Best indie indie games (212)

Shroom and Gloom

A first-person roguelike from Team Lazerbeam with separate decks for combat and exploration, released into Early Access on Steam.

Sep 10, 2026

Garden of Witches

Garden of Witches is Team Tapas's first PC game: a cute/creepy action roguelike where Thread Witch Sil herds lazy colleagues to a tea party with giant scissors. 1.0 finishes the story and rebuilds combat. Buy at $13.29 through 11 Sep 2026; wait if you need Hades-class depth.

Aug 28, 2026

Box Knight

Box Knight is a silly side-scrolling brawler in a cursed office: clock out Friday, put on the cardboard helm, and climb the tower to the CEO. 1.0 is on Steam with couch co-op. Buy if you want Castle Crashers energy with roguelite retries. Skip if you need a German build or a deep systems RPG.

Aug 25, 2026

Wayfinder

Wayfinder left the live-service MMO dream behind and shipped as a buy-to-play 3-player co-op action RPG from Airship Syndicate. Stylish Wayfinders, loot-heavy hunts, and Gloom Dagger mutators that let you shape runs. Worth a look on sale if you want Borderlands-style drop-in co-op with MMO dungeon bones; skip if you needed the original MMO pitch or a stutter-free endgame treadmill.

Oct 21, 2024

How to Fish

How to Fish looks like a cozy fishing trip and plays like Peak with rods, rifles, and seagull chaos. Shipwrecked after a boozy boat ride, you fish, fight, gamble your catch, and unlock islands with 1-4 players. Buy for chaotic co-op nights; wait if you want a chill fishing sim.

Aug 20, 2026

Don't Let It Starve

Horror roguelike bento-builder: pack Tetris meals for a hungry wall-chef.

Jun 12, 2026

Goblin Company

Goblin Company is BitBorne’s co-op mining survival debut — dig tunnels, lay chaotic rail networks, fight the dark and the creatures, chase the Giant Crystal for WHAAG MINING INC. Solo or online co-op, Deep Rock–adjacent but sillier and cheaper. Best with friends who like janky physics comedy; wait if you need polished DRG-level systems day one.

Jun 12, 2026

Dreamcards

Dreamcards is a hand-drawn roguelike deckbuilder about dreams: gather relationship cards by day, fight the nightmare by night across six mixable strategies, and chase lucid-dream scores for seven nights without slipping. Built over four years by Brazil’s Soneka Games. Best for deckbuilder fans who want esoteric mood and combo absurdity; skip if you want a conventional Slay-the-Spire clone with no dream framing.

Aug 19, 2026

Brigador Killers

Brigador Killers is Stellar Jockeys’ Early Access follow-up to the cult isometric Brigador — now an insurgency sim where you fight on foot and in stolen armor, scavenge a private arsenal, and take the war to the SNC on Mar Nosso. Expect destructive tactical sandbox missions, Makeup and Vanity Set violence-as-soundtrack, and systems still in flux through 2026. Best for Brigador fans and patient EA buyers; wait if you need a finished campaign or non-English/Linux day one.

Aug 20, 2026

VHOLUME

VHOLUME is a melancholic first-person parkour run through a brutalist, overgrown capital where bureaucracy turns a ration-ticket errand into an odyssey. Movement is the point: jump, climb, slide, and chase momentum until shortcuts feel like cheating the architecture. Solo time trials, live multiplayer races, and ghost runs keep routes alive after the story beats; Steam Workshop adds community maps. From part of the team behind Straftat — expect sharp feel, not AAA spectacle. Best if you liked Mirror’s Edge or liminal concrete playgrounds and want melancholy over neon hype.
