Steam Summer Sale 2018
Posted: Sun Jun 26, 2016 11:41 pm
That's right wallet, I hope your body is ready, because mine certainly is.
Since I sadly couldn't get enough money to blow it all on DOOM, I decided I should instead focus on some titles that have been on my Wishlist for ages, waiting for a sale.
So, my targets are the following:
1- WORLD END ECONOMiCA - Episode 1 & 2
This is a Visual Novel written and created by Hasekura Isuna. And if that sentence alone isn't enough to make you buy it, then I'll sum it up easier:
TL;DR: Space and Wolf: Merchants on the Moon
So, you know the drill; cute girls and heavy economics. I was actually hoping that Ep3 would've come out already, but I seriously NEED my dose of Hasekura-sensei epicness....
2- ROM- Read Only Memories
This one was on my getcha list since last year; it was added along with Undertale and I was forced to choose between the two. And while I do not by any measure regret my choice, the idea of a Retro-Style Cyberpunk Adventure Point-and-Click game brought to me the fond memories of the very first game I ever saw with those tags; Neuromancer. And while this game's much more lighthearted than the dystopic 80s classic, it has the only thing that could've made that kind of game even better, and that's MGs. Seriously, the Breath of Fire inspiration is all over this game, and that's the kind of thing my good consciousness does not allow me to pirate...
3- Starlight Drifter
This one will most certainly not be on SALE; being a VERY Early Access and all (been barely out for a month). However, I've been following it for a long time now, and it has a very diligent Developer team (the fact every Negative Review has Dev Comments on it says a lot, and even then, many of those have changed to Positive in just this month). I'll only buy it if it HAPPENS to come on SALE. Else, I'll keep watching.
4- Subterrain
The odd one this season, yet also the meatiest. Found about it just last week, and it seems to be an interesting mixture I like to refer to as ''DOOM SPACE: Marscraft 2D''. It combines Minecraft base building and monsters-come-at-night, DOOM's Mars base setting and Dead Space sense of cramped horror. Also, it's randomly generated, so add a dash of NEO Scavenger to the mix. I'll probably wait for a bigger daily sale for this one, but I'll definitely be getting it; as much as I like VNs, they don't last long for me, so I need something to keep my fingers sore until X-Mas.
5- Tales of Maj'Eyal
I should had been able to buy this one, even with the $3 I had left on my card, as it's worth almost half of that on this SALE. Good ol'fashioned Roguelike, for the pure-blooded race of PROUD NERDS who played Sword of Fargoal on the almighty Commodore back at the day the usage of Computers was restricted solely to High GEEK Wizards, graduated from the ACODERmia with at least two rolls of 5 on their HACKING skill; a pleasure none of you GUI-spoiled mouse-using casual-gaming Millenials can even remotely understand.
