#IndieGames #SteamDemos

🇬🇧 The #SteamRTSFestival has kicked off, including a few playable #SteamDemos!

If I may leave you with a recommendation, all demos of the #StealthStrategy titles by #MimimiGames - #ShadowTacticsBladesOfTheShogun, #Desperados3, and #ShadowGambitTheCursedCrew - have been reactivated for the festival.
 
Shadow Tactics and Shadow Gambit are some of the best #StrategyGames I've ever played (I'm planning to play Desperados 3 in the future, too), and everything I've seen from Mimimi Games in general has been absolutely stellar.
 
In fact, the demos of Shadow Tactics and Shadow Gambit are what absolutely floored me and sold me the games back in the day - so, if you're a #strategy fan, do consider giving them a shot! 😉

On the 5th and final day of #Gamescom, I decided to round off things with some #sim, #cozy and #StoryGames from #IndieArenaBooth. Among the #SteamDemos I had the joy of playing are:

#WinterBurrow
#TavernKeeper
#Blueberry
#Koira

It's so heartening to see how many high-quality #IndieGames from #Germany there are at #Gamescom #IndieArenaBooth. I've already tried out #SteamDemos of some returning titles in the past years, and here are 4 I can recommend:
 
#Prim (#PointAndClick #adventure with an art style inspired by Tim Burton)
#TheDarkestFiles (#DetectiveGame about WW2 crimes)
#DrovaForsakenKin (#PixelArt #RPG with #soulslike-inspired combat)
#ElementsDestiny (pixel art RPG inspired by classic #JRPGs)

To kick off #Gamescom month, I played some #SteamDemos of games from #IndieArenaBooth in advance, focusing on titles that are going to release soon. (In general, if a game strikes your fancy, ALWAYS make sure to check the news posts on #Steam; some devs take their demos offline shortly before/after the release.)
This #NewInAugust spotlight belongs to:

#Endzone2
#CloserTheDistance
#Preserve
#Bloodless
