This Week in PC Games: Kernel Hearts, Fright Train, Sublight, and More New Releases

PC players looking for new experiences have a diverse selection of fresh titles and early access launches to explore this week. From tactical shooters starring dogs to roguelite sandships, the latest wave of computer games offers unconventional concepts across multiple genres.

For strategy fans, Dunebound Tactics introduces a roguelite sandship role-playing game featuring grid-based battles and a strong focus on manipulating the surrounding terrain. Meanwhile, players seeking real-time strategy without a lengthy buildup can look to Fleetbreakers, an early access roguelite real-time strategy title created by former developers of Halo Wars and Age of Empires. The game lets players roll a new mothership and supporting squadron during every run.

Action and survival enthusiasts have several unique projects to check out. Fright Train casts the player as a disdainful dog managing tactical shooting while keeping a massive Antarctic research train operational. In Sublight, players control a capital class roguelite bullet heaven inspired by intricate turret arrangements. Knuckle Jet is a sidescrolling action platformer where the protagonist has a rocket for a hand, bouncing through clockwork cities to stop a tycoon from exploiting local orphans. Additionally, Dimraeth enters early access as a mix of dungeon-robbing action role-playing and fortress building with multiplayer support for up to eight players.

Other notable PC titles arriving include Kernel Hearts, which invites players to become a god-slaying magical girl, and Concrete Burial, a first-person dungeon crawler from Dread XP featuring a gun that drinks player blood. Fans of narrative and puzzle adventures can also explore Paratopic: Overdub, a twisting remaster, remix, and sequel, alongside Roman Sands RE:Build, a shape-shifting absurdist adventure set between a violet tropical resort and a ravaged zoological research facility.
