Yes, Mask of Fury is just Gang Beasts with weapons and more ‘buff’ rag-dolls, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t incredibly fun to play (especially with a few friends). Mask of Fury Mask of Fury is one of the most chaotic-fun experiences you’ll find in Next Fest. If you’re looking for a new medieval simulation type game, with some strategy elements and a variety of ways to play – Fabledom is the game for you. Throughout your time ruling, you’ll explore a fairytale world filled with giants, witches, flying pigs and hidden secrets, alongside building a flourishing economy, romancing potential advantageous members of neighbouring kingdoms and defending your Kingdom against vile minions or hostile armies that have grown jealous of your immense wealth.

It’s essentially a medieval town-management game, but offers some really great features around interactions with other kingdoms that I feel is a really unique feature in this genre of game. Fabledom Choose your champion, assemble your town watch and defend your Kingdom against vile neighbors and minions in Fabledom.įabeldom feels like it was designed directly for someone like me, in the best kind of way. Set in a world where Fairytales have become reality, you’ll grow your village spectate your citizens’ lives and watch the rise and fall of your relationships with the neighbouring kingdoms. One image alone doesn’t do the game justice, and it’s a game that really needs to be experienced rather than just seen, so check it out while you still can. There’s also a really unique emphasis on companion based gameplay, without a really gripping story that I can’t wait to experience throughout its entirety. Throughout the game, you’ll explore your way through multiple puzzles and diverse challenges throughout some gorgeously designed locations. This is a story about a vibrant, beautiful planet and the journey to keep it that way. Set on a planet that used to be a paradise of undisturbed balance between humans, nature and animals, which now has transformed into something else entirely, due to the arrival of a faceless army.

Planet of Lana is absolutely beautiful, and I think is the epitome of what Next Fest has to showcase to the wider gaming community. Planet of Lana Planet of Lana is officially one of my most anticipated games for the remainder of the year. Hype, anticipation (and for myself, a separate bank account for the near dozen Indies I’ve had to Wishlist) have well and truly set in, so I thought I’d share a list of some of my favourites that you either need to try out before Next Fest ends, or get onto your wish-lists as soon as possible. Steam Next Fest has already consumed the entirety of my week with an endless serving of incredible indie demos to try out prior to their slated releases.
