10 Upcoming Indie Turn-Based Games with a Demo Available You Should Try
198Let's keep walking the indie road with a list of Indie Game delights that are made even more delicious by the presence of a playable demo. These are turn-based RPGs and strategy games that are still in development. Still, the possibility to access the playable demo will give the opportunity to experience firsthand the goodness and authenticity of the listed titles.
Given the many titles available, I was thinking of resuming the "Indie Morning" live streams by dusting off the Twitch channel. The next appointment to try out some Turn-Based Indie Games together will be Sunday morning at 7AM CET. That being said, let's dive right into the 10 playable demos that you should try.
