Bringing back an old effort-post of mine about Roguelikes, my favorite genre! Roguelikes Bionic Dues is down to 1.49$, and it's Arcen's weird unpolished game where you swap out different robots as you fight other robots. Worth a gander but you won't love it. Caves of Qud is at 8.99$! Buy it! You all know the refrain by now, it's the classic post-apocalyptic mutant exploration game where you die to turrets, giant angry bears, and angry NPCs! Crypt of the Necrodancer! 2.99$ for a beautifully designed roguelike where you dance as you kill your foes - it's wonderful, even if you have a bad sense of rhythm as I do. Desktop Dungeons is 7.49$, and well - do you like having your brain fried as you try to solve puzzles? It's fascinating and difficult and elegant. *Do not get the goatperson DLC, I hear that class is an utter pain to play as, and only for advanced users. Dungeonmans! Do you like fun? I like fun. It's 7.49$ for a pure dungeoncrawling experience. No funny plot to slow you down, no weird mutations to pick from, just a straightforward (yet cool) set of skills, your weaponry, and ever-more-powerful bees to kill. Good times. (The DLC is great, BUT do not get it unless you want to add difficulty sliders to the game, as it adds no other new content. The sliders are great and I love the new mechanics and customization, but it's for advanced players.) Dungeons of Dredmor, a clunky classic for 2.49$. It's funny, its skill-tree hasn't been duplicated by anyone else yet, and it brought roguelikes to the mainstream. I also here there's a tiny tiny chance it might be getting a new patch or something? Fingers crossed! One Way Heroics for 2.44$ (Add Plus edition for 2.59$!) - A weird yet cool game where you race across the kingdom to kill the Overlord before his creeping darkness swallows up everything. Plus Edition adds a TON of content and refinements to the game. There's an expensive remake that I'd pass on unless you really, really must have more of this game, too. Sproggiwood. 4.49$ - no time for dungeon diving? New to the genre? This is the holy grail of accessible roguelikes. It's fun to play, cute to look at, and surprisingly vicious. Savage mode is no joke. Play it, and learn to hate twinned monsters! Sword of the Stars: The Pit. For 1.29$..... you could do better. I'm sorry, but this game is terrible and I don't like it. It's one of the few sci-fi roguelikes, but DoomRL is free. Please play DoomRL instead. ToME, one of the biggest roguelikes out there - listen. It's free at its website. What you are buying on steam is the upgraded fancy version. Worth it - I mean it's 2.37$ - but please go play the free version first. This game can be very offputting if you're not ready for it. And then we get things I don't class as roguelikes in my steam library because I'm a nerd, but hey, they're good anyways! FTL, THE game to play if you want to be captain kirk. Not a fan of the final boss, but you owe it to yourself to play at least one or two games of this. 2.49$ Spelunky is 2.24$ and it's the Indiana Jones experience. I mean I don't need to sell this one do I? Everyone knows it. New Additions To This List 868-HACK, my favorite simple roguelike. It's almost an arcade game in how fiendishly simple it is. For 4.12$ it's one of the best on the list - carefully navigate a gauntlet of enemies as you collect weird/cool powerups and beat the game - then loop it, going as far down as you can before you die. AuroraRL weird sci-fi roguelike for 0.74$ - it honestly feels like a game from the 80s or 90s? It's just... very weird, but there's a lot to do and it's cheap, so hey, check it out. Morphblade - honestly it feels like a phone game. 2.49$ for a simple-yet-complex gauntlet of enemies where you upgrade the board itself with different tiles as you progress. I like it, it's by the Gunpoint guy, but it's not a deep game. Risk of Rain, my new favorite Spelunky-esque game. 2.49$, has great dynamic difficulty and cool items - you try to clear five stages and their bosses before the timer reaches the insane difficulties, steadily getting stronger - or dying. I love it a lot! MidBoss - alas, it's brand new so they couldn't do a sale, so it's a full 14.99$, but I like it. It's about possessing monsters and becoming them as you go through the dungeon. You learn skills from them, pick up new loot, and basically have a good pure roguelike experience. The devs are working on more improvements as we speak! Summary The absolute best things on this list are still Dungeonmans, Caves of Qud, and Crypt of the Necromancer - and the best bargain is DoomRL, as it's free! Get these four, have a blast!

Zathril posted:Any opinions on Particle Fleet: Emergence? I liked Creeper World 3. I didn't like it nearly as much as Creeper World 3. The enemy works similarly but you're building a limited number of large ships that you move around instead of buildings, which makes it a lot more like a generic RTS. It's not bad, and if you really want more Creeper World it's probably a worthwhile buy, but not as interesting. IMHO, anyways. I didn't really get around to the post campaign content with designing your own ships and stuff.

I didn't find hero siege very fun despite multiple attempts to get into it, it seems extremely grindy to me, with your base abilities you'll hit a ceiling as to how far you'll get and enemies will take forever to go down

For starters: Hero Siege Complete (I still don't know what the appeal of Hero Siege is. Are you super into the base game already or no?) Street Fighter X Tekken: Complete Pack (Don't know a ton about it, but it doesn't seem that popular, and you've got a buncha other fighters right there.) Q.U.B.E: Director's Cut (Frequently in bundles and is otherwise a just OK Portal-style game.) Bad Company 2 Bundle (IIRC, Vietnam is cool but multiplayer only and also dead, so maybe just get the base game.) Medal of Honor (Suuuuper skippable. There might still be some old Humble Origin keys floating around for it, too.)

You can probably ditch Bad Company 2, too. I doubt it's very active anymore. D&D Chronicles of Mystara is also probably pretty lame to play alone, so if you don't have anybody to play it with you can probably skip it.

Craft the World is more of a puzzle game than a DF-like. It's got levels and campaigns that you progress through, starting over from scratch each time. Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara is not a new game. It's a remaster of a fairly old arcade game that even when it was new was a poor knock-off of Golden Axe/Double Dragon.

suuma posted:You can probably ditch Bad Company 2, too. I doubt it's very active anymore. Honestly agreed. Bad Company 2i s my alltime favorite multiplayer game, but its pretty loving dead except for a hardcore holdout of incestuous playerbase (like many old games by now). i mean if you really want to play singleplayer or w/e which was OK but not great, sure I guess. I would also say skip Megabyte Punch. And possibly ditch Dust, its a competent metroidvania but its story is cringe anime as gently caress, if you asked last year i'd say yeah go for it since its generally fun, but you already have Hollow Knight which is loving amazing

Grey Goo Definitive Edition is $2 on US Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Grey-Goo-Definitive-Online-Game/dp/B072QCSZ8J/ , this is probably a price error because the orig version is $4 on Amazon, pick it up! It's a RTS in the vein of Command and Conquer, and it's pretty good. Multiplayer is dead but the campaign alone is worth $2 and you might get a kick out of skirmish. The campaign's story is generic but presented really well; you get introduced to each side as the story progresses, culminating in a mission where you get to use the respective side's superunit. The Goo faction is really cool and plays unlike most RTS factions, it has no buildings, just "Mother Goo"'s you can move around and spawn units off of, but you can use itself as a weapon and just roll over armies eating them with a huge mass of nanotechnology goo.

I recently played Bad Company 2 for the first time and found the singleplayer to be (like you said) decent enough. I'd say that for $4.99 you could do worse. God drat are the sound effects great in that game though.

-Blackadder- posted:Thanks, this is definitely a good start. It's easier said then done, but if you can group your wanted games into one of the following categories, only buy the ones in the first category this sale, and buy the ones in the second during the winter sale: 1. "I'm definitely going to play this within the next 6 months!!!" 2. "I really want to play this, but not sure that I'll get to it in the next 6 months" Otherwise you'll get a massive backlog (or make your existing one larger), and most likely run out of time to play them all

I've picked up a few games so far but have only played three: Wuppo - every bit as good as advertised. No Man's Sky - my expectations were suitably low and at least in the early going they have been exceeded. It's very polished, very pretty. My 8 year old loves it. Deathstate - this game is loving amazing. I am terrible at twin stick shooters and at bullet hell shooters but when they're packaged like this I can't say no. I'm really enjoying this one.
