Ready to take on the monumental task of being the manager of a band destined for…wait, where’d they all go? They were supposed to meet me here at 9 AM! Oh no, they’re probably down at the bar again. What have I gotten myself into… Well, welcome to ROCKBEASTS, and your chance to help bring a rowdy, ragtag group of misfit bandmates trying to make it big in the world of music in the mid-1990s.

Furry & Animal Steam Game Finds:

These games were found in the New Releases section of Steam this week and will be updated as more come out throughout the week!

The concept of Gold Gold Adventure Gold is an intriguing one. You play as a God-like overseer watching over a growing kingdom meant to do one thing: acquire more and more gold through various means. Whether this is by selling goods, completing dungeon quests, or enticing generous adventurers into your tavern and other market stalls, your omnipotent powers are constantly used to build on, upgrade, and expand your settlement, whilst also making sure it doesn’t fall to the nearly nightly hordes of monsters that try and attack it if you don’t keep them at bay. All the while you’re also joined by a God-beast of your choosing that acts as a “boots on the ground” being that wreaks havoc on enemies, or assists adventurers in their quests. This is still an early access game, so I’m taking that into account in this review. 

Getting lost in a new item-filled, minigame packed, decorating encouraged experience is always exciting. There are visuals to be delighted by, characters to meet, and fresh grass to spread out your newly acquired trinkets on. One such game that just pounced its way onto Steam is Kimono Cats, developed by HumaNature Games and published by RedDeer.Games. In it, you pop prize bubbles with darts that then reward you with coins or a bevy of other fun experiences to take part in, which lead to you and your purrfect partner building a customizable village of fantastically fun decorations that you can show off to other players. I had a great time sitting back and enjoying the cozy, casual nature of the Kimono Cats, and think it’s an overall very well-developed and paced experience.

Space-faring ship warfare with friends is a great hook for a game. Even since videogames have been a thing, people have wanted to fly around outside of our Earthly orbit and take fiery, laser-powered shots at one another. What’s surprising is that it hasn’t been done on the carefully crafted scale that Wildgate does it at. Five ships with 1-4 person crews all spawn into a battlefield filled with hazards, loot-filled PvE opportunities, challenges, and a game-winning artifact to capture. Pilot, protect, and power up your ship’s arsenal all whilst the constant threat of opposing ships sits somewhere within the nearby space you occupy as they all try and reach the same goal: capture the artifact or take out all other ships to win the match. Wildgate, at its core, is a fun & super engaging team-based extraction shooter that facilitates some really epic moments with your buddies, but comes with a pretty steep learning curve to achieve success. After 7 hours in the skies around the Wildgate with various crews, I can say that I did come around to understanding and appreciating the mission Moonshot Games had with Wildgate, but there are some areas where I wish they’d tweak some decisions to better the gameplay experience for all skill levels.

Something’s…off. You arrive in a mysterious world in control of a mysterious “Batter” character. Suddenly, you’re approached by a semi-terrifying cat-like character named “The Judge” and tasked with purifying the world you’ve been thrown into. Oh…okay, you say, unaware of the repercussions of your actions in this virtual world. How often do we go along with whatever a videogame places in front of us? This is the basis for “OFF”, a remastering of the original 2008 classic that inspired many RPG concepts after it, including the incredibly popular “Undertale” game. After playing through it, I can see why the uniquely unsettling nature of this game could be the seed that produced such thought-provoking concepts Undertale tackled later on. I wasn’t sure how I felt about OFF until about 2/3rds of the way through the story, when it all started to tie together more tangibly. After that, it became very clear how this little game became so influential.

Widespread love of quality word games has permeated throughout the history of puzzle pastimes. Whether that’s games like Hangman, Crosswords, Scrabble, Boggle, or more recently Wordle, there are limitless variations on finding joy in parsing together pieces of our collective vocabulary and alphabet to accomplish various goals. Entering the scene is a mix of many of those games in “Birdigo”, created by screenwriter John August (Corpse Bride, Charlie’s Angels) and developer Corey Martin (Bonfire Peaks, Pipe Push Paradise). You’ll guide various birds along their migration paths by crafting words using a custom “deck” of letters that you draw from at the start of every turn. Utilizing a healthy dose of Balatro-like elements to boost your scoring power as you guide your bird along a roguelike migration path to reach their final destination, Birdigo excels at providing a simple game concept with satisfying scoring devices and a “one more round” addictiveness that makes it hard to put down.

MoonSpice Games, the creators of the upcoming collectathon Dillo’s Dilemma, featuring an innovative and inventive armadillo, gave us the opportunity to ask some questions about the new game to their Project Lead, Zakhar Sheyko, and their team. We “rolled” our way through the areas presented in the demo, enjoying Dillo’s fun game design and creative puzzle solving challenges, and are excited to learn more about what went into designing this indie adventure!
