Signed FireDog, Duster Buster is a 2D pixel art roguelite set in a haunted mansion where you face… possessed furniture. According to the synopsis taken by Gamingbible, it invites you to “fight dusty furniture, survive quick runs on a linear map, unlock upgrades and discover the secrets of the mansion during short, repeatable sessions”. Released on March 24, it is solo, free-to-play, and currently has 100% positive reviews out of 10 evaluations.
VampireBlazedeveloped by dhr-Lab, clearly targets fans of Castlevania : a retro 2D platformer with more than 10 stages, alternate routes and a final confrontation against a demon lord. Again, it’s a completely free single-player game, launched on March 24.
With Dreams Far AwayShalix and VLK Gaming are banking on a race/platform in FPS view playable up to 8 online. You cross hanging cities built after a mutated rabies type epidemic, chaining jumps and parkour to reach a secure city. Please note, the minimum configuration announced (Core i5‑7400, RTX 2070) remains high for free-to-play.
Finally, Derby’s Tycoon Online from Hong Kong Gamestar Limited is a horse racing management MMO: purchasing and training, breeding, unique villas on the map, player clubs and very frequent races. Released on March 28, it already has a “Very Positive” reception with around 96% favorable ratings.
Which free Steam game to try first according to your player profile?
If you like roguelites Hades Or The Binding of Isaacstart with Duster Buster. The runs are fast, perfect for short sessions, and the current rating of 10/10 makes it an ideal candidate for the curious who want to form their own opinion early. The only downside for some: the game is only available in English.
For those nostalgic for demanding platformers, VampireBlaze ticks all the boxes: 16-bit aesthetics, precise jumps, punishing enemies. Again, the interface is in English only, but the gameplay remains very readable.
Are you looking for a multiplayer title to play with friends? Dreams Far Away offers races for up to 8 players in quite spectacular aerial environments. The game is available in English and Turkish, but requires a beefy PC to run correctly.
Derby’s Tycoon Online targets management fans ready to invest in a very complete online ecosystem. On the other hand, the interface and audio comments are only in traditional Chinese, which strongly limits its accessibility if you do not master the language.
