1. 《Chang'an: Dance of Stone》
A dark narrative roguelike game set in the Tang Dynasty, centered around the revenge of a "beautiful, strong, and tragic" princess, offering a dual experience of stunning audio-visuals and strategic depth. Players will take on the role of the poisoned princess of the Shi Kingdom, using an ancient mirror to unlock the power of reincarnation and rewrite their fate on the path of vengeance.
The game is based on the exquisite aesthetics of the Tang Dynasty, with every detail, from the porcelain texture UI, meticulously designed costumes and dialogue, to the Tang-style scene design, exuding historical charm; the combat system combines the innovative mechanism of "three souls and seven spirits," allowing players to freely match skills to build various playstyles, gradually unlocking powerful growth through reincarnation; the plot integrates political intrigue and the suffering of the common people, with a crazy narrative intertwined with historical adaptation,谱写暗黑版“公主复仇爽文”。操作上强调快节奏体验，配合鼓点音效与畅快打击感，新手友好易上手。目前，demo内容丰富，包含新手关卡及3个章节，游玩时长超过20小时，诚意满满，堪称本次新品节国风佳作。
2.《Private Military Manager: Tactical Auto Battle》
A deep simulation management game, where the core gameplay revolves around the player acting as the CEO of a private military company, responsible for managing and dispatching employees in a tense and challenging virtual war environment. In this game world, the player is not only a business decision-maker but also a strategist, needing to carefully plan every step of the company's development.
In the game, the primary responsibility is to manage and train an efficient team of soldiers. These soldiers will carry out various high-risk missions, including but not limited to blowing up enemy factories and infiltrating behind enemy lines for special missions. To successfully complete these tasks, players need to continuously train the soldiers, enhance their combat skills, and closely monitor the team members' moods and health, as these factors directly affect their combat performance.
It also offers rich character customization options, allowing players to choose suitable weapon types and skill combinations for the soldiers based on mission requirements and to develop detailed strategic plans. In addition to strategic decision-making, the game also incorporates real-time operational elements, requiring players to flexibly adjust tactics and reasonably allocate resources during missions to cope with the ever-changing battlefield environment.
3.《Relic Keeper》
A pixel art tower defense game with a cute art style, where players need to summon a variety of defensive towers and cast powerful spells, strategically placing them to fend off enemy attacks. This adventure is filled with epic battles and a sense of duty, along with a rich storyline and character interactions.
4.《Dune: Awakening》（Dune: Awakening）
This is a sci-fi style open-world multiplayer online game that combines survival challenges, exploration, resource competition, political warfare, and character development. You can choose to develop your character through paths such as Swordsmen, Soldiers, Crystal Calculators, Planetologists, and Bene Gesserit. At its core, it's still about survival and building, but it integrates large-scale multiplayer gameplay, supporting hundreds of players online simultaneously, and the visuals are indeed beautiful, as can be seen from the images.
And this game is set to officially launch on May 20th, with an expected price of $50. If you're interested, you can take advantage of this opportunity to get a sneak peek!
5.《Tempest Rising》
An RTS (Real-Time Strategy) game, claiming to be the spiritual successor to Command & Conquer and Red Alert. The actual game content is not extensive yet, currently featuring three different factions, each with unique economic systems and development paths, 211 campaign missions, and a single-player campaign. It supports online player-vs-player battles and has Chinese language support. The game is set to release on April 25th, priced at $40, and you can take advantage of the current demo to experience it early.
6.《Secret Realm Alliance》
A multiplayer online dungeon adventure RPG with maze exploration elements. There are six classes at the start, directly replicating the classic tank, DPS, and healer roles. Melee DPS characters have three movement abilities, and healers come with instant area healing. You can jump straight into dungeons without going through tedious storylines, keeping only the most enjoyable parts, making it perfect for casual players. If you like World of Warcraft-style games, you should definitely try this one.
7.《Solarpunk》（Solarpunk）
A 3D survival and building game where you can explore the world in airships, with a nice atmosphere, supporting up to four players online, and available in Chinese. The game has a large number of furniture and building components, and the construction process is smooth and easy, with adjustable heights, making it very comfortable. If you enjoy building games, give this a try.
8.《PUBG: BLINDSPOT》（PUBG: BLINDSPOT）
A spin-off of PUBG, this is a top-down 5v5 tactical shooter. Unlike traditional shooting games, this game de-emphasizes marksmanship and instead focuses on team tactics and information warfare. Players need to share real-time vision, destroy penetrable cover, and deploy tactical items like barbed wire to gain offensive and defensive advantages in a dynamically changing top-down battlefield.
The game draws heavily from the core mechanics of Rainbow Six, including destructible environmental structures (like vaulting over low walls and reinforcing metal covers) and operator-specific skill systems (such as breaching shotguns and suppressive fire machine guns). Each battle requires precise judgment of footsteps, gun angles, and enemy positions. The fast-paced offense-defense transitions and strategic gameplay offer a high-intensity, brain-burning experience. The demo is now available for download, and it's recommended to try it with a team to experience the synergy of tactical cooperation.
9.《Solasta 2》
A turn-based tactical CRPG based on D&D 5.1 rules, continuing the fantasy world of the predecessor "Solasta: Crown of the Magister." The story takes place decades after the original. Players will form a four-person adventuring party to explore the hidden secrets of a family legacy and confront the corrupt threat from the mysterious force Shadwyn, resolving crises through strategic decisions and battles. Compared to the previous work, both the graphics and gameplay have been improved. The visuals are almost like a cinematic experience.
The combat system combines three-dimensional environments (climbing, jumping, flying) with dice-based determination mechanisms. Environmental destruction, dynamic terrain, and multi-dimensional movement (such as climbing high walls) add a three-dimensional strategic dimension to the battles. Both the gameplay and visual quality are top-notch.
10.《Monster Train 2》（Monster Train 2）
Made by the same team as the first game, the flavor remains the same, though the additional content isn't too much. If you haven't played the first one, you can go straight to the second. However, Monster Train 1 is on sale at a historic low of $8.8, which is quite tempting. It can be considered a satisfying card game with increased numbers and powerful buffs, though the opponents are equally terrifying.
11.《Village & Dungeon》
A hardcore roguelike card game where players explore randomly generated dungeons, collect five types of elemental cards, and build unique decks for turn-based battles. The game emphasizes strategy, with skill cooldowns and random events adding to the challenge. The demo offers a substantial amount of content, providing 2-3 hours of gameplay. Notably, it is an indie game with powerful late-game stats.
12.《Beholder: The Train Conductor》
A spin-off of the well-known IP "Beholder," where players take on the role of a train conductor, maintaining order in the carriages through reporting, intimidation, and searches. The game continues the series' pixel art style and moral choice gameplay, with the demo already available and the full version expected to be released within the year.
13.《Roots of Corruption》
A Cthulhu-themed strategy card game where players take on the role of a malevolent tree deity, building card decks and root networks to absorb resources and survive. The game combines strategy and management elements, with the demo offering the first chapter of content.
14.《Bug Habitat》
A relaxing idle game where players can raise bugs and create unique ecosystems. The game has a slow pace, suitable for those who enjoy management and casual breeding games.
