no discount / no promo

As soon as I though "hey, Madshot looks kinda neat" I realised it's probably another meeple bleeping roguelite/like. And of course, the gods of predictable disappointment did not disappoint.

Most of the look quite interesting. No instabuys for me, but I wishlisted some of them (EDENGATE, The Magigal Mixture Mill and KINGDOM of the DEAD)..

Thank you. Please can we get the Unholy Soundtrack too? It's free on Steam.

Also kinda sad that none of these come with achievements. 505 games used to have them in the past.

That's a very interesting mix! Not outright hating any of those games.

I'll throw in a recommendation for Kingdom of the Dead. A bit janky (possibly patched up now) but the shooting is fun enough, the visual style unusual, and soundtrack catchy.

Edengate looks nice but according to HLTB we are talking about avg. playtime of approx 2 hours. I don't have troubles with walking sims or shorter playtime but 2 hours might be a bit too short fo me.

"Edengate" looks like something, I can see myself enjoy.
The price is nice, but it also made me curious enough, to look up the game on HLtB.
I mean, €6,99 for ~2 hours of playtime isn't exactly price gouging, but...I will wait for a sale. Sorry, devs.

"The Magical Mixture Mill" also looks interesting.
But it's also no instabuy for me.

Same parent company, but this is a somewhat different 505.

And heh, not one word about the games in the release post. Here's a bunch of links, the end.

Honestly, for me, it is the length to price point ratio.

If a game is super short and cheap, I don't really have a problem with that. If it is super short and pricey, then it better really knock my socks off for the entirety of its duration.

"Mixed" reviews on Steam for Edengate. It's not exactly expensive though. I'm listening to the soundtrack right now and can at least confirm that it is quite good, with a bit of an 80s synth vibe.

Also mixed reviews for MAGICAL MIXTURE MILL on steam prevented me of buying it... the genre tags were just scratching my life sim itch, but reviews say, that it's too grindy and unrewarding with little in the lore department... one review mentionend the devs improving their game some years in the future, but not at the moment, being busy or something... so won't buy it without discount for now.

Some of them seem somewhat interesting but i'll have to take a closer look since i know nothing about them.

There are now discounts. Glad I waited for a bit. Kinda figured Gog would forget.
