TurnBasedLovers have published a new article about 10 Indie RPGs & Strategy Games in Early Access.
The most interesting games for us on this list are probably Dorfromantik, a turn-based landscape/village builder and Rising Lords, a turn-based medieval kingdom-builder. The rest of the list is certainly worth a look too though.
