Wildfrost is a roguelike card battler game developed by Deadpan Games and published by Chucklefish. True to its name, this game is set in a world plagued by eternal winter; your character intends to change that. As you venture out into the snowy wasteland, you will have to face many foes; to deal with them, you will have to use two types of cards. There are item cards, which can be played to deal damage, heal, apply a status effect, and so on. There are also companion cards, which allow you to summon companions you’ve recruited. Once summoned, the companions will attack every few turns – just like your enemies. Keep track of the countdowns, and you’ll be able to prepare for enemy attacks more often than not; this will help you die less often. However, death isn’t really bad in roguelites. Between runs, you’ll be developing a city called Snowdwell; doing so will let you unlock new cards, cosmetics, and events. Since this game lacks a macOS version, you will need a workaround to play Wildfrost on Mac. Read our guide to learn about third-party apps that can be used for this purpose.

Beneath Oresa is a deck-building roguelike game developed by Broken Spear Incorporated. Though the genre is fairly saturated with games, Beneath Oresa has several unique mechanics that help the game stand out. Most importantly, this is a tactical game, not a pure card battler. Fights take place on a map, and positioning is important. Stacking “shield” buff is not the only way to protect yourself from attacks; you can simply move out of the way. Of course, you still need to utilize cards to do most things; this is a deck-builder, after all. Beneath Oresa also has a choice-based upgrade system; every card has two upgrade options instead of just one. It makes cards more flexible, but it also makes upgrades more interesting; you’ll have to consider which version of the card will work better with your deck. All things considered, if you’re into deck-building games, Beneath Oresa might be worth checking out. Unfortunately, it’s a Windows-only game; the developers chose not to support Mac computers. However, you may be able to play Beneath Oresa on Mac anyway. Read the guide below to learn about your options.

Relic Hunters Legend is a twin-stick shooter game developed by Rogue Snail, a Brazilian game studio. The game was designed to be played co-operatively, in teams of up tp 4 players; however, there is a solo option available as well. You – perhaps together with your friends – will embark on an adventure to dethrone Duke Ducan, an evil dictator controlling an entire galaxy. His regime spreads false narratives about the past, giving Ducan credit for good things he did not commit and erasing records of his atrocities. This is where our brave group of heroes comes in. The Relic Hunters are determined to uncover the truth about the past by combing through ancient ruins, and expose Duke Ducan as the tyrant that he really is. Of course, this will not be a walk in the park; you will be opposed by Ducan’s secret police, but also by various ancient mechanisms. Even though the game is still in Early Access, it’s worth checking out. However, you will need to use a third-party program to play Relic Hunters Legend on Mac; it is not officially available on the platform. But it’s not difficult; we’ll explain everything in the guide below.

Paleo Pines is a farming sim game developed by Italic Pig and published by Modus Games. The game’s quirk – and it’s main selling point – are dinosaurs.

Fate/Samurai Remnant is an Action-RPG in the popular Fate franchise. Developed jointly by TYPE-MOON and KOEI TECMO, this game is a re-imagination of the classic “Holy Grail War” event the franchise is famous for. This time, it is called “the Waxing Moon Ritual”, and takes place in medieval Japan (specifically, during the Edo period). But the idea remains the same; seven mages, called Masters, summon legendary heroes from the past, called Servants. Then, these Master-Servant pairs fight to have their wish granted by a powerful magical artifact. Curiously, you will be controlling both the Master and the Servant during battles. Though combat is the main part of the game, you will also be able to explore various historical locations and interact with the people who live there. Fate/Samurai Remnant is available to play on several platforms, including Windows, Switch, and PlayStation, but not including Mac. Even so, you should be able to play Fate/Samurai Remnant on Mac; several third-party programs can be used to sidestep the compatibility issue. Read the guide below for a more detailed explanation.

Time Wasters is a bullet heaven game developed and published by Proton Studio. In this space-themed roguelite, you will have to assume the control of a spaceship and fend off waves of enemies. There are 12 playable characters in this game, called Captains. All of them have a unique primary weapon and several unique upgrades; as a result, they feel very different from each other. The survival game mode features fairly short runs, around five to ten minutes in length. This can be both an upside or a downside, depending on your outlook. Additionally, Time Wasters features Loyalty Challenges, exceptionally difficult missions that are restricted to a specific Captain. These challenges will be hard even if you purchase all meta-progression upgrades; you’ll need both these upgrades and your skill as a player to complete them. Overall, Time Wasters is a game worth playing, especially considering its low price. However, you may have noticed that it is not available on Mac. But don’t let such pesky inconveniences trouble you; with the right tool, you can play Time Wasters on Mac anyway. Keep reading for an overview of your options.

Vintage Story is a survival game developed by Anego Studios. The game is both sandbox and open-world in nature; there is no story or forced objectives. The world you’ll be surviving in does have a complex background, but you’ll be able to piece it all together at your own pace, or ignore it completely if you so choose. Similarly, even though the game doesn’t force you to advance in any particular way, there are plenty of goals to pursue, such as the development of metalworking and automation. Getting stuff done will be pretty hard, though, as Vintage Story can be pretty unforgiving at times. By having realistic survival mechanics (for example, you’ll have to keep track of your body temperature), as well as paranormal threats, the game ensures that even staying alive is a challenge. The game advertises itself as “fully playable on Windows and Linux”, but Mac is not an officially available option. To play Vintage Story on Mac, a third-party tool is required; read the guide below to learn more.

Beyond: Two Souls is a story-based adventure game developed and published by Quantic Dream. The protagonist of the game is Jodie Holmes, a seemingly unremarkable girl. Of course, this is not actually true; Jodie has a psychic connection to a strange supernatural being named Aiden, who never leaves her side and lets her see things that others can’t. Unfortunately, this power managed to attract the attention of certain unscrupulous scientists; Jodie will have a lot of challenges to face in the future. During the gameplay, you will be able to play as both Jodie and Aiden. Jodie, on the account of having a physical body, will be going around, exploring, and talking to people, while Aiden will help her using supernatural powers. This unique relationship makes the game perfectly suited for a co-op mode; you can play alone or with a friend. Beyond: Two Souls is available on PS3, PS4, and Windows. As you can see, there is no official Mac version, but there are several ways to get around this. Learn how to play Beyond: Two Souls on Mac by reading our guide.
