Dungeonborne is a multiplayer dungeon crawler game developed by Mithril Interactive. The game resembles an “extraction shooter”, except it is set in a fantasy world. Therefore, you will not see any actual guns in the game; the niche of long-range combat is occupied by bows and spells. And for close-ranged combat, of course, there are swords, axes, and knives. There are many other weapons in the game as well – as this is just a brief overview – which also feature tons of modifiers. The builds can thus get complex, and looting becomes incredibly satisfying. Loot isn’t the only thing that determines your build, either; Dungeonborne features eight distinct classes. There are your typical melee-focused classes like Fighter and Rogue, support classes like Priest, and magic-based classes like Pyromancer. Compared to Dark and Darker, Dungeonborne is more fun, more engaging, and extremely friendly towards f2p players! That’s right, you can play this game without paying a dime, and you wouldn’t even be restricted in any meaningful way. There’s only one catch: the game doesn’t have a native macOS version. But even this issue can be easily resolved. Several ways to play Dungeonborne on Mac are listed in the guide below.

Nobody Wants to Die is a first-person detective game developed by Critical Hit Games. Explore the futuristic world where immortality is common, and death is a thing of the past… generally speaking. Tragic accidents and murders still happen, and – since you are a detective – it’s your job to stop the latter. You utilize advanced technology and even time travel to resolve the cases, but this one will prove to be tricky nonetheless. That said, Nobody Wants to Die heavily prioritizes story over gameplay, so even the hardest puzzles are not especially challenging. This should not be taken as a criticism of the game – story-driven games can deliver superb experiences – but it’s worth keeping this in mind to avoid disappointment. Right now, the game is available only on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Windows PC, but there are some unofficial ways to play it on Mac as well. Read this short article to learn more.

ASKA is a base-builder survival game developed by Sand Sailor Studio. You will be responsible for the wellbeing of a Viking tribe. To do that, you will need to manage resources and food, construct structures, train villagers, and do many other things. You are also able to work and fight alongside NPC villagers in first-person mode; though it not necessary, it’s a great way to improve your immersion. ASKA is generally a grounded game, and most threats you will face will also be realistic, such as harsh weather, wild animals, and bandits. But it’s actually set in a fantasy world. You may be able to find mythical structures, encounter otherworldly enemies, and even face an ancient evil – if you actively pursue such things. Since the world is fully procedurally generated, you will never run out of opportunities for adventure. You can even choose to play alongside your friends in four-person co-op mode. At the moment, this game is available only on Microsoft Windows, but there are several unofficial ways to play ASKA on Mac. Learn more by reading the guide below.

The Descendant is an episodic adventure game developed by Gaming Corps, set in a post-apocalyptic world where the remnants of humanity are preserved in underground Ark facilities. Players assume the role of “Janitors,” who are responsible for maintaining these facilities and ensuring the survival of the “Descendants” in cryogenic stasis. The game combines narrative-driven gameplay with puzzle-solving elements, offering a cinematic experience with high production values and a compelling storyline. In June 2024, The Descendant experienced a resurgence in popularity due to several factors. Nostalgia and retrospective interest played a significant role, as gaming communities often revisit older titles, and The Descendant’s unique narrative and episodic structure attracted renewed attention. Additionally, increased visibility through streaming platforms like Twitch and YouTube, where content creators and streamers showcased the game to new audiences, contributed to its popularity. Promotional events, such as inclusion in sales events or being featured on platforms like Steam, also boosted the game’s visibility and player base. Regarding compatibility with Apple Silicon Macs (M1, M2, M3), The Descendant is playable on these devices. The game has a macOS version that can run natively on Intel-based Macs, and for Apple Silicon Macs, it can be run using Rosetta 2, which translates Intel-based applications to run on ARM architecture. This translation layer allows many Intel-based macOS applications to run on Apple Silicon with minimal performance loss, and The Descendant should run smoothly using Rosetta 2, given its relatively modest system requirements. Another option is using CrossOver, which allows Windows applications to run on macOS, useful if the native macOS version encounters any issues.
