Risk of Rain, the GOAT Roguelite
It's pretty unknown if you don't spend a lot of time on /v/

>>381601610
If they're both the same price, it doesn't really matter. The DC doesn't add anything worth mentioning.

Should I get I Have No Mouth? I'm reading the short story and loving it, but I've heard that the game has aged like milk

>>381601593

Sacred GOLD is currently 2 bucks. Not a hidden gem, really, but if you like older Diablo clones, this is one of the best by far. The open world was pretty impressive back then.

I bought shadowrun returns.

>Nuclear Throne
>Gungeon
If you liked those, you'll probably like Hero Siege.

Guess that's a general recommend. The game has flaws, but the wide variety of characters/character classes is great and the combat itself is good enough. It's also down 85% at $0.89.

>>381602646
Also on this note, how is Streets of Rogue?

5HQ9W-X437L-P0EJV
To whoever gets it first, enjoy, my nig.

I need a cute loli game!

>>381603532
the difficulty of Hero Siege is non-existent and so is the fun

I highly recommend
>Deathtrap Dungeon
Action adventure Dungeon Crawler with incredible dungeon design. Very creative puzzles, secret goodies, and a varied bestiary. Controls are a little dated to be quite honest but they're good for a pre OoT game. It's 80% off
>Gurumin: A Monstrous Tale
Zelda-like by the guys who made Ys. It's a little on the easier side, but the combat mechanics are tight as fuck. The game can be played like a traditional 1 tap Zelda game or you can go for crazy air juggles if you like.

Why has no-one mentioned the huge Talos principle and and zachtronic games discount

>>381602882
If you can get past the graphics, you could check out The Last Door 1&2.

The problem with a lot of these threads is inconsistency of quality. People recommend stuff just because it's cheap (see: Kingdoms of Amalur which comes up every thread).

Here are some games that are pretty agreed upon as great that are dirt fucking cheap:
>Tales of Maj'Eyal
A roguelike with lots of different classes. Mouse support. Easy to learn and get into. Static world-map (mostly) but feels varied as hell. Highly recommended. It gets updates fairly often, too.

>Hexcells Series
Puzzle game that kind of plays like picross. If you're a fan of that, you'll be a fan of this.

>King's Bounty Series
Strategy game where you have units that move on hex-cells. The series is cheap as FUCK and there's a demo as well. It gets tiring after a awhile, but it's damn good. For a similar experience that is also cheap, see Lords of Xulima

>Pixeljunk Monsters
If you like tower defense, this one is great as it is a bit more hands on since you have a little dude to control. It also has co-op, which is actually quite good. All of the Pixeljunk games are good and cheap cheap.

>Puzzle Agent
It's Layton-Lite with less bullshit. Enough said.

>The Wolf Among Us
Telltale's best work. Seriously. It's a damn good point n click.

>>381602214
>Another World
My fucking nigga. No dialogue just fucking pure unfolding minimalist story. Too bad they killed the hero in the sequel.

>>381603912
>People recommend stuff just because it's cheap (see: Kingdoms of Amalur which comes up every thread).
But that game does have a decent rating. Maybe you're the one who's misjudging things.

Are there any old/obscure/lesser known strategy games on sale worth buying?

Real time or turn based are both fine.

Still waiting on Albino Lullaby to release the next chapter.

I feel like they'll be standalone stories, but I've been curious what they'll do with it.

>>381604393
Parts of it, but not the entire game.

>>381601593

I now just realized this game's similarities with SOMA, even the ending of both games are somewhat similar...

>>381604486
The combat is as good as Darksiders. Darksiders is a tedious, boring game. I'm just warning other Anons that need a bit more stimulation and quality. I mean I can list more games too, but I tried to pick rarely mentioned stuff, unlike good stuff that gets frequently mentioned like
>EYE
>STALKER series
>Killer is Dead
>Super Meat Boy
>Killing Floor (is free right now)
>Spacechem
>Divine Divinity
Etc.

some of my favs:

>Fran Bow
enjoyed it alot for a point and click. only 6-8 hours long, but the puzzles are fun and its a good mix between spooky and "feelsy".
>This War of Mine
base-building and surviving with lots of moral dilemmas. good replayability too.
>LISA
pretty mature-themed RPG for fans of the surreal and people who don't mind shitty graphics and mediocre jrpg-gameplay
>pathologic
mindfuck and trading simulator, spooky af.
>underrail

Is Divinity: Original Sin any good?

>>381602882
I'd suggest Monstrum. It doesn't have a ton of content overall, but it's one of those games that's fun to play over and over. Plus I found it scary as fuck the first few times I played it.

I've also heard good things about it, and heard that it's best to go into the game as blind as possible. I already bought it for the sale but I'm not getting around to it soon; Hollow Knight is at the top of my priority list.

I enjoyed the time I spent with the game but would hardly call it terraforming or farming. It's platforming and the loop becomes apparent very quickly. It's a vertical collectathon exploration platformer but with a visible end in sight and some alright freedom of movement.

>>381605590
I love this game dearly

Looking for a puzzle game that will leave me pleasantly surprised but not overwhelmed. I really liked the talos principle and am trying to decide between the Turing test and The Witness.

Mordheim: City of the Damned $10

Gameplay is a cross between XCOM and Valkyria Chronicles. Hardcore mode only. I honestly think it improves upon XCom in a few ways. Equally brutal but also more forgiving in the form of permanent injury instead of instant death.

>>381606116
I got the Witness when it was part of the Humbloe Monthly for $12. I'd say wait until holiday or it goes much cheaper because it's a great game but I feel like it's still not cheap enough. If you do want it, the Braid+Witness bundle is cheaper http://store.steampowered.com/bundle/2501/The_Witness__Braid/

>>381606623
Not that anon. I think it's alright and it has lots of puzzles... the problem I have with it is that a lot of environmental puzzles are finicky and more about standing in the right place to line shit up than it is figuring out what to do. A lot of people liked that aspect of the game, but it turned me the fuck off. Also sometimes it can be difficult to control or see what you want to. Overall I think it's worth playing for maybe 10 bucks. It's a polished, decent puzzler with some annoying aspects.

It tries WAY too hard to be artsy

>>381606056
what a qt

>>381606116
>>381606435
can confirm. It's pretty and some puzzles are good, but it's not all that rewarding.

>>381606630
>I honestly think it improves upon XCom in a few ways.
It does, but it also adds even more RNG which definitely isn't an improvement.

Still a fun game, I just wish it had more maps so it didn't have to recycle the same ones every other level.

Its quickly become my go-to game for relaxing and just doing dumb shit to pass time and causing general chaos or seeing how far I can get into the game without destroying anything or killing anybody, or just picking the Wrestler class and exclusively using map objects as weapons with the mutator that makes everybody hostile to me.

If you're willing to put the effort in you can just outright replace the character sprites. The threads about the game when it came out were almost as comfy as the game itself, and just about as gay.

>>381607837
It had a few moments that were a bit too edgy for its own good, but those aside I really liked the tone.

My only real criticism would be that it relied too much on notes and logs.

I enjoyed DOOM a lot as well. I wish they hadn't bothered with the cinematic one-button insta-takedowns though. That was the one element of the game that really kept bugging me and taking me out of it.

I get why people enjoyed it, but I just didn't.

I really disliked the monster-arena stuff and hated the implementation of cinematic kills - especially the chainsaw.
The upgrade system felt out of place and shoehorned in, but I didn't really mind the runes for whatever reason.

What really made me despise it was the soundtrack. I think Mick Gordon just really dropped the ball on it, but that's entirely down to taste.

>>381608590
Its definitely on the easy side depending on the class you pick or how much money you manage to get to keep buying ammo for your pistol, but I did not use the term Roguelike Deus Ex lightly, you can complete each floor as stealthily and non lethal as you wish, or as loud and full of mayhem and destruction as you have explosives on your person. The bulk of its replayability definitely comes from that and how differently each class can play from each other.

Age of Wonders 3 is 75% off. Definitely the best fantasy 4X game in recent years IMO. The DLC is only 40% off unfortunately, but Eternal Lords is worth it. Golden Realms is nice but optional (unless you really want that Halfling race), and the Deluxe DLC is pointless unless you really want to give them more money.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/259060/Dominions_4_Thrones_of_Ascension/
If you're looking for something a bit less user-friendly and a lot more complex, Dominions 4 is 66% off right now. It's one of my favorite games of all times, but you probably need a little bit of autism to really get into it because the UI is pretty bad. On the upside, it has no DLC and still gets free updates fairly regularly.

>>381609518
All maps are hand-made. I wish there was a random generator, though.

>>381609214
>I really disliked the monster-arena stuff and hated the implementation of cinematic kills


This is literally my only gripe with the game. Unfortunately, it is a huge one and I had to stop 30 minutes into the game and drop it.

Taking control away from the player for a split secondo for glory kills after they're going really fast around the map while shooting is very jarring and just really terrible to experience.

And they can't turn them off because the entire balance of the game is centered around them since glory kills give health and ammo. NOT doing them is severely gimping yourself. Almost game-breaking. It's pure and uneeded faggotry.

>>381609518
It isn't randomgen though

Some if yall need to get titan quest. Only 4 ameri-dollars. Super fun I swear.

>>381609553
Seconding Dominions 4. The magic system and the combinations you can set up really make this a very strategically deep game. Its definitely not a game for normies though. It would be too hard to grasp the many many things you can do with its magic system.

Is there anything that plays similarly to Sid Meier's Pirates or at least evokes the same themes?

>>381609553
I wanted to like Age of Wonders 3 but it felt light on tactics heavy on grind.

It seemed to boil down to build up army, lose it to a big powerful monster then hit end turn for 20 turns to build up another army, repeat...

>>381609214
>upgrade system
This is what utterly killed it for me. It would have been a great game if I could just kill shit with my chosen weapon, but the fact I had to do what felt like achievements just to not fall behind in the power curve just did not feel fun. I hate achievements.

Any recommendations for turn based or card games?

>>381610302
>I'm thinking Space Hulk, although I'm not entirely sold on the idea of space marine conga line.
Well, Space Hulk Ascension is more like XCOM/Xenonauts where you can have your squad of dudes develop over time and you can get attached to them and have to replace a super soldier with a scrub if you let him die. Definitely look up some gameplay of the normal Space Hulk first or pirate it since that is a 1:1 recreation of the board game in digital video game form, but if Terminator Conga Lines turns you off really bad, then there's not really anything that can be done.

If you're a glutton for punishment, grind, RNG dickery, and can easily immerse yourself in a greatly designed world with amazing artstyle, then Darkest Dungeon should be top priority for you.

What's it entail?

>>381610137
Are you talking about the campaign, skirmishes, or multiplayer?

In multiplayer this is just plain not true, you'd get wrecked before the 20 turns were up if you were doing this poorly. In the campaign this is sometimes possible, but almost always a sign that you're doing something wrong.

You're most likely talking about AI skirmish maps though, where this is entirely possible. Especially on big maps where you might not meet an actual enemy for many turns early on. A large part of getting good at the game is knowing which fights to pick and which to avoid. It's entirely possible to win these maps, even on higher difficulties, without ever losing a single unit as long as you know what you're doing. It's kinda like HoMM where you can have a strong stack defending something you really want, so you just have to ignore it a while and come back for it when you're stronger. Against the AI you can actually turtle and grind up some strong armies to beat everything, but against any competent player this just gets you wiped off the map. Make sure you build some basic units to defend your cities from random indies (in most cases, a few basic archers behind a wall will be enough) and the actively go and explore your surroundings. Focus early research on scouting units and simple summons, with maybe a cheap direct-damage spell to help you in combat.

Once you hit the tier 2 units and hire a hero or two, you can start actively clearing out the dungeons and tougher resource buildings near you, as well as start expanding by either taking nearby indie cities or by building Settlers and creating your own cities, depending on the map.

With some classes, most notably the Warlord, you can also pretty effectively do a rush strategy on smaller maps, and wipe your enemy out before you even bother with all the dungeons and shit, but if you're playing singleplayer anyway it's probably more fun to take your time and explore the map for a while.

void destroyer is definitely a hidden gem

>>381604538
>created the game from the ground up for multiplayer
seems like the opposite to me, the multiplayer feels tacked-on but the singleplayer is excellent
I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the glory kill mechanic since it looked like it would just be the same handful of animations over and over, but it's neat being able to target different body parts to do different executions, and its context sensitive to walls and such too

>>381610893
Not a bad game, but I wouldn't recommend it because it's just bland as fuck.

The art is nice for an indie game, but the story and gameplay are entirely "meh."

Bastard Bonds is around five burger-dollars. It's like Final Fantasy Tactics but with orc husbandos, pixellated dongs, and burly manly men. There's also big titted harpies and monstergirls too you can "bond" with and have them join your party. There's a very high party limit too, so you're encouraged to recruit as many people as you can. I think there's like 30 something "official" characters and some are hard to find or have certain requirements, then you can recruit any monster you find so long as you have the skills, as well as make your own characters who you can find in the game world as well.

I'm not the guy you're replying to, but you're kind of right.

The game is enjoyable despite being simple. The main issue however is that it takes too long to complete compared to how basic the combat is. And with the scaling issues at higher levels that I also mentioned earlier in the thread that means that you probably get bored of the game by the time you get halfway through. If most of the filler levels were taken out and the game was half as long, it would've been a lot more fun IMO.

I think it got a balance patch at some point after release which may or may not have improved things, but I haven't played it in a long time so I couldn't tell you about that.

The game relies heavily on its subject matter to make up for some shortcomings.

I was a bit disappointed by oxenfree. some anons recommended it to me because I asked for games that used number station-style mystery/spookiness, and while it was a pretty good game the radio stuff was basically fluff

It's still a cute adventure game with the occasional spooky moment (which are all kind of ruined by the characters completely under reacting to what's happening to them) and a great conversation system. I'd recommended for 5 burgerbux

It's not really bad, just kind of disappointing. Though if you're planning on playing all 3 eventually, you should definitely play Returns first, because going back to Returns after playing Dragonfall or Hong Kong will feel awful.

Whatever you do, stay away from Chronicles/Boston Lockdown. It looks the same, but it's a shitty online game made by a different company.

Radiant mode with a few of the mods available on the workshop makes it pretty easy/casual friendly, though I'm starting to get frustrated at some of the Crimson Court content.

>>381614108
Yeah, they patched in Radiant mode a while back, which is the game's version of easymode. I wouldn't call it casual because it's still pretty challenging unless you already know what you're doing, but it's easier and less grindy than the original game.

The game takes place on an abandoned cargo ship in the middle of the ocean. Your goal is to find a way to escape while avoiding the monster that is wandering around the ship looking for you. It's pretty much a game of cat and mouse at its core.

The replayability comes from the randomized elements. There are three different monsters that it chooses from each time you start a new game, and large portions of the ship's interior consist of randomly generated hallways. There's multiple possible ways of escaping, and no checkpoints or anything like that. Once you die you have to start a new game.

The music can be pretty terrifying, too.

I always thought of creeper world as a Tower defence. Good game.

GemCraft - Chasing Shadows was a flash game like Kingdom Rush. Lots of levels and replayability. Not the greatest visually but rather comfy and only $3

Dungeon of the endless is an RPG/roguelite/tower defence hybrid. Really cool visuals I got a good 12 hours out of it.

Blackguards 2 is a tactical isometric turnbased RPG with a great and engaging Story. It's challenging, difficult and absolutely great! The best thing: The Story is set in Aventuria, the world of Europes biggest CRPG.

Only 2,99€ or together with the first game for under 5€.

So yeah it's not amazing but it's not glitchy and runs smooth
The gameplay is pretty fun too outside of missions where you are forced to sit too close to ground

It's even in a cheapish bundle with bunch of other games

Battle brothers: Mount and blade as a turn based game. Nice atmosphere
if you're a warhammer fan consider blood bowl 2. turn based RNG, character levelling and team management. pretty fun.

>>381614613
Oh, I hard forgotten about this series, thanks anon!

You only recommend the 2nd game?

>>381614895
I would say no, though Crimson Court does add a fair bit of content and - after they've properly balanced it - is worth ten bux. Mainly I'm not sure how many of the balance changes and graphics tweaks made with Crimson Court were patched into the base game.

>>381615072
I thought the second game is much better suited for new players that don't know much about TDE and Aventuria. The first game is even more niche than the second and therefore a bad introduction to the genre and the story.

Allow me to shill this game that nobody on /v/ ever heard of:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/296970/Renowned_Explorers_International_Society/

It's a turn-based tactics game that looks simple but has a lot of charm, depth and replayability. A single game doesn't last long and you can easily finish the game multiple times per day once you know what you're doing, but the charm of the game is that you can keep playing it by using different characters, choosing different locations, and keep discovering new bits of story and stuff.

Combat involves a system of moods, where you can put your enemies (and allies) in a mood that gives them bonuses or penalties. You can win fights by scaring all enemies off, or by charming them. Or you can just beat them up the old-fashioned way.

>>381615072
the first game is good too. It's a bit more free on the character since you create your own protag and the combat is still stellar. Some people prefer prewritten protagonists though like in 2

I want to shill the fuck out of this game because I impulse bought it full price and loved it but I know it's a bit too pricey to be a good entry for a "hidden gem" thread.

I get 30 burgercoins is probably too high for most people to want to spend on an indie title but this is a very good game. if nothing else, put it on your watch list and wait for it to go lower.

>>381614613
Looks kind of like the GC/Wii fire emblem games. If I go into it expecting something like that, will I be disappointed?

>>381615279
All these mood combos have me completely stumped. Did half a campaign and hit a wall.

>>381614895
It's probably better to start without the Crimson Court. The new content is a bit harder than the old stuff, and if you get the DLC you start getting Crimson Court-related events right from the start which might be frustrating.

>characters completely under reacting
I didn't really feel that at all, I mean to me the spoops were so weak anyway that I thought they reacted appropriately. I definitely did find the radio stuff as fluff though especially the ending I got where everything resolved itself, I survived and the game even said that no one talked about the spoops again, everything I'd done felt so pointless. Still found it worthwhile for the conversations and group dynamics and sunk 4 hours into it, debating on whether to do a "bad" playthrough which would add another ~3 hours.

>>381615434
Is there anything specific you're having trouble with? What team are you using?

It's not a shame to lose. Trial and error are very much a part of the game. Since campaigns are short, it's no big deal to fail your first few attempts until you find a team that works for you. Some characters and combinations are definitely harder to use well than others. Also, some events (like the giga-gorilla one) are almost guaranteed to give you a game over if you go into them unprepared, so it's best to just avoid them unless you know what you're doing.

Picture related, it's the team I used to beat the game for the first time.

The wrestling chick was great for taking aggro and also did surprisingly good dmg.

The chick in the middle was a total bitch and would just utterly demoralise the enemies to the point of running away.

The little chick with the knife was like a rogue, iirc she had like a double attack ability so she had great potential for bursting down enemies with physical dmg.

>>381616687
It's kind of janky. Like, not as bad as when the port released, but the last patch was in february and 60fps causes enough issues that they made the F1 key into a dedicated 30fps lock toggle as a workaround.

$10 (DLC is free), odd combination of RPG, 4X-ish (technically no eXpansion), and...card strategy? Unique characters with individual stats and gear, resource collection and crafting, questing, base upgrades, different ways to beat things though everything is done through the card game. If you enjoy the card part then it's probably worth your time. Comes with a custom event creator so you can make your own quests n shit.
