Corsair Cove: Developed by Limbic Entertainment and published by Hooded Horse, this city-building and strategy game transports players to the final years of the Golden Age of Piracy. You manage complex production chains across an island, constructing vertically on cliffs and peaks, linking buildings with bridges, ropes, and ziplines. You build ships, assign captains and crew, and embark on naval adventures such as raids, smuggling, and treasure hunts. The progression system, organized around four principles (Empire, Notoriety, Seafaring, Wealth), ties city building to sea voyages. In PC Gamer’s review, the vibrant and playful atmosphere and the depth of vertical construction and logistics puzzles are praised.
Lootbound: Developed by ArtDock, this pixel-art dark fantasy tactical roguelite begins each run solo and lets you recruit companions along the way to form your party. Equipment only activates when assigned to characters; some items emit auras that strengthen adjacent gear, adding a spatial puzzle to inventory management. Dice rolls influence risk/reward choices, and you can shape your playstyle around different damage types (armor penetration, exhaustion, destruction, direct damage). According to TurnBasedLovers, Lootbound launches on July 31, 2026 for PC (Steam) and Xbox; a free demo is currently available.
