If you're after a score attack arcade shooter, I'd recommend Nation Red for $2.50 way over Shoot Many Robots. http://store.steampowered.com/app/39800/
Has a demo, but I dunno if it's up to date or not. The developers have been supporting the bajesus out of it and it's been changed a hell of a lot since release. If they haven't been keeping the demo up to snuff it would be a piss poor representation of the game.
I've dumped 23 hours on Nation Red and still load it up every once in a while. Especially if I get in a pissing match over score with a Steam bro.
Good variety of weapons which can drop during a game, and you level up and get perks on a per-game basis. Most entertaining way to play is with random perks, which gives you a list of 5 perks when you level up and you pick one. Some of the achievements in the game are kinda entertaining to get too, I'm normally not much of an achievement whore but in a game like Nation Red I liked having a pile of them to shoot for.

Jesus wept. The people who vote for sales never cease to disappoint. Given the choice of Krater (New game, hasn't had a sale yet), Eye (Has been out a while, pretty unique, good sale though) and Sanctum (Has been in multiple sales and a fucking indie bundle) they NATURALLY VOTE FOR SANCTUM.

WHY!?

Nation Red

I already own nation red


I like crimsonlandish shooters and saw how much they updated it, after I tried the demo it cinched the deal

WHY!?

Same reason Beyond Good and Evil lost: People are stupid. There are people who post at CAG who say they 'missed' the more recent Humble Indie Bundles... how the fuck do you miss it when it's broadcast over half the internet and lasts for two weeks?

 

[Metro]

Derpblivion will probably win the next vote. Also, Dungeon Defender 'expansion' pack for $3.25 during the new flash sale, probably grab that. Cheap enough.

 

[insukk]

Dungeon Defenders: 2,99 euros for game, 12.49 for all DLC's.
At this point i'm just waiting for Warlock to show again (yes, i know it's on Amazon), because i couldn't buy it when it was on flash sales, and i'm done.

 

[Metro]

So... buy it on Amazon? There's literally no difference. You get a Steam key plus two other games and CK2 DLC. Why pay more for less?

 

[insukk]

Because i have a bro in Russialand, who can gift me games, and Warlock would be cheaper with -60 % discount, than this pack on Amazon. I have Majesty Gold already and i'm not interested in Majesty 2, which is pure crap. But if Warlock doesn't show up again on Steam, i'll take it from Amazon. Sale there is going through whole july, right?

 

[Metro]

Yeah, until the 30th. Sneaky black market trader!

 

[insukk]

I'm poor, give me a break.

 

[Metro]

Well, I'm not poor... but I'm still cheap.

If that's the case... I bought today Batman: Arkham City and Binary Domain for 12 $. I'm loving Russia so much at the moment.

WHY!?

I'm beginning to doubt the results of these elections. Vavle needs to do a voter purge to eliminate this rampant voter fraud!
:patriot:

 

[Metro]

There's no fraud -- the average Steam user is just that stupid/has shitty taste in games.

How much is the Stardock collection in dollars from your ruskie bro? Curious to hear how much I'm getting fleeced by picking it up from a middleman for $30.

Metro (and anyone else with dungeon defenders), add me on steam if you want someone to play dungeon defenders with

Well that's not too horrible then. I'd much prefer $22 naturally but since I haven't got a ruskiebro $30 isn't too horrendous.

 

[insukk]

25,93 $. Not everything is cheaper in rubles than in $ or €. Sometimes the pricing on Steam.ru doesn't make sense to me, but whatever, there are smart people making decisions on this.

 

[IDtenT]

Problem is that most voters just do it for the badges.

Think I've talked myself out of yet another purchase. On the one hand I enjoy the DD game play but, on the other, it's a total grind fest that I don't know if I want to get back into.

Metro talked me down from the DD precipice too. Probably better off using that money on OMD2 if I want third person action tower defense.

 

[Metro]

I might talk myself back into DD!

 

[Drakron]

Derpblivion will probably win the next vote.

I voted for it.

Reason is, there is no fucking reason to buy it when the Deluxe version have all the DLC, voting for it is being a Troll as voting for Far Crap Too is being a fucking asshole because people might buy it and people should just buy Torchlight II.
