Genre: Turn-based tactics | Steam-Release: 22. August 2024 | Preis: 20 Euro
How much cooler would special forces be if they were made up of magicians? Tactical Breach Wizards explores this question. You send your SWAT pointy hats through a series of missions and use different magic skills.
In the turn-based battles, you use the skills to enchant enemies or catapult them out of windows. There is also a story about a conspiracy. Oh yes, and Tactical Breach Wizards really enchants Steam users.

Genre: Real-time strategy | Steam-Release: 26. August 2024 | Preis: 20 Euro
Behind 9-Bit Armies: A Bit Too Far is none other than the developer Petroglyph, who is also responsible for the highly acclaimed remaster of Command & Conquer.
So you can expect a fairly old-school real-time strategy game from 9-Bit Armies. This also applies to the graphic style, which relies on angular voxels. You can expect a campaign with around 30 missions and an online multiplayer.

The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria

Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria – test video for the dwarf survival game
Genre: Survival Adventure | Steam-Release: 27. August 2024 | Preis: 25 Euro
It’s actually amazing that it took so long for someone to adapt The Lord of the Rings into a survival game. When you return to Moria, you slip into the shoes of dwarves who once again dig too deep and too greedily. And the game is now also available on Steam.
You make tools and weapons, build your own base and go on exploration tours through the vaults of Moria, which are of course teeming with nasty orcs and other monsters. You can find out more in our test video above or in the detailed test article on The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria.

Gundam Breaker 4
Genre: Action | Steam-Release: 29. August 2024 | Preis: 60 Euro
No, there are no armed dams breaking here – it is about flying fighting robots that became known through the Japanese Bandai brand Gundam. As a publisher, Bandai Namco has now released Gundam Breaker 4 out, hence the stupid pun.
Here you build your own powerful suit and use it to beat up loads of enemies, master the action-packed combat system and hopefully have fun. In our editorial office, Dimi is a real Gundam fan who will be happy to introduce you to the fascination.
Consent on Steam: 79 percent of over 700 reviewers say it’s positive.
Peglin
Genre: Pachinko-Roguelike | Steam-Release: 27. August 2024 | Preis: 20 Euro
Pachinko is not particularly popular here in the West, but perhaps that will change a little thanks to PeglinThe roguelike is reminiscent of Slay the Spire, except that you control all attacks by throwing balls in the arcade machine.
You determine the direction in which a ball is thrown and it then bounces around, triggering certain triggers. The better you throw, the more damage you deal.
Consent on Steam: 81 percent of over 10,000 reviewers say it’s positive.
Read something curious? Recently, Valve was alerted by fans that Steam’s deadlock appears to be violating its own guidelines:
