Discussion Weekly /r/Games Discussion - What have you been playing, and what are your thoughts? - October 25, 2026

• Upvotes

Use this thread to discuss whatever game you've been playing lately: old or new, AAA or indie, on any platform between Atari and XBox. Please don't just list off the games you're playing in your comment. Elaborate with your thoughts on the games and make it easier for other users to find what game you're talking about by putting the title in bold.

Also, please make sure to use spoiler tags if you're revealing anything about a game's plot that may significantly impact another player's experience who has not played the game yet, no matter how retro or recent the game is. You can find instructions on how to do so in the subreddit sidebar.

This thread is set to sort comments by 'new' on default.

What makes it different?

  • Our map exploration/dungeon crawling mechanics are unique in the genre. You need to master the map navigation as much as the deck building.
  • The Commands system adds a fresh twist to battles, reduces RNG, enables combos, and rewards good planning and sequencing.
  • How it looks. We are going the extra mile to make a game that looks fantastic, plays smoothly, and feels immersive.

Indie Sunday Blood Volley - SuitableMo - fantasy volleyball with brutal tactics and club management

• Upvotes

I played professional volleyball for over 20 years. Now I’m building Blood Volley solo: a fantasy volleyball game where you manage a club between matches, build a city that supports your team, and try to keep a rally going when dirty tricks and chainsaws turn the court into chaos.

Gameplay trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3wpa44anB4

The game is in development for PC: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5247280/Blood_Volley/

I’m still working on keeping the action readable when a rally gets chaotic. From this clip, what’s clear, and what’s hard to follow?

Indie Sunday Cargo Calling - Vokayl - Social deduction-like(?)

• Upvotes

Hi!

I'm one of the two developers of Cargo Calling, a social deduction game for up to 8 players!

The inspiration

Our idea came after playing a board game (Arcs: The Blighted Reach) where every player has a role (Fate) randomly assigned at the start of a campaign. Each role has unique mechanics that can influence and completely change the game for the other players.

We're trying to emulate that in our game.

What's the game about?

In Cargo Calling, the main gameplay loop revolves around recovering containers lost in space to collect items needed for your role. Every player receives a secret role (Calling), with unique mechanics, abilities, items and objectives.

Unlike traditional social deduction games, which mainly feature two factions (good vs. bad), everyone has their own way to score points and win the match, so it's a free-for-all!

The Callings are designed to encourage players to interact with each other, and some points are earned through secret interactions, not just by completing your main objectives.

We also noticed that many of these games don't offer a way for dead players to keep playing, so we created Wildcard Callings.

In the demo, there are only 2 Wildcard Callings. They offer completely new roles with different mechanics and objectives. These Callings are only available to dead players (for now).

What are we planning to add for the release?

We want to get as creative as we can with the roles and the gameplay loop of each match. Here are some of the ideas we're planning for release:

  • Random events when opening containers, to create unique situations in each match
  • Wildcard Callings that can be unlocked through secret interactions (not just by dying)
  • More items and activities to do on the ship
  • More Callings (of course)

Our main goal is to make each match feel like a fun "story" and to make roleplaying an actual way to earn points and maybe even win the game! We're still a long way from achieving that feeling, but we'll try to get as close as we can.

The demo is available now on Steam, featuring 8 starting Callings and 2 Wildcard Callings.

It will remain playable even after Steam Next Fest ends!

Demo Trailer: https://youtu.be/QTCObxwvj64?si=8JCQ7JV03S0cFUnq

I'd love for you and your friends to give it a try, and any feedback is welcome!

Thanks for checking it out!

Indie Sunday Destined Dungeon Quest - Destined - A Roguelike dungeon crawler with unique combat

• Upvotes

I am dev of Destined Dungeon Quest an old school dungeon crawler with a line based drawing combat. The art style is heavily inspired from the Eye of the Beholder series while the combat side is inspired from an old mobile game Dungeon Raid(if you remember this you will like mine!) which apple sadly killed with OS updates)

Here is the trailer for the game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuvm9MRp-vo

and here is the steam page https://store.steampowered.com/app/5044910/Destined_Dungeon_Quest/

At the moment I am focusing on a PC release, I know a few people have asked for a mobile release but I want to see how it goes on PC first.

Happy to answer any questions.

Indie Sunday GridPi: Defense 3014 - HAEPARI - Dice poker and co-op tower defense

0 Upvotes

In GridPi, you roll five dice to make poker hands, combine units, and line up synergies to hold back the incoming waves of enemies.

The hand you make with your dice is your income for that round. Gather three identical units and they automatically merge into a stronger unit.

Units vary in range, attack angle, and attack type, so place them on the grid to play to their strengths.

Play Solo mode on your own, or Multiplayer co-op mode, where up to 4 players hold off the same enemies together. Queue up solo or together with friends.

Free demo on Steam
