One of the year's more unusual indie pitches is playable today. PROHIBEAST, publisher SUPER AC's real-time tactical infiltration game, launches June 3, 2026 on PC via Steam, swapping run-and-gun action for patience, observation and careful squad coordination.
Prohibition, with claws
The premise is the draw. PROHIBEAST is set in a stylized, anthropomorphic 1930s Chicago where carnivores and herbivores live side by side and meat itself has become an outlawed commodity. Al Capone has built a sprawling black market around the banned goods, and you take command of Eliot Ness and his Untouchables, striking from the shadows to dismantle the empire from within. It is a clever reframing of the classic Prohibition-era crime story, and the noir-soaked art direction sells the mood from the first frame.
Strategy over firepower
Played from a top-down, isometric perspective, PROHIBEAST rewards planning over brute force. You scout patrol routes, read enemy behavior, position your team and use the environment to take down targets quietly before the whole block knows you were there. Dynamic situations mean a blown approach forces you to improvise in real time rather than reload, and the emphasis on squad management gives each operation the feel of a heist gone according to (or wildly off) plan. For fans of methodical tactics games with a strong sense of place, it is an easy one to keep an eye on.
