6. Artifact Seeker - Game Infinite Next Fest Gameplay on Gi Plays
We play this exciting Survivors-like during the Steam Next Fest, and it quickly shot up to be one of our favorites. When this fully releases, we can easily see it being a popular entry in this emerging and popular sub-genre.
In "Artifact Seeker," players navigate a 3D world overrun by monsters. Through strategic survival tactics and combat, they scavenge for ancient artifacts while unraveling the mysteries of their existence. With its immersive 3D experience and relentless gameplay, "Artifact Seeker" offers a thrilling journey through darkness and danger.
7. Echo Point Nova - Game Infinite Next Fest Gameplay on Gi Plays
We absolutely loved our time trying out Echo Point Nova during the latest Steam next Fest, a fast paced FPS with movement as a focus. It is made by the developers of Severed Steel, a game to which we also absolutely loved putting it on our end of year top 10 lists. This game continues to evolve movement in a FPS, giving us a "indie Titanfall". Check this one out!
8. Lysfanga: The Timeshift Warrior- Game Infinite Next Fest Gameplay on Gi Plays
I wasn't initially sure if Lysfanga should be on this list, as I wasn't sure if it was technically an "indie game" I first discovered this fantastic time travel puzzle based combat game during the Steam Next Fest pre-release, and picked it up shortly after. This game is fantastic. This game falls in that grey area of smaller games that are technically independent but have larger publishers behind them, in this case publishing label Spotlight by Quantic Dream has Sand Door Studios latest game. It reminds me a bit of EA's Originals program.
This game sucked me in with its time travel mechanic that has the player use previous run clones of themselves to work together to clear a field of enemies. I would love to see more games play on this copy, and I just love the concept.
9. Xeno Runners
Players take flight in a mesmerizing indie game experience Xeno Runners that combines the thrill of flying with the adrenaline rush of skydiving. Players soar through the clouds, perform daring aerial maneuvers, and embark on exhilarating skydiving challenges. We tried Xeno Runners during Steam Next Fest, and definitely want to see where this game goes.
