Genre-blending space combat FPS Angels Fall First re-launches hard and fast into 2018

A complex blend of genres, including vehicular combat, starfighter piloting, capital ship command and planetside infantry tactics, and an indie online multiplayer game to boot? It sounds like a fools errand, but Strangely Interactive haven't given up on their wildly ambitious hybrid FPS Angels Fall First in nearly a decade, and their perseverance has paid off this week.

Currently featured on the Steam front page and accompanied by a steep sale and a slick new trailer, the game now boasts a multitude of well-populated online servers. Proof that even in this post-greenlight era, getting featured by Valve still means a lot for indie developers.

A lot of games on our Best Of Indies list got launched into the limelight by being featured on Steam. it's interesting to see how Valve's percieved value has waned since the days of Spelunky and Hotline Miami.

While a concurrent player count on Steamcharts of just over 1000 isn't anything inherently amazing, it's a marked improvement on its original Steam launch peak of 269 players back in the September of 2015, and the game has seen an astonishing amount of tuning and polishing since its original release, although not enough to take it out of Early Access quite yet.
