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!

How did you not have this already? If I'd have known, that wrong would have been corrected with extreme prejudice. ;)

That's me being a cheap bastard ;-) I had on my phone, tablet and original pc version, so I just decided to wait for it :D But you are correct, it should be on everyone's shelf. A truly ground breaking game!

Tch, giving to others while stinting yourself. Be careful you don't end up going the way of The Happy Prince. ;)

Glad you got it here on GOG at last, and I agree, folks who don't have it yet should be snapping it up!
All right. 4 on the wishlist: Another World, Depths of Peril, Rogue Legacy, & Steamworld.

With the preorder yesterday and the Summer Sale upcoming, I think - for once - I can hold it to just a couple of impulses. I'm thinking Postal 2 and Conquest: Frontier Wars. Have to remember to pick up Original War as well.

Thanks for the nice sale, GOG!
Any "Thunderscape"-experienced players in here? I flirt with that one

tburger: (do I rmember corectly that some indies were released on saturday before?)

JMich: So far, we haven't had any releases on a weekend, weird as it may sound. And yes, I did check.
Bummer :-(
On the bright side: no excuses not to buy Conquest: FW on this weekend promo :-P
ooooooh

nice selection of indies!

I've been waiting for Rogue Legacy on GOG for a while now and it maybe time to pull the trigger on Steamworld Dig, especially coming down off this SotN high I've been on.

Just FYI - release date of Z was changed to 5th of July on the Steam page...

tinyE: "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.
Thanks for the tip, I never heard of this one but looks exactly like my cup of tea. Bought!
No recommendations for Fist Puncher? It's almost like you people don't want to support games created with a 30-day trial copy of Visual Basic and MS-Paint.

I actually would recommend Fist Puncher if you like old school beat 'em ups. Honestly, the graphics bugged me for about five minutes until I got used to them. It's got a decent RPG-lite system, a bevy unlockable characters, a decent length (longer than most old school beat 'em ups) and in-game achievements that were actually nice to unlock (several of them are co-op). The cons are that it is a bit simplistic and there is a definite difficulty spike at the middle and end of it. Definitely worth $2.99.

Edit: Two thoughts converging, had to separate them.

Anyone know if Darkstone is any good? I like the timeframe and it looks decent but I'm wondering about the gameplay and storyline. Thinking I might want to give it a whirl if it's worth the time.
Awesome promo my dear GOG, thanks! :-) And that's two more titles of my wishlist, with Scratches (already own the regular version on disk, but apparently they added quite a bit in the DC version, curious to what that is) and Darkstone (never played this one, but very curious to explore it!) now added to my shelf. :-) Also got Thunderscape, I like RPGs and I actually prefer TBS combat, so this one sounded nice to pick up as well for this price.

Hmmm, well that provides extra hope for us! The main thing I'd like to have happen is GOG get the game a few days before Steam, b/c otherwise everyone will just buy it on Steam.

GOG should reconsider their policy about revealing if the game will be released here. I think there is a good chunk of users who would wait & buy game here (even later&at higher price) if they knew game WILL be released on gog.com. On the other hand - if they don't know that - they will just head for Steam.

EDIT: I've just dropped an email on KISS Ltd. & Kavcom with question about publishing Z on gog.com - hope they will provide me with some clear answer.

EDIT2: They will :-D
