Isle Goblin, a 2D top-down survival game from solo developer Matt at Kilowatt Games and published by Fireshine Games and Pocketpair Publishing, casts players as goblins retaking Goblin Island from humans, with up to 8-player online co-op and a Steam open test running since October 9, 2026. Terra Taker, a Dream Craft open-world terraforming survival game shown at the Korea Pavilion booth, tasks a robot with reshaping a harsh fantasy planet.","whyItMatters":"Both demos are playable with Japanese support, and Isle Goblin's Steam open test is already live, so the directory is pointing its readers at games they can try now rather than distant releases.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe two picks share a framing: reclaiming ground from something that took it. In Isle Goblin the humans have wrecked the goblins\u0026#39; home, leaving broken buildings and damaging sludge around the starting point, and the demo opens on that destruction before the resource gathering begins. Combat mixes weapons with dodge rolls, and human dwellings are lootable like any other node.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTerra Taker inverts the survival loop toward expansion. The robot lead carries a battery gauge alongside health, which keeps early exploration close to the base until facilities extend the range.
