[@DextrousGames]

Thanks for highlighting Technocide! This Next Fest has been very busy getting the streams to work. I also got some messages from passionate players, which is the greatest feeling in the world!

[@RealmofInk]

Thanks for featuring Realm of Ink in your channel again! Appreciate it!

[@ice7997]

oh boy, the F-Zero clone is the F-Zero I've been waiting for many years, and I wouldn't have known about him if it weren't for you. Thanks Clemmy :D

[@kylethompsondev]

Woah thanks so much!! I really appreciate you featuring Crypt Custodian! This fest is pretty stacked, tons of great games here

[@shravartanawde7831]

Crypt Custodian is a masterpiece! Thank you for all the amazing games you have created!

[@julioreyesrepiso]

thanks for the video, every time I finish one of your videos my wish list grows

[@GJPGAMESvideos]

So many demos that I filled my hard drive with them and now I'm working on recording gameplay for my channel! I am going to have a busy few weeks

[@halcyonacoustic7366]

Seriously, this is the best Next Fest yet! Absolutely spoiled for choice on all fronts.

[@lochlannach7]

I tried the demo for Emberbane and what i noticed is that the game takes A LOT of inspiration from Blasphemous, but I'm interested in seeing how the game's development progresses and if they will add more attack combos and all that.

[@SecondsGuess]

Thank you for showing everyone the Best Indie Games! 😄Hope you never run out of amazing indies to find! Good luck👍

[@commentarytalk1446]

Realm Of Ink - Really looks like a challenger to Hades with the ink-like look and Eastern theme. Abathor - up to 4P coop, sign me up: Looks like serious fun with friends platform combater - great art style. It's great when the devs surreptiously allow "jostling" between friends often "accidentally again" leading to one friend tipping off an edge every so often! Never Grave: The Witch And The Curse - Does look like potential hit material, with stylistic graphics, sharp controls and throw in other features and has an all round attractive and enjoyable vibe. Pacific Drive - Looks impressive, a game like Roadside Picnic / Stalker and evocative. Be interesting to see the survival gameplay options and supernatural/extra-terrestrial threats. Pepper Grinder - Has some inventive movement dynamics for sure! Great job here. Keep the good stuff coming!

[@RoadKamelot2nd]

I gave the demo of "Realm of Ink" a spin and I'm sold on the bosses not being obnoxiously damage-spongy like the Hades ones. Alone the fight with one of the Furies takes up to 10 minutes, while the first boss of Ink Blood goes down in 3-5.

[@AzzRushman]

Duel Corp and Raw Metal both look gorgeous!

[@nathanielknight1838]

Eden's guardian and Awaken - Astral Blade were both surprisingly cool games

[@dadtier564]

Thank you so much for the list, gonna check them out!

[@cineronin]

just bought a steam deck oled this channel is so helpful discovering indie games

[@matthieurheaume]

Everyone should try out the Hauntii demo too! 10/10 artstyle and interesting possession mechanic > best demo i tried so far ^_^

[@halcyonacoustic7366]

It was on my wishlist but I removed it. However, when I saw the demo pop up I downloaded it and I'll try.

[@black_stark2]

When I thought I couldn't find more demos to download (I had 50 downloaded and ready to play already, besides the ones I already played last week), you showed me Creature Keeper. Thanks! I know how hard to make this tops is, but if you are interested in some recommendations, STAND-ALONE is also a great action roguelite and Clonizer is a fresh deckbuilder roguelite. Also, apparently, I am a bigger Realm of Ink fan than the average player 😅.

[@meugameb7567]

Lista de jogos incríveis! Parabéns!!!

[@KedaiCiplak]

Hell yeah! my favourite Steam Event.

[@GATESOFKELL]

Ultros is easily the stand-out demo for me, so happy it comes out so soon.

[@MeIsTimmy]

oh no mention of Sword of Convallaria... I'm so hyped for that game

[@ClemmyGames]

Looks pretty but it’s a free to play gatcha game 😕

[@benprins8240]

Thanks Clemmy, really looking forward to Kingsgrave and Morbid Lords of Ire 🙂🙂🙂

[@user-wn8je2zv8l]

Thanks. I found some games I'd like to try out (Technocide, Raw Metal, Berserk Boy, Pepper Grinder, Realm of Ink and Abathor) from your list of recommendations.

[@Time2Coffee_]

Raw Metal looks so cool! Also why is the comment section of these videos just people being mad over indie games. But still thank you Clemmy for giving an outlet to show off these cool games I’ve never heard of. Definitely will keep an eye on many.

[@Waeweas]

I love watching your videos and and filling my steam wish list :D

[@KitogoruGames-wq6cx]

Lots of great games, Abathor and Star Racer look really awesome!

[@LutraLovegood]

Oh, wow, didn't know Necrosmith did well enough for a sequel! As a Drill Dozer fan I'm looking forward to Pepper Grinder releasing some day. Drill, baby, drill!

[@pavlotverdokhlib7627]

Haven't played any of the metroidavnias yet (I got about 30 demos). Do wanna give a shout out to Ereban: Shadow legacy, as a really slick stealth-action game with a really nice art style- and the demo is much more colourful than the initial reveal. Looks like a nice, stage-based wide-linear AA action game, so hopefully it does well (launching on GamePass should hopefully help) Also, Detective: Ritual of the Sea. which seems like a really neat puzzler. I've absolutely hated how the Burrow ability in Ori 2 controlled, so I don't have high hopes for Pepper Grinder; Will give the demo a try, though.

[@R3GARnator]

Good selection.

[@tonyru6982]

Check out 'Deviator' demo also

[@halcyonacoustic7366]

12:16 Arco has another game mechanic that their trailer talks about making combat more dynamic. SPOILERS BELOW There is a morality system, and if you do immoral stuff, you start to also face enemies that DON'T pause when you're picking your next move. Very cool gameplay twist.

[@axelbrionac4614]

I would like to mention Emberbane demo too

[@superlol178]

Can i also recommend a game that some friends are making? Albatroz, it is a very unique game.

[@halcyonacoustic7366]

I'll check it out.

[@halcyonacoustic7366]

WOW just looked at the trailer and aesthetically it is like a dreamscape version of Colorado in the fall. Seriously impressive. and I liked the music too.

[@NukeThemAllGame]

You can try our demo during the Next Fest! "Nuke Them All" is an exciting indie RTS game set to launch in 2024, and we've already released the Demo. It's a unique game in the style of classic golden-era RTS titles like Z, KKND, and C&C Red Alert. The primary objective is to capture flags and territories, speeding up production, upgrading factories, and ultimately destroying the enemy fort!

[@dio-ju6se]

backpack battles looks good, need something new like backpack hero

[@LutraLovegood]

If any game should be called an F-Zero-like, Star Racer looks like a top contender.

[@henryzhu9594]

I highly recommend Blazblue Entropy Effect

[@awolCZ]

Steam Next Festival February 2023 - you sure about 2023? ;-)

[@ClemmyGames]

Whoops!

[@arieltkotz4877]

For the people that like RTS, the God Sworn demo is fun and the premise of the game is good, but so far there's only 2 factions

[@niallohalloran2774]

Ultros should be on this list

[@arieltkotz4877]

Also Reus 2

[@alex_oiman]

there's no way half of these arent paid ads. because some of these cant possibly be in the top 25 games in next fest

[@Dratio]

Which ones do you think should replace them?

[@alex_oiman]

@@Dratio i dunno maybe stormgate? which is the most anticipated rts game. or children of the sun which is published by devolver. i'm sure opening the trending list would give some better games than some listed here.

[@lochlannach7]

​@@DratioHauntii, Ultros and Tiny Terry's Turbo Trip were all great, you gotta try them.

[@Blue_Nova707]

​@@alex_oiman stormgate sucks

[@thebarbaryghostsf]

Nahhh F-Zero like is a perfect description, That game looks like a clone of F-Zero lol.

[@xNeoGenesis]

Great list. From the ones I've played I loved Berserk Boy and Pepper Grinder!

[@jaydiaz2124]

This is 2024, dude.

we should not call the fzero clone a fzero clone? wtf.

[@abysskun9518]

I'm not entirely sure of what turns me off faster from a game: survival mechanics, base building on rogue like elements

[@XiLock_Alotx]

Another pocket pair game that looks identical to another very popular game….shameless

[@waldezurbe]

never grave is pathetic, and ppl thought crowsworn was bad.

[@pavlotverdokhlib7627]

There is literally a sub-genre of Hollow Knight-likes by now. There's also Deviator, Lotus Knight, Phosphi... there was that stained-glass-themed MV that came out 2 years ago and reviewed really badly, too.

[@robertfernandez3746]

never grave does look p cool but pocketpair as a company gives me the ick so ill force myself to avoid it

[@brightsuperstition]

Thanks. I found some games I'd like to try out (Technocide, Raw Metal, Berserk Boy, Pepper Grinder, Realm of Ink and Abathor) from your list of recommendations.
