A pixel-art RPG built for 8-player co-op
Dimraeth is a fantasy RPG from small studio Mudtek that launched into Steam Early Access on September 15, 2026. It's built around handcrafted pixel art, letting you build a hero from 8 races and 6 classes, then take on its world solo or with up to 8 players in co-op.
What's in the early access build
- 8 playable races and 6 classes to mix and match
- Souls-like combat layered with elemental spellcasting
- A persistent stronghold you build up as you play
- Online co-op for up to 8 players, or solo
Why it's trending right now
Barely a week after launch, Dimraeth landed on Steam's weekly trending list with close to 19,000 new followers. User reviews have settled at "Very Positive," with about 80% of over 1,000 reviews so far coming back positive. It's currently priced at $19.79, a 10% discount off its $21.99 early access list price.
Who it's for
If you liked the co-op base-building loop of games like Valheim or V Rising but want tighter, souls-like combat wrapped in an isometric pixel-art shell, Dimraeth is worth wishlisting while it works through early access.
Our take
Dimraeth landing on the trending list this fast is a decent signal that the co-op survival-RPG crowd is hungry for something with more teeth than base-building alone -- pairing that loop with actual souls-like combat is the smarter bet than most early access clones try. The real test is whether Mudtek, a small team, can keep content coming without the stronghold stuff turning into padding once the novelty wears off. Worth watching over its first few content patches before fully trusting the "Very Positive" tag to hold.
