Qurius: All games on this bundle look decent or above, except one game.... Bad Rats: Rats Revenge, it looks like it has horrible graphics (doesn't really matter in most cases but this just looks ugly) and gameplay elements that would be in a flash game, not a game on steam. That is the only game in the bundle that seems out of place (for me).

AFnord: I had to try Bad Rats, as a lot of people said that it was a bad game, and well, it was not that bad. The theme detracted a bit from the experience actually, had it just been silly looking machines and a button at the end, I think it would have been a lot better received.
I suspect that Disciples is the worst in the lot. I have a copy from here and if you don't play the game in the order that the developers intended it gets really ugly very quickly.

keeveek: rumour has it Razor 2 is a huge piece of crap.
Really? I have to look into this.

EDIT: Ok, I have checked a couple of videos and as you said the game doesn't seem that great. I just kinda glanced at the preview pictures on steam and thought it looked like an alright shoot' em up but now afterwards I can see that game doesn't have the polish that it needs. It might be fun but from what I can gather there are better shoot 'em ups on steam (even though there are just a few, which of course is a shame). Thanks for the heads up mate!

Check steam forums about this game. IT seems it's pretty buggy.
Hmm on the surface the bundle looks really neat - quite a lot of fairly well known titles (as opposed to a lot of others which tend to grab up a lot of unknowns)

Soo looking at the deal backwards:

Last part:
Ninja Blade - looks interesting, never played not looked at it but could be fun, esp as I don't have a console and these games are rarer on the pc
Disciples 2 Elves - love that game, but I don't need a second copy.

Puzzle Kingdoms and Superbike = no personal interest

Middle bit:

Battle mages - might be fun?
Space Empires 4 - I like these games, a little micro heavy in this title I think but could be good low graphics fun

Racing and Bad Rats = no personal interest

First bit:

Ironclads - got really excited seeing this, then tried a demo and bleh... I can't belive how un-fun they managed to make a game with ships and cannon fire - esp since the audio was poor (many guns missed their auto fire) and it seemed the gun crews didn't like shooting.

Razor and Beat - these game always look good but I'm hopeless at them

Making History - anyone tried this? Is it Disciples level turn based or are we talking Crusader Kings style?



In the end seems like only Ninja and Making history might be the most fun - so I'm tempted but I don't feel a burning need to buy nor a burning lack if I don't - unless anyone here can convince me otherwise?

Closer to Crusader Kings in terms of complexity, though it is a very different game, gameplay wise. It is somewhat similar to the games that AGEOD like to make (Pride of Nations, Birth of America and so on)

Space Empires 4 is by the way a pretty nice game, so if you enjoy TBS games, then consider this one recommended. It is, in my opinion, the highlight of the bundle.

Dude, Ninja Blade is worth the whole bundle alone. Its a pretty decent game, its the closest youll ever get to Ninja Gaiden on PC. Its a quite decent port of the Xbox 360 version. You definately need an Xbox 360 controller for this one, though, this is the kind of game that just doesnt work with kb + mouse.

I played Battle Mages a long time ago and i recall it being pretty good.

So many interesting games for at least 6 dollars is a no brainer.
They will be adding steam key for Beat Hazard

I decided to give Ironclads a try, and I agree, that was not a fun game. But there is a big but here, I suspect that it has a lot to do with my own expectations of games, and the games relatively strict adherence to historical facts. Wargaming enthusiasts (the crazy kind, who think that Paradox titles are not detailed enough) seem to love these games though. It got an 85% from Armchair general and Wargamer gave it its "Award for excellence".
If there had been an option to play the games at an even higher speed, I suspect that my opinion would have been different, it was the slow speed of everything that was the biggest issue, according to me. So too niche for me, but if you are a history/wargaming buff, then make sure to check it out.
Anyone know how good/fast are the Indiegala dudes to reply their emails? Had some odd payment issues and mailed them about this.

If you are talking about gift codes, I never received mine, so I ended up downloading games/getting gift codes manually...

Anyone else had this issue? (Not that it matters though)

Worth it for Making History alone. Great grand strategy game. Especially great as a learning tool.
Happy Hour is now up, for those who have been waiting patiently (like moi).

The soundtracks haven't been unlocked yet, though. I wonder what they'll be.
3.5 hours left on this great deal -- I've sunk over 10 hours into Puzzle Kingdoms alone.

EDIT (13 hours later):
It seems the bundle has been extended by about 4 days. Disregard what you just read above. ;p
