The Tower of Bundles stands tall! A grand finale: Knights in Shining Armor joust for the princess' snow-white handkerchief, but the cyberpunk heroes did not ask for this.

So we had all these awesome bundles lying around, and we're thinking of what to do with 'em. They all just happen to be square (cubical even, if you squint and use your imagination), and one day our Promo-Master starts stacking them on top of each other thinking little of it. It's a long story. One thing led to another, things escalated quickly, and here we are now. In total, we've built:







Days 5 & 6 - Bundle Tower Finale: Sci-Fi Floor, Knights in Shining Armor, and Divinity: Original Sin
Come one, come all - there's something for everyone on Day 5, where Knights in Shining Armor clash against a floor of Sci-Fi strategy and epic. Complete two series with our two knightly bundles: the <span class="bold">Mount & Blade Pack</span> at -75% (Mount & Blade, Mount & Blade: With Fire and Sword, Mount & Blade: Warband, Mount & Blade: Warband: Napoleonic Wars), and the 60% off <span class="bold">Gothic Trilogy</span>, in which we once again welcome the series to GOG.com! (Gothic I, Gothic II, Gothic 3)
Not into steeds and dragons? How about cybernetic implants and spaceships? Train your mind and your <span class="bold">Spatial Awareness</span> with these three space space strategy titles at -75% (Space Colony HD, Galactic Civilizations I, Master of Orion 1+2), or descend into a dystopian future with the <span class="bold">Cyberpunk Pack</span>
(Deus Ex 1+2, Anachronox, Omikron) with another 75% off.



Finally, the tower stands tall!
We had fun, we had game premieres, we had a change of pants. Now, we reach the apex of our tower, and therein lies one final surprise: Divinity: Original Sin at our record high 40% discount! The modern Ultima-inspired RPG wonder stole our hearts, and we hope it'll steal yours too.








Day 4 - Put the Pieces Together & Gamers at the Movies.

Fourth day, four bundles. Coincidence? We think not.
Aliens.
Our DRM-free aliens bring us today's four bundles in convenient sets of two. Still sceptical? Do your own research and Put the Pieces Together - to get your noodle brewing are several Headscratchers at -80% (Super Puzzle Platformer, Unmechanical, Gateways, The Adventures of Shuggy), then once you're good and warmed up, put it all together Brick-by-brick at a 75% discount (LEGO Batman, LEGO Harry Potter 1-7). Adventure, intrigue, aliens. It's just like being at the movies, which is appropriate because this next floor is like a GOG.com branded movie theatre with two side-by-side matinees. That's Geeks 'R' Us at -80% (Ecstasy of Order, Trek Nation, Rewind This, Space Invaders, Downloaded), and Nerd Central (The Frame, Ink, Dark Dungeons, Angry Video Game Nerd, Motivational Growth) with tickets on a permanent -75% discount.



Day 3: History Lessons
*brring* Recess is over!
Kidding, we're just piling on the fun behind thinly veiled History Lessons. We've got one floor for you today, but what a floor indeed! Today's two bundles are not just about being smart, fiendishly difficult, and kinda historically accurate (just like school) - but also about all of them being released on GOG.com for the first time. Just like we promised.
The self-titled <span class="bold">History Lessons</span> bundle, at -75%, includes Paradox Interactive grand-strategy titles (Europa Universalis 2, Europa Universalis: Rome Gold, and Hearts of Iron), while the -75% <span class="bold">Pack of War</span> packs a stack of Men of War titles (Faces of War, Men of War: Red Tide, Men of War: Assault Squad, and Men of War: Vietnam ), where you'll strive to survive organic, semi-authentic, squad based battles.

If anyone asks where on earth you've been for the past week, you'll say studying for history finals. Inside the Bundle Tower. Right?





Day 2: The Adrenaline Floor & Indie Variety
On the second day of the Bundle Tower, there were two more floors and four more bundles. Our first major stop is occupied by a varied crowd, where <span class="bold">Wacky Indies</span> at 80% off (Stick it to the Man, Consortium, Sir, You Are Being Hunted) and <span class="bold">Indie Platformers</span> at -85% (Dust, Spelunky, Trine Enchanted Edition, Trine 2) mingle, mix, and match, and learn about the importance of friendship, and sharing, and the power of cooperation.
Then we move up to The Adrenaline Floor. It sounds like trouble, and it is. - 75% off the <span class="bold">SHMUP Attack Pack</span> (REVOLVER360 Re:Actor, Raiden III, Crimzon Clover, Astebreed) is your warmup, and it's the first of the bundles to feature a GOG.com premiere with REVOLVER360 Re:Actor!
Don't get cocky though, because soon you'll run like hell and proclaim: <span class="bold">S#&%, My Pants!</span> The Penumbra Collection, Amnesia: Dark Descent, Outlast, (and a change of knickers, maybe) are part of the bundle at 80% off!









Day 1: The Foundations
A rock-solid four bundles. <span class="bold">Hasbro RPG classics</span> (including Planescape: Torment, Neverwinter Nights, Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale) and the <span class="bold">Divinity Trilogy</span> (Divine Divinity, Beyond Divinity, Divinity 2) are available 80% off. In the meantime, <span class="bold">Lucasfilm adventures</span> at 70% off (Sam & Max Hit the Road, Secret of Monkey Island, Indiana Jones and The Fate of Atlantis), and a 75% off the entire <span class="bold">Broken Sword Saga</span> (in one bundle with Broken Sword 5 for the first time!), are just a point-and-click away.





The Bundle Tower Finale, with all bundles and discounts, will stand tall for a final 48 hours! Visiting hours end on Sunday, April 19, at 12:59 PM GMT.

Too bad I already have all the LucasArts adventures in this bundle, plus all the Broken Sword ones (I only have Shadow of the Templars in boxed copy, but I still have it and it runs on my machine so, no need to get a GOG copy as of now).

As for the D&D stuff, I might pick up Demon Stone and Temple of Elemental Evil just to try them out, as I think most D&D games tend to be overrated and I end up disappointed (namely with Baldur's Gate 2 and Icewind Dale; loved Planescape: Torment, though).

Not that interested in the Divinity titles, Divine Divinity was a huge let-down, someone pointed out that Divinity II might be more up my alley, as it's more fluid and fast-paced, but I'm a bit afraid of touching anything made by Larian, to be honest, as so many people praise Divine Divinity and I found it to be boring as hell and not that good at all.

To all adventure fans out there, if you don't already own these games, all of them are classics (and a modern classic as well, with Broken Sword 5 thrown in a bundle for the first time) in their own way, and you can't go wrong picking them up. Of the LucasArts bundle I would recommend all of them, to be honest, even though Sam & Max Hit the Road is my personal favourite of the three. Out of the Broken Sword games, if you don't feel like getting all of them (you should, but I understand why you wouldn't), you can skip Broken Sword 3 and 4, or the fourth one alone, at least, as they are the weakest of the bunch -- 3 is really good but sadly Revolution jumped on the 3D bandwagon of the time and a lot of fans were not pleased by that move, and 4, while looking great in 3D, is definitely the worst Broken Sword title to date, even though it's still a decent point and click adventure, if you feel inclined to try it out. Broken Sword 5: The Serpent's Curse is a crowd-funded return to form; that game is superb and should stand high up there with the first two titles; plus, it's the first time the game is on a bundle, with a nice discount, so you should look into it.

All things considered, get the games you like the most, take this chance to finish your GOG collection, skip the games if you don't think there's anything for you in there, do whatever you please. Have a nice tower bundle sale, though, and thanks, GOG, for yet another one of your surprise mega-sales with a twist! I'll be sure to check daily.

IwubCheeze: Any thoughts would be appreciated

PaterAlf: I would say that you will probably enjoy Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. There are hardly any illogical puzzles, there are often different ways to solve a problem and there are no dead ends and hardly any possibility to die (I think there was one, but the game warned you twice before killing your character. Some pixel hunting might be involved (like it is in more or less every point & click adventure game), but in my eyes it never gets frustrating.

The Secret of Monkey Island is another beast though. It's a great adventure game and I really love it, but the puzzles are often obscure and not completely logical.
Thanks for the heads up there. I guess I'll wait and see what else comes in the promo. If there's nothing that I want, then I'll probably pick up this bundle then at least :)
I didn't see that promo coming! What a view to see all those D&D games on sale! :D
As for the Divinity bundle; Pssstt, GOG, something recent is missing in there... ;-)

...I managed to die a lot of times and i liked it! But that's me! :P

I'll have to agree that Fate of Atlantis is a wonderful game, there are no illogical puzzles as you said & it has nice replay value due to different paths you can take while you adventure. I enjoyed it a lot even though i don't play many point & clicks.

vicklemos: Hope GOG honors me and add that vicklemos foundation bundle, containing:

- Paraworld
avatar
Piranjade: It would be so cool if Paraworld came to GOG!
Let's vote for it!
http://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/paraworld
Thanks, man.
Soooo, if Paraworld comes to GOG then you'll twitch it? Yay!!! :P
Great promo!
I just bought Lucasfilm Adventures!

I think it's fairly obvious that I'm not a hardcore adventure gamer. Does The Secret of Monkey Island and Indiana Jones: FOA also have these issues?
avatar
E_A: To put it simply, these are probably the best adventure games ever released. Secret of Monkey Island made Lucasarts the best address in adventure gaming, surpassing Sierra. The riddles can be a bit zany and difficult (you will know the style from later Monkey Island titles) but are always entertaining. And Indiana Jones, for me, rates as the probably best riddle design in the genre.
Don't forget that Indy 4 afaik is the only game up to date which lets you chose three totally different solutions for the game. It is outstanding and the story would be a better Indy 4 movie than the movie itself was. Great bundle here - unfortunately I already own all of the adventure games in the bundles today (yes, also the Baphomet/Broken Sword series). Again a great promo GOG but give us a bit time to relax and save some money ;)

I love that promo ! Looking forward to the next bundles.
Have all the games this round.
migth buy a few gifts or trade items though.
No comment!
PayPal speaks for me.

<in case there'll come anything I don't own yet>
lol, just saw that brokensword 5 uses episodes :P

that means there's a wait for episode 2?

how long would that be? and at what price would it be?

i got ep 1 in the bundle, buying the bundle gave me 2 less games bs 3 and bs4
but i wanted to have the bs5, seems it uses episodes?
I thought i read something about 2 episodes? i hope its not more cause that would be a expensive trip and a very long wait.

Having finished it just two days ago, I can say that the poor Indy can die in sevral different occasions, yet the choices leading to that outcome are -almost- always pretty obvious, hence easily avoidable.
I guess thay are there more to allow a "let's see what happens if..." kind of play rather than a real challenge for the player.
The puzzles though are always well-thought, perfectly logical and really fun to complete; there is a bit of pixel hunting, but I can only think of two items (among the tens and tens) that require an eagle eye.

From BS5 gamecard: "Includes Broken Sword 5: Episode 1 and Broken Sword 5: Episode 2."

It won't get more expensive. You will get the rest of the episodes (think there will only be two) for free (of course not really for free, because you already paid for them, but you won't have to spend any more money).
