Bringing together two of my favourites genres. Monster catching and survivor-like bullet heaven, Wildkeepers Rising seems like it's going to be awesome. I thought that the idea of Temtem: Swarm sounded good, but Wildkeepers Rising appears to push the idea much further into a bigger game (and with a vastly different style).
Announced today from Lioncode Games who also made Mech Armada released back in 2022.
Wildkeepers Rising will give you the ridiculous over-the-top and ever-increasing power from the survivor-like boom, while also giving you a creature collection of friends to join you in combat. Check out the trailer:

From the press release:
“We’ve seen survivor games adopt some twists since the original recipe, integrating mining, guns, and god boons; Wildkeepers further innovates by adding adorable creature collecting and party synergy to the dopamine rush and replayability of games like Vampire Survivors or Death Must Die” – Sergio Garces, Lioncode Games Director.
“I’m combining cues and inspiration from my favorite anime and fantasy titles to make these monsters as fun and whimsical as I can. Classic arcade beat-em-ups are hugely influential on our character roster as well–we’re a small team, so we’re working hard to create a love letter to our influences that inspired us to want to create.” – Lyle Moore, Art Director.
You can follow it on the Steam page. I am 100% going to be checking this one out, so I'll let you know how it runs with Valve's Proton.
