Early Access Thursday

A nice selection of new early access titles on steam this week, here are my favourites:

Savage Lands by Signal Studios
Savage Lands is a gritty, brutal, first-person open-world fantasy survival game in which players have only one goal: Stay Alive. Explore a world where days and nights are spent slaughtering vicious creatures, gathering scarce resources, building shelter and crafting powerful weapons needed to survive. Every decision counts, because one mistake can lead to an unfortunate encounter with deaths cold embrace.



Price - £18.99 or £67.99 for a 4-pack

Opinion - Watching the trailer and reading about the game, it looks like survival Skyrim with the ability to do multiplayer - that's a good thing in my book.  I'll be keeping a close eye on this one.

Reign of Kings by Code}{atch
Struggle to survive in a harsh medieval world. Hunt wildlife, mine resources, build structures, and craft weapons and armor in order to protect yourself. You may form a guild, bring war to all opposition, and try to seize the throne and become king!


Price - £14.99

Opinion - A medieval survival with perma-death, a living world and sandbox capability.  I want this game!

Executive Assault by Hesketh Studios
Executive Assault is an indie real-time strategy/first-person shooter where you can not only build your base and create armies, but also take control of your units and fight as one of them. 



Price - £14.99

Opinion - A very good looking RTS that reminds me of Supreme Commander and Total Annihilation - also liking the ability to play as an FPS by taking control of one of your units.

Farlight Explorers by Farlight Games Industry
Farlight Explores is a 3D space-sandbox game, made for space exploration, science fiction, resource management and action fans. In this game you can build your base or spaceship, explore the galaxy, extract unique ores in each planet or asteroids, craft new products, transport goods from one planet to another and more...

Price - £13.59

Opinion - Another sandbox game but very orientated towards building and exploring, although by the sounds of it, with very brutal combat as well.  Looks interesting and worth looking at if you are a sci-fi and sandbox building fan.

Dig or Die by Gaddy Games
You are a representative of the CRAFT & Co company. You are selling automated fabrication tools across the galaxy when your spacecraft crashes into a hostile planet. Use the tools you sell and the local resources to build up all of what you'll need to survive and eventually be able to escape the planet. 

Price - £1.99

Opinion - And another sandbox game, but this time unique in that it is 2D and side-scrolling.  The game is remarkably cheap for the amount of gameplay on offer and I think I will be buying it later today.
