Top 10 BEST NEW Indie Games of April 2020
Get Indie Gaming’s April lineup skips the big-budget noise and goes straight for ten titles worth clearing your schedule for.
Every month, the channel Get Indie Gaming runs down the independent releases it thinks deserve attention before they hit shelves, and the April 2020 edition is no different. The video, titled “Top 10 BEST NEW Indie Games of April 2020,” counts down ten upcoming titles landing across PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One throughout the month. It’s built as a release guide, not a retrospective — pointing players toward what’s arriving next rather than grading what already shipped.
- Beard Envy’s sci-fi puzzle game “Filament” lands at the #10 spot in the countdown, highlighted at timestamp 0:17.
- Arcoplanet and Klabater’s historical survival management title “Help Will Come Tomorrow” takes the #9 slot, featured at timestamp 1:27.
- Joe Richardson’s Renaissance-art adventure “The Procession to Calvary” ranks #8, shown at timestamp 3:03.
A Countdown Built for Release-Day Planning
Get Indie Gaming structures the video the way most of its monthly roundups work: a straight ten-to-one countdown, each entry paired with a quick pitch on what makes the game worth tracking and a timestamp so viewers can jump straight to the pick they care about. That format matters for indie coverage specifically, since smaller studios rarely get the marketing push AAA publishers do, and a lot of these titles would otherwise slip past players scanning storefronts. For a broader sense of what else was hitting shelves that month, the channel’s companion rundown of Top 10 NEW Games of April 2020 covers the bigger releases sharing the calendar.
The Sci-Fi Puzzle Box at #10
“Filament,” from developer Beard Envy, opens the countdown at #10. It’s a puzzle game wrapped in a science-fiction shell, and the video flags it right at the 0:17 mark as the entry point for the list — a signal that even the lowest-ranked pick still earned its place among ten.
Survival in Siberia’s Cold at #9
Climbing one spot to #9 is “Help Will Come Tomorrow,” a historical survival management game from Arcoplanet, published by Klabater. The pick surfaces at timestamp 1:27 in the countdown, positioned as a management-survival hybrid rather than a straightforward action title — the kind of slower-burn strategy game that tends to get buried under bigger April releases if nobody points it out first.
Three slots, three genres: a sci-fi puzzle box, a historical survival grind, and a Renaissance painting come to life.
Renaissance Comedy at #8
At #8, timestamp 3:03, sits “The Procession to Calvary” from solo developer Joe Richardson. The adventure game builds its world out of Renaissance-era artwork, turning classical paintings into an interactive comedy setting — a distinctive enough visual approach that it stands out even against the rest of an already varied top ten. Players tracking console-specific release calendars can cross-check the month’s PlayStation output against the wider list in Top 30 NEW PS4 Games of 2020.
The countdown keeps going from there, working its way from #7 down to the channel’s #1 pick for the month, but the throughline across the confirmed entries — a puzzle game, a survival sim, and an art-house adventure — gives a good read on how wide Get Indie Gaming casts its net for April. Anyone deciding what to add to a Switch or PC wishlist before the month’s releases actually drop has three confirmed, timestamped starting points to work from.
