Stonewards, the dwarven mine defense roguelite from Banana Tiger Studio, entered early access on Steam on August 12 and quickly drew high praise. Players split time between mining procedurally generated tunnels for ore and defending a gate against wave-based monster hordes. Going too deep risks missing the next attack, so the loop is a constant back-and-forth between the mine and the fort.
As of this writing, the game holds a Very Positive rating from about 260 user reviews, with 96% positive. The demo released at Steam Next Fest in June was well received, and the game's wishlist count surpassed 100,000 before launch. Early access is planned to last about 9 months to a year, with new weapons, crafting recipes, maps, and bosses slated for full release. The price is expected to rise slightly at that point.
