Valentine's Day is famous for wilting flowers and packed
restaurants. Why not stay in and have some indie gaming fun
instead? We can sort that! There are hours of very unromantic alien
blasting, striking tower defense action & heaps of classic
platforming to be found in the Valentine's Bundle 2.0 from Indie
Royale.
Together the 6 titles featured in this bundle are valued at over
$65! At Indie Royale the starting price is just $3.99.
Leading this Indie Gaming love-in is the latest installment in
Croteam's phenomenally
popular series:
Serious Sam 3: BFE.
Serious Sam 3: BFE is a glorious throwback to the golden age of
first-person shooters where men were men, cover was for amateurs
and pulling the trigger made things go boom. It's available for
Windows, Mac or Linux on Steam. It was developed by Croteam, is
offered thanks to Devolver Digital and was released in November
2011. The game serves as a prequel to the original indie sensation,
Serious Sam: The First Encounter. 1UP said of Serious Sam 3: BFE
that it's "a game that deserves to be played, because it shows what
shooters were and could have been. It shows that there's more to
the genre than what AAA developers have shown us in the past
decade". For the hopelessly romantic among you, Serious Sam 3: BFE
includes a great co-op mode!
Next is
Shad'O from
Okugi Studio. A unique tower
defense game that will immerse you in the story of William, a
9-year-old boy lost in his own mind, fighting to save his memory.
He will get help from his luminous companions in his struggle to
remember what happened to him. Available for Windows from Steam,
Desura & DRM-free. Shad'O is a beautiful game about light and
dark. IGN said "it distinguishes itself through its striking art
design and compelling narrative". Shad'O was only released in
September 2012. We've got the Collector's Edition which includes
the game and the soundtrack.
Another recently released game in the Valentine's 2.0 Bundle is
the pure 2d platformer
Oozi: Earth Adventure,
available for Windows on Desura & DRM-free with the OST. It was
developed by
Awesome Game Studio. The game
has a lovely hand drawn art style tied to some hardcore, old school
platforming. Gaming Nexus reviewed the game with the comment that
it's an "adventure that really conjures up memories of classic
platformers from the 8-bit and 16-bit days". Oozi: Earth Adventure
is in Steam Greenlight right now so don't forget to upvote it if
you like this game.
The next game in this bundle is
Doc Clock: The Toasted Sandwich
of Time from
Stickmen Studios, available
for Windows from Steam, Desura & DRM-free with a Mac version
too. This game is the first Doc Clock time travelling adventure in
which you can invent almost anything out of everything you find,
from catapults to incredible flying machines. The game features
sarcasm, misguided robots and a cat! There are wallpapers for the
game included in the Valentine's Bundle 2.0.
Last up we have 2 games from
Boss Baddie: Lunnye Devitsy
and Wake. Together they make up the
Lunar Pack. Lunnye Devitsy is
a mystery puzzle platformer about a little alien who falls off the
moon and has to make his way back. In Wake, an engineer is trapped
on a sinking ship and he has to navigate his way to the surface
above. Both games are available for Windows on Desura &
DRM-free and we've got the OST.
Finally, those who pay $8 USD or their currency equivalent
during the Valentine's 2.0 Bundle will get an ambient electronic
treat from
Tim Wright of CoLD SToRAGE,
the recently released 'SLIPSTREAM [volume 2]'. As with SLIPSTREAM
Vol. 1 from the last Indie Royale bundle, this album features 64
bit digital re-mix / re-masters of Tim's tracks from WipEout and
WipEout 2097. It also includes some special remixes and exclusive
bonus tracks that weren't on WipEout. These tracks were created
around the same time, so they share a similar flavour. This album
is available in MP3 and FLAC format.
You can find more information on the Valentine's Bundle 2.0,
including real-time statistics and its current price, on its
official website or via its Facebook and Twitter pages. Grab this
bundle now while the price is still low (unless kind purchasers
lower the price) so that you'll have hours of lovely indie gaming
to look forward to!
