Nice deal. I have all of them except Septerra Core, which I have shied away from in the past because I'm not sure I like "JRPG"s, but for $2.99 I'll give it a try.

Thanks for the link, but I dont' consider games like
Dawn of War 2, Bioshock, Oblivion, Spore, Puzzle Quest, Patricians and Merchants Box, etc as Sci Fi RPG. :p

Spellforce is very much an RPG. If not for the RTS bits, it could pass as an ARPG like Sacred. In some places, depending on your character build / difficulty level you can ignore the RTS battles altogether, and just demolish everything yourself.
I'd say it's closer to Warcraft 3 than HoMM.
(I know WC3 isn't much of an rpg at all, it's just the closest other thing I can think of)
There's a demo, which may give you a better idea what it's like.

Didn't like sacred 2, but as I have heard the original sacred is better I have been waiting for a discount.
Therefore I have purchased it. Hopefully it'll be good.

Thanks for the follow-up. I am getting the demo from Gamespot as I type.

Just to throw my .02 in here, Stonekeep is good IF you can get past all the flaws it has and the asinine design. Septerra is a good game but a JRPG by nature so expect turn based battles and that quirky anime style.
Probably grabbing Spellforce from this.

I have always had a soft spot for JRPG's after playing FF6 (FF3 here in the US), even though I am predominantly a PC gamer. FF6 remains one of the most memorable gaming experiences I have EVER had. At 3 bucks, I just can't NOT buy Septerra Core (-1 DOUBLE NEGATIVE!!!), which I had forgotten all about.

I might pick up Sacred. As far as Spellforce goes I picked it up on Steam when it was $3 but only played the demo -- it basically played like an RTS or as someone else mentioned: Warcraft 3. Of course, that's just the demo.

I see a lot of folks wondering about Septerra Core. If you like JRPGs, it's fairly good - not excellent, but you'll get your $3 worth. Much like Shogo or Oni, the presentation is distinctively western in spite of the anime-style trappings, so those who find anime storytelling unpalatable may be more receptive to Septerra Core.
