I think I’ll be finally picking up Project Wingman and Black Mesa in this sale.
What’s on your list?
UBoat - it’s a u boat game / simulator of sorts. Complex, slow game play as you stalk convoys, set up for the ambush, then escape the destroyers hunting your uboat.
I bought The Making of Karateka. Not exactly a game, more like a playable documentary (akin with Atari 50 anniversary collection).
Unforgettable voyage. Looks like a cute little puzzle game.
Eidolon
Picked up The Ascent and Dead Cells this time around.
I like The Ascent! That’s a fun game. I’ve heard of a lot of jank, but not experienced much myself. Other than some crashes when loading between areas.
Good for you! Dead Cells is one of the best games ever made if you ask me.
Cattails. It’s like Stardew Valley but with cats. I played the first game on Switch and just picked up the sequel to play on Deck.
For less than $5 CAD, I picked up Maiden & Spell, an excessively cute sidescrolling shooter a la R-Type, except it’s a levelless boss rush with Story and Versus modes. It’s got a very Touhou aesthetic (i.e. rather than spaceships or dragons or something, everyone is cute girls).
Story mode is basically a Touhou boss rush, where your character fights 4 monster girls and 2 out of the other 3 human girls, with no level in-between, it’s just bosses. There’s a threadbare but acceptable story linking them, with each playable character giving a different perspective on the same story, and then there being an epilogue chapter and a bonus extra boss. Story mode has 4 difficulties, the easiest of which is called Cute Mode and is basically unloseable, so even if you’ve never played a game like this, you can give it a go.
Versus mode is basically a 1v1 fighting game. You and one friend each pick one of the 8 girls and do bullet hells at each other until you see who wins. It’s not complex, but it is kind of tactically deep.
The same author is currently working on a sequel, Rabbit & Steel, a very similar game except rather than a versus battler, it’s a coop roguelike inspired by MMO raid mechanics. A sneak-peek demo with online multiplayer is available, and it’s really fun!
Purchased Ready Or Not. I am having a BLAST with this game! It’s niche game and I am really into it.
I bought (the) Gnorp Apologue, really nice idler
I think it might become big as this one is absolutely going places play-wise.
I have shitload of indie games with a fun ideas that I have never really played, but wanted to support.
I already own the game so this is more of a reccomendation.
Civ6 is only £5 right now and all the dlc only costs £20 in the bundle. It’s an easy game to reccomend for anyone who is even a little interested in strategy games.
I bought the old homeworld games. I remember really enjoying them way back when, and the third game finally comes out in 24 so I thought I’d give them a play through to catch up. Still good.
Someone mentioned SpaceBourne 2 in another thread the other day, so I checked the reviews which made it sound like a pretty good game and it was on sale so I bought it.
Mechanically, it’s awesome. Polish wise… It needs work. Text-to-speech voice overs (which I hope are placeholders because they are jarring as fuck), kind of a mishmash of aesthetic design that makes me think the assets are merely freebies on the Unreal store, just missing that general pizazz that shows off the quality.
Not that it takes away from the fun, which is the most important part. The best way to even describe the game is “Mount & Blade in space.” It combines some of the best aspects of Elite Dangerous, X3/X4, NMS, and Stellaris into its own thing, and it is super cool to play if not look at (though the crazy set piece things in the MQ are super fucking cool; like being eaten by a space kraken and then escaping in a smaller ship while avoiding thousands of little squiddy things, and they’re actually there not like some BS particle effect or optical illusion).
I’m not sure if it’s on sale but I’ll just keep talking about Revita because it’s such a succinct rogue like that blends hollow knight and TBOI very well.
