Top 5 Korean Indie Games

These are games from small studios that are easy to miss under big publishers' marketing. We picked them so no two share a genre, and filled all ten slots. · Updated 2026-10-15

  1. 1
    SANABI

    SANABI

    Grappling action platformer · 원더포션 (Wonder Potion) · 2023 · PC · Switch

    A 2D action game where you swing through the air with a chain arm, following a retired soldier who chases the secret of 'SANABI' after losing his daughter. Its satisfying grappling action and twist-filled story earned it an 'Overwhelmingly Positive' rating on Steam.

    An adventure-management game where you catch fish in the Blue Hole by day and run a sushi restaurant by night. Made by MINTROCKET, a Nexon subsidiary, so it isn't strictly indie, but it won fans with its indie spirit — and a mobile version arrived in September 2026.
