The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

Well I think one of them gives you the movie characters, but I don't know about the others

 

[Unkillable Cat]

The first DLC gives you two short scenarios from the Alien film, which is alright since it has voice acting from the original cast. The rest of the DLC all involve Survivor mode and have no story or character development.

I haven't played the original Homeworlds, is the remaster any good? It's currently 50% off at steam.

The UI is less of a mess, but I'm not sure if they speed the game up because the original Homeworld is SO FUCKING SLOW.

Long story short, the Homeworld remastered is basically a Homeworld 1 mod for Homeworld 2 remastered, in many places using HW2 mechanics. This is most visible by the fact that in Homeworld you had ballistic simulation for projectile hits and in Homeworld 2 it was all dice rolls. HW remastered has dice rolls instead of simulation. Plus some other HW2 mechanics, such as captured enemy carriers being unable to build anything, got applied to HW remastered.

HW2 remastered does not have any such issues for obvious reasons. Also it looks pretty.

Also Gearbox Shi(f)t never connects for me, so I was never able to play multiplayer.

Way of the Samurai 4 showed up out of fucking nowhere, 40% discount for the next 12 hours until release.

[Ulminati]

Any good?

Halfway? Not really. There's not much in the way of strategy. A pity really since I liked the concept

They pretty much ruined all the beautiful things about HW1 by porting it to the vastly inferior HW2 engine. Graphics are nice, but the mechanics did not survive the transition very well.

[Anthedon]

Did anyone here successfully play the Steam version of Dark Corners of the Earth on Win7 x64? It doesn't play nice with the unofficial patch as far as I can tell, encrypted .exe and all.

It worked when I used it. When I didn't the game just kept deleting my saves.

It's a port of the iOS version, not the old version available on GOG: http://kingofdragonpass.blogspot.com/2015/07/new-in-steam.html

New in Steam

King of Dragon Pass will be coming to Steam on 28 July. But the game has been available for mobile (iOS, Android, and Windows Phone), as well as the original version (either on CD or as patched to be downloadable by GOG.com). So what exactly is coming to Steam?

The version on Steam is essentially the mobile version, but tuned for desktop and laptop screen sizes (I ran it on a 30 inch iMac, but it should run on a 1024 x 576 netbook). HeroCraft has been responsible for the Steam versions, since I’ve been busy with Six Ages, so I am not completely sure of the specifics. But I believe the Steam achievements are the same as those we added in 2.0. There are also Steam Cards (which may have some new art).

So if you played on Windows or Mac before, you’d be moving from 1.7 to 2.2. There are 48 new scenes and 4 new illustrations (plus a new Lore map). There are also new advisors, and a lot more advice in management screens. There are also more treasures. We made many bug fixes (such as unblocking two of the original scenes), and fixed typos. You no longer have to worry about sheep. The economics system should no longer be quite as harsh, with death spirals less likely. (Rest assured that the game is still difficult, especially on the Hard setting.)

The Tula screen was too difficult to rework, but it wasn’t part of game play. And HeroCraft originally started their porting before our scene contest, so those scenes are currently only in the iOS version.



We like to avoid spoilers, so it’s hard to talk about just what the four dozen new scenes are about. We did mention the Troll Herobefore, however. And here’s the artwork for one of them.

So if you have played King of Dragon Pass on a laptop or desktop, but not a mobile device, there’s a lot of new stuff. And if you haven ’t played at all, now’s your chance!
