Slay the Spire meets Into the Breach in new roguelike, demo out now
Take the tactical combat and turn-based strategy of the phenomenal Into the Breach, but melded with the card game elements of beloved roguelike deckbuilder Slay the Spire, and you have Tendryll. One of the most promising new games I’ve played during the ongoing Steam Next Fest, you can try out Tendryll right now courtesy of a free demo, and I’d definitely recommend giving it a shot if you’re after that next roguelike hit after all those big 2023 winners such as Wildfrost and Cobalt Core.

Fable meets Stardew Valley meets Rimworld in the RPG life sim adventure Mirthwood
Mirthwood is a new medieval fantasy RPG and life-sim adventure in the works, and it sounds right up our alley.
So much so, we are a bit disappointed we’ll have to wait until next year to get our hands on it.
But good things come to those who wait, and wait we shall for the Bad Ridge Games title.
Greedventory is like Dark Souls meets Monkey Island, and it’s out now

Persona meets teen Scooby-Doo shenanigans in supernatural RPG Demonschool
After playing the the demo at last year’s PAX West, then playing the same demo again at this year’s PAX East, and then playing it a third time from the comfort of my own home as part of this year’s LudoNarraCon, I think I’m slightly obsessed with Demonschool.
I’ve had a blast beating up supernatural weirdos with a group of misfit college teens. Together with its soundtrack of absolute bangers that combines dramatic church choir chorus with pulsing synth wave beats (please put the OST on Spotify, Ysbryd), and a slick art style that makes me dribble like a brain-hungry zombie every time I see it, I’m thinking that Demonschool might very well be on its way to being be one of my favourite games of 2023 when it releases sometime this year. What can I say? I love punching freaky demons in the face.

Stardew-like meets murder mystery Grave Seasons has some supernatural secrets still to come
Last month Rachel made us aware of a life sim called Grave Seasons, a kind of mash up of perennial favourite Stardew Valley and, er, the half-season serial killer arc of a police procedural TV show. Naturally this turned my head, like Tarantino walking past a ladies shoe store, and I emailed the developers Perfect Garbage to find out a bit more. They describe the game as “fun, campy and spooky” and hint at yet more secrets to be revealed. Appropriate for a game where, every time you start a new run, one of the townsfolk starts killing everyone else.
