Rogue Legacy, Thunderscape, Steamworld Dig, and more indies & classics for as little as $1.79!

June Jamboree</a>With yesterday's launch of The Witcher: Wild Hunt exclusive pre-orders we've got quite a lot of new people discovering GOG.com. Hello! Welcome to your DRM-Free one-step online boutique full of gaming goodness! This here, is the June Jamboree sale, one of our weekly promos, always starting on Friday, at 10:00AM GMT and lasting throughout the whole weekend, up to Tuesday at 3:59 in the morning. With all the new faces around, we thought it would be a nice thing to mix our weekend offer a bit, so it features some neat titles both from our unsurpassed classic catalog as well as our extensive indie offer. Let's take a quick look at some of the games, shall we?

Steamworld Dig is one of the newer titles in the offer. It's a platform mining adventure with strong Metroidvanian influences. Take the role of Rusty, a lone mining steambot, as he arrives at an old mining town in great need. Dig your way through the old earth, gaining riches while uncovering the ancient threat that lurks below. Yours for only $4.99, this weekend!

Thunderscape is one of the golden classics from the good old days. It presents you with many time-proven RPG ideas that work together so well, that it's astounding that anyone would want to modify them. You get a party of six brave champions, a large gameworld to explore, lots of items to collect, stats to build, and enemies to slay. With everything that made dungeon crawlers so successful in the 1990 and some very distinctive steampunk-ish feel, this game is highly recommended to all cRPG fans looking for a challenge. Now, only $1.79!

Finally, Rogue Legacy, an indie smash-hit of 2013, known for its insane replayability leading to severe cases of the "just-one-more-playthrough" syndrome. You will get to choose among the children to pick the character whose traits and flaws suit you the most, and continue their parent's quest retaining the stat bonuses and equipment they managed to secure. A difficult, challenging, but extremely rewarding and fun! Only $4.99 until Tuesday!

That's only a small part of our June Jamboree weekend offer. There's 16 more exciting titles, new and old, waiting to be discovered in the promo page. They will tempt you with their ridiculously low prices only until Tuesday, June 10, at 3:59AM GMT, so don't miss out!

Impaler26: Yeah, playing games instead of only buying them for "the collection". I must be crazy!! :D
Help Help! after this promo I own almost half of GOG catalog and barely play 10% of them!!!
One can tell that the summer sale is coming because GOG have had only mixed promos lately.

Some good games here. If anyone's on the fence about Steamworld Dig, don't be, it's a good game, but kinda short (I beat it in 4 and a half hours or so, without getting all the equipment) .
Nice, got Entomorph during the insomnia sale, didn't expect to be get the opportunity to complete the series this soon. Pretty good selection of titles in this one. Swapper and Postal 2 are must-haves.
I guess it's now or never for Shadowgrounds. OY I'm always debating on this one because it seems to have a lot of good and a lot of suck in it. :P Well I have the weekend to ponder this.

Oh and to anyone on any kind of fence, regarding the games here I've played: I adore both Postals for mindless carnage and "Conquest : Frontier Wars" is a must have period; she isn't one of the newest or visually stunning space RTS titles around but she is a classic through and through and you'd be crazy to pass it up.

Interestingly enough, this promo is called the "Explore Strange Worlds Weekend Promo" when you go to the checkout page.
Nice promo, now I know what I'm going to do after work.
As far as AMD cards are concerned... No chance of Darkstone becoming playable in the forseeable future, eh?
I wish I had an old laptop, installing Catalyst v13.1 is not an option for me, unfortunately.

(unrelated to promo, admittedly)

Dang, I was hoping GOG would get "Z" a day early. And with it not even being under "coming soon" (with the game coming to Steam I don't think there's any reason to hide it), I'm rather pessimistic. Really too bad because if GOG had been able to get it early I think it would have sold like hotcakes. (though maybe a W3 preorder would sell even better)

But after my Humongous disappointment a few months back I've learned-ish how to deal with it. (Work can be good because it takes your mind off things)
This a a great promo for me. No "Nice! You own all the games from this promo" bitterness. I boughted 6 games. SIX! Unlike some creepy wierdos I have no plans to play them tho. Seriously. Some people.

I threw in the ARMA promo as well. NFI why.

Also I lied. Ima download and install Steamworld Dig asap. Some people indeed.
One more stupid Promo question: what is the capital of Montana? JOKING!

SERIOUSLY. What is the difference between Shadowgrounds and Shadowgrounds Survivor? Is it worth having both?

Nice promo! Picked up Another World and Scratches... A couple more that sound interesting, but you gotta draw the line somewhere :)
Nothing for me this week. Whew, a chance to catch up on the backlog. Hah, that's funny. See you next week.

tburger: I'm on the fence with Conquest: FW. I'll just wait if Z will be released on Saturday and if not I'll pick it up.

Matruchus: Yeah am waiting for Z also and already have Conquest: Frontier Wars :) But its certainly worth the money in this promo and more.
That's why likely I'll buy it anyway. I hope we will get tomorrow Z release (do I rmember corectly that some indies were released on saturday before?) ...and the price will not be above $9.99.

Huh - Does anyone know if the Steam version of Z will be classic one or Kavcom made some kind of HD version?
