New Games on Steam: Quarantine Edition

Updated on March 9, 2021

This week's edition of New Games on Steam is a particularly good one. We got something for everybody, and some of these titles will put a huge smile on your face. Without further ado …

Beyond This Side

Let's start with an interesting point-and-click adventure from Glim Games. You will be playing as Sam, who is shellshocked after finding his missing wife's hand in a trashcan. He decides to snoop around the alley for 6 months, and during this time, the mystery slowly begins to uncover. As you can probably tell, Beyond This Side pairs challenging puzzles with a bleak atmosphere that isn't for everyone. This is an episodic game, with 2 out of 3 episodes already available.

Dunk Lords

If you've ever wanted to smash your opponent's head while playing basketball, now you can! Dunk Lords is a basketball beat 'em up that presents a healthy outlet to your sociopathic tendencies. You can choose between 16 wacky characters, all with their special abilities, to uncover complete mayhem on the field. More attacks are earned by doing a Space Jam like dunks or massive rejections, so it's on you to give it your best. Since this is a 2v2 battle, Dunk Lords supports split-screen play and has 4-player arcade mode. So, invite your friends and let the dunking begin!

ShieldWall

Nezon Productions came out swinging from the get-go, with this refreshing take on the strategy genre. Set in a time of ancient Rome, ShieldWall puts you in boots of a legion leader whose task is to conquer Gaul for mighty Caesar. However, all characters are lego-like soldiers, which makes for hilarious battles. ShieldWall lets you siege or defends your castle against up to 3 additional teams. If this trailer doesn't make your blood boil, I don't know what will.

Onwards, to victory! (Steam)

Legend of Keepers

Congratulations! Your dreams have become true and you are finally hired as a dungeon master. Now, you are in charge of defending precious treasure acquired by Dungeons Company. Luckily, you have a ton of beastly employees who will gladly fight in your place. As you crush weakly heroes, you will also be climbing a steep corporate ladder, hire mercenaries and micromanage your employees. If you are looking for an interesting turn-based roguelike with a spin, Legend of Keepers might be a perfect choice for you.

ASCIIDENT

Lastly, we have a full-on retro sci-fi adventure game. The game boasts an ASCII artwork, melodramatic 8-bit music, and features a vast open-world for you to explore. Asciident is inspired by SF novel Frango Anomaly, and you will be playing as a (human?) clone who's trying to escape space pirates. Since it's early access, you can expect a lot more new content in the months to come.
