[Armada 2526]

What are you bringing to the table this time around for Indie Sales? Does a deal have to lure you? Or are you sitting there with $10, deciding on whether to get one big game discounted or a couple of smaller ones. You have your options my friend.

The savings are swell this run around the course, and we have everything from sword sims, to tactical RTS, to gravity-light shooters and more. Take a look around and pull the metaphorical trigger on whatever deal fits.

Sales

Impulse is offering some great deals including Makivision’s well received RTS title Sacraboar at 80% off bringing it down to just $4, and an Indie Space Bundle containing both Light of Altair and Armada 2526 for 50% off its standard price tag of $54.90. Mode 7′s Determinance is just $10.20 instead of $17 as well.

GamersGate’s Swedish Smorgasbord Week continues, sales were highlighted previously here but to reiterate: Both PC and Mac versions of Emberwind are 50% off. The same for Bob Came in Pieces and as a bonus the distributor bundles both PC and Mac copies together at no extra cost. Strategy title Imperii is just $2.50 as well.

Steam is running another free weekend for Shattered Horizon, not sure you heard about it. Consequently, the space FPS goes for half off and can be had for just $10 through the weekend, with the free-play portion ending tomorrow at 1 PM Pacific time. Get your kicks in now if you want a free go ’round.

Launch Discounts

Steam also lists CINEMAX, s.r.o.’s RPG Numen: Contest of Heroes at 10% off for its launch week.

Much improved battles, including improved ship behavior, AI, pacing and interface

Many small improvements and fixes

Indie Sales, for the people. As we’ve been forced to in the past (fortunately!), we must highlight the stand-out of the group: Sleep is Death, two copies, pay what you want (min. $1.75). This is a whole different kind of experience that is at least worth what you’re willing to contribute to give it a try, it’s not for everybody but give it a chance to sweep you away with the possibilities.

While far and away the best sale out there, SiD is not the only offering of Indie discounted goodness this weekend; oh no, not by a long shot. Oh and remember, if for whatever odd reason you haven’t come across and donated to The Humble Indie Bundle, it’s still on until midday tomorrow, Saturday May 15. The rest of the offerings from across the web:

Sales

AI War: Fleet Command, its expansion The Zenith Remnant, and an already discounted bundle of both have been slashed in half on GamersGate as part of the distributor’s Space Battle Week promotion.

Come to think of it Gratuitous Space Battles (along with its ‘Complete’ bundle), Flotilla, Armada 2526, Light of Altair and Evochron Legends and Renegades are all half-off with the promotion with other smaller discounts offered up as well, check out the full list here through the weekend.

Bob Came in Pieces is 50% off on Direct2Drive, bringing the ship rebuilder down to just $4.95 as the distributor’s Deal of the Week. The sale runs through May 21, check out Peter E’s review.

Both Steam and D2D are offering Torchlight for 50% off. Note that’s $10, not the $5 which the game has been discounted to before and probably will again.

Gamerizon’s puzzle game Quantz is 70% off on Steam, bringing the title down to just $3, you can check out my review if you wish.

Steam is offering The RailWorks Glasgow Airport Rail Link add-on at $10 off its standard $40 price (25% off), with those who have purchased the Class 380 add-on for the train sim title receiving a much better discount at nearly 75% off.

Mode 7′s (The guy’s working on the much anticipated Frozen Synapse) sword-fighting multiplayer title Determinance is $11 down for $17 on Impulse.

Pre-Order Discounts

Frictional Games’ upcoming survival horror Amnesia: The Dark Descent is being offered for 20% off on GamersGate for those who purchase before its release on August 15. The title will run $20 but can be had for both Mac and PC for just $16 prior to launch.
