Steam Next Fest

Holy shit NineSols is fucking fantastic. The combat system is great and so is the whole story/aesthetic. What are some other good games to check out?

are the bosses in that good

First one is pretty good, I guess you could say it's memorization but the parry into bomb thing they've got going is really satisfying to pull off. Plus there's no dark souls stamina bullshit that like 90% of new games have.

>The Last Worker
Perhaps a bit on the easy side and a short demo, I like the story that it gives me a taste of.
>Kredolis
Also super fucking short, I like the idea, dislike how meh the movement feels, puzzles (what few were there) are fine.
>Escape Academy
Also short, but for this kind of game, that's fine. What's there is fucking fantastic.
>Hook 2
Incredibly short, only like 5 levels, but it gets the point across very nicely. I liked the first game, I'll like the second one even if I'll finish it in like 2 hours max.
>Backfirewall
The humor in this game is a bit forced, but I liked it regardless. I'm definitely keeping an eye on it.
Now to spin the wheel again.

>hard west 2

>Curse of the Sea Rats
>Game looks good but controls like shit
>Worst unchangeable default control scheme for a 2d action game I've ever seen
shame

Best artshit games?

Ninesols

>Gacha Garden
You start off with a blank square of tiles, and can click little flames that randomly spawn on it to get coins, which you can then drop into a cauldron to get random items (depending on coin type) which you can use to decorate. You can also get various types of tiles, allowing you to expand your build area, and anything you don't like can be put back into the pot in return for one coin of a lower tier. You can also get altars that you can put other pieces of furniture on in order to increase their drop rate, and you can use multiple of them at the same time to make the benefit bigger, so it's fairly easy to hunt for more of a specific item if you already have a few.
It wasn't bad, but the little flames spawn pretty regularly so there's no waiting element, nor anything to do while waiting, so the core gameplay loop is basically just chucking either coins or furniture into the pot. I played it for 3.6 hours and I wouldn't even say I really had fun, rather I was compelled by autism to keep playing in order to finish building what I'd envisioned.
It's a good time-waster, and I might get it if it was a mobile game, but otherwise I personally can't justify spending any more time in it.

>Sokochess
Sokoban game where you can only push things by hitting them with your chess pieces, and your movement is restricted both based on the pieces available to you in the level and the ability of the enemy pieces to capture yours if you move into certain positions. Interesting concept, challenging puzzles, I liked it.
Would recommend.

>Necrosmith
Borderline autobattler. Your minions attack constantly and auto-path toward the nearest resource capture/enemy/enemy lair, enemies ignore your minions entirely from a movement perspective and instead beeline straight for your tower while damaging any minions who throw themselves into the crowd (because there's no AI whatsoever, all minions will run directly into the enemy groups, even ranged minions.) The most powerful minion design is the slowest one possible equipped with two crossbows, which do decent damage and are piercing, meaning they can kill any group they see before they collide with it.
You have the option to control one minion, but only its movement. It still does the "constantly attack in the direction of nearest enemy" thing.
There's some minion customization with the parts system, but most body parts are just different places on the scale of "more health/armor and slower" vs "less health/armor but faster." After discovering that crossbows were by far the most effective weapon, minion part choice really only came into play when trying to build the fastest minion possible to control it and use it as a scout.
I did kind of enjoy it overall, but the combat is not deep, which makes it unfulfilling and easy to cheese.
Probably wouldn't recommend.
