The team behind the popular Backpack Hero, Jaspel, have revealed their new game Moon Watch. Combining together elements of recent popular games like Vampire Survivors for the basic idea, but blending in deck-building too with the ability to stop time.

Pest Apocalypse continues looking great. One I highlighted before and doing so again now due to a brand new demo, bringing vehicular action to the survivor-like bullet hell genre.

Coming with Native Linux support on September 30th is The Throne, a 2.5D styled metroidvania from BeByte.

Set during the Napoleonic Era and WW1, Holdfast: Nations At War blends together both a third and first-person shooter. And, after a bunch of upgrades, it's now Steam Deck Verified too.

Last Epoch from Eleventh Hour Games is set for a big v1.1 update with The Imperial Uprising event arriving on September 19th. This will also bump it up to Steam Deck Verified.

There's a whole lot of Vampire Survivor-likes and bullet hell / bullet heaven mixtures around, but not many stick you directly in the driver's seat like Earl vs. the Mutants.
