Another week, another batch of glorious discounts on already fine priced indie titles. Maybe not as much depth as prior editions but we’re certainly not short on deep discounts on solid to great indies.
Caffeine Monster is amazing and is running a ‘pay what you want’ sale for its title Smiley’s Shooty Adventure. It deserved its own posting so feel free to check out the full details here. The rest of the web’s offerings:
Sales
Both Torchlight and Altitude are 50% off on Direct2Drive’s third week of its Spring Sale promotion. Torchlight has been priced lower but at $10 it’s still a steal if you for some reason haven’t picked it up yet. The multiplayer arcade fun of Altitude at only $5 should have more than a few parting with their Lincolns. Sale ends Monday when hopefully some new Indie’s pop-up for Week 4.
The Mac version of Max and the Magic Marker is 50% off on GamersGate taking it down to just $10. Any Mac’ers looking for more info on the game should check out Geoff’s review.
Pre-Order Discounts
Frictional Games, developer of the Penumbra series, has listed its upcoming first person survival horror title Amnesia: The Dark Descent on GamersGate with a nice 20% discount on the $20 title for those who pre-order before its release on…WOW AUGUST 15, so this deal will apparently be around all summer I guess. It applies to both the PC and Mac versions.
GamersGate is also offering a 10% discount for those who purchase Alawar’s Hamlet before it’s release, which apparently doesn’t arrive via the distributor until May 12.
Launch Discounts
DnS Development’s side-scrolling action title Booster Trooper has launched on Steam with a 10% discount off the $10 standard. We haven’t touched on the game here, and honestly I’ve never heard of it before but it has a very nice look to it and is at first look reminiscent of Bionic Commando Rearmed. The Steam page linked above also offers a discounted four-pack at $30 standard that also carries the 10% discount.
Gaijin Entertainment’s Wings of Prey expansion ‘Wings of the Luftwaffe’ ($15) launch on GamersGate is celebrated with a 20% discount.
Spring Cleaning Contest!
