The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

Escape Dungeon seems like yet more "quality content" from Steam.

2022, gaming on the whole has reached "bargain-bin" level. I'm not complaining though, I usually wait for the 90% discount and if you pay 2$ you get 2$ shit.

Looks like there's some cutesy adventure game event on Steam this weekend: https://store.steampowered.com/sale/thebigadventureevent

Spelldrifter, "puzzle-like positional tactics of a turn-based RPG" with cards, whatever that means:

Britannia, a digital adaptation of the board game. Apparently this adaptation is made by Philippe Thibaut, the creator of Europa Universalis:

Seal of Evil just got released onto Steam after all these years (from the same people who made Prince of Qin).


Bloody Spell left Early Access.

 

[Azalin]

Lunar New Year Sale is now on

Kenshi is 50% of for the first time I believe

It's still 3 dollars more than the Early Access discounts but yeah this is the lowest it's been since release if you're thinking about pulling the trigger.

Good time to pickup RE4. Very excited to revisit this title and see how much I actually remember. I still remember how awestruck I was the first time I found out you could backtrack AFTER the fish boss and what you find on the other side.

Can anyone recommend controller friendly online co-op games on sale? Something like nu-gauntlet especially.

Co-op RPG brawlers are actually fairly rare creatures, especially ones with online options.

Charlie Murder
Castle Crashers
Maybe Lost Castle

Remote Play Together options
Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara
All the Golden Axe games
The First Templar and Blood Knights (not really rpgs but might scratch the itch).

Not on sale
Lord of the Rings: War in the North would probably fit the bill well but it's not on steam anymore, 20 bucks through gamestop to get a steam key.
River City Ransom Underground

Arrowhead that made Gauntlet also did Magicka (not sure about controller-friendly for this tho) and Helldivers. There's also Magicka 2 from a different studio. FORCED was also pretty gud.

Other than that maybe Trine or Don't Starve Together?

Now you can experience real culture

Edit: finally remembered the webm command.

FMV games should remain dead. It is atrocious when used for gameplay purposes and is visually inferior compared to good quality pixel art. The only exceptions are cutscenes/briefings, and even then you have to put effort into making your costumes look good and actors convincing in their act.

Does this have an English translation?

I saw the complete Unreal Collection for $1.67 where you got your Steam keys for each individual games on a steals & deals board, but got scared off by a comment I saw in the SlickDeals forum where it was posted. Dude posted something like: "Well, the good news is I got my games and all activated on steam with no problem! Best $1.67 I ever spent! The Bad news? I got a $37 charge for Taco Bueno on my PayPal and then they tried to go for $1200."

This game is decent if you like CYOAs. Right now is about the only time I can recommend getting it, since it's on sale.

It's sort of replayable, but too many scenes just end up being skipped on a replay, so really it's quite short and I can't recommend it at full price. There's also a free demo available if you want to try it, and it carries over your progress after you buy.

I'd say the world and lore are at least interesting, and it's an ok way to spend a few hours.
