The Indie Bundle Mega Thread

It has an impressive first 30 minutes, than it declines into arguably Spider's most polished yet most boring game.

Also, it has BioWarian romances.

 

[Zewp]

What felipepe said. Mars: War Logs is arguably better if you're in the mood for a Spider game.

When you buy a game in a bundle like that, you do not 'support' it. Unless by 'support' you mean 'publisher can now brag how many copies they sold, while omitting how many of them were sold for 37 cents each'.

Humble Bundle allows you to set who gets what. I wish other bundle sites would do the same.

Ravenmark: Scourge of Estellion looks interesting, anyone tried it?

 

[Siveon]

I actually beta-tested that one, and own it on my iPhone. It's essentially a TBS game centered around unit formations with Fire Emblem-like rock paper scissors balance (one unit fights better against a certain kind of unit while it gets owned by a third, with a few outliers like the archers who can't fight head to head but can do ranged damage). I think, while clunky, the tactics/level design behind it is solid but it plays like a mobile port. Buttons are too big, I believe I actually had to drag the screen to move through the fluff text with my mouse.

They might've fixed the UI but I dunno. Might be worth the $4 if you can stand it (I only got it for $1).

– Blaster Simulator (Steam)

– The Archetype (Steam)
– 1st AGE

First Dorkensang is so boring the first recommended game below is Pillows of Ethernal

waitaminute

It's basically a less polished Neverwinter Nights 2 with a less familiar system. It's not bad, maybe get it on discount if you already have NWN2

You should probably mention that the price of this glorious bundle is 50 cents.

Drakensang is a boring game, but it's quite sad to see it like that, being sold alongside shitty mobile flash games, hidden object games and "muh-first-3D-game" shovelware for a few cents...

Even the trailer makes it look like absolute garbage.

I agree. It's not particularly exciting, but I don't regret playing it and had no problems with finishing the game. And I have no qualms with just stopping if I find a game boring. The very end took a bit of persuasion.

 

[felipepepe]

I actually had some fun for the first 1-2 hours, happily excited by my huge character screen and all those The Dark Eye stats & skill... but then I started to notice that you never got to use them...

As MicoSelva said, "good systems, boring content".

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Drakensang is played strictly for the hot chicks. That said, it's a very "classical" game, as our review puts it.

New Humble Bundle https://www.humblebundle.com/deep-silver-bundle-2

 

[Baron Dupek]

$1
– Sacred 3 Gold
– Risen
– Risen 2: Dark Waters Gold Edition
– Saints Row 2
– Dead Island: Game of the Year Edition

~$3.28
– Dead Island: Riptide – Complete Edition
– Killer is Dead – Nightmare Edition
– Saints Row: The Third – The Full Package
– 75% off Dead Island Definitive Edition

$13+
– Saints Row IV
– Risen 3 Titan Lords

Even single dorra for S3 is ripoff, game is massive garbage but I still wait for their new game (forgot the name now).

That promo for Dead Island Definitive Editon is weird? I mean - you have original game then you already have discount (iirc it's -85%?) which work for the next few weeks?

 

[Metro]

$3 tier is fine if you don't have SR3. $1 is great if only the first Risen.

 

[Baron Dupek]

Actually that -75% is for Dead Island Definitive Edition Collection. BUT if you buy them separate (these Definitive one) on Steam when you get basic one - you will pay only $6, while this coupon let you do this for $10.
Whateve,r they're boring

 

[Gord]

Lol, the Dead Island games are region locked and not available for me (not that I'm interested, but still).

Will probably pay one eurobuck for R1+2, however.

 

[Metro]

Wow... Sacred 3 is even worse than I thought. Sympathies to anyone to pay more than $1 for it.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Sacred 3 is even worse than I thou

What's so bad about it? Was thinking of picking it up...

 

[Snorkack]

Imagine a Diablo, but without any Itemization whatsoever.

Still bought, didn't have the Risens yet.

Console controls, plays horribly with M+K. Characters aren't very distinct. Each has a basic melee attack (except the one dude who has ranged) and two special attacks. There's like three or so different special attacks per slot but you have to level up to gain access to them so I can't really tell you how different they are from each other. It's just a very generic game with very shallow mechanics. The derpy humor is also insufferable at times.

New old Ubisoft bundle https://www.humblebundle.com/ubisoft-bundle-encore


I'm not touching this, but if anyone has an additional Gunslinger code, I wouldn't mind taking that burden of their chest.

 

[Siveon]

Yeeesh, the only good game in that bundle is Rayman. Maybe Gunslinger but I never played it.

Yeah, but Rayman is Uplay or whatever the name is, so it's a no-go.
