Don the horns of the Minotaur in Minos

More On: Minos

So my son is currently addicted to the National Geographic podcast Greeking Out so I'm recently familiar with the legend of the Minotaur. But given this game is also a Devolver Digital release (don't they just publish some of the best games?) and that it kind of flips the script and puts you in the place of the monster, consider my interest piqued. 

Minos is a strategy game, a bit of a tower defense almost at heart, where the core gameplay loop seems as much in developing your labyrinth as it is triggering the traps. It's a bit of a roguelike as every run promises new enemies and new traps and of course you have your own choices as to how much you prefer to wind your interloping treasure seekers around into confusion or usher them into corridors of deadly traps. 

Minos will release sometime in 2026 on PC. Nothing firm has been pinned down yet for a date but the demo is available now on Steam.
