These games that were announced during the Guerrilla Collective and PC Gaming Show events all have one thing in common–they’re playable now. We’re talking fan-favorites like Slay the Spire, high-octane picks like Rigid Force: Redux, and classics like Persona 4 Golden. We’ve also rounded up some other games that are launching in the coming days to give you something to look forward to.

Slay the Spire – iOS

This deckbuilding rogue-like has become a bit of an indie household name, and it’s finally found a new home on the Apple store for iOS devices. You can now take this game on the go with you for $9.99, and Android users can look forward to their own port soon. Ascend the Spire by fighting your way through bosses and events, armed with only your wits and your ability to pull together a killer deck.

Persona 4 Golden – PC

Yes, the leaks were true. Persona 4 Golden is out now on PC, and it even has the Japanese VO included. Atlus launched this PlayStation Vita classic today, and it boasts a number of quality-of-life improvements including a visual upgrade comprised of comprehensive graphics options. Take yourself and your mates out for a whirl in the town of Inaba, living the high school life and fighting shadowy evil figures by night while persevering with the power of friendship! The game is currently available on Steam.

Floppy Knights demo – PC

Floppy Knights is a mix of tactics, deck-building, and action from Rose City Games. You’re going to get to put cards together to aid your playable characters, who are named as such because they’re projections summoned from (you guessed it) floppy disks. Talk about a hit of nostalgia! If you’re curious about trying it out, you can do so now on Steam as part of its ongoing free demo, and you’ll be able to wishlist it as well.

Outbuddies DX – Xbox One, Nintendo Switch

Outbuddies DX is heavily influenced by Metroidvanias, and this PC title has now been revamped for release on the Nintendo Switch and the Xbox One. Use a variety of tools, a robotic pal, and your wits to navigate an unknown world full of uncanny foes. Try it out now if you’re a fan of retro platformers.

Torchlight 3 early access – PC

Torchlight 3 has been in the works for quite some time, but it’s now available on Steam Early Access. This latest installment in the Torchlight franchise will have both single-player and co-op options, as is traditional, and will let players pick from four powerful classes.

You can jump into it right now for the price of $30 USD.

Ultrakill demo – PC

Self-described as an “ultraviolent retro FPS”, this is a look back at the prestige shooters of the 90s where you rampage through levels and tear your foes apart to fuel an endless hail of bullet-based destruction. It’s definitely giving us plenty of Quake vibes. There’s currently a demo available on the Steam store for you to try out, with the game’s projected release being Summer 2020.

Cardaclysm demo – PC

If you fancy a new CCG to cut your teeth on, why not check out Cardaclysm? The game tasks you with taking out the four horsemen of the apocalypse, except this time you’re going to need your deckbuilding know-how to do it. Fight your way through the world to get powerful cards, then take on your enemies when you’re strong enough. Elder Games’ latest is in early access but there’s a demo available on Steam right now.

UnDungeon demo – PC

Can’t get enough of pixel art games? UnDungeon is here to scratch that itch, especially if you consider yourself a fan of Hyper Light Drifter.

The demo is out now on Steam.

Cartel Tycoon demo – PC

Well, you can aspire to that and more with Cartel Tycoon, a drug empire building simulator that lets you manage to be a criminal mastermind while partying hard.
