Bringing together the worlds of twin-stick arcade shooters with crafting and exploration, Veridian Expanse is another indie game with a demo worth a go.
Sektori blasted onto Steam recently and I've been absolutely loving it, this is easily one of the best modern twin-stick shooters and fantastic to play.
Inspired by drawn-on-film animation of the 1930s, ZOE Begone! masterfully blends together a bullet hell with a run and gun shooter and you need to check it out.
A sanity-as-a-resource metroidvania they're calling a horrorvania, Yesterdreamt seems interesting and now it has a Native Linux demo with Steam Deck support.
Bullet Heavens are all the rage right now from Vampire Survivors to Brotato and everything in between them, so Valve launched have a little mini festival to celebrate them all.
Need some fresh twin-stick shooting fun? Hotloop looks like a nice one, with an interesting gravity mechanic to throw your ship around using gravity from various planets.
With the source code available along with the game, Yawnoc is a chaotic top-down shooter rogue-lite inspired by Conway's Game of Life and other cellular automata that's out now.
NIMRODS: GunCraft Survivor on the surface may look just like yet another survivor-like, but it has captured my total attention in a way not many have been able to. It's just thoroughly great.
Well, SoulGame Studio certainly have my attention for their effort on getting Minishoot' Adventures up to Steam Deck Verified. Plus, the game looks really entertaining.
