Santa is going to have to be working overtime to make this coming Christmas seem anywhere near noteworthy. The past month or two has seen a chain of Humble Bundles, Indie Royales and more dumping dozens of great discounted indie games on us. Now, indie co-operative Show Me The Games is hosting a 21 game sale for the next two weeks. Check it out.
The gimmick (if you can even call it that) over at SMTG is as simple as you can get; Every penny goes straight to the developers involved, no middle-man, no bundling. It’s just a shared storefront with an eclectic grab-bag of indie titles. The full lineup at the moment is:
- Frozen Synapse – 60% off
- TV Manager 2 – 50% off
- AI War: Fleet Command – 50% off
- New Star Soccer 5 – 50% off
- Laxius Force 3: The Last Stand – 40% off
- Project Aftermath – 50% off
- Gratuitous Space Battles – 50% off
- Mr Robot – 50% off
- Evochron Mercenary – 50% off
- Starscape – 50% off
- Planet Stronghold – 50% off
- Solium Infernum – 50% off
- Scoregasm – 50% off
- Word Pirate – 50% off
- Tidalis – 50% off
- Frayed Knights: The Skull of S’mahk-Daon – 15% off
- Magical Diary: Horse Hall – 50% off
- Smugglers IV – 50% off
- Revenge Of The Titans – 75% off
- VVVVVV – 50% off
- Space Pirates & Zombies – 33% off
As you can see, it’s a fairly broad mix of games, from shooters to space sims to strategy to RPGs and more. You can see a trailer for each game on the sales page. While the discounts here aren’t quite as crazy as the pay-what-y0u-want madness of recent bundle packages, there’s some notable bargains to be snapped up here, especially if you weren’t keeping an ear to the ground and let a bundle or two slip past.
I’ve personally been looking for an excuse to buy ambitious one-man indie space shooter/sim Evochron Mercenary for quite some time. Perhaps I’ll take the plunge now. Likewise with hellish strategy/board-game Solium Infernum. I’d also highly recommend Tidalis and AI War – two very creative takes on their respective genres (puzzle and RTS) by Arcen Games.
