INDIEVELOPEMENT

EARLY ACCESS HIGHLIGHTS

Discover these gems released between Jun 16, 2025 - Jul 15, 2025, already making waves in Early Access.

Ground of Aces

Mycopunk

A squad of scrappy robot rejects takes on a fungal apocalypse for a corporation that probably doesn’t even know their names. Mutated tech, weaponised mould, and grid-based upgrades turn extermination into something… beautifully grotesque.

King of Bones

Jurassic chaos goes full brawler. Fight tooth and tail in physics-driven arenas packed with logs, geysers, dismemberment, and 27 prehistoric titans. Death finds a way (and it probably bites).

Primordialis

Craft a nightmare fish out of teeth, shocks, and explosive offspring. With over 60 cell types to combine, this physics-based roguelike lets you evolve or die in a savage, system-driven ecosystem.

BloodRush: Undying Wish

Health drains fast. You don’t. Dash, slash and string together combos in a gothic roguelike where standing still is basically dying faster.

Project Silverfish

Wade into a cursed cold-war zone with a wrench, a gun, and no instructions. This is immersive sim survival with mechs, factions, paranoia—and no one to trust.

Ground of Aces

Manage a WWII air base from the ground up in a comic-book inspired world. Train pilots, build out infrastructure, and prepare for the worst while keeping morale from crashing.

NITRO GEN OMEGA

A turn-based tactics game that feels like directing a mech anime. Assign your crew, plan cinematic attacks, and keep morale steady as your airship drifts across a dying world crawling with machines.

Nightmare Frontier

Tactical combat meets extraction horror in this 1900s fever dream. Lead your squad into a corrupted boomtown crawling with nightmares, then decide how far you’ll push your luck to get back out alive.

Xenopurge

From your command center, lead elite units into alien-infested facilities—indirectly. This screen-stacked auto-battler focuses on prep, gear, and tight decisions, where your squad dies if your calls are off.

CROWDFUNDING

KICKSTARTER PICKS

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

GodsTV

Teamcrafter

Craft gear for adventurers in this cozy roguelite built around gathering, forging, and elemental materials. Each run offers new talents, relics, and biomes to explore.

GodsTV

Clout is power in this chaotic roguelike where you kill for fame on live TV. Sell out, level up, and survive the Capitalypse with wild weapons and weirder gods.

Eldramoor

A VR MMORPG with flexible classes, rich exploration, and player-driven quests. Whether you raid, craft, or hang at the tavern, this world’s made for your story.

Lionhearts

A medieval sandbox where every player shapes the world. Build kingdoms, control trade, or rule through faith in this ambitious, persistent feudal simulator.

Happy gaming!
