41). Faeria

Faeria Early Access Trailer

Developer: Abrakam SA

Genre: Strategy

Themes: Fantasy, heroes

Although still in development and not exactly free at the moment, Faeria promises a deep, fun and original blend of card and board games that will not cost you a penny. Set in a fantastical land with soothing visuals and music, you will battle players with your own deck of legendary creatures and lands while building a unique world each time you play.

Hard to argue with a giant tree, so let’s begin.

The board is made up of many hexagons, and each time you play a land card, an actual piece of terrain is summoned into existence at the tile you choose. This terrain affects the creatures, not only with bonuses, but also because they actually need to be able to walk on top of something. But once they reach your opponent, they will crush him for you, so you better treat them well, ok?

That’s the most eloquent summary ever; thanks little creature.

While many features are still in development, with changes being introduced so regularly that it’s hard to keep track of everything, this is one game to be in the lookout for, especially if you have a soft spot in your heart for fantasy, strategy and kind looking turtles.

40). Chronicle: RuneScape Legends

Chronicle: RuneScape Legends - trailer

Developer: Jagex

Genre: Strategy, adventure

Themes: Fantasy and questing

Continuing with the theme of card games that don’t actually play like card games, we have Chronicle: RuneScape Legends. A simulation of a tabletop game, instead of throwing creatures and magic at your opponent as a maniac, it makes you invest in your hero’s adventure, with the final goal of gaining enough gold and experience so you can bash your opponent’s skull.

All while having a gigantic grinning overseer. Not creepy at all.

This might sound strange for a card game, and that’s actually its charm. The board where you play the game (remember it’s the simulation of a tabletop board game) Is a book. Yes, a literal book. And inside the book, there is a map that your little character explores. As you play cards, different monsters and activities will present themselves on the board, so playing a card with a goblin will place said goblin on the board, where the character will do battle with it. Why would you want that? Without enemies to practice with, your hero wouldn’t level up and would remain a pathetic weakling. So you shape and plan this little adventure for your hero, with obstacles and adventures, with the dream of emerging bloody but unbowed, ready to smash your opponent’s character into submission. And then, sweet victory.

Do it for the lil’ guy. Just look how happy he is.

If you are already a fan of Runescape, you’ll find that Chronicles is a fun new approach to old characters and settings. And if you don’t know what I’m talking about, don’t worry, it’s still a great game with lots of options to level up and have a unique experience. After all, as you keep unlocking cards and building your deck, you’ll find that no two matches will be the same. Have fun questing.

39). Smite

SMITE Cinematic Trailer - 'To Hell & Back'

Developer: HiRez Studios

Genre: Action, Strategy, Multiplayer Online Battle Arena

Themes: Mythological brawls.

An MOBA with a twist, Smite pits gods and characters of legend against each other, in battles of mythic proportions. Like, literally, you’re playing with Thor against Zeus and SunWuKong. That’s pretty mythic.

Where else would you see Odin get killed by a ten year old who has serpent wolves instead of legs?

As your typical MOBA, the players are divided into two teams, with each team trying to destroy the enemy base. In this case, the base actually is a literal Titan, so that’s fun. Along the way, you find creeps, turrets and enemy gods blocking your way. Fairly simple. However, this MOBA is played from a third person perspective, with the camera focusing on the back of your character. This means the action is a lot closer, there are no auto attacks with auto-targeting, and you can’t just fly through the map to see what’s up.

Which is kind of important, because “up” is where some angry monkey gods like to hang out.

With such a simple change of perspective, the game plays entirely different, with a lot more emphasis to “skill shots”, which means having good aim. With different game modes that let you spice up the encounters with different mechanics, such as capturing territories or an all-out arena, this is the perfect game if you love MOBAs but crave a different experience whatsoever.

38). Warface 2016: Anubis

Warface - Trailer - Operation Endless Skies

Developer: Crytek Kiev, Crytek UK

Genre: First Person Shooter

Thrusted in the middle of an explosive battle between the Warface forces and the Blackwood army, you’ll have to shoot your way out of the conflict if you hope to stay alive. Using rifles, grenades, handguns and facing the occasional robot, you’ll have to rely on skill and teamwork to crush the opposition.

I’m totally helping, guys. Just keep the robot occupied.

A multiplayer first person shooter, Warface has the traditional team matches that will leave you feeling as a true soldier or punch your keyboard in frustration, depending on the outcome. You choose your class, and weapon, get assigned to a team, and you try to place your bullets in an enemy’s body until he/she doesn’t move anymore. Simple. Or you can choose to play co-op, and instead mow down enemy waves. The cool thing that sets the game apart, though, is the constant updating and introduction of new missions, maps and game modes that always leave you wanting more.  And the weapons, although named strangely due to trademark issues and whatnot, mainly are faithful adaptations of modern weaponry, so any gun fan will love it, even if he or she cringes at first with the “incorrect” name.  

Pro tip: avoid getting crushed by tanks. You know, like that guy on the floor? Don’t do that.

Even if the core mechanics are what we are used to in other titles, with high quality graphics and fluid animations, this FPS is fun and varied, and it will keep giving you reasons to remain trigger-happy.

37). Spellweaver

Spellweaver Steam Trailer

Developer: Dream Reactor

Genre: Strategy, Trading Card Game, Indie.

Themes: Fantasy, monsters and heroes.

You know, the more traditional approach to card games is quite fun, but it can leave you without a sense of, you know, growing. After all, you can only get more cards, but the ones you have will never change. Or that’s what happened before Spellweaver came into play, as it is a card game that will let you use decks of creatures and magic while you’re actually upgrading and evolving your hero. So you get new stuff all the time. And that’s awesome.

If only gold and fame were so easy to get in real life.

The game is designed to be easy to pick up, while retaining much of its Magic The Gathering roots (the granddaddy of trading card games). However, creatures are now assigned a certain speed, with quick guys being weaker than some of their heavy companions. This is a balanced way to encourage different paces for the match, and lets you choose how you want to play. And with the hero progression that lets you unlock new abilities and resources, you will feel as you evolve from a weak newbie into a hardened veteran.

A hardened veteran who launches fireballs to unsuspecting creatures.

Designed by a former Magic: the Gathering National Champion, this game tries its very best to please players of all levels of experience, with cool artwork and fun gameplay. And it actually succeeds.

36). Loadout

Loadout Early Access Launch Trailer

Developer: Edge of Reality

Genre: Action, Third-Person Shooter

Themes: Ridiculous guns, violent and cartoonish violence.

Tired of realistic military-grade guns? What about shooting lasers or fireballs to your enemies? You, sir or lady, want to play Loadout, where you control ridiculous looking characters with even more bizarre guns, letting bullets and the aforementioned fireballs fly.

And burn your enemies to a crisp.

It’s easy to notice it’s not an overly serious games, with the wacky characters and silly animations. But the focus goes to the guns themselves, as each one of them may be customized. And when I say customized, I mean it: each part of the gun, from the trigger to the barrel, can be mixed and matched until you get it just right. Then, it’s a matter of testing it out in a team battle, where each team either tries to capture the hammer (kind of a flag, but with more blunt force) or kill every enemy.

Even if you die from a rocket to the face, you got to try your jet boots.

Silly and free, with rocket boots and gory cartoon violence, Loadout offers a fun and quick experience for those who want it, but still manages to have a lot of customization depth for the hardcore among us.
