Frayed Knights is in this new Indie Royale bundle: http://www.indieroyale.com/?royale=214

I have no idea about the other games but snagging Frayed Knights for $2.30 is a good deal.

You mean "Frayed Knights + other stuff" is a good deal.

I had a go at Frayed Knights through an older bundle deal, and was sadly disappointed. Yes, it does a lot of things *right* for an RPG, but at the same time there is far too much grinding through the same mobs over and over again, to the point that it became a chore playing onwards. I just gave up. I'll rather have a go at Bard's Tale (Hi 1986, I've missed you!) than try to play Frayed Knights again.

I love me some Worms but I would recommend just getting Worms Armageddon instead which is also on sale at the moment, sweet lady luck smiles indeed. WA comes with optional fan-made tweaks and works perfect on Windows 7. It's still as good as it ever was and it can still be played online.

Worms Reloaded: one of those decline incarnate games. Worse than W2, WA and WWP in every aspect, this game screams "I'm a port of an Xbox live game", if you're a "Worms veteran" everything will feel limited and weird and the game has terrible netcode to boot, WR was basically unplayable thanks to regular disconnects even when playing with RL friends who live less than 25km away.
Worms Ultimate Mayhem: one of the much lamented 3D Worms games + this is the truly awful 2011 port. This -new version of the game- has very bad mouse controls, was (is?) capped at 30fps and is a glitchy, bug-ridden mess.
Worms 1: I loved this one back in the day and it remains a fun game to revisit once in a while but it pales in comparison to W2, WA and WWP. Also this is just a quick and easy DosBox release.
Worms Blast: never cared much for this Puzzle Bobble clone but it does run on my W7 machine...
Worms Pinball: mediocre pinball game, doesn't work properly on most modern machines, T17 never bothered to look into compatibility problems, they ignore the game's Steam forum.
Worms Crazy Golf: runs on the WR engine and can actually be pretty fun but it doesn't have online MP , all in all a decent Worms spinoff.


edit: I reinstalled Worms Ultimate Mayhem and it looks like they removed the framerate cap, the game still runs very poor though. Not too long ago I played Alien Isolation on this computer (1920x1080, high settings, constant 60fps) yet this port of a ps2 game struggles to run at 45fps. Mouse controls are still godawful.

They did find the time to create and release some DLC:

What's the Codex opinion on the humble bundle?

 

[Unkillable Cat]

I say 'wait for the 'TBA' games'.

 

[pippin]

If you don't have Torchlight 2 and like arpgs, you should get it. However, if you only want Torchlight 2, I'd say wait for the TBA games and then feed the beggars in the Beg Thread.

 

[Metro]

Good deal if you don't have TL2. Shit otherwise.

 

[tuluse]

La Mulana is a pretty cool game.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

It's a nice bundle but basically the only part of it I don't already have and would want would be Outlast. Humble's breaking my heart.

Keep an eye on Groupees' current be mine bundle https://groupees.com/bm18
It seems the next mystery game will be Drakensang: River of Time, and it's going to be available for US$4.

Does RoT significantly improve on the base game? I tried the demo of Drakensang and it was pretty terrible. IIRC Brother None praised it a lot in his Gamebanshee review.

And are any other games in that bundle worth two cents? I guess the Fighting Fantasy game could be fun for what it is. I think it's an adaptation of a book from the 80's.

 

[Modron]

Been awhile since I completed the River of Time, but it was just a far better designed game (nowhere near as dull as Drakensang could be at times), quests were better (still had the ability to side with different factions in several instances, but the quests were more interesting and in one case led to choosing between two npc companions), there were several different cities, less areas devoid of anything but combat, and probably other virtues I cannot recall.

Your mileage may vary of course but the general consensus here around its release was that it was a marked improvement over the first game and all in all a decent rpg game and yeah you should get it.

 

[CryptRat]

I don't know if it's the good thread for non-steam sales.

Drums of War is currently discounted.

http://www.slitherine.com/games/DoW_PC

I will probably buy it, but at this time I have only played the demo (which was good), so I can't say if it's a good game or not.
