    MINOANS RISES — BRONZE AGE CITY-BUILDER FROM CRETE CLAIMS ITS STEAM PAGE

    Indie developer Decumanus Games has unveiled the Steam page for Minoans, a handsome side-scrolling city-building journey set in the sunlit islands and rugged coasts of the Mediterranean Bronze Age. Whether you loved the studio’s earlier work Sumerians or just dream of building palaces by the Aegean, this one looks right up your alley.

    FROM THE HILLS OF CRETE

    You take charge of a growing settlement on Crete — the heart of the Minoan civilisation. Your goal: raise humble villages into magnificent palace cities, manage a thriving maritime trade network, and expand across the Aegean to found new colonies on neighbouring islands. It’s a peaceful but challenging journey of growth and survival.

    WHAT TO EXPECT

    • Unique side-scroller perspective — watch your city unfold horizontally across the landscape
    • Resource management & trade — produce olive oil, bronze, pottery and more; ship goods across the sea to grow your wealth
    • Colonisation & diplomacy — settle new islands; meet friendly cultures who’ll share knowledge — or defend your shores against foes like centaur tribes and cyclops
    • Nature strikes back — earthquakes and droughts will test your planning and resilience
    • Grow a maritime empire — from a small hilltop settlement to the legendary palaces of Knossos and beyond

    “Build the Minoan capital and create the magnificent palaces necessary to sustain the Minoan civilisation and its maritime empire.” — Decumanus Games

    WISHLIST NOW — COMING SOON

    The Steam page is live right now — you can add Minoans to your wishlist to stay updated and be notified on release. No exact release date yet, but the debut trailer gives a lovely first look at the art style and gameplay rhythm.

  • CLING, BUILD, SURVIVE — WALL WORLD STRATEGY CLIMBS OUT TODAY ON PC

    CLING, BUILD, SURVIVE — WALL WORLD STRATEGY CLIMBS OUT TODAY ON PC

    Developer and publisher Alawar has officially launched Wall World Strategy, a unique vertical colony-building sim set on the surface of an infinite, towering Wall. It’s out right now on Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store — with a 10% launch discount running for the first two weeks.

    THE WALL AWAITS

    The Wall stretches endlessly upward — humanity’s last refuge. Your job? Take a tiny outpost and transform it into a thriving, self-sustaining colony clinging to a sheer vertical surface. Every building, every resource, every colonist matters — because up here, one mistake can send everything tumbling.

    WHAT YOU’LL DO

    • Build vertically — plan your base across the Wall’s face, expanding upwards and outwards
    • Manage your people — keep colonists fed, happy, and safe; unrest and shortages can bring down even the strongest outpost
    • Defend the climb — fend off waves of the Zyrex, hostile creatures that emerge from the depths to tear your settlement apart
    • Deploy robo-spiders — send specialised machines into uncharted sectors to mine resources, uncover relics, and map the unknown
    • Research & evolve — unlock new tech, improve production, strengthen defences, and dig deeper into the Wall’s ancient mysteries
    • Play your way — Sandbox Mode lets you build and experiment without time pressure or story constraints

    “The Core is ready to awaken. Step out, take on the role of a settlement overseer — constantly battling against the Zyrex, the harsh environment, and settlement crises.” — Alawar

    LAUNCH OFFER

    • Out now — Steam, GOG & Epic Games Store
    • 10% off for the first two weeks
    • Also available in several bundles, including the original Wall World at up to 25–30% off

  • OUTWIT THE DEMON, CRAFT THE STONE — CORPUS ET SPIRITUS LAUNCHES ON STEAM

    OUTWIT THE DEMON, CRAFT THE STONE — CORPUS ET SPIRITUS LAUNCHES ON STEAM

    The pact is sealed. Your life is the price. Alchemy is your only escape.

    You dreamed of mastery — of unlocking the ancient secrets of the Philosopher’s Stone. Desperate for power, you struck a bargain with a Homunculus: a demon that grants you knowledge beyond measure… in exchange for your life force. Every step of the way, your “partner” grows stronger — and you fade weaker. Your only hope? Outsmart it. Craft the legendary Stone. Break the pact before it consumes you.

    This is the gripping premise of Corpus et Spiritus — the all-new alchemy roguelite deckbuilder from Arpentor Studio and Firesquid, live on Steam right now.

    How you play — no swords, just wits

    Unlike most deckbuilders, there are no monsters to slay and no enemies to battle directly. Your only opponent is the pact itself — and the cunning entity feeding on you.

    • Gather rare metals — collect resources across runs, each with unique properties
    • Craft in your workshop — transmute metals into cards and talismans. What you put in shapes what you get out
    • Seven card families — Body, Mind, and Soul branches offer distinct playstyles to master
    • Balance three vital resources — Health, Wits, and Stamina. Let any drop too low, and the Homunculus claims you
    • Negotiate with the demon — trade life force for powerful boons, or refuse and face its wrath. Every run begins with a custom pact you design yourself
    • Discover the Philosopher’s Stone — piece together the ultimate recipe through experimentation, then use it to sever your bond and survive

    Hand-drawn beauty with depth to match

    FeatureDetail
    StyleElegant hand-drawn 2D art — medieval alchemy comes alive
    LanguagesEnglish, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Simplified & Traditional Chinese, Russian

    Based in Lyon, France, Arpentor Studio is a workers-owned cooperative that creates games on their own terms:

    “We refuse to exploit cognitive biases to make you spend more than you intended.”

    No loot boxes, no predatory monetisation — just a fair, thoughtfully designed game built to challenge and delight.

    Ready to break the pact?

    The 25% launch discount is active now — don’t wait until the Homunculus takes your chance. Whether you’re a deck-building veteran or fresh to the genre, Corpus et Spiritus offers something rare: a game where intelligence, strategy, and patience are your only weapons.

  • TO THE STARS, COMRADES — WORKERS & RESOURCES BLOW PAST 1M SALES AND LAUNCH SPACE PROGRAM DLC NOV 23

    TO THE STARS, COMRADES — WORKERS & RESOURCES BLOW PAST 1M SALES AND LAUNCH SPACE PROGRAM DLC NOV 23

    From the steppes to the stars

    For years you’ve built power stations, laid railways, managed supply chains, and forged a thriving socialist republic. Now the horizon stretches further than ever — all the way to the cosmos.

    Hooded Horse and developer 3DIVISION have announced that the award-winning, hyper-detailed city-builder Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic is expanding beyond Earth. The brand-new Space Program DLC lands 23 November 2026 — and the celebration is doubly sweet: the base game has officially passed 1 million sales worldwide.

    This is more than a new map or a few extra buildings. It is a complete, endgame-scale overhaul that turns your industrial powerhouse into a cosmic superpower — inspired by the real Soviet space race, from Sputnik 1 through the Vostok programme and beyond.

    Build a space programme from the ground up

    Rockets don’t just appear — they are the result of an entire nation working in unison. Every component, every fuel tank, every circuit board must be manufactured, transported, assembled, and tested before it ever reaches the launchpad:

    • Research & Development — Universities design blueprints and unlock new technologies; progress is steady but requires serious investment
    • New Industries — Specialised electronics, advanced alloys, synthetic fabrics, and precision machinery — all built in new production chains
    • Propellant Production — Manufacture the exotic fuels and cryogenic liquids needed to break free of gravity
    • Logistics on a grand scale — Move massive rocket sections by rail and road from factories to assembly halls, then to purpose-built launch complexes
    • Launch & Orbit — Send satellites, probes, and crewed missions into space — and reap the scientific and strategic rewards

    A 1960s campaign — focus on the future

    The expansion includes a dedicated narrative campaign set in the 1960s, designed to let you master these new systems without the usual early-game struggle. Your republic is already prosperous, stable, and well-developed — so you can pour your full energy into one historic, glorious goal: getting humanity into space.

    Why this matters — 1 million players and counting

    Crossing the 1 million sales mark is no small achievement for a deeply specialised, complex strategy title. Workers & Resources has earned its following the hard way: through meticulous detail, authentic economic simulation, and a refusal to simplify. Players don’t just place buildings — they manage the flow of resources, the education of the workforce, the balance of domestic production versus foreign trade, and the heartbeat of an entire nation.

    That depth has struck a chord. And now, with Space Program, the team at 3DIVISION is delivering exactly what the community has been asking for — a fitting, spectacular conclusion to the republic’s journey.

  • Lighting the Flame — Company of Heroes 3: Operation Torch DLC Deploys November 25, First New Single-Player Content Since Launch

    Lighting the Flame — Company of Heroes 3: Operation Torch DLC Deploys November 25, First New Single-Player Content Since Launch

    The wait is over. Relic Entertainment has officially announced Company of Heroes 3: Operation Torch, a brand-new narrative-driven campaign DLC that marks the first major single-player mission content since the game launched in 2023. Landing exclusively on PC via Steam on 25 November 2026, it takes players to the sun-scorched battlefields of North Africa for one of WWII’s most pivotal campaigns.

    The Story — From Beaches to the Atlas Mountains

    It’s November 1942 — and the United States enters the war in North Africa. You take command of green American troops facing their first trials against seasoned German forces, tracing the real-life Operation Torch landings through to the decisive battles of the campaign.

    The story unfolds through the eyes of three distinct American soldiers — from high command to the front lines — their perspectives weaving together the cost of war, the weight of leadership, and the transformation of a fledgling force into the army that would liberate Europe.

    What You’ll Fight

    The campaign spans 15 missions, each inspired by actual historical events and battles:

    • Beachhead Landings — storm the shores of North Africa and secure vital ports
    • Kasserine Pass — hold the line as your forces face a brutal early test against veteran Afrika Korps units
    • Hill 609 — the climactic assault that broke Axis defences and cleared the path to victory in Tunisia

    Between missions, a progression and upgrade system lets you shape your army — unlocking persistent abilities, specialised unit upgrades, and tactical bonuses that reward your preferred playstyle, whether you favour overwhelming armour, precise artillery, or hard-hitting infantry.

  • Across the Pillars — Europa Universalis V Expands to the Iberian Frontier & Mediterranean Gateway

    Across the Pillars — Europa Universalis V Expands to the Iberian Frontier & Mediterranean Gateway

    The western edge of the Mediterranean is the last stand. Only the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula remains beyond the reach of the Crown of Castile. Centuries of conflict have shrunk the Marinid holdings in Morocco and the Nasrid realm of Granada to a shadow of their former power — but they are not yet fallen.

    Europa Universalis V: Across the Pillars puts you in command of this fateful region, where the fate of kingdoms and control of the world’s most vital waterway hang in the balance.

    The Stage Is Set — History at a Turning Point

    This latest expansion focuses on the lands and waters flanking the Strait of Gibraltar — the narrow, strategic passage connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean. It is here that three great powers converge:

    • Castile — pushing southward, uniting Iberia under one banner
    • Granada — the last independent Muslim kingdom on the peninsula, clinging to its mountain strongholds and coastal cities
    • Marinid Morocco — across the strait, a North African realm whose influence in Europe has waned but whose strength across the water remains

    Every province, every alliance, and every naval skirmish shapes who holds the Pillars of Hercules — and who controls trade, travel, and war between two continents.

    What You’ll Do

    • Decide the fate of Granada — hold out against overwhelming odds, strike deals with greater powers, or forge your own path to renewed glory
    • Strengthen or sever links across the strait — sustain Marinid influence in European territories, or cut the connection entirely and turn inward
    • Dominate the Gibraltar Strait — station fleets, fortify shores, and tax or block every ship that passes; control here means controlling wealth and movement across half the known world
    • Rewrite history — what if the southern kingdoms held their ground? What if Castile fractured before unification? What if the strait became a highway for a single empire?

    Key Features

    • Deep regional focus — reworked provinces, unique mission trees, and national ideas tailored to Castile, Aragon, Granada, Morocco, and Portugal
    • Strait mechanics — new systems governing naval access, blockades, trade diversion, and amphibious assaults across the narrow passage
    • Dynamic decline and resurgence — reflect historical shifts or reverse them; turn weakened realms into resurgent powers through diplomacy, war, or trade
    • Enhanced flavour — new events, cultural dynamics, and religious tensions that mirror the complex, layered history of the region

    Why This Region Matters

    The Strait of Gibraltar has always been more than water — it is a gate. Whoever stands at the Pillars of Hercules decides who sails through, who profits, and who falls. In Across the Pillars, that gate is yours to guard, open, or close forever.

    Will you finish the Reconquista? Will you defend the last Muslim stronghold on the peninsula? Or will you build something entirely new from the ruins of centuries of war?

  • Decks, Defence & Deliciously Devastating Combos — Tower Tactics II Lands in Steam Early Access!

    Decks, Defence & Deliciously Devastating Combos — Tower Tactics II Lands in Steam Early Access!

    Developer asraworks and publisher Assemble Entertainment have officially unleashed Tower Tactics II, the roguelike deck-building tower-defence sequel, into Steam Early Access as of 8 October 2026. The follow-up to the acclaimed Tower Tactics: Liberation blends card-crafting cunning with relentless wave survival — and it’s bigger, bolder, and far more ridiculous than before.

    The Premise — Your Deck Is Your Defence

    Enemies pour in, wave after wave. You don’t just build towers — you build a strategy. Every tower placement, every card drawn, every combo chained together shapes how you hold the line. And when things get tough? You go back to the deck, refine your approach, and come back stronger.

    • No two runs play the same — roguelike structure means fresh cards, layouts, and challenges every time
    • Stack the absurd — uncover wildly overpowered synergies and laugh as enemies melt before your increasingly ridiculous defences
    • Master the Sanctuary — permanent progression hub where you unlock cards, trinkets, and upgrades to take into future runs

    What’s New in the Sequel

    • Now — Core campaign, 5 characters, base card pool, Workshop integration
    • Ongoing — New cards, trinkets, enemy types, and story expansions

    Why It Matters

    The first Tower Tactics: Liberation earned a loyal following by proving deckbuilding and tower defence were made for each other. The sequel takes that winning formula and supersizes it — hero cards, deeper customisation, community tools, and a campaign that promises over 80 hours right out the gate. Whether you’re chasing the perfect combo or just want to watch thousands of enemies bounce off your absurdly overpowered walls, Tower Tactics II has you covered.

    The deck is shuffled. The waves are coming. Build something beautiful — and utterly unbreakable.

  • Belts, Bullets & 200K Wishes — BELTFED Joins Hooded Horse!

    Belts, Bullets & 200K Wishes — BELTFED Joins Hooded Horse!

    Hooded Horse, the powerhouse publisher behind Manor Lords, Against the Storm, and Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era, has officially added BELTFED — Roguelike Factory Defence to its prestigious portfolio. Developed by Cornwall-based two-man team Hello World Studios, this industrial-scale blend of automation, tower defence, and roguelike chaos has already rocketed past 200,000 Steam wishlists in under two weeks — and the hype shows zero signs of slowing.

    You Are the Machine — And the Machine Is Deadly

    In BELTFED, you play as a rogue AI with one unwavering mission: automate death. Your factory is not just a production hub — it is your weapon. Lay conveyor belts, wire up smelters, and feed assemblers; turn raw ore into bullets, lasers, mortar shells, and drone swarms — all while hundreds of thousands of ravenous alien bugs descend to tear your operation apart.

    This isn’t just defence — it’s industrialised extermination. A single run can see kill counts climb into the millions, with every weapon, wall, and turret fuelled entirely by the supply lines you build.

    What Makes BELTFED Stand Out

    FeatureThe Lowdown
    Factory AutomationBuild belts, furnaces, and assembly lines — your ammo is made, not found
    Roguelike StructureEvery run starts fresh; permanent meta-progression unlocks new tech
    Dynamic Upgrade CardsGame-changing modifiers — from exploding buildings to black-hole cannons
    Massive ScaleHundreds of thousands of enemies; kill counts in the millions per run

    Multiple PlanetsUnique worlds with distinct hazards and resources
    Custom LoadoutsPick your Nexus core and starting modules to match your playstyle
    Release Window2027 — PC via Steam

    The Hype Train Is Moving Fast

    The announcement trailer dropped and the internet took notice — fast. Surpassing 100,000 wishlists in 11 days before doubling down to hit 200,000+ in under two weeks, BELTFED has become one of the most-wanted upcoming strategy games on Steam. Millions have watched the trailer, captivated by the promise of satisfying automation fused with relentless, overwhelming combat.

    Hooded Horse CEO Tim Bender had this to say:

    “We played BELTFED, and it’s incredibly fun. The trailer rocks and has got people excited — but the game itself is going to knock their socks off.”

    Hello World Studios Lead Designer Toby Atkinson added:

    “I’m a lifelong strategy fan, and Hooded Horse has published some of my favourite games over the years. They know the genre inside out — so we couldn’t imagine anyone better to partner with.”

    From Cornwall to the World

    Hello World Studios is the brainchild of brothers Toby and Troy Atkinson, a two-person independent team based in the South West of England. BELTFED is their debut project — and with Hooded Horse now in their corner, they’re poised to deliver something truly special.

    A public demo is in development, though no release date has been confirmed yet. The full game is scheduled to arrive on Steam in 2027, with English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, and Simplified Chinese supported at launch.

    Why It Matters

    BELTFED sits at the intersection of three massive trends: satisfying factory automation, tense tower defence, and replayable roguelike progression. With a publisher that knows exactly how to nurture deep strategy games, a dev team pouring passion into every belt and bullet, and a player base already hungry for more — this is one to watch.

    The bugs are coming. Your factory is ready. Will you be there when the production lines open?

    Commanders get a tense new US Conquest mission: Amblève River. German forces have occupied Remouchamps and cut you off from the main Allied army across the water. One intact bridge remains — but the enemy knows it, too. Locate it, storm the defences, and secure the crossing before the route is sealed. Expect dug-in positions, heavy resistance, and high-stakes tactical decision-making.

    Cruise Control — Your W Key Thanks You

    No more holding the pedal down mile after mile — cruise control is here! Set your speed, relax your fingers, and focus on what matters: scanning the horizon, plotting your manoeuvres, and leading your platoon. The update also brings smarter AI navigation, smoother infantry movement, HUD customisation, controller improvements, and a host of polish and performance boosts.

    Steel, Squad, and Superior Gear — Warhounds Unleash Major Update 1.0.2!

    Lock and load — your mercenary squad just got a massive upgrade. Developers Everplay DMCC and Brightika have deployed Major Update 1.0.2 for Warhounds, one of the biggest free drops since launch, bringing powered exoskeletons, refined progression, deeper customisation, and a host of community-requested improvements to the turn-based tactical battlefield.

    Power Up — Exoskeletons Enter the Fight

    The headline addition is the all-new Exoskeleton armour system — late-game heavy protection found in high-tier loot or purchased from the Black Market. Slip one over your operative’s kit and gain game-changing perks:

    • Extreme Vitality — boosted resilience against damage
    • Armour Recovery — self-repair through combat
    • Autoreanimator — automatic revival when downed (conditions permitting)
    • Bonus Action Points and Health to keep you in the fight

    These frames don’t just shield your squad — they fundamentally change how you plan and survive high-stakes engagements.

    Build Your Squad Your Way — Rookie Class Selection

    By popular demand, every new recruit now arrives with full class choice — Assault, Specialist, Sniper, Machine Gunner, or Grenadier. No more random rolls; fill gaps in your team, experiment with loadouts, and build the exact mercenary unit you want.

    Smoother Campaign, Sharper Tactics

    The entire campaign economy and progression have been rebalanced from the ground up — meaning fairer income, more meaningful upgrades, and a steadier difficulty curve from early skirmishes to late-game operations. Quality-of-life touches include:

    • Clear progress bars for recon and covert missions
    • Black Market countdown timers
    • Post-mission recovery timelines so you know exactly who returns when

    Fresh Looks, Wider Reach

    The Locker Room expands with armour attachments, country flag patches, and deeper character customisation so every operative stands out. Four new localisations also make the game accessible to even more commanders worldwide.

    Celebratory Discount

    To mark the update, Warhounds is 20% off on Steam for a limited time — the perfect moment to enlist or return to the field.

    Your squad is stronger, your gear is deadlier, and the mission is just beginning. Will you answer the call?
