Fabula Mortis is a great new Steampunk FPS set in featuring twisted characters from old fairy tales, currently on Steam Greenlight.

Featuring characters such as Alice (shown above), Rouge (Red Riding Hood), Wulf (self explanatory) and ROB (Tin Man?) that encourage different playstyles, the game has fast paced combat with big beefy weapons that recalls old school FPS games such as UNREAL Tournament and Quake.

The game also looks visually stunning, with lots of nice little touches, it’s a joy to roam around the twisted Wonderland that developers Deadghost have created.

Nax of the Universe is an Action RPG that focuses on having a fast, fluid combat, made by @theRaonak . It’s a joy to play, wandering around the retro 2D world, laying waste to enemies with some badass sword skills. It’s got a nice, fluid fighting style, that allows you to block, teleport, change weapons on the fly, and pull off combos. There are also plenty of RPG elements, such as loot, Mario-esque coins littered around the levels, and an XP and Leveling up system.

Nax of the Universe is still very early in development, but it’s shaping up to be a great little game, with it’s mixture of 2D RPG elements and fluid fighting mechanics. It feels like (Devil May Crys) Dante has 'blacked-up’ and invaded the 2D Hyrule world of early Zelda games!

Slay The Beast revolves around a gloriously simple and unique core concept, it’s a fighting game where one player controls a huge boss-level monster and the other players control puny (but respawning) heroes. The heroes then try and ‘Slay The Beast’, using teamwork, tactics and a variety of special moves.

It’s still in early Alpha, so it’s still lacking some features, but the core gameplay, art style and fighting mechanics are solid, we’d definitely recommend giving it a try.

Cornerstone is an open world action adventure game inspired by Viking culture, The Legend of Zelda games (Wind Waker most notably) and Dark souls that has achieved it’s kickstarter goal and has been Greenlit on Steam.

Cornerstone encourages exploration. The world is structured similar to Wind Waker with a series of islands connected within vast ocean with almost every areas is accessible from the start. You travel between islands on a (fast travel enabled) boat and explore these islands you will discover useful tools and abilities to help you on your upcoming challenges.

Game progression doesn’t revolve around increasing stats and gathering XP. You explore the world in a nonlinear way, with some areas locked off until you have the correct equipment, as in a zelda game.

Although we’ve mentioned Zelda a lot, Cornerstone is very much its own game and not simply a Zelda rip-off. The likeable main character (Tyrim) has plenty of character and it’s a joy to explore the beautifully crafted world.
