Farming sim meets tower defense in hare-raising adventure The Rabbit Haul

aldera Interactive has unveiled its cozy farming sim / tower defense hybrid The Rabbit Haul, coming to PC and Switch in 2026. As a fleet-footed rabbit, you must nurture your garden by day, then defend it from mischievous raccoons by night.

The Rabbit Haul places players in the role of a cute cottontail trying to rebuild their hometown after it’s been ravaged by greedy raccoon gang the Trash Panda Posse. During the day, you must tend to your crops, replenish your food reserves and economy, water your farm, add harvested produce to your haul, and grow defensive tower plants that will help thwart off invaders. Be strategic in your placement, as an ideal garden will make use of synergies created between harmonious plants.
When you choose to switch over into nighttime, you must defend your haul against the assailing Trash Panda Posse. They’ll grow stronger with each wave, with different enemy types attempting to spoil your riches, so you must upgrade your weapons and defenses to ensure you can survive the night!

No two playthroughs are ever the same, as The Rabbit Haul features a sprawling, randomly generated world full of quests and treasures. Explore the overworld to discover unique items and allies that will help rebuild your town and reinforce your defenses even further. Between runs, you can upgrade your towers, unlock new merchants, and prepare yourself for your next adventure. With an array of unique weapons, upgrade paths, powerful towers and crops to unlock, The Rabbit Haul offers countless playstyles to master!
“With The Rabbit Haul we wanted to combine our love of relaxing cozy games with the strategy of tower defense titles and the random adventure of roguelikes,” said Titus Lo, game designer at Caldera Interactive. “We won the GDC 2024 Pitch competition for it, so it seems like there’s an appetite for The Rabbit Haul, and not just because the crops look tasty – though that helps!”

Two new tactical titles from Yogscast Games coming February 6th

Following a livestream announcement by Yogscast last Friday, Gamersky and Yogscast Games are excited to announce not one, but two new strategy games set to launch on Steam — February 6, 2025. From Yahzj Games, Border Pioneer challenges players to build a pixel metropolis and defend it from outside forces. Meanwhile, chx games’ Stray Path offers a feline FreeCell take on the roguelike deckbuilder. Both games will be available on Steam next month.

As the saying goes, if you build it, they will come… and try to knock it down. The perfect blend of city-builder and tower defense, Border Pioneer gives players the opportunity to forge the fortresses of their dreams, and watch it all crash and burn before their eyes. 

In deliciously nostalgic pixel style, this upcoming strategy game offers an array of treacherous terrains, diverse foes and unforeseen dangers to discover as players expand their borders. As unchartered territories are claimed and enemies are vanquished, players are rewarded with new elements to help grow and fortify their settlements.

Not all cities are ruled from the top – sometimes the strings are being pulled from the seedy back alleys of the towns themselves. Stray Path takes players on a journey through dark roads and twisted forests, where every choice is crucial as they attempt to  find a way out amidst countless dangers and secrets.

From curious cats to buff beast tamers, players must select an adventurer and embark on their adventure. One by one, cards are flipped and the mysteries of the path ahead are revealed. Will there be treasure? Vicious adversaries? Or perhaps even a chance to run? Every decision has a consequence.

Gamersky and Yogscast Games will be bringing both exciting new titles to Steam on February 6, 2025. Both games will be available as part of a bundle at launch, offering players a 10% discount.

[TRAILER] In 14 Turns to Victory: Yield! Fall of Rome Brings Pure 4X Strategy

Daedalic Entertainment and Billionworlds are thrilled to present the official Showcase Trailer for Yield! Fall of Rome, the upcoming turn-based 4X strategy game launching into Early Access on January 20, 2025. The trailer highlights the game’s unique approach to the genre, offering fast-paced tactical gameplay and meaningful decisions at every turn.

Trailer Highlights:

  • Strategic Depth in Every Decision: Players take control of one of eight distinct factions, each vying for dominance in the tumultuous final days of the Roman Empire. Expand your dominion, conquer provinces, and immerse yourself in a dynamic game where every turn shapes the course of history.
  • Skirmish Gameplay Rundown: Watch as the Persian faction strategically establishes its economy, engages in tactical battles, and conquers rival territories. The trailer demonstrates how Yield! balances focused decision-making with expansive strategy.
  • Dynamic Campaigns: Players can engage with Romans as allies or enemies, adapting strategies based on alliances and rivalries. Witness the rise and fall of empires as every choice has a lasting impact.
  • Versatile Game Modes: Whether enjoying relaxed single-player campaigns or diving into competitive multiplayer, Yield! provides fully customizable skirmishes and weekly time-limited challenges for diverse gameplay experiences.

Yield! Fall of Rome brings a fresh perspective to the 4X strategy genre, inspired by classics like Civilization and Battle for Polytopia. With its accessible mechanics, strategic depth, and quick-paced gameplay, Yield! ensures that every match is as rewarding as it is intense.

Designed for Steam Deck
Take the full 4X experience with you wherever you go. With its emphasis on impactful choices and engaging gameplay, Yield! feels right at home on the Steam Deck, delivering the depth and strategic variety of a 4X game without requiring endless hours to appreciate.

Yield! Fall of Rome: The 4X Game That Won’t Keep You Waiting

If you’ve ever grown impatient waiting for your workers to build a scout in 7 turns, Yield! Fall of Rome is the game for you. Forget endless micromanagement—every turn offers exciting decisions and impactful actions. Lead legendary tribes such as the Britons, Huns, and Franks against the all-mighty Romans, and dive straight into the heart of the action as you shape the destiny of the ancient world.

As one player put it: “After playing Yield! I realized how slow other games can feel. In Yield!, every turn matters, and I didn’t have to waste time waiting to make big moves.”

Build Empires, Conquer Foes, Rewrite History

In Yield! Fall of Rome, you’ll step into the shoes of a barbarian leader during the twilight of the Roman Empire. Choose from 8 unique factions, each offering distinct gameplay styles and challenges. Whether through diplomacy, warfare, or strategic cunning, carve out your empire and bring glory to your tribe.

Key features include:

  • Focused, fast 4X Gameplay: Dive into the action immediately with streamlined mechanics that prioritize strategy over waiting.
  • Dynamic Campaigns: Explore procedurally generated maps and embark on bite-sized campaigns where no two games are the same.
  • Accessible Yet Deep: Intuitive mechanics make it easy to start, while advanced strategies reward skilled players.
  • Multiplayer Options: Play solo, cooperatively, or competitively with asynchronous multiplayer modes offering flexibility and fun.

Why Yield! Stands Out

Yield! Fall of Rome combines the best of traditional 4X gameplay with a modern twist: fast, engaging sessions without the grind. It’s been called “the child of Civilization and Battle for Polytopia,” bringing the best of both worlds into a uniquely immersive experience.
