Wishlist Wednesday: 3 Indie Gems You Won’t Want to Miss
Welcome back to Wishlist Wednesday, our new weekly DMG Loot segment highlighting indie titles that deserve a prime spot on your radar. This time, we’re exploring galactic mysteries, deck-building showdowns, and a delightfully gnaughty twist on strategy. Ready to bolster your Steam wishlist? Let’s dive into these three intriguing indies:
1. Astromeda
In a Nutshell: A cosmic adventure where you traverse alien worlds, unlock powerful abilities, and unravel galactic secrets.

- Why It’s Special: From the name alone, Astromeda promises a deep-space odyssey, think rich lore, otherworldly exploration, and a journey brimming with futuristic landscapes. If you’re into atmospheric settings and a dash of sci-fi mystery, this one’s worth a closer look.
A small teaser of Astromeda! It's a game inspired by Pokemon, Undertale, and OneShot.

2. Deck of Destiny: Battleforge
In a Nutshell: A strategic card battler that tests your deck-building prowess in fast-paced, epic fantasy showdowns.

- Why It’s Special: Deck of Destiny: Battleforge puts you in control of a deck you craft from the ground up, forging alliances with mythical creatures and harnessing powerful spells. Each match turns into a high-stakes chess game of synergy and cunning. If you love tactical gameplay that rewards long-term planning and adaptability, this might be your next obsession.

3. Gnaughty Gnomes
In a Nutshell: A whimsical strategy romp featuring mischievous gnomes, creative problem-solving, and likely a fair bit of silliness.

- Why It’s Special: With a name like Gnaughty Gnomes, prepare for humorous hijinks and unexpected twists. Maybe it’s tower defense or even a puzzle-platform hybrid one thing is certain: the comedic potential is huge, and the art style looks delightfully cheeky. If you crave offbeat humor and imaginative gameplay, keep your eyes on these gnomes.
