I got both sometime ago, got bloody irritated with SE5 flickering regularly, found out it was a DX problem and went to try SE4 instead. It looks less pretty but does work better for the most part.

The eXceed series is -66% off for the next week ($3.39 for all 3), which means it's cheap enough now that you can actually make a profit by buying it and selling the various trading cards you get by playing it.

Haven't actually played the games, but really, that title art.

But uh, a lot of them are on sale, so this post is relevant.

Do Steam Early Access games go on sale? Google hasn't provided me with a good answer and I want to know whether or not I'm wasting my time waiting for Crypt of the Necrodancer to go on sale.

[Catastrophic lolcats]

Early access games do go on sale but they're generally games that have been in early access for a while. The discount on early access aren't nearly as deep either and usually top out at around 25% (some exceptions exist).

Crypt of the Necrodancer likely won't go on sale for a while since it's still a fairly new (and popular) game. Everything is up in the air during the christmas sales though so that would be the best chance for a sale unless you really need the game now.

Incidentally I've been playing King's Bounty The Legend lately and so far I've liked it. The difficulty is a bit here and there but it's fun RPG-lite with tactical turn-based battles. I definitely urge anyone interested in that kind of fare to look up a few better reviews out there and make up their mind about it.
(in my case it was RPS that sold the game to me a few sales back)

Do Steam's daily deals (or whatever they're called) count as sales?
They probably do.

Because Awesomenauts is 80 whopping % off right now (2€ in here at least), as are all of its DLCs (with the exception of the Starstorm expansion which is 30% off).
Granted, the game goes on sale all the freaking time (once every two months or so, usually right before a big patch drops another 3 pieces of DLC ) but it's still worth every penny IMO. (but I'm biased, what do you expect? )

So yeah, just throwing this PSA out there.

Buy Awesomenauts. Do it. DO EEEET.

So it isn't an Elona rehash? Remarkable.

Yyyiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissssss!


Steam was an idiot though. It sent me an e-mail saying that my wishlisted Starstorm expansion was 80% off, for $3.... I was so sad when it wasn't!

King's Bounty is more like Heroes of Might and Magic (or the reverse, I forget if the original KB came out before the first HoMM). I'm sure there are a few other games in the same genre that I've played but I forget them. I guess Age of Wonders (and Eador) are also similar, though while in these games individual units are individuals, in KB and HoMM they're comprised of stacks of the same unit.

Elona is its own beast and mostly defies definition, but is best described as a roguelike. It is completely different from KB.

[Delta Foxtrot]

First was King's Bounty, then HoMM. So for youngsters like myself, King's Bounty The Legend plays a lot like HoMM. I suppose that Eador and the first AoW are apt comparisons keeping in mind the myriad differences. At least The Legend isn't as masochistically difficult as Eador.
I would still like to voice out my hearty recommendation to look into King's Bounty The Legend if any of the above mentioned games have brought you fun and laughs in the past.

So. PSYCHONAUTS! And a few dozen other platformers on a GOG sale.
Also Witchers 1 & 2 80% off.

Edit:
Sorry I got a bit hasty with posting.
Warhammer 40K stuff on Gamersgate. Dawn of Wars, Space Marine, all the good ones.

[Sonlirain]

The original Kings bounty was first but Might and Magic was more or less released in the same time (note Might and Magic not Heroes of Might and Magic) much later on HoMM was released and it borrowed quite a few elements from Warlords and Kings Bounty.

Now KB:TL takes elements of the classic KB but implements real time into the overworld instead of turns.

Also i'm kinda... meh with hte witcher. I played the first game for several hours and got through the first act (i'm in Wyzima now) but i'm kinda... meeh about carrying on. I guess the game really depends on its story to carry it or something.

Sanctum 2 is -85% off through Monday, so it costs $2.24 ($3.74 with the DLC). It's a very fun game that I have already spent many hours on, playing as a combination of a tower defense and a first person shooter. It's also got constant online server games, meaning that if you have it you can just load up a game online and play with others immediately, which is a big improvement over the first one.

[MaximumZero]

Kalypso has a few things on sale, notably Tropico 5 and The Big Cheese DLC for said Tropico 5. Be El Presidente for 33% off!
