    22. Showgunners The elevator pitch is basically "What if The Running Man was a turn-based tactics game?" and it's exactly as fun as it sounds, and a visual style that reminded me a little of Judge Dredd, plays great on the Steam Deck, and has a demo! Try it! store.steampowered.com/app/1155330/...

    Odd recommendation, but I just finished Showgunners on Steam. Feels very Xcom-coded, lots of personality, fun puzzles wrapped up in a neat little 15-hour campaign. 100% worth a go if you like turn-based games. store.steampowered.com/app/1155330/...

    Alright, had to put Midnight Girl away for a second because I‘m back on my normal PC and didn‘t activate Cloud Save. Started Showgunners instead and DAMN! I cannot resist a good turn-based tactical shooter 🔫 It‘s brutal and fun and I‘m in love with Scarlett 😍 #indiegames

    I LOVE how powerful Showgunners allows me to feel! When a game gives you all the right toys and abilities so you can just lay into your enemies, I‘m all for it 💪 And it still manages to stay challenging! Such a good gaaaaame

    Showgunners was a fun little game. I can see how people compare it to XCOM but id say very loosely. I'm more into the theme though

    Not this style, but they did a style of game that I wanted - it was called Showgunners & I hated the demo on Steam. Big bummer.

    Think I turned off sale notifications specifically so I didn't get tempted by so many games, it still happens though 😭 I recently started playing Showgunners so it's not like I'm lacking a tactical game atm... And I still haven't tried Banner of the Maid... *sigh*

    I tried out another hidden gem last night on my indie stream with Showgunners, essentially X-Com The Running Man store.steampowered.com/app/1155330/..., while the tactical layer isn't anything new to the genre, I do like the presentation that went with it

    32. One thing you may not now about me: I love a good XOCM-like every once in a while. And Showgunners is one of the best of its kind in my humble opinion. Brutal and satisfying, you're a participant of a game show and need to fight for survival. Go crush some skulls!

    the upcoming Dark Heresy RPG makes me yearn for someone to do that formula of story-driven x-com style gameplay but with orcs. Doesn't even have to be 40k or scifi at all, just... orcs and goblins and trow as the PCs. Showgunners with orcs. Mary Gentle's Grunts: The Game.

    I hate that I can never remember Showgunners' name because it was a REALLY good turn-based tactical shooting game, lots of atmosphere, lots of character, really good systems. Great game, solid 8 out of 10, but for whatever reason I can only remember it as "That gameshow tactical shooter".

    Related to this, I recently checked out Artificer's other games, Showgunners and Sumerian Six, and they're both quite good honestly. Studio is really good at making games with a lot of satisfyingly crunchy systems - and Minos really reinforces that. store.steampowered.com/developer/ar...

    Showgunners is a turn-based tactics game by Artificiers. In this cyberpunk story, the player plays as Scarlet, an ex-cop participating in Homicidal All-Stars, a game show where contestants brutally kill each other to survive and win a prize. Scarlet, however, is different; she is there for revenge.

    Humble is having a big sale so some suggestions. - Showgunners for like 3 bucks, fun turn based tactics game. - Monster Prom 3 around 6 bucks, kinda choose your own adventure roadtrip. - Thumper is around 4 bucks, really intense rhythm game. - Noita for 6 bucks or so. Get noita'd.
