Artifact Seeker: Legend of Aurorium — The Indie Roguelike That Refused to Die

In a genre packed with roguelikes and bullet heaven chaos, Artifact Seeker: Legend of Aurorium didn’t just show up... it represented well. With its fluid combat, myth-laced lore, and a visual style that screams “just one more run,” this indie title quickly carved out a space for itself among fans of Vampire Survivors and Soulstone Survivors (which are enjoyable titles in the genre). But just when things were heating up, the game disappeared from Steam without warning.

So what in the heck happened, you ask? The publisher messed around and found out!

Developed by Lynkpin Game, Artifact Seeker was one of over 50 indie games caught in the crossfire when publisher BD Games was banned from Steam in 2024 (is BD short for "Bad Day"? Might as well be!). No forewarning, no messaging... just wiped from the storefront, which is jacked up. For small teams like Lynkpin, this kind of setback can be fatal. But instead of folding for something that was out of their hands, the developers made it clear that... they weren’t done.

So, after going public with the situation and opening dialogue through their Discord and community pages, the devs took the reins. They worked behind the scenes to regain control of the IP and relaunch the game under their own name. The result? Artifact Seeker: Legend of Aurorium... the same brutal-yet-satisfying core gameplay with a renewed spark and more polish than ever before. Check it out:

Set in the mythic world of Aurorium, the game pits you against waves of corrupted enemies, as you collect relics and build synergies to survive. Each run tests your reflexes and decision-making, whether you’re powering up your battle doll Ceratil or dodging projectiles as Suraz, the Artifact Collector. With a branching world map, unlockable heroes, and meta-progression baked into every loop, it’s got the depth hardcore fans crave without the fluff.

The comeback edition brought more than just a new subtitle. We're talking new characters, tighter UI, expanded synergy systems, and quality-of-life features like enhanced controller support (which I played with). But beyond gameplay updates, the core of this article is to really highlight the how this indie team adapted to the situation... and now they're coming from a position of ownership. All thanks to their resilience, and community support. Lynkpin Game didn’t just patch their way back into relevance... they rebuilt the game’s future on their own terms. Publishers have to understand that they're being trusted to steer the ship to the best of their ability... not move in ways that will affect their crew by sinking it.

Artifact Seeker: Legend of Aurorium isn’t just another roguelike... it’s a reminder that Indie Devs may be safer without a publisher. So may this motivate the Indie Devs fighting to survive setbacks, publisher drama, and storefront potential takedowns. If you missed Artifact Seeker the first time around, now’s your chance to jump in.



RoadCraft Rebuilds the World One Convoy at a Time!

This summer, the heat isn't just in the air—it's in the recovery zones of RoadCraft, a gripping new simulation from Saber Interactive, the team behind MudRunner and SnowRunner. Expect a lot of loading in this game, and I'm not talking about the loading screen (see what I did there?). With devastation stretching as far as the eye can see, RoadCraft hands you the keys to a fleet of industrial powerhouses and challenges you to restore order to chaos.

In RoadCraft, you're the operations manager of a disaster recovery company, responding to the aftermath of hurricanes, floods, and other cataclysmic events. Your mission (if you choose to accept it):

  • Clear debris from hazardous locations
  • Reconstruct broken infrastructure across 8 massive maps
  • Deploy over 40 specialized vehicles from bulldozers to cranes
  • Recycle salvage into usable materials for reconstruction
  • Plot GPS-guided convoy routes to avoid obstacles and optimize logistics

Each map spans 4 km² and introduces unique regions like abandoned factories, collapsed bridges, and submerged solar fields. It’s tactical, rugged, and loaded with high-impact missions perfect for fans of jobsite construction-based gameplay. No worries though, you can play with up to four players!

If you're new to these sort of simulation adventure games, make sure that you get familiar with the controls. You will certainly need to know what you're doing and it will boost your enjoyment 10 fold, as you take on various real-world inspired crisis recover with tactical decisions, handling strategic logistics, etc.

Whether you're a lifelong fan of industrial sims or just love high-stakes planning, RoadCraft delivers a satisfying blend of management, momentum, and mud. Enough talking though, check out the gameplay:

Cladun X3 Summons Villains and Chaos in 2025!

Cladun X3 Coming to Nintendo Switch,
PS4, PS5, and PC in 2025


Pixelated pandemonium is back—Cladun X3, the next chapter in Nippon Ichi’s cult-hit action RPG series, is set to launch digitally later this year. Available on Nintendo Switch™, PS4®, PS5®, and PC (Steam®), this retro-styled dungeon crawler is now open for wishlisting on Steam.

🏰 A Death Game with a Pixel Twist

The dungeon-diving madness kicks off in Arcanus Cella, where villains from across realms have been summoned to participate in a brutal death game—all in the name of “world peace.” Players step into the role of one such anti-hero, battling for survival through trap-laden dungeons, vicious monsters, and bizarre alliances. It's quirky. It's deadly. It's unapologetically Cladun.

🛠️ Deep Customization, Deeper Combat

In Cladun X3, every element of your journey is yours to mold:

  • Design your own characters, weapons, music, and even towns.
  • Choose from six weapon types and 10 character jobs to fit your playstyle.
  • Dominate with the returning Magic Circle System, where supporting characters boost your stats—or serve as meat shields in battle.

With randomly generated “Ran-geons” packed with untold treasure and challenge, every run feels fresh, frantic, and totally personal.



🧙 Embrace Your Inner Evil

Will you rise through the chaos to become the ultimate villain? Or will the dungeons of Arcanus Cella claim another would-be warlord? With stylish pixel art, tight action-RPG mechanics, and customization that goes way beyond cosmetics, Cladun X3 is shaping up to be a must-play for fans of quirky dungeon-crawlers and strategic chaos.
