Category: Early Access

OBEY is one of the more unique games I have been sent to take a look at recently, and it really does look like a lot of fun.

Last week saw the release of The Mims: Beginning, a god game with strategy elements, on Steam. It's an early access title that's been in development for a while and was successfully funded by an Indiegogo campaign.

This is a game that flew under the radar a little bit since its Linux launch a couple of months ago. Son of Nor is an action adventure title set amidst rolling dunes, temples and oases. Challenging collectibles, environmental puzzles and four player coop are just some of the game's highlights.

Ride your music. Use your own music to create your own experience on a roller-coaster-like track. The shape, the speed, and the mood of each ride is determined by the song you choose. We take a look at the new Linux release.

Satellite Reign had us all very excited, and somehow we missed the bloody release! Satellite Reign officially launched into early access last month, and early reviews are "Very Positive".

Chaos Reborn is the brand new game from Julian Gollop, the designer of the original, award-winning XCOM (A game I am a massive fanboy of).

A little late on this, apologies. Distance the excellent looking and well reviewed survival racer is now available for anyone to try out on Steam.

One of my favourite tactical FPS games on Linux just released an update that adds the second campaign map to the game, along with some gameplay fixes.

Hearthlands is the fantastic looking city builder in early access that we took a look at recently, and it is now on Steam.

The full game will be available as an offline DRM free version next summer, but the developer, Maschinen-Mensch, has released an alpha to gather player feedback to help balance procedural aspects of the game.

Reassembly has just released the Linux version of their spaceship building and exploration game. We have tested it out and found it to be one of the most fun 2D space games around.

The Deer God has arrived on Linux, and it's in the early access section. With that out of the way, the game does look stunning.

Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues aims to be a rather massive RPG. I say it aims to be as it's currently in early access, and it has a long way to, but it looks great already.

Voice of Pripyat is a multiplayer first person shooter that has popped up on Steam thanks to Greenlight, it looks like it could be interesting too in a stupidly crap way.

Soul Axiom is a fantastic looking mix of a sci-fi story, action, and adventure wrapped up in a neat early access package.

Massive Chalice has been available to Linux backers of the Kickstarter campaign since 1st November. This week it was released in Steam Early Access, and judging by initial impressions it looks like a potential hit for Double Fine.

Feeling rebellious? Want to make some quick virtual fake money? Well, I might just have a game for you. Let's see how masterful our heists are going to be in The Masterplan.

BossConstructor is an indie game I've been waiting on for quite a while, and the Early Access release is upon us. Read on for some thoughts on this epic space game

Clockwork Empires is the latest game from the developers behind Dungeons of Dredmor. It looks great and they are working on the Linux & Mac versions right now.

I talk a lot about Early Access, because the majority of games sent to us are on there. The games there range from awesome to awful, and Merchants of Kaidan has a bit of both.
