Karate Survivor
(Genre: Bullet Heaven – Steam release: October 30, 2024 – Price: 5 Euro)
You know Vampire Survivors, you know Halls of Torment, you may also know Deep Rock Galactic Survivor And if you know all of them, you might be in the mood for an alternative scenario: Karate Survivor offers just that.
Instead of fighting your way through hordes of crooks in a fantasy costume, you fight in black belt attire, using movie-like maneuvers to survive as long as possible. The trailer shows well how a completely different atmosphere is created than in previous genre representatives. Check it out!

You are more of a hectic type who likes to shoot hordes of monsters? Then Vampire Hunters should be your gig. Armed to the teeth, you shoot your way through crowds of monsters.
You can choose your weapon-packed build yourself. The combination of different shooting irons determines how you play a run. Again, the trailer gives a better insight into the gameplay than an old writer could with a thousand words.
Rivals of Aether 2
(Genre: Fighting – Steam Release: October 23, 2024 – Price: 25 Euro)
Here we have a fighting game for you that has been very well received by fans on Steam. And that’s definitely worth mentioning, especially since fans of this genre are often rather difficult to impress.
At; Rivals of Aether 2; the developers seem to have pulled off this feat. The multiplayer-based fighting game is played on platforms from which you can push your opponents off, but not without falling into the abyss yourself.
Bad 2 Bad: Apocalypse
(Genre: Action RPG – Steam Release: October 30, 20 24 – Preis: 20 Euro)
The world has been overrun by the undead once again, so you equip yourself and your squad with plenty of weapons and embark on the obligatory shooting spree.

Finding Frankie
(Genre: Parkour platformer – Steam release: October 25, 2024 – Price: 15 Euro)
Huge playgrounds, a large portion of horror and lots of jumping: In Finding Frankie you cross gigantic obstacle courses, jump and puzzle your way forward to find Frankie.
In addition to the focus on skill, you can also sneak past particularly dangerous opponents. However, the bulk of the game revolves around hopping, hobbling and hoping.
