Sale itself is alive, but its banner was removed from the frontpage.

Maybe games forum and reviews were mass trolled by shitlords ?

Ah okay. Yeah, it seems to gone from the front page. It's not there even if you access it as various western countries.

Oh right, I think its front page placement is replaced by new daily deals, no other reasons. Front page placement for daily deals runs 24 hours regardless of the actual duration of discounts. (And it's not unusual that this kind of themed daily deals go longer than usual 48 hours.)

Anyone played this?

Played a preview build on Gamescom a couple of years ago. Was very meh.

You only control one character at a time in combat. The other is AI-controlled, NWN-style. You can always switch to that character, but then the one you just switched from will be AI controlled. Which means your characters will constantly use their cooldown-based abilities even when you want them to save them up, and when you see an opportunity to hit an enemy with all your best abilities simultaneously... yep, you can't because the AI used them a couple of seconds ago and they haven't recharged yet. I don't think there was any way of preventing the AI from doing whatever it wants, so it's kinda like playing NWN with companions. Not a very fun way to design combat.

The story is completely linear, JRPG style. No open exploration, no sidequests, just following a linear path with no straying from it.

A resounding "meh" from me. I guess it's nice if you like linear JRPGs and if you can stand bad RTwP combat where your companions are AI-controlled retards.

Ten Thousand Coins, "a story-driven merchant adventure":

Ten Thousand Coins is a story-driven merchant adventure that will test your sense of strategy and empathy as you make tough decisions for a fox merchant girl aiming to save the life of a loved one.

Moral Choices and Conflict - A heavy emphasis is put into the consequences of the actions you take, reintroducing a humanising element into the trading game genre. For example, would you help a merchant back on their feet and make a new friend, but potentially lose out on a profitable deal, or ignore their cries for help to make sure you come out on top? Would you smuggle illicit goods for some easy coins, despite the negative effects it could have on a town's inhabitants? As you make these choices, you are also pitted against time to save a loved one, creating a sense of urgency to amass as many coins as possible.

Bartering System - More than just buying and selling with currency, Ten Thousand Coins features a system where you can barter goods directly with other traders. Depending on the trader's mood and what each trader needs, different items can have a higher value, therefore knowing what item to offer and when to offer them is the key to a successful trade.

Features Include:
  • An immersive and character-focused storyline.
  • Make tough choices between altruism and materialism.
  • Various colourful characters and side stories to discover and complete to further build the world's narrative.
  • Many cities and towns to explore, trade, and build a reputation with.
  • A crisp hand-drawn anime-inspired art style.
  • Hundreds of unique items to use and trade.
  • Random encounters in the wilderness and challenging enemies to battle against.
  • Hire various convoys to aid you on your adventure.
  • Multiple story endings depending on choices made throughout the story.
  • Two different game modes: Story Mode and Challenge Mode.

Game graphics and audio are stylized for a retro feeling based on 80s cyberspace visions and synthwave music. That means our cyberspace is filled with a retro grid and a lot of adrenaline-pumping synthesizers!
