I sort of like roguelikes (Shiren the wanderer on the DS for example) for the occasional play and was thinking of getting Swords of the Stars The Pit. I am confused however, there is a gold edition and a bundle that has the gold edition and more dlc. Which one should I get?

And what other good roguelikes are there? (I prefer good graphics, nothing with Ascii code like minimalist stuff, that's just not appealing to me)

Shattered Planet - $2.24 (-85%) - isometric roguelike featuring short runs and progression

Okay thread, I got a challenge for ya.

I'm looking for some fun or decent action and platformer games, bundles are allowed, and the total cost should be 8 bucks or less.

Knytt Underground - $3.49 (-50%) - a large platforming adventure game from Nifflas

edit - i spreadsheeted bad and got the price on KU wrong, have a replacement to get the cost back under 8 bux:

eversion - $2.44 (-51%) - a cute platformer

You might like Antichamber. It's an FPS puzzler a bit like Talos Principle, but less story focused and with a real cool art aesthetic.

and a steal at the current price:

Antichamber - $3.99 (-80%) - first-person-mindfuck puzzler

also:

Closure - $0.99 (-90%) - puzzle game based on "if it isn't illuminated, it isn't there"
English Country Tune - $0.99 (-80%) - challenging 3D puzzle game
Kairo - $0.84 (-83%) - exploration-puzzler with an minimalist aesthetic
Q.U.B.E: Director's Cut - $1.74 (-83%) - sci-fi first-person puzzler
Qbeh-1: The Atlas Cube - $1.49 (-85%) - chill first-person puzzler
MirrorMoon EP - $1.29 (-87%) - abstract puzzle game where working out the rules is half the puzzle

I really want to add a couple of good shmups to my list, even if they are a bunch of japanese indie ones, anyone know some good ones?

not my strongest area, but:

REVOLVER360 RE:ACTOR - $2.99 (-70%) - on-rails 3d shmup, where you can rotate the play-field
Pixel Galaxy - $1.99 (-80%) - bullet-hellish shmup, but that's okay - ram into into enemies to gain protection and their attack pattern
Star Saviors - $0.49 (-75%) - a neat shmup game
Retro/Grade - $1.99 (-80%) - rhythm-based shmup

Does anyone have any recommendations for cheap, small / modest / short games? I'm thinking of stuff like Refunct, Proteus or Mountain, games that offer a short but unique experience, maybe slightly experimental (but doesn't have to be), that you can knock off in a couple of sittings.

Ossuary - $3.99 (-60%) - surreal puzzle adventure game
NaissanceE - $3.74 (-75%) - very atmospheric exploration game, a great experience
McPixel - $0.99 (-80%) - stop the bomb exploding! You have 20 seconds!
Bad Mojo Redux - $0.59 (-90%) - mid 90's FMV adventure game inspired by Kafka

The Majesty series sounds like it might be fun, but which one should I get? Majesty 1 seems to be universally loved, but would it be too dated for me to get into at this point? Majesty 2 looks great to me, but people aren't as hot on it for some reason. Would its shortcomings be apparent to a newcomer to the series?

Warlock: Master of the Arcane

Ragequit posted:

For anyone that picks up Darkest Dungeon who doesn't like tedium, do what I did and edit some of the config files to make the quest loot and gold 5-10x greater. The combat will still be tough and rewarding but you probably won't want to kill yourself as you build up your town and characters.

"wanting to kill yourself as you involve yourself deeper in eldritch horrors" is one of the core elements of the genre, though

Bringing back an old effort-post of mine about Roguelikes, my favorite genre!

Roguelikes

a good effortposte, just want to add that the Spike Chunsoft remake of One Way Heroics, Mystery Chronicle: One Way Heroics on sale at 90% off.

-Blackadder- posted:

Uh...so this is what my steam cart looks like right now. Most of it is pretty heavily discounted (~75%), but I still think I could really use some help cutting this down...

One Finger Death Punch
Portal Bundle
Q.U.B.E: Director's Cut
Stardew Valley
Creeper World 3
The Dweller

Halp!

these are the stand-out keepers for me (both Portal games are 90% off) You can skip Craft the World this time if you want to trim excess. I liked it but not enough to recommended it over other games when someone is trying to fit within a budget

Since I've heard that the original game has been much improved upon what are the best Minecraft-like's for someone who's never played Minecraft?

2D - Terraria

Asteria - $0.99 (-90%) - terraria-alike where each tier of tech is earned through a unique map and boss fight
Darkout - $3.74 (-81%) - a terraria-alike with enemies that are weak to bright lights

Yon Paradox - a time-fuckery puzzle game. at regular intervals you warp back in time, but each loop creates a copy of you that does what you did. However, you cannot allow yourself to be seen by your past selves, because that would cause a deadly paradox

i'm not making my next batch purchase yet but i know what it'll be: fairy fencer f, magic circle, last door S2 and quantum conundrum

that'll leave me with close to 4 dollars and maybe i'll get one more game beyond this and that'll probably be it for me for the sale, so i'll let card drops and stuff get my steam wallet up higher. then get maybe sublevel zero. idk

you'd have a better time with sublevel zero than with quantum conundrum, unless you really enjoy first-person precision jumping puzzles

One Way Heroics Plus: Rogue-like-ish game with a really clever conceit. You constantly move right, fleeing the darkness from the left. Simple to play, comfortable controls, lots of clever mechanics, and a ton of unlockable stuff. I'd skip the very newest release, plus is a straight update of the original release with more content, the newer one is a commercial remakeish thing.

In case you aren't aware, the Spike-Chunsoft version of this (Mystery Chronicle: One Way Heroics) is under a buck right now.

Huh, I remember playing this as a flash game tears ago, does the steam version add anything?

i'm not sure, there are "freshman trial" and "later story" modes apart from "normal game", and you do have the option of playing it in Chinese.

The sequel (Cube Hotel) is also available on Steam as well.
