We’ve officially made it through January, which means it’s time to look ahead to February — the shortest month of the year, the month of love, and one that’s still packed with exciting indie releases. Rather than getting caught up in what that might mean philosophically, we’re focusing on what matters most: the games.
To help you plan your month, we’ve rounded up some of the most interesting indie titles launching in February that are well worth keeping on your radar.
MENACE delivers deep, turn-based tactical RPG action in a gritty sci-fi setting from the developers behind Battle Brothers. You command a strike force of marines, mercenaries, and specialists as you respond to distress calls across a chaotic frontier system. Along the way, you’ll tackle a mysterious alien threat. Expect detailed squad management, diverse battlefields, and strategic decisions that will keep you thinking.
Mewgenics comes from the indie minds behind The Binding of Isaac. Here, you’re tasked with breeding the ultimate army of cats. Things will get weird, grim, and a little grotesque, but the gameplay promises to be a lot of fun. Its roguelike, turn-based tactics structure offers plenty of memorable moments and space to experiment with powerful builds.
ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN is all about fast, flashy, and unapologetically violent action. You play as Romeo Stargazer, fighting for survival across space and time. With a variety of devastating weapons and abilities at your disposal, you’ll need to stay on your toes. This one’s intense and made for players who love action turned all the way up.
High On Life 2 returns with the chaotic, comedic action that made the first game a cult hit. A mysterious threat puts you in danger, sending you across the stars to uncover a sinister conspiracy. You’ll blast your way through vibrant worlds while using a skateboard for fast, fluid traversal. Its hyperactive combat and offbeat style make it a must‑play for fans of irreverent shooters.
Astrobotanica takes a more relaxed approach. You play as an alien exploring Earth as it existed three hundred thousand years ago. You’ll scan and explore, build a base, grow crops, and brew tonics to survive. With its charming visuals and slower pace, it’s perfect for players who enjoy a calm survival experience.
Dead in Antares puts you in charge of a group of survivors stranded on an alien planet. With Earth facing collapse, your goal is to determine if humanity can survive elsewhere. You’ll manage resources, mental health, and relationships. Tough decisions and emotional moments await at every turn.
Demon Tides is a vibrant open-world platformer where you explore vast oceans and transform between forms to uncover hidden secrets. Its smooth movement, striking visuals, and open-ended exploration give it the feel of a high-quality indie take on a classic platforming formula.
