It's still good but a bit quiet. I'd wait until the expansion to start at this point, when there'll be more people and you won't get cut off if you want to keep going on that character., unless you really want to start learning and be ready to shoot for the stats ASAP in the new content.

My favourite part is that this rule doesn't seem to apply to the store page for your game, or the community hub, both of which will often post links to Bandcamp pages for game OSTs, but chuckles here is going to cut off his nose because he can't put it in the game directly. Even if I'm missing something, his games are still garbage and in that they simply seem to be a reflection of his personality so, you know, oh no please don't leave Steam because it totally needs low-effort cash-in bullshit.

This game is from the writer of The Sea Will Claim Everything and Talos' Principle. I haven't had the chance to check it out yet, but it should be great. And it's really cheap, too.

Seconding what others have said here:
Defender's Quest is one of the best pure TD games. I cant vouch for Immortal Defense though having never played it.

I would say that Dungeon of the Endless is easily my favorite of the bunch, but it isn't a traditional TD by any stretch so if you are specifically in the market for a TD, it might not fit the bill (I would say play it anyway because you will probably like it and want to put some time in with it eventually)

I ended up picking up Dungeon of the Endless, I did want a pure TD but this one seemed to creative and enough TD it may scratch that itch and more.

So this dev made something supposedly similar to this before called Phenomenon 32 (and by similar I mean very vaguely similar) and Phenomenon 32 seems like a pretty interesting game. However, the way it handles is just so...bleh and it is very grating on my eyes and you have pretty much no feedback on what areas you need to go back to and how much stuff is left there and aaaaaaaa just a whole bunch of confusion and poo poo. Basically I'm wondering if anybody here ever played that game and if they could just spoil the ending for me because idk how far into it I got but I can tell there's no way I could get to the end and I can't even find a video playthrough online.

Monochroma is a pretty fun Limbo-like cinematic platformer, at least thus far.

Also, Pneuma: Breath of Life is surprisingly good outside of one particularly frustrating puzzle (the floor tiles in chapter 5). There's also a puzzle in chapter 6 that I was able to skip by abusing checkpoints. It's quite short, but worth playing if you enjoy first-person puzzlers and can get it for cheap.

Like "should I play some more TitS 3? Nah, let's keep going with BaK" levels of holds up.

The first person control is hella janky (and to be fair, it was even when the game came out), and some of the combat stuff is pretty non-straight forward, but I agree it holds together pretty well considering it's age. It's got a decent pacing (no respawning or random encounters, thank god), the characters and story are fun, and the interface generally works the way you'd expect it to.

Floppy version is superior to the CD version IMO, I like the FM music better, and the voice acting doesn't really add much and slows things down a bit.

I've played a version of BaK that I bought on a CD, the GoG version, and (currently) the one on steam. None of them had voice acting. I think you might be imagining things.

Nah it has very limited voice acting, mostly just when you initiate a dialog with someone. Apparently it's buggy/limited though and will only play with certain audio settings?

From the GoG thread it sounds like you have to have Redbook music on in order to also get the voice acting, but there is a fan fix for it if you want MIDI + Voice Acting.


E: I did misremember that all of those things are togglable in the options of the CD version though so I guess it's more MIDI supremacy over lovely Redbook than anything.

Now that I'm posting my Weeklong Deal roundups on an actual website, the coding is different and it's a pain in the rear end to re-do for something that most people probably scroll past anyway. If you want to check them out you can do so here, but at the very least you should probably pick up Refunct if you haven't yet. It's still being updated with graphical enhancements and new achievements, and is now playable in 27 languages.
