New Games on Steam: Mid May

Updated on March 9, 2021

Welcome to the newest installment of New Games on Steam, a series in which we present you with the best new titles from this popular platform. This week, we will talk about everything from harems full of demon girls to the hardcore post-apocalyptic RPG's. There's a little bit of something for everybody.

Helltaker

Helltaker is a one-of-a-kind adventure/puzzle game that's also completely free on Steam. After dreaming about having a harem of girls, you have a rude awakening and find out that you are in hell. But, why would that stop you to fulfill your newfound ambition? Jump through challenging puzzles and defeat nasty skeletons to win the adoration of female demons. What's not to love?

Delores: A Thimbleweed Park Mini-Adventure

Next, we have the 3rd part of a Thimbleweed Park indie adventure made by the creators of infamous Monkey Island. In it, you will play as Delores, a photographer for Nickel News who decided to take a vacation in her home town. This short humorous adventure expands on the story of the original and offers a lot of interesting references. Delores also has enough charm to entertain on its own, albeit for an evening or two.

Jet- Lancer

Jet-Lancer is an insanely fun aerial shooter in which you battle everything from enemy aviators to giant robots. You are put in the role of Ash Leguinn, a prolific and talented mercenary pilot, who has to defend Root City and save the world. With 30 missions, 11 crazy bosses, and 28 weapons, Jet-Lancer packs a decent amount of features to suit different playstyles. Although controls are responsive, they are certainly not easy to master and will provide you with quite a challenge. All in all, Jet-Lancer can easily entertain you for days.

ATOM RPG: Trudograd

If the worldwide pandemic isn't bad enough for you, you can spice it all up with Trudograd. This is a post-apocalyptic turn-based RPG that continues on the story of previous Atom RPG installments. Stylistically, it reminded us of early Fallout titles and is also equally fun to play. Trudograd lets you choose to play over a dozen of characters, all with unique skills, combat styles, and various perks. Furthermore, the quests have multiple solutions, all of which will change the city in some way. Although it is early-access, Trudograd already offers great depth that will only get expanded upon in the following months.

Island Saver

Lastly, we have a mix of Viva Pinata and Slime Rancher that's aimed for the young'uns. In it, you will help bankimals by cleaning up a toxic plastic waste with your Trash Blaster to restore breathtaking islands to their former beauty. Each island is completely different, ranging from dusty deserts to the icy arctic. Can you help all 42 bankimals and save the islands?
