10 Upcoming Indie Turn-Based Games with a Demo Available You Should Try

Let’s keep walking the indie road with a list of Indie Game delights that are made even more delicious by the presence of a playable demo. These are turn-based RPGs and strategy games that are still in development. Still, the possibility to access the playable demo will give the opportunity to experience firsthand the goodness and authenticity of the listed titles. Given the many titles available, I was thinking of resuming the “Indie Morning“ live streams by dusting off the Twitch channel. The next appointment to try out some Turn-Based Indie Games together will be Sunday morning at 7AM CET. That being said, let’s dive right into the 10 playable demos that you should try. #turnbased #indiegames #rpg Timestamps 0:00 Best Upcoming Indie Games with a Demo Available Intro 0:14 Kriegsfront Tactics If you’re a fan of the classic strategy game Front Mission, then you might find a new favorite in Kriegsfront Tactics. This indie title from Toge Production pays homage to many of the distinctive elements that made Square’s game so memorable. 0:47 The Foretold: Westmark Legacy If dark settings and mystery fascinate you, then The Foretold: Westmark Legacy by Nodbrim Interactive is a must-try. It’s a unique blend of investigation, RPG, and card-based gameplay that takes the player on a journey to uncover the dark plots of the city of Burrmouth. 1:42 Empires Shall Fall Empires Shall Fall, the turn-based tactics game by Weird Penguin Games, draws inspiration from classic titles, but still delivers a fresh and enjoyable experience. 2:28 Prometheus Wept Prometheus Wept is a turn-based RPG that takes place in a post-digital near-future Earth. The game features a hardcore squad-level combat, simultaneous battles between cyberspace and the physical world, meaningful choices, deep character progression, and an advanced crafting system. 3:38 Shattered Heaven Shattered Heaven is a single-player card game/RPG hybrid set in a dark fantasy world. It combines card games and roguelikes to make a single-player deck builder, dungeon crawling, and a multi-branch narrative structure. 4:22 Howl Howl is a turn-based tactical folktale set in medieval times, featuring a unique “living ink“ art style. In this game, a deaf hero sets out on a dangerous quest to find a cure for the “howling plague“, a sinister disease that turns those who hear it into feral beasts. 5:22 ASTROMEDA ASTROMEDA is an original mix of turn-based and real-time mechanics. It takes inspiration from original titles such as Undertale, Hollow Knight, and Celeste. 6:36 Wantless Wantless is a Tactical RPG set in a dystopian future where players take on the role of a Transposer who can enter patients’ minds to alleviate their torments. 7:12 My Familiar My Familiar, a comedic fantasy buddy cop RPG, just released a playable demo on Steam. This JRPG features demons battling in a city falling down around their ears, with the player taking on the role of a rat creature attempting to climb a tower. 8:12 Shogun Showdown I tried the prologue of Roboatino’s Shogun Showdown a few days ago and I found it really unique and delightful with its Japanese-Inspired pixel graphics. Essentially, the player moves the hero on a 2D grid and uses the moves made available by the cards they draw from the deck. 9:05 10 Promising Indie Games with a Demo available Outro ❤️ Join this channel to get access to perks: 🔔 WEBSITE & TWITCH - Website: - Twitch channel:
