Mysterio

To be fair, the game’s been in “early access” on itch.io since at least April 1 (when I purchased it). So it’s more developed than your average Steam title on Day 1 of EA.
Wildermyth really has my antennae up. Have you played it much since April? If so, what’s your take? From the devs beta description blurb on Steam, it sounds pretty complete already so I might grab it.
I haven’t, since I was waiting for it to enter Steam EA. Hoping to today, though!
Doh! Didn’t happen. Too many college football games and Lightning game to watch. Sorry, @Coldsteel!
Trust me, I understand. But, I’m a Caps fan myself. :)
I have just fiddled with the first campaign for an hour, and the game felt quite janky for the first few minutes. Then it began very quickly to make sense, to fit together, and then it got… well, quite amazing.
I am really impressed, it is even better than what I thought it would be. It also has got one of the most goddamn simple and functional game this side of Templar Battleforce. Very few clicks needed, yet zero missclicks happening.
As far as issues, the only so far is that the scenario map generation is a bit lengthy (I’d say you have to wait for about a minute on my little computer), but whatever.
The game actually makes me think of what could, maybe, be an even better MASSIVE CHALICE — well, excepting for the soundtrack.
I bought it and played it for a couple hours and I really, really like what I see so far.
I’m dedicated to holding off until it goes on sale… even a teeny bit. I know it just hit EA but a guy can have dreams, can’t he?
One thing I’ve noticed about my vow to not play EA games - I’ve got a number of games on my wishlist that I put there when they were in EA. Oftentimes they sit there for a year or longer - and then they come out of EA. But sometimes when that occurs it’s been on the list for so long that my enthusiasm to get the game has evaporated (because there’s always some new shiny thing around the next corner). Maybe I should give in to my impulses and pull the trigger if it’s a game that really speaks to me, even if its EA.

I was a bit wary of this one, but the Steam forum addresses all my concerns.
So, this is not a thing anyone should buy, and I generally stay away from meme/meta/etc non-games on Steam, but it’s a funny thing they did with some educational value (read the store page). There is actual Drawkanoid game in the works as well. From the developers of Desktop Dungeons:

Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders was one of my top 3 games on the original Xbox, and I have always wanted more entries in this series. But everything I’ve ever heard about this entry over the last 3 or 4 years (while I’ve half-assedly checked on it) made it sound like utter trash drowning in malicious micro-transactions and shitty MMO stylings. And while I don’t know what your personal concerns were with the title, last I heard this was predatory junkware stuck in development hell for over a decade.
I would definitely buy this game if the devs managed to turn the thing into a genuinely good game, and I’ll certainly visit the game’s Steam forums to read up on players’ opinions, but until I see a few hundred Steam reviews I’m worried the current hype is just a vocal minority of cultists trying to support the game before release.
Unfortunately it looks like the Xbox was the only time they did the cool Dynasty Warriors/strategy hybrid. The original game was an RTS, the 360 one and this both appear to be underbaked ARPGs.
I have no interest in this game really, but the trailer made me smile:
Why does everybody link to these games already in the Cart? You can just link to the store page, right? Am I missing something?
