One of our most-anticipated indies just launched on Steam Early Access

A few months ago, I put together a list of the most promising looking indie games hitting PC this year. Right near the top of that list, you'll find Cataclismo, the next game from the studio behind Moonlighter. Now, Digital Sun is ready to put the game into the spotlight, with an early access launch dropping this week. 

Cataclismo is now out via Steam Early Access, and it has a 20% discount as part of the launch. In its early access form, the game includes eleven fully-voiced campaign levels, with more to come over the course of development, a Skirmish mode, an Endless mode, a level editor and even Steam Workshop compatibility so modders can make tweaks.

Digital Sun, the studio behind the game, says that “player unput will be a pivotal part” of the next leg of development, so if you do pick the game up, be sure to provide feedback for any changes you would like to see before the game hits V1.0.

For those who don't know, Cataclismo blends real-time strategy elements with tower defence, offering a unique take on a strategy game, with players designing huge fortresses with enough defences and firepower to defend against huge swarms of enemies. It is very different to the studio's previous two games, both of which I very much enjoyed.

KitGuru Says: It launched about a week later than anticipated but Cataclismo has arrived. Are any of you thinking of picking this one up? If the controls are handled well, it could make for a great Steam Deck game.
