DRAKERZ: Confrontation is an innovative augmented reality Trading Card Game that has just released a free-to-play Beta on Steam.

Players do battle against online opponents using physical cards that are scanned through a normal webcam. Simply lay your card and your selected creature will spawn from it, ready for battle, like a Pokémon from a Pokéball. Each character is wonderfully animated and has it’s own stats that will assist in battle. Character stats aren’t the be-all and end-all though as you can tactically move the card in different ways to attack and defend.

It’s a fun TCG that brings something different to the table (or spawns something on top of it). It is still in Beta and needs a little balancing, but the devs are keen to get feedback. The servers are pretty busy at the moment, so if the launcher stalls, simply reload.

Blue Saga is a new pirate themed MMORPG with gorgeous retro 2D graphics that’s inspired by Dark Souls, Pokemon and the One Piece anime. It’s a great game, with a huge world to explore, by land or by sea, some interesting characters, and a wide variety of monsters to battle in real-time.

It’s a great game with lots of character, it’s a bit like the legend of Zelda, but you can play it online with friends and features some mighty fine pixel-art.

The rather long titled DeathOfSerious Mugen Pack World Of Madness is an awesome M.U.G.E.N based fighter that allows for some very silly (and brilliant) match-ups. Allowing you to pit Homer Simpson Vs Peter Griffin, Megaman vs Sub Zero, Kirby Vs Spider man, Iron Man Vs Kirby and Mario Vs Spongebob.

The roster in the Alpha currently includes 30 characters battling over 50 classic video game stages, but the goal for the finished game is a massive 1344 characters and 500 stages (for an idea of how that will play, check out Salty Bet). The rather ambitious plan it to bring a bit of balance and polish to those 1344 M.U.G.E.N created characters, which as you can imagine, may be quite tricky. Balance isn’t the main draw here anyway, if you want a competitive fighter get Streetfighter 4, if you want to experience Homer Simpson and Peter Griffin beating the crap out of each other on Rainbow Road, get this!

It’s still in early Alpha, but already it’s thoroughly entertaining and perfect for settling the age old question “Who would win in a fight between…”

Soulbound is an action-adventure game in which you play as the Beastmaster, who roams the city of Caladan catching, taming and fighting monsters, using their skills and weaknesses to your advantage. It’s no Pokemon clone though! You roam the world from a top-down Diablo-style camera angle, with your selection of monsters tethered to you, battling against enemies in real time.

The game’s still early in development, but it’s a great idea, it’s real-time Pokemon with a pinch of Diablo

Super Pokémon Eevee Edition is a fangame created to recapture the nostalgia of classic Pokémon games, made by @theRaonak

It’s got a wonderful retro art style, reminiscent of the early Gold/Silver/Crystal games, but adds a Final Fantasy style battle system and an interesting story featuring god-like entities called hypervisors. There’s also a host of other nice additions to the Pokémon formula, such as pooled PP, unlimited movesets, crafting, achievements and corrupted Pokémon. It’s a great game, with an excellent blend of game mechanics and a fitting tribute to the early Pokémon games.

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.
