Hey all. Always enjoyed reading everyone’s suggestions on more unknown games available during big steam sales.
I’ll start off with one that I have been a fan of for a long time: Death Road to Canada
This game is like an zombie action Oregon Trail like game, where you manage supplies and fight through hordes of zombies on your way to the safe haven of Canada. Only US$3.74 right now and well worth it imo!
Super Blood Hockey. 80% off, about $3 USD.
It’s a very well made pixel art game where you play hockey and you can beat up the other team. There’s a franchise mode as well, so you’ll want to balance how much fighting you do so your players don’t get too hurt. There’s local co-op so you can play against friends (or use steam remote play together).
PlateUp!. 40% off, about $11 USD.
Similar to Overcooked but you need to manage your restaurant and make sure you don’t fail a single order. It’s a rouge-lite, and you can move everything around in your restaurant and you kind of manage the menu as the days go on, but you get a choice whether to add option A or B, so it slowly gets more complicated. Very fun with friends, steam remote play together works here as well.
Bone’s Cafe. 30% off, about $11 USD.
Similar to Overcooked and PlateUp!, but I feel like it’s more geared towards single player (but there’s local co-op as well). You have to manage your restaurant and menu (can make it as easy or complex as you’d like), while also maybe killing customers to harvest them for ingredients :) You can spawn in helpers and you can show them a repetitive task to do and they will do it.
