Steam Next Fest: Explore a Variety of Demos on Valve’s Platform!

From October 14th to October 21st, Gabe Newell’s platform will be showcasing a wide variety of games in the pipeline.

 

The Steam Next Fest covers pretty much every genre, so it’s probably worth giving you a dozen examples of what’s worth checking out. One such example is Achilles: Survivor, which Dark Point Games has defined not as bullet hell, but as bullet heaven. There are different abilities per character and you can evolve your character over time. The Vampire Survivors clone is set in the Achilles: Legends Untold universe. Then, in Atomic Exile, set in 2024, you’ll explore a post-apocalyptic America full of mutant creatures and other survivors. Everyone is trying to survive in this new situation in this over-the-top extraction shooter. Commandos Origins is a new strategy title from Claymore Game Studios that continues the long-running franchise.

Delta Force (recently simplified to its new name) is one of the most wishlisted games. Big PvP battles, an extraction shooter, and the Black Hawk Down campaign are all in store for this game, which has no release date yet. No word on when DeTechtive 2112 will be released. We control a detective in a cyberpunk city who must mostly sneak around to uncover clues in the case. Sand offers an open-world PvPvE experience, and in it you have to explore a planet called Sophie by building a mechanical base that can move. There’s a little bit of a homegrown angle: this land was once ruled by the Austro-Hungarian Empire! Temtem: Swarm, due out sometime this year from Crema: this time we get unique abilities, lots of projectiles, and a roguelike experience. The Precinct, from Fallen Tree Games and Kwalee, offers a classic GTA experience with a neo-noir cop sandbox adventure where you must clean up the streets from criminal gangs (coming later this year).

The Spirit of the Samurai (release: December 12) is a 2D action-candy and dark fantasy with stop-motion animation. Takeshi takes control of a world full of Japanese demons that want to invade his village). The combat system is not easy and multiple combos are required. Void Sols (out November 12) from Finite Reflection Studios has taken the Souls clone experience and turned it into artistic minimalism. Warspace (out in January) is a 1-4 player co-op space shooter in an open world with RPG elements, all set in a procedurally generated galaxy (a la No Man’s Sky). And Worshippers of Cthulhu (October 21) builds on the cosmic horror of its name with colony management and city building.

These are just a few examples.
