The Steam Next Fest is here once more, bringing with it multiple demos for players to try out. If you don't know where to start, then don't worry. Here are the top 10 game demos for players to try out during the June 2024 Steam Next Fest.

Top 10 June 2024 Steam Next Fest Games

There are a variety of games for players to try out, ranging from shooter games, to survival games, and more. Here are the ones we recommend (in no particular order)

10. Weyrdlets

Weyrdlets is a virtual pet game that actually has a release date of July 23, 2024. In it, players take care of, well, a virtual pet, taking care of its various needs such as food, shelter, cleanliness, and more.

What makes Weyrdlets interesting is that it's not just restricted to the game window itself, as players can bring their pets over to their desktops. That way, players will still be able to interact with their pets while doing other things like schoolwork, work, and the like.

If you want to take care of a cute pet, then Weyrdlets is a good game to try out this Steam Next Fest.

9. Goblin Cleanup

Goblin Cleanup is a first-person cleanup game that is quite similar to Viscera Cleanup Detail. In the game, players control Goblins, tasked with cleaning up a dungeon after a party of heroes has stormed through it.

Players must utilize various fantasy tools, such as a slime mop, a mana sphere (to charge and uncharge magical objects), and a mimic to clean up the blood, gore, and furniture that have been left strewn about.

Players must be careful, however, as traps are still functional, and dying to one not only inconveniences you, but also adds to the things that you will need to clean up.

8. REKA

REKA is a third-person exploration game that has a heavy emphasis on witchcraft. In the game, players take control of a beginner witch, who must learn the drops of how to, well, become a witch. Players will gather materials (using an army of crows), and use said materials to either build up their house, or create potions.

Also, did I mention that your house is built on the back of a giant walking chicken? One that you can control and walk around with to travel from one location to another? If that's not reason enough to try out this Steam Next Fest June 2024 demo, then I don't know what is.

6. Dungeons & Denegerate Gamblers

Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers is a roguelike deckbuilding game where players must, well, build a deck of cards. For what? For Blackjack, of course. If you've played and enjoyed games like Balatro (which I most definitely have), then this is a good Steam Next Fest June 2024 demo to try out.

Players abide by the Blackjack rules: Get as close to 21, and beat your opponents. To do so, players must build a perfect deck of cards, with cards that have special effects. Some allow you to switch cards with an opponent, while others provide healing or shielding.

It is up to you to create the deck of your dreams and beat everyone at Blackjack.

6. Intravenous 2

Intravenous 2 is the second main game in a series of hard-core stealth games. Think Hotline Miami, but with more stealth and less running in and bashing people's heads in (although you can do that as well).

Players follow the story of Sean and Steve, partners who are trying to both save lives and take vengeance. Played from a top-down perspective, players must sneak their way through the game's various level, picking locks, knocking people out, and making sure that the objective gets done.

Alternatively, players can also choose to just go in guns blazing. Whatever it is you try to do, remember that the game adapts to your playstyle, so it will only get harder and harder.

5. Tiny Glade

Tiny Glade is a relaxing sandbox game in which players can build their own mansions, castles, or walled villages. The best part is that you don't even need to do much to build them. Just select a tool (like a wall or path tool), and drag it across the screen.

The game automatically builds your castle walls, pathways, castles, houses, and more based on what you draw. Do you want a path that goes through the walls? You can make that. Want to add doors to your mansion? Just draw a path towards it.

The only limit in this game is your imagination, so try it out before the June 2024 Steam Next Fest ends.

4. Heat Death: Survival Train

Heat Death: Survival Train is a survival game with an interesting premise. You wake up and find yourself in a frozen wasteland. After following some tracks, you find yourself in a science station, as well as a train station that contains an empty electric train.

Using the materials that you find there, you must create a train that will help you get from station to station, equipping it with tools such as solar panels, guns, item synthesizers, and more. These will help you get from station to station, with the distance between each one ever increasing.

If you want to try your hand at creating trains, managing energy, and surviving in the cold, then this Steam next Fest 2024 demo is for you.

3. Dungeons of Hinterberg

Dungeons of Hinterberg is a third-person action RPG following the life of Luisa, a burnt-out law trainee who wanted to take a break from her corporate life. To do so, she decides to conquer the numerous Dungeons of Hinterberg.

The dungeons that the player will face are varied, ranging from snowing mountain dungeons, to swamp dungeons, and more. Each area, and by extension the dungeons they contain, have unique gameplay mechanics that will always spice up your adventures.

If you just want to explore and fight monsters in numerous dungeons, Dungeons of Hinterberg may be the game for you.

2. I Am Your Beast

I Am Your Beast is a fast-paced first-person shooter to the tune of Ultrakill and SUPER HOT. Players control retired secret agent Alphonse Hardin, who has decided that he has done enough for the Covert Operations Initiative (COI). Wanting only to live in peace, his quiet life is disturbed by the COI.

What follows is fast-paced gameplay of Harding using various weapons such as knives, pistols, shotguns, and even sticks to take down the operatives that the COI has sent after him. Players can either take their time with the missions, or run and gun it to try and get the fastest times possible.

If you want to go around shooting operatives to some pretty great music, then I Am Your Best is the Steam Next Fest 2024 game for you.

1. Tactical Breach Wizards

Tactical Breach Wizards is the latest entry in the genre of tactical military strategy games but with a twist: you're actually wizards, and the game is more comedy than anything else. Players take control of a squad of Wizards, who are fighting against time (literally) to stop a Chronomancer from wreaking havoc on the world.

The player's squad involves a Seer that can see what happens after the player's turn (allowing them to pick the best options),a storm witch that can knock enemies around with her magic, a necromedic that is the very definition of a pharmacist, and a heavily armored riot priest with faith and armor as her armor.

Filled with great gameplay and funny writing, Tactical Breach rounds off our top ten games to try out during the June 2024 Steam Next Fest.
