Five new Steam Games:
Midnight Fight Express
Steam page(opens in new tab)
Release: April 24
Developer: Jacob Dzwinel
Launch price: $20 | £16 | AU$29.95
Midnight Fight Express is a beat ’em up crime epic about Babyface, a repentant criminal whose life is upended by a drone warning of a citywide tragedy. Babyface has till daybreak to stop rogues from taking over the city. This entails hitting rogues with his fists, axe, knife, or environmental items. All of Babyface’s powers are upgradable, so you may evolve your combat style. There are ability trees, cosmetic customization, and an online scoreboard. This seems fun if you enjoy combinations, cartoon brutality, and crimefighting.
Islets
Steam page
Release: April 24
Developer: Kyle Thompson
Launch price: $20 | £15.49 | AU$28.95
Islets is a Ghibli-inspired Metroidvania like Greak: Memories of Azur. Iko must explore floating islands via airship and complete their dungeons to unify them. Once vanquished, they’ll unite, a unique twist on the Metroidvania map format. It’s quite standard, with upgrades, enemies, and boss fights. Islets is characterised as “surprisingly wholesome” on Steam, and it seems like a “warm blanket” kind of game.
Hot Lap League
Steam page
Release: April 24
Developer: Ultimate Studio
Launch price: $9.89 | £7.51 | AU$14.19
“Good game, but why play this when I can play Trackmania?” asks one Steam reviewer of Hot Lap League. Because some folks can’t get enough of Trackmania. If you adore arcade racers with enormous leaps and gravity-defying loops, this is the greatest you’ll find this side of a new Trackmania. There are over 150 courses, plenty of customisation, global leaderboards, and daily challenges.
BROK the InvestiGator
Steam page
Release: April 27
Developer: Cowcat
Launch price: $18 | £16.19 | AU$26.05
The Steam website advertises BROK: The InvestiGator as a “punch and click” adventure. Brok is an alligator seeking the truth about his wife’s demise. There’s a mode for playing Brok like a point-and-click adventure, but the main novelty is being able to pound problems to death, rather than solve them. This fully-voiced 20-hour journey has numerous endings.
Tuin
Steam page
Release: April 26
Developer: Sokpop
Launch price: $5 | £4 | AU$7.50
New micro-games Sokpop is an idle game about farming. You purchase a plot, pick crops, install agricultural equipment, then play another game or watch YouTube videos. Farming isn’t as straightforward as developing a cookie empire, but you can automate it and acquire animal friends to wander your field. As always, Sokpop’s painting style is gorgeously simple.
