced brawler where every fight brings you closer to the truth. Customize your playstyle, battle towering foes, and fight alone or with up to four players to save Erebus from divine destruction.

CROWDFUNDING

Kickstarter Picks

Here are three projects personally backed this month—plus our profile to prove it.

Tails of Fate

A hand-crafted Metroidvania where dynamic combat meets old-school RPG charm. Switch between unique heroes on the fly, explore a vast open world, and battle legendary foes in a beautifully crafted pixel-art adventure.

MINDWAVE

A rapid-fire battle of reflexes and perception, where microgames pull you into the minds of your opponents. Climb Mindscape Tower, face surreal challenges, and survive a chaotic clash of sight, sound, and subconscious.

Alterium Shift

A love letter to classic JRPGs with a modern edge. Choose your hero, shift between dimensions, and shape a world on the brink of collapse. Nostalgic yet fresh, every choice carves a new path in this rich, story-driven adventure.

Happy gaming!
