March is shaping up to be a massive month for gaming. With huge titles like Crimson Desert and Monster Hunter Stories 3 on the horizon, you’ll have to be selective about what you play. To help you navigate the crowded calendar, we’ve hand-picked 12 standout indie games that deserve a spot on your radar this month.
Esoteric Ebb is an isometric CRPG fusing Disco Elysium’s introspective dialogues and inner voices with D&D 5e TTRPG dice rolls in a post-Arcanepunk fantasy world. Core mechanics include branching choices, CHIMES (stats debating in your mind), turn-based dice encounters, reality-warping spells, and a Questing Tree for feats and progression.
Slay the Spire 2 is the sequel to the genre-defining roguelike deckbuilder, set 1,000 years after the original where the malevolent Spire awakens hungrier than ever. Players craft unique decks from an expanded arsenal of cards, relics, and potions to ascend procedurally generated floors, battling bizarre enemies and uncovering lore.
Planet of Lana II: Children of the Leaf is the sequel to the 2023 cinematic puzzle-platformer, where an older, more agile Lana and her loyal companion Mui confront tribal conflicts fueled by greed, advancing technology, and ancient planetary mysteries on Novo.
Solasta II is the sequel to Solasta: Crown of the Magister, a turn-based tactical RPG faithful to the SRD 5.2 ruleset (D&D 5e 2024), where four Colwall siblings journey to mana-infused Neokos seeking redemption and answers after their mother’s death, battling the corrupting Shadwyn.
DarkSwitch is a vertical survival city builder blending tower defense, resource management, and exploration, set in a folk horror dark fantasy world where you erect elven-like Arelian settlements on 200-meter-tall Ardentis trees to combat the creeping Fog that induces madness and spawns terrors.
Collector’s Cove is a cozy farming adventure on the high seas, where you sail uncharted waters with a huggable dinosaur companion, cultivate a floating farm on your ship, explore islands across climate zones, collect rare crops/fish for your Compendium, and craft to personalize your boat/home, no enemies, just relaxation.
DEADLINE DELIVERY is a chaotic, momentum-based racing game where you play as Carl, a monkey mailman driving a fast, unstable truck rigged with explosives where your goal is to deliver mail across 18 unique maps before the timer explodes.
Everwind is a first-person co-op sandbox survival RPG set among vast floating islands from the shattered continent of Urthia, where you customize steampunk airships as mobile bases, explore diverse biomes/dungeons, gather resources, craft/enchant gear & potions, and battle foes with melee weapons, magic staffs, and alchemy (solo or with up to 3 friends).
Fallen Tear: The Ascension is a hand-animated story-driven Metroidvania fusing JRPG party-building with precise 2D combat/exploration. In this game, amnesiac orphan Hira forges Fated Bonds with 16+ voiced allies to wield unique abilities, restore elemental balance, and battle corrupted gods in the dying high-fantasy world of Raoah.
Nova Roma is a low-poly city builder set amid the Roman Empire’s fall, where you lead settlers to forge a new bastion. The goal is to appease gods with temples, enact laws/edicts, manage citizen needs (food, wine, games), and craft supply chains/water systems to thrive for millennia.
OPUS: Prism Peak is the latest narrative photo adventure in SIGONO’s award-winning OPUS series (12M+ downloads), where weary photographer Eugene and an amnesiac girl traverse the fading Dusklands, a post-human ethereal realm of animal spirits to reach Prism Peak and reclaim lost memories.
RACCOIN: Coin Pusher Roguelike fuses arcade coin pushers with roguelike deckbuilding, where you drop special coins and 150+ power-up items into a chaotic machine for wildly satisfying synergies, multipliers, explosions, and tower-stacking combos to rack up scores and tickets.
