When I first laid my eyes on Constance, a 2D Metroidvania game developed by btf, my first thoughts were, “My God, this game is gorgeous.” Its painterly style jumps off the screen with vibrant colors and stunning animations that remind me of cartoon series such as Over the Garden Wall, Adventure Time, and even Gravity Falls.

Demonschool is a tactical RPG centering around young demon hunter Faye, who is eager to begin her education at a university on the mysterious Hemsk Island. Ok, so she’s actually less enthusiastic about the education part and more enthusiastic about potential run-ins with demons.

Morsels is a frantic and, quite frankly, bizarre action roguelike that feels a bit like Binding of Isaac had an illegitimate child with Pokémon. Players control a small mouse that blasts through disturbingly beautiful and increasingly odd landscapes, taking down monsters and entering mouse holes as they battle against their one true enemy—CATS (would you expect anything else?)

What FOREstrikes me the most about Forestrike is that I’ve never played a roguelite quite like it.  The closest game I can think of is Shogun Showdown, which, first of all, you should prioritize playing if you haven’t already, and second of all, feels sort of like the turn-based analogue to the type of game that Forestrike is.
