Infinite Dust is a sandbox RPG FPS that combines many elements of survival games into one epic space game.

You need to build, explore, craft, loot, scavenge, and defend over huge procedurally-generated planets that are completely user changeable. You start out alone like any other survival game and all you have is a crappy gun and a small stash of supplies. You’re free to do whatever you want- explore or build your base. The land is huge and filled with many different creatures and plants.

You’re an explorer of “The Fleet” and you need to explore and survive by exploiting resources found naturally on planets, asteroids, ruins, moons, and other wrecks. Building and designing stuff is only the beginning. You need to build larger and faster vessels to explore the planet and space over huge distances. The game features a huge catalog of items even in its current build that you can consume, craft, and build with. It’s a game to be reckoned with.

As you explore, you’ll encounter weak to powerful enemies which you can kill to loot their goods from their inventories. You’ll also come across abandoned bases, buildings, and bunkers that you need to investigate for supplies and resources. You can even break them apart to use their pieces for your own base. You even get a drill that lets you deform and terraform the terrain. It’s like Subnautica but on the surface.

Infinite Dust is gathering a lot of press all over the web so it just may be the next survival game. As it’s still early in development, there are a lot of things that are just being discovered by players. You can build anything from weapons, vehicles, and buildings at this point, and the possibilities seem endless. The game’s worlds are indeed a little empty at this point, but more stuff will obviously be added later on.

If you’re looking for the next alien survival game, try out Infinite Dust. It has a solid foundation for a new awesome game that just looks extremely promising even in its current build.

I play the newest to the crappiest indie games and filter them for the rest of the crew.

In other words, I’m a bottom-feeder. Why do I volunteer for this trash?

Indie devs: the last honest game creators.

Space Wars: Interstellar Empires is an epic turn-based strategy game with unique spacecraft.

If you’re into strategy games (that are free) and you want to play the newest one (that’s actually good), you’ll want to give this game a try.

You choose a galactic faction. Each faction has its own unique ships and fleet- even play style. It completely changes the game depending on the faction you choose.

There are literally hundreds of spacecraft to use throughout the game. You start out with a basic ship on a huge map scattered with different locations, advantage points, chokepoints, and enemy territory. You can engage others in combat, complete quests, and even go shopping for more spacecraft or upgrade your existing crew and ship.

You can travel with your faction in order to conquer the entire galaxy. Each galaxy consists of planets which are up for the taking. You can seize new ones or raid taken ones. You’ll have to forget clans and allies in order to make progress since the game is heavily team-based. But it’s still possible to explore worlds on your own just for fun.

This game has two sides- those who are playing it casually and those who are playing it hardcore. Depending on you, you’ll find similar players to pair up with. The game is hard to describe, but it plays like an MMO with TBS. There’s always something going on, whether it’s a raid, quest, and even just a clan event.

Of course, the main goal is to conquer the galaxy with your chosen faction. When an invading force takes over a region, the faction map gets updated to include that area. Every race must fight for control. It’s a constant battle and every single player makes a difference. The game plays a lot like EVE online mixed with a typical MMORPG.

The map is huge and consists of multiple regions. You can spend hours just traveling from place to place. There are always battles going on- hundreds at a time. You can participate in any of them if you’re powerful enough. You have a skill tree that needs to be unlocked so you can be useful in them.

The combat system is completely turn-based and heavily relies on game mechanics. It’s nothing groundbreaking and plays pretty much like any TBS you’d expect. Lots of factors to consider before every turn. Lots of numbers to crunch. Details matter. It takes place on a hex-based grid in 2D with awesome animations and effects.

The ships are also very detailed with battle-ready designs and intricate detail. Each ship feels similar but unique in what it offers. They’re upgradeable using the experience you gain from quests, and there are literally over 100 you can unlock. There are currently 2 factions in the game Sol Imperial Worlds and the Genari United Empires with plans to add more in later updates.

All in all, if you like strategy games and you want to be one of the first to play a possible AAA title, try out Space Wars: Interstellar Empires. It’s free to play and already has lots of players.

Gravity Box is a sandbox game where you need to utilize the power of gravity to do stuff.

It’s a minimalistic indie game where you use gravity to do stuff like shape the solar system. You create a bunch of planets and then you use gravity to experiment with them. That’s Gravity Box in a nutshell.

You can do things like seeing how plants will react in different scenarios. You can adjust the speed of the solar simulation, see how they react to different gravity when you adjust it, and even create solar systems beyond your wildest imaginations.

Gravity Box lets you create pretty much any solar system and see how it’ll function. You can import and export your saves and you can even show your friends what you’ve created.

The sandbox style of gameplay has the potential to go viral with all the different things you can do.

Try out Gravity Box now.

Safeguards is a new futuristic multiplayer game where the focus is team-based vehicle combat.

It’s kinda like any typical FPS, except that you play in a fully-customizable vehicle that you build with tons of different parts and accessories. Think World of Tanks or Heroes in the Sky. But with futuristic vehicles instead.

You’re pitted against another team in heavy vehicles that can be modulated with tons of different weapons like lasers, cannons, plasma guns, and more. Each weapon can also have extra abilities attached to them as well. So it’s like a weapon with an active ability you can use at your command.

There are also a ton of defensive equips like shields, armor, and even repair drones that heal your teammates and drones that reveal hidden enemies. The customization is pretty deep even for a beta game.

Your vehicle is your Safeguard.

The game looks pretty good and is open for beta sign ups. You can win a key to be one of the first to play Safeguards. I can see this game being a very fun team-based strategy shooter if it takes off and even has the potential for expert-level gameplay.

Space Virus is a horror game first person horror adventure in a spaceship.

The game basically has you running through many different rooms and corridors in a ship. You need to wait for a rescue ship to come pick you up. But in the meantime, you notice there are monsters onboard the ship. Your goal is to avoid these monsters until the rescue ship arrives.

They spawned from a nasty virus that spread through the ship’s air vents and infected your crew. You’re the lone survivor on the ship and you must not get infected.

Space Virus has you running through different rooms that all look similar, but you can easily draw a logical map since they’re connected by corridors. The rooms are very open and for some reason brings back memories of the Complex level in Goldeneye 64.

The soul-eating monsters appear without notice and quickly. It’s kinda like Slender, but you can’t really tell where they’ll spawn. You need to avoid them as soon as you see them. If they catch you, the game’s over. They’re not hard to dodge, but it is pretty suspenseful because you don’t know if the room is safe or not.

You can also play the game in Normal and Hardcore modes. Normal has only a single monster that spawns on the other side of the map. Hardcore has three that spawn very close to you.

Play Space Virus. It’s pretty scary given such a simple concept.

Try it out. The game is free temporarily for download. So check it out.

Tiny Planet Defense is a defense game where you can just play it away for cheap thrills.

It’s a 2D pixel shooter where your job is to defend your tiny home planet. You’re in charge of the weapons that have been properly equipped around your planet’s orbit. You need to defend it against the waves of enemies that approach. The enemies come in waves, just like any other defense game.

You can upgrade your arsenal at the end of each wave. You can choose from three different weapons- a standard blaster, a laser, and a metal plate. The standard weapon is decent and you’ll be using it as your bread and butter. The laser is powerful, but hard to aim and slow. It also has to charge but it’s continuous when firing. You’ll need to learn about each weapon to use them correctly. Each weapon has its own pros and cons, but the plate of metal is the most challenging to use. It basically should be placed where you can’t see enemy fire and it’ll block the shots incoming from those locations. It’s crucial as the waves get more difficult.

You need to defend your tiny planet. It has an HP bar that doesn’t get replenished, so you need to be careful. The enemies also have a good variety of weapons and behaviors, so you need to learn them all.

Check out Tiny Planet Defense. It’s a fun little defense game that was built for a Game Jam entry. Perfect for a quick Let’s Play video if you’re a creator. Or just play it for a quick and cheap thrill.

Use your keyboard to control the game:

• Arrow keys to move
• X to cancel
• Z to fire/confirm

Similar to NIGHTSTAR: Rogue Wings, Stellar Codex is another game that’s very similar to Star Fox.

It’s a 2D/3D shooter with an arcade touch- mixed with on-rails combat. It’s like Star Fox in many ways. You could see Stellar Codex as a very inspired game by Star Fox, but then again, there are no annoying squadmates buzzing around bugging you for help or pestering you with things you already know. You fly solo.

Your character is dubbed Jack Knight. You’re the leader of the Elite SABER Squadron. You discover aliens on that stem from the Stellar Codex. You need to lead your squadmates over there (but take on missions solo, since you’re badass like that) and battle species in a variety of hazardous environments like asteroids, spaceships, debris, and even stars.

The game is moderately paced with arcade-style graphics that are just mesmerizing. The camera is mainly in third-person, with an occasional top-down view like an arcade space shooter. You’re on rains for most of the game in a hectic battlefield with twists here and there. The top-down sections are fun and there are side-scrolling sections too. While the Stellar Codex offers a nice rounded style of gameplay, it is pretty much said that the 3D parts are the best. I mean, you’re gunning through space blasting enemies with multiple weapons and dodging obstacles in a fast-paced shooter. What’s more to say? Just play it already and see it for yourself.

Your target can be aimed independently of your ship as well. You have free aim.

Even in alpha, the game looks very polished and has very few issues. It’s a blast to play. The only problems that I can point out are that the game can be too difficult at a few chokepoints. If you like Star Fox, you’ll need to play this game.

Check it out below and grab the download. It’s awesome.

Remmber Star Fox? Who doesn’t.

NIGHTSTAR: Rogue Wings offers you a gaming experience that’ll have you drowning in nostalgia.

Think Star Fox with updated graphics, a ton more enemies, and twitch reflexes.

Enter NIGHTSTAR.

You’ll need quick thinking to play this game. Rouge Wings offers an awesome spaceship combat simulator combined with resources management and positioning.

You fly a spaceship with customizable equipment and tons of weapons to use. You have dual primary weapons and dual secondary weapons. You also get a teleport ability on top of that. Your primary weapons are to be used situationally. For example, piercing ammo pierces enemy ships and disruptor ammo removes enemy shields. You need to use them in order (shields first) to take down baddies. Your secondary weapons can be used in conjunction with your primaries. The EMP blastwave takes away huge portions of shields. You’ll also need to position yourself and use the locking ability to hit fast ships. If you think you’re fast enough, go for it. Get this game.

But, spamming your weapons won’t cut it. You need to assess your enemies and environment too. You have missions and you need to complete them. To do so, you need to know each baddies’ weakness and utilize the environment to your advantage (and avoid obstacles). The levels are gorgeous. They’re packed with detail and the atmosphere are very well done. Pair that with a good soundtarck and awesome sound effects, and you have a modern Star Fox on steroids.

NIGHTSTAR: Rogue Wings is in alpha but already looks amazing. You can play it with beta access on Steam.

Atomic Heist is a 2D space shooter with a dungeon crawling experience. Does that make sense?

It’s a top-down shooter but you crawl dungeons. You explore new levels that are procedurally generated so they’re fresh.

You’ll have to blast through baddies, grab powerups, upgrades, and other goodies to beat the levels. You can also get a selection of spaceships (including unlockables), weapons, and modifiers to boost your ship, weaken enemy ships, or even affect your loot.

You need to stop the enemies from building the ultimate doomsday device.

Atomic Heist is both an arcade shooter and a dungeon crawler, so you get elements from both genres. You have limited ammo and it’s very easy to take damage if you don’t dodge enemy fire or have quick reflexes. It’s a tough game, but very rewarding.

If you like arcade shooters, especially space ones, check out Atomic Heist. It’s a new indie game and it’s awesome.
