AMAZING BUNDLE! Pity I have all of those except Shattered Haven and the latest AI War expansion...

HRNNNGH

Do I or don't I...

Bluddy: I recommend Shattered Haven. It's a very fun little game with great music and decent atmosphere. The puzzly levels aren't too hard and involve some quick reflexes, and there's some interesting plot going on as well. Think To The Moon but without as good of a plot, but with environmental puzzles and zombies instead. I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected to.
Thanks for that. I was actually coming in here to specifically ask about that game as it was the only one that interested me in this bundle.

Leroux: I've got none of the games, are they any good? The best rated seems to be AI War, but that's also the one that looks the least appealing to my genre preferences. I think I've tried the Tidalis demo and thought it was neither bad nor particularly interesting, so what about A Valley Without Wind and Shattered Haven?
AVwW: very ambitious (the idea is probably closest to my "dream game"), doesn't quite live up to the promise, incredibly addictive up to a point. Also, very pretty. Worth a look.

Shattered Haven: never got into it; couldn't figure out how it works, then got stuck. I bought and tried it on release, so chances are Arcen has already fixed the problems I encountered; they're very good with fixes.

Note that the bundle includes mp3 OSTs for all Arcen games and as such is worth buying for the soundtracks alone.

I REALLY wish they made that clearer... thought it was just the 1 album... like every other IR bundle... and as such didn't pay at least $8 >< - there's no way to increase payment either ><

Pretty sure at the time I bought it the line WASN't written in (slightly) larger font... and they could've put pics of ALL the damn OSTs...

And while I'm ranting... I'm sure IR USED TO include game OSTs in their bundles... and not niclke and dime for them like they do now...

Pretty pissed off atm...

EDIT - emailed IndieRoyale support and they added the bonus for me regardless. Now that's what I call customer service! :D

Can anyone that has bought this bundle confirm that all the games are really DRM free? Just download and install?
I'm asking because i bought the previous indie royale bundle and one of the games (Pressure) required a cd key plus online activation. (Yes, i consider online activation DRM).

Thank you!

Considering how I already have AI War + the original 3 expansions, AVWW1 (and AVWW2 since I was an early adopter of the first game), I'd be getting this for the two AI War expansions I don't have yet, plus Shattered Haven, which didn't get a lot of good reviews. I'm really hoping they add Skyward Collapse to this, as that's the only Arcen game I'm interested in, but don't have.

Edit: So i guess the other main draw would be the soundtracks. Haven't decided yet if they'd be worth rebuying AI War...

Haven't installed anything yet, but most of the games come with a CD key. Not sure if online activation is needed.

I want to buy this set but since it doesn't include FLAC versions of the soundtracks, I'm passing on it. :(

Arcen is generally CD key, offline activation and, if you're playing on a LAN, one key can work for multiple players.

I only know for sure the Skyward Collapse is entirely DRM-free.

Seems like they added a Mystery game, any speculations on what it may be?

Skyward Collapse, most likely. It's the only game left developed by Arcen.

They already mentioned the mystery game when the bundle started, though they removed it from the display after a while. Now it has returned.

No one knows which game it'll be exactly, but there's only one remaining Arcen game that's not in the bundle, and that's "Skyward Collapse".
