Just released today. Fun little beat em up featuring 4 Divas. Has some really fun animations in the vein of old school beat em ups with silly exaggerated expressions/reactions. Some good replay value with the 4 characters and there a few choices that lead to different stages. Plenty of unlocks like galleries, cheats, jukebox, etc. Despite the "sexual content" user tag I don't see any of that kind of sexual content.

Has a demo.

turn based survival horror with great art

This looks cool as fuck.

This is legit one of the best games ever. For those that haven't played it, it's from the creator of Cave Story and it's arguably a superior game.

Yes, Dark Messiah is probably known. But not known enough. It's in my top 10 favorite games of all time. And no other first-person melee game has come even close to the feel of Dark Messiah:

Re-Volt is the best non-Nintendo Mario Kart. And I argue it's even better than some proper Mario Kart games:

Battle Realms (made by Ed Del Castillo!) was one RTS gem that flew under the radar back then (probably because of the setting). But it still holds up well:

Maybe not unknown, but forgotten. Easily the second-best game Monolith Productions (RIP) have ever done. And easily better than the modern Tron movies (Legacy & Ares). And it still holds up today.

What I love about Steam is that you keep discovering hidden gems. Just here in this thread, I added two more games to my wishlist. People are always quick to claim that 99% of Steam is trash. But even if that were true, that 1% would still be better than most play it safe AAA games.

 

[StueyDuck]

I don't know if it's hidden, but Star of providence has eaten most my free time this end of year

 

[deriks]

Discovered this yeah, and it is my GOTY. Simple and addictive game that forces your management thinking. Also, it's so cute

Basically 2D classic Resident Evil. Very well made with a good atmosphere.

A short shoot em up that focuses on spectacle more than anything else. An excellent game to play when you are bored and want something short (~1 hour long) and action packed.

An adrenaline inducing FPS with a semi open map, the movement in this game is insane.

I don't even know how to describe this one. It's basically a Source mod on crack. An interesting experience for sure.

Added, looks fun

I made a LTTP thread a few months back about Xanadu Next, it's truly a gem of a game.

Follow the guide in there to get proper anti aliasing and anisotropic filtering, the options provided by the game do not work well.

Astebreed is also made by Edelweiss, same developer as Ether Vapor. Their newest game is also good, but it's famous lol

+1 for Winterbottom. Great gem, exactly what 10 bucks or below games should be.

For the twinstick shooter fans. Easily competing with any Geometry Wars.

Second one never got finished since the single dev passed away. He made both forever free before.

Not sure if it is actually available here, it got removed from Steam many years ago since I think the dev and publisher did not continue their partnership or something. I loved this game.

For the love of christ more people need to play this.

Its essentially the best classic Zelda game ever created. The fact it never reaches the heights far lesser games have in the indie space pisses me off to this day.

Really its that good.

 

[Holammer]

My personal GOTY game of 2024. Early Access game by a solo dev doing code/art/music by himself. Imagine WoW & Warframe having a bastard child, that's the gameplay.
Game is being supported with new areas/level caps/prestige classes and loot.

A minor hit released just recently. Pretty addictive gameplay loop taking the worst mechanics from F2P games, but in a good way. Not overstaying its welcome and you'll be done in 6-10h.

Twinstick/Bullet hell metroidvania fusion. Tried it because of a recommendation in a thread similar to this and it's great.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Everything by THE BROTHERHOOD in fact.

This game is straight up fantastic at what it does.

This game has one of my weirdest favorite characters in gaming of the past few years. A toy bear that somehow comes off as more affecting and human as most AAAAA voice acting jobs.

If you like Point & Clicks and Horror, you have to play this imo.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

If you've ever thought hey, I want to play King's Field with a more robust combat system...but in medieval Japan...but in Silent Hill...and it bitch slaps me around until I cry...

Seriously, one of my favorite games of the year. It has a steep-ass learning curve but it's well worth it. Like some crazy lost PS1 classic we'd cream our oants over had it come out in 1998.

 

[ScorpionX]

Not sure if this is a hidden gem but if time loop is up your alley then it's fantastic.

Let Them Come: Onslaught

Survivors/Roguelike with an incredible synthwave musical OST by Cartridge 87

Included my Steam review here. Trust me, get this game.

Steam Community :: Kaisersoze :: Review for Let Them Come Onslaught

Hi I'm Kaisersoze and I'm a rogue-like/survivors game addict. From Vampire Survivors to Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, I have a ton of these games in my regular play list. My profile will reveal this. I can safely say that "Let Them Come: Onslaught" is one of the best ever survivor/rogue-like...

funny and entertaining as hell, short-ish with a good flow

 

[ReyBrujo]

Finished it this year, loved it, it's a nice take on the series, however I wish they had used Kiseki no Umi somewhere.

 

[Ishma3L]

(Also on GOG)

If you know, you know.

They could have skipped the polarize gimmick IMO. Great game nevertheless
Classic song, an instrumental version would have been great. But being Japanese? There's probably a tricky rights situation behind it.

 

[Ishma3L]

Old but gold

Overload is so good. It's the Descent sequel nobody knows exists. Was even developed by members of the original Interplay team.

Yeah, the lack of Kiseki no Umi is also my only real gripe with it.

I am usually not a big fan of Metroidvanias. But of the few that I like, I like them a lot. Of course Symphony of the Night is among those titles. Or Super Metroid. And Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth is also among those titles.

 

[PlayStaytion]

Atari classics, Xbox indie games, Smaller titles that looks AAA but they're not actually like gone home, What Remains of Edith Finch, Comic Jumper "a 360 game". There're titles that speaks the language of video games but not every game like that.

 

[meech]

Great game for Sci Fi Fans. Graphics are decent too.

 

[asdasdasdbb]

Any you played this indie gem?

 

[NeverYouMind]

The recently released Neon Inferno run n' gun and older Dad Quest action platformer come to mind. Also, the original release (big update added a lot of bloat but original is still playable) of Steel Sword Story metroidvania.
