Live Lens Bodycam
Steam Store Page:Live footage
A CQB simulator. You’ll play as a SWAT officer and experience it through a body camera, similar to that of a body camera. Here, you’ll take on dangerous missions, whether it’s a hostage-taking, a drug raid, or an armed robbery. The action appears incredibly realistic through a special camera perspective: a shaky first-person view, glare effects from flashlights, and real radio calls designed to create a tense atmosphere. The game offers PvE missions against AI criminals, as well as a PvP mode in which two SWAT teams face off against each other on a city map. It is worth mentioning that although the title is Chinese, this game only supports English and does not support Chinese Simplified.
NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound
Steam Store Page:NINJA GAIDEN:
Ragebound
A horizontal board game. Produced by the Blasphemous of God development team, this game combines the world view and gameplay of the Ninja Gaiden series from the Tecmo FC era with the depth and tension of the modern 3D version.

The game introduces a dual-character system, a new female ninja named Kumori, and challenging boss battles.

Commander
Another CQB simulator. In this tactical shooting game, you will lead a police special force to fight felons. Whether you’re leading an AI squad alone or in a team of up to four players, you’ll need to plan every action meticulously: equip your squad with weapons, body armor, and special gear before the mission begins. Then raid buildings, rescue hostages, and subdue suspects – of course, obeying the rules as much as possible to avoid collateral damage.
Mecharashi
Steam Store Page:Mecharashi
A mecha-themed SRPG (turn-based strategy) game. The domestic mecha SRPG is now coming to Steam and has been authorized by the SE classic IP “Frontline Mission”. You’ll command a powerful mech formation that can be freely assembled and equipped before each mission. What makes the game unique is its meticulous component destruction system: limbs or weapon systems that can target and destroy enemy mechs to paralyze them – and of course, must protect your own units from such damage.
Friday (August 1)
Prospector
Steam Store Page:Prospector
An intergalactic sandbox building game. This game combines open world survival and base construction with similarAlien Factory” automation combined. As the Prospector, as the title suggests, you are commissioned by the interstellar colonies to mine resources in unknown worlds and deliver them to your employer. You land on a colorful but hostile planet and start by building a small base. From there, explore the surroundings in the company of your helpful robot companion who will help you in resource gathering and defense. Soon, your outpost will develop into an automated factory, and of course, a lot of conveyor belts will be indispensable.
The Steam platform is wonderful, whether it’s the tranquil world of hobbits, the dangerous mechs and ninjas, or the often exciting SWAT simulation, there’s something for everyone.
