It’s about time we bring you 5 Steam games coming in April 2023 that are likely to be hits.
It’s a real fair sometimes on Steam when it comes to releases. And alongside the big AAAs of the moment like the recent port of The last of us, Valve’s platform is also an opportunity to discover less ambitious games worth keeping an eye on. Either thanks to their specific mechanics or simply because of the topic they address. Based on that premise, here are 5 games to watch closely on Steam in April 2023.
Survival: Fountain of Youth, a conquistador survival game
Survival: Fountain of Youth follows the long tradition of survival games in the image of a sons of the forest but wants to be particularly innovative in its context and history. In fact, in it you play as a member of the crew of Juan Ponce de León, the famous conquistador who undertook the quest for the Fountain of Youth. After a shipwreck, you must survive on a deserted island in the Bahamas archipelago. Obviously, for this you need to build a shelter, craft tools, or even defend yourself against predators. The goal is to go in search of his companions in misfortune and to unravel the mysteries of an ancient civilization.
In particular, the title offers more than 30 different types of hunting, each with a unique environment and behaviors. What’s more Survival: Fountain of Youth promises to explore up to 15 unique islands in an attempt to unravel the mystery of the Fountain of Youth. The title will be available in Early Access on April 19, 2023 on Steam.
Bramble: The Mountain King, a horror adventure game set in Scandinavian folklore
Two rooms, two atmospheres. This time we are interested in a horror adventure game: Bramble: The Mountain King. Taking place in the heart of Scandinavia, this one immerses you in Nordic folklore to bring out the most terrifying. You play as Olle, a little boy trying to save his sister from the clutches of a terrible troll. And so much to say that we’re a far cry from Disney’s adorable creatures here. The game is populated by monsters of all sizes, all out to get you. Special mention goes to the creepy woman emerging from the water in the trailer below.
Magical forests, abandoned huts in the forest, lonely gatherings… The game promises to be very difficult for lovers of exploration and for those who want to scare themselves with horrors different from what we’ve seen so far. Here we are far from one resident Evil or one Empty room. We’re in a more poetic and dreamlike game and really very much rooted in Icelandic history. The game will be available in Early Access April 27, 2023 on Steam.
Ash of Gods: The Way, a cute tactical mix in the Norse universe
We stay in the Norse universe, but this time we leave horror and adventure for strategy and tactics Ash of Gods: The WaySequel to the game from 2018. You play as Finn (nothing to do with war of stars) a young man whose only hope of stopping a neighboring nation from attacking his home is to use a strange deck of cards. With a system of warrior decks and many tactical options, the game also takes up the basics of this type of leisure activity.
As you can see in the trailer below, Ash of Gods: The Way also borrows from the game of chess with a system of boxes to respect during the fight. We advance our men like chess pieces and every move must be carefully considered. The icing on the cake is also artistically very beautiful with hand-drawn graphics. The game is scheduled April 27, 2023 in the final version on Steam.
Live a life beautiful J-RPG
Change of scenery and this time we focus on live one lifethe J-RPG returns from the dead (Super Famicom to be precise) to land on Steam with gorgeous 2D HD graphics. Remake of the original, the title is the opportunity to lead 7 heroes and cross the ages. Prehistory, Imperial China, Far West, Late Edo Era, Present, Near Future and Distant Future. In addition to HD graphics, this new edition of live one life
This is bound to be the most important aspect of the game for a remake, but it has to be admitted. The game is quite lush and you just have to admire the video below to convince yourself. There is not only final fantasy in life and live one life deserves a little love. The game will also be available on April 27, 2023 on Steam.
Pan’orama, the Steam chill game of the month to relax
Finally, we end our selection with panorama, the ultimate chill game. The title is described by its creators as a puzzle game where you have to place squares and tiles to create panoramas full of softness and beauty. More specifically, your goal is to score as many points as possible by connecting pieces of land to create a larger environment. You earn points by placing the colored tiles to create ever-changing biomes. At the very end we have the impression of having created a canvas. We find a little the charm of Monument Valley.
Filling lakes, building forests and mountains, building a village… The game wants to leave a lot to your imagination and your imagination is really at the heart of the gameplay. The game also features different biomes to take your mind on a journey. This fun little game will also be available on April 27, 2023 on Steam.
