Looks like the Southern Hemisphere wants it’s own indie bundle and so it is born, the Indie Royale Bundle! A joint venture between IndieGames.com and Desura.
“Oh great another Humble Bundle, meh!”, you say.
Well yes, this is more indie games but that’s not so bad. The games are also available in similar forms to the humble bundles (direct download, desura and steam) and if there are multiplatform versions available they’re there for the grabbing too. The difference is the pricing, this isn’t pay what you want, it’s more community governed. Pay the minimum price and that price will gradually increase for future purchasers, pay more than the minimum and you reduce the price a little. It’s an interesting experiment if nothing else and does stop those dick head $0.01 purchasers. Anyway for the lazy people here are the games. More bundles are dated to be released every 14 days. I’ve spoilered a link to a reddit post that lists some of the upcoming games, you’d be best served to keep checking back because some of them are going to be well worth a purchase.
A.R.E.S. - Side scrolling shoot-explore-m-up. Not bad, entertaining. I thought it could do with being a bit higher res.
Gemini Rue - Adventure, looks alright but I’ve not played it. Just released today on steam and is 15% off at $8.49
Sanctum - Really neat twist on tower defense as you run around in first person putting down towers and taking on the enemies with your own upgraded arsenal. Also has co-op.
Nimbus - Says it’s a puzzle/racer. I know it looks pretty interesting and it’s been in my wishlist for a while so what the hell.
