A dynamic action game featuring roguelike elements. It was developed by Stellar Jockeys - an independent American team. Brigador is set on the distant planet Novo Solo in an unspecified time period of the future.

The player's task is to liberate Solo Nobre during one night, regardless of losses suffered and the amount of damage caused. The game is played from the classic, isometric view and the player can operate various combat vehicles, such as powerful mechs. Encountering tanks, aircraft and other mechs, the player makes his way through nine subsequent districts of the city. The game does not feature a classic development system - progression here is based on gradually unlocking subsequent vehicles and weapons. Brigador is a roguelike game, thus each death of the protagonist requires the player to start from the very beginning.

RPG, 2D, Crafting, Economic, Fantasy, Humorous, Indie Games, Singleplayer, Top-down.
A sandbox RPG with strategy game features. The title was developed by Lazy Bear Games. Graveyard Keeper presents an unusual topic – it enables the player to assume the role of the titular keeper of a graveyard located in a typical fantasy realm filled with monsters and magic. The gameplay is focused on running the graveyard business, and during the game the player must take care of activities like moving bodies, digging graves and organizing funerals. At the same time the player must constantly make business-related decisions and invest in expansion and improvement of the graveyard. Since burying the dead isn’t very profitable, the player can also use alternative methods of earning – go into dungeons, participate in witch burning festivals or cooperate with the local church. The title is filled with black humor and parodies the most typical fantasy genre tropes.
