In BOTSU, you suit up as customizable android athletes thrown into three wildly unpredictable, physics-heavy battlesports. Acrobatics meet combat as these bots sprint, flip, breakdance, climb, and brawl their way through bizarre arenas. Whether online or in local split-screen, up to eight players can compete, with team matchups supporting four-on-four chaos—or just a living room full of friends yelling at the screen.

The game offers three distinct modes to shake things up. Box-Ball mashes together football, basketball, and a pinch of magical mayhem, with an explosive ball that adds extra tension to each match. Stockpile is all about stealing resources from rival teams in a frantic scramble for control. And Sumo Survival turns the floor to lava as players wrestle to be the last bot standing in a fiery pit of pandemonium.

In Shroom and Gloom, you play as a fungal forager diving into creepy, hand-drawn dungeons, armed with two card decks to outwit and outfight your foes. Your combat deck drives fast-paced battles, letting you hack, slash, or fry enemies with powerful card-based attacks. The explore deck shapes your path through the dungeon, helping you transform cards, unlock weapons, and pick up new skills.

Each trip through the dungeons throws up new challenges. The demo’s 26 unique tunnels show off the game’s slick combat, humor, and striking art style, echoing vibes from Inscryption and Slay the Spire. Early Access is expected to last about a year, with the hopes of getting the community feedback to add new cards, dungeons, and mechanics, with hints of multiplayer features teased on their Discord.

In Mycopunk, you join the New Atlas Hazard Crew, a scrappy team of robot rejects hired by the galactic megacorporation SAXON for a high-risk job. Tasked with tackling a planet-wide fungal disaster, the crew is the cheapest option for a mission that could be their last shot at glory or a one-way trip to the scrap heap. Across dangerous planet-side missions, you will fight to contain the threat while questioning whether it’s a natural disaster or something more sinister.

The game’s combat revolves around an arsenal of futuristic weapons and power tools, customizable through a unique grid-based upgrade system that lets you craft absurdly powerful sci-fi super-weapons. Enemies weaponize the planet’s technology and can reassemble dropped parts, making every fight dynamic and unpredictable. You must work together, combining upgraded abilities and tailored weapons to create synergistic builds that turn rickety robots into a formidable force.

Between missions, you can unwind in an orbital dropship, a hub filled with toys, games, and opportunities to learn more about the galaxy. Here, you can chat with Roachard Cox, an insectoid SAXON veteran, adding humor and lore to the experience.

The story follows Yu, a martial arts master embarking on a grand journey to free the emperor from the influence of the evil admiral. The game’s core mechanic is “Foresight”, a meditative technique that allows Yu to visualize the battle before it happens. This ability lets him replay fights endlessly to discover the perfect sequence of movements that will secure victory.

Forestrike embraces a roguelike design, generating unique encounters that require constant adaptation and improvisation. While Foresight allows for experimentation without consequences, real combat demands precision and strategic thinking. Each victory brings new challenges, and Yu must continuously evolve to survive.
