One of the hidden gems has to be Wax Heads. You run a vinyl record store and try matching records to the customer at the till. It's a slice-of-life, narrative cozy game based on punk sub-subcultures. The demo is available on Steam, which I cannot wait to play again.

I played Bootleg Steamer at WASD last week and it ticked all the boxes for me. Between the rogue-like elements and the inventory management, it's exactly what I enjoyed about similar games like Sunless Sea or Sunless Skies.

The setting was very cool and the theming all added to that. The demo had a couple of maps to have a go on which was great. It's also super fun to make your little boat go super fast on the currents too! I got caught by the cops multiple times so I might be a rubbish bootlegger but I had a great time trying.

Bought it the minute I got home!

Honestly one of my favourite games from WASD 2024 and the one I'm most looking forward to is NanoApostle, a challenging but super fun boss rush hack and slash by PQube.

The controls feel very responsive and intuitive, which is useful when the dodge mechanic is an essential to use in combat. This game starts out with simple but effective combo attacks, but shooting with nanites blocking attacks can reward you just as much and make it a little bit easier to get those hits in. What makes the style pop so well is down to the colourful effects with a 2D art style set against a mechanical and monochromatic backdrop with a futuristic feel to it.

Installing modules to enhance combat adds custom options so you can fight with your own style and play.

The electronic soundtrack and sound design combined with the futuristic factory setting makes this game feel dystopian and mysterious, like there's something more to these fights you're being put through and hopefully we get to discover more when it comes out! 👀🗡️

Children of the Sun is a nice, unique shooting game where you play the role of an archer with a bow and arrow winding their way through the different environments using the power of physics, the art style is very cool which appealed to my eye and the camera angle made it very immersive. The developers did a great job of capturing the immersion you get in a game.

I enjoyed the ninja combat physics that made the character sneaky when planning the attacks, definitely one to look out for!
