Flare is a great looking isometric action RPG with similarities to the early Diablo games. The game uses a custom built engine, that helps make the game look and feel like an old school action RPG game, but with a modern day sheen and improved game mechanics.

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.

In Viscera Cleanup Detail you’re a janitor who is tasked with cleaning up a facility after after a brutal and bloody battle which saw a lone hero (not you, you’re a space janitor remember) thwarting an alien invasion. It is your duty to get this place cleaned up.

The facility is how you’d imagine somewhere in Dead Space or Half Life to look after the game’s finished and the hero’s gone home and left his mess to be cleaned up by someone else. So grab your mop and bucket and get started. Clean blood stains, pick up spent cartridges, and incinerate alien body parts in the greatest FPM (First Person Mopper) game you’ll ever play!

Boring Man is a fun online 2D Stickman shooter with over 20 brutal weapons currently on Steam Greenlight. Jump off walls and ride skateboards as you try and get the drop on the enemy.

It’s a fast paced, hectic game with lovely OTT violence that draws inspiration from Soldat, TF2, and Quake. It’s got a nice selection of gameplay modes, including Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Climb and Zombrains. The only thing we’re not sure about is the title, Boring Man is a lot of things, but it’s definitely not boring!

X-Speed is a fast paced, futuristic racer similar to WipEout and F-Zero. There’s a nice selection of ships to choose from, all upgradeable using credits won through races and power-ups can be found around the track. Take part in races, tournaments or Arena Deathmatches, with online multiplayer due to be implemented before release. It still needs development, but the game already has a great sense of speed, a clean visual style, a suitably techno/dance soundtrack, good controlsl, and most importantly, it’s fun to play.

The game is currently on Steam Greenlight, and still needs a bit of work before it’s released. One thing the Devs are keen to do is change the name, as they’re not very keen on ‘X-Speed’, so if you have any ideas, get in touch with them (@DamienSturdy), and you might get your name in the Credits.

No longer must your Pokémon be squashed into 2 dimensions! Pokémon 3D is a fan-made recreation of the old Pokémon games Gold/Silver by Nintendo/GameFreak.
You can do everything that you could do in the original games, catch, train and fight Pokémon, collect items and explore towns in 3D. You can even play with a friend in LAN co-op.
It’s a fun game that lovingly recreates the feeling of the original games, but adds an extra dimension. Pokémon 3D is currently under development and features are being added frequently.
