PIXELA 1-8 player fantasy RPG set in a handcrafted pixel world. Build your hero across 8 races and 6 classes. Explore ancient lands, master elemental combat, forge r
Dimraeth is on Steam in Early Access at $19.79, with a 10% launch discount at the time of writing. It is a co-op fantasy RPG for up to eight players in a handcrafted pixel world.
One to eight players
The range is unusual. Most co-op RPGs settle on four; supporting one through eight means it has to work solo and hold together at party sizes where co-ordination usually falls apart.
Eight races, six classes
That is forty-eight combinations before you account for how you play them. Mudtek have built character creation as a real system rather than a cosmetic step, which suits a game expecting repeat runs with different groups.
Elemental combat and a stronghold
Two systems are called out specifically: mastering elemental combat, and shaping a stronghold. The second is the one that tends to keep co-op groups returning — a shared base gives a session a purpose beyond the next dungeon.
Early Access, and priced near full
At nearly twenty dollars this is the most expensive release in this batch, and it is unfinished. That is a fair trade if the co-op works and the group is there, and a poor one if either is missing — worth checking recent reviews before committing.

$19.79 at the time of writing, Early Access, from Mudtek.
Eight players is an unusual target
Most co-op RPGs cap at four because that is where encounter design stays manageable. Doubling it means either encounters built for eight, which makes small groups struggle, or scaling, which often makes large groups trivial.
Mudtek supporting one through eight suggests scaling. Whether it holds at both ends is the thing to test — a game that works solo and at full party is genuinely rare.
The stronghold is the retention mechanic
Elemental combat gets you through the first evening. A shared base that the group improves together is what brings people back on a Thursday, because progress persists and belongs to everyone rather than to whoever showed up.
At twenty dollars in Early Access this is the most expensive thing in this batch and the least finished. That combination only makes sense if you already have the group to play it with.
Relationships are a listed system
Mudtek call out forging relationships alongside combat and building. In a game supporting up to eight players that is an unusual emphasis — most co-op RPGs treat NPCs as quest dispensers because the party is the social layer.
Combined with the handcrafted pixel world and a stronghold to shape, it suggests a game that wants you to settle somewhere rather than clear it and move on. Whether that survives contact with a full group of eight is the open question.
