Up to 75% off Weekly Staff Picks: NEO Scavenger, Tales of Maj'Eyal, Rogue Legacy and more!



I like roguelikes, you like roguelites, everybody likes roguelike-likes and the like - a vague yet curiously descriptive subset of a genre: Neverending death labyrinths, random everything, tough love and a big, fat middle finger. We just can't help but be into it, and we know you like it like that.



Tales of Maj'Eyal is like the granddaddy of roguelike gaming. Deep roots and a crazy-long history, it went from an open-source wonder - to a cult, underground hell! Just released, the 1.3.0 update includes new content, updated UI, and new mechanics - a.k.a. the big "that's awesome buy the game" patch. Check out the update thread for more info!

But you don't need dungeons to royally screw you over, you can just go outside: the world of NEO Scavenger is a cruel, cruel place to explore, and it's this year's Roguelike fan-favourite. The thing about roguelikes and the like, though, is that they've got to hate you with a passion of a thousand random suns - everything else is pretty much fair game. That's how we get roguelike platformers like Ascendant and Rogue Legacy. Or if you want to get even weirder: there is the roguelike "lunchbreak FPS" Tower of Guns - that's one hell of a combo that also just got updated with support for Linux and Mac OS X!



With discounts up to 75% off, check out our very own dungeon of a thousand painful deaths, er... our Weekly Staff Picks: Roguelikes and the like. It's FUN, we promise.
The discounts will last will last until Thursday, March 26, at 10:59 AM GMT.

SerialSideQuest: Am I missing something here, or did the sales expire early?
Depends when did you expect it to end, 10:59GMT for me is 12PM (which was 4 hours ago).

Well, since the GOG.com post says...

I kind of figured the "PM" designation was important. Since, you know, that's still in the future.

My bad, you're right. It's either an AM/PM mistake or it did end early.

No problem, it's easy to overlook, which is what I'm assuming happened. AM/PM mistake, as you said.

Is there a chance a GOG.com team member will see this and remedy it? Ooooor should I contact support?

The sale ended on the correct time. The post above did have the wrong time, though.

My best suggestion is to contact support and ask them whether it would be possible to buy one of the featured games with a discount on account of wrong information.

It was my AM/PM mistake, really sorry about that!

Gotcha. I figured there might have been a precedent for it, but I don't always have money so I don't follow the sales closely. Ha.

Thanks for clarifying.

I know you probably didn't write the news post, but I did chuckle when I read your title of "Typo Generator." I find it humorous, in context.

Nevermind. You did write it. And I actually laughed out loud.

Next time, use 24 hour format. Saves everyone the trouble ;)
Better yet, use Zulu time.

I still wonder what's the benefit of the 12 hour format.. it only adds confusion.

In Germany we are using a 24 hours format. For example, it`s 19:05 o`clock right now.

The least I can do is embrace my predisposition. ;)
