New Steam Indie Games For October 2017
October is here and with the start of a new month means more new games for Steam. With AAA games getting all the spotlight, it's time to shed some love on a number of indie titles that just might be worth buying.
First off is "Battle Chasers: Nightwar." Set to be released on Oct. 4, the indie-role playing game said to be inspired by classic console greats and at first glance, it is definitely reminiscent of popular turn-based RPGs.
However, what really sets the game apart is its non-linear gameplay. With six characters exploring randomly-generating dungeons coupled with excellent enemy and character designs and a crafting system to boot, "Battle Chasers: Nightwar" is expected to be a game with high replayability. It's currently available for 10 percent off on Steam.
