Genre: Real-time tactics | Steam-Release: 2. September 2024 | Preis: 30 Euro
This insider tip looks like Commandos or Desperados, and really wants to play like one. This means that you mostly sneak through the levels, eliminate opponents unseen and silently and thus stay under the radar. They help with planning typical cone of vision

Genre: Economic Sim | Steam-Release: 6. November 2024 | Preis: 8 Euro
The world is at the end, but it would be laughable if there wasn’t still profit to be maximized somewhere. In Dustland Delivery you scour the post-apocalypse for all kinds of stuff that you can sell for profit in settlements.
To enable a continuous flow of money, you also create trade routes for your practical truck, which you can upgrade and expand. You follow a plot and get to know all sorts of ragged characters.

Apropos: Our author Mario has found an economic simulation that really hurts.
Webfishing

Magicraft
Genre: Action-Roguelike | Steam-Release: 2. November 2024 | Preis: 16 Euro
Have we ever explained to you the definition of roguelike? If you try something again and again and hope that something will change this time – that’s roguelike. Magiccraft is one of them.
You and your character take trips to a world haunted by ancient gods. Here you have to skillfully dodge attacks and use magic spells to defeat a series of enemies until you inevitably die at some point. Between rounds you learn new magic and hope that you will survive the madness – sorry, the roguelike – better in the next run. A Steam demo helps you form a non-binding opinion.

Backyard Baseball 97
Genre: Sports game | Steam-Release: 10 October 2024 | Preis: 10 Euro
Some people on this side of the pond have also had it Backyard Baseball heard. Maybe the graphic style reminds you a bit of the comic Charlie Brown. But at its core is a pretty classic sports game. The title was recently re-released on Steam.
You and your self-created team compete against computer-controlled opponents in casual matches or entire simulated seasons. The game simplifies the rules a bit, but wants the realism and statistics big
In no way inferior to sports games.
