Longshot, but anyone played Age of Grit? It's a steam-airship old West game. I stumbled across it searching around for things related to Tales of the Ketty Jay books.

[MizzouRah]

Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars

It's only beta right now, but close to release. Kind of a bit of Total War/Might and Magic/with empire management, TBS and unique card system.

You can play the beta by purchasing, so far I just played the tutorial but it's definitely grown on me already.

I've been playing this over the last week or so and really enjoy it. It's definitely a combination of HOMM/Kings Bounty - very much so - and X-Com - in terms of combat - with a little "Into The Breach" sprinkled in for good measure. It's a lot of fun.

I did run into a bug that forced me to stop, but that was a few days ago before the full release today. I'm sure it's taken care.

Or Sentinels of Freedom, the X-Com super hero game.. (Based off the Sentinels of the Multiverse bnoard/card game

Thank you both

[SirFozzie]

trust me, I want both games. I'm trying to be smart, my stimulus payment is in, but I want to use it so my family doesn't have to support me for a couple months.

Let us know what you think when you play them, so you can "mesmerize" us into buying them

[Thomkal]

Get Manual Samuel free at Humble Bundle by the end of the weekend. Its a weird adventure game where Samuel makes a deal with Death and must survive where it takes him.

[CrimsonFox]

Ha! I just bought Fantasy General 2 on sale. I was hoping some one else would give us a review . They're certainly on my watch list now.

[Thomkal]

So I noticed the Dark Souls series of games are on Sale on Steam this week, and I've never played them (GASP!), they always looked too well dark to me, and combat too much to handle for stroke slowed hands and hand-eye coordination (i use mouse and keyboard).

So I was wondering what people thought of the games here and would combat be okay given my issues? Okay to start with Dark Souls III or should I start with the first game?

Dark Souls III is pretty much regarded as the easiest of the series.

Reviews have been pretty good - did you continue to enjoy the game?

[Thomkal]

may want to keep an eye on Fanatical next couple days, they are having an "Insanity sale" where they have flash sale on certain games for a short peiod of time. Going to have 50+ games in it. Biggest one right now would be Just Cause 3 at 90% off or $2 for about 24 hours. Also Far Cry 5 80% off for $12. Most deals look like 2 days for the deal. Some of these will be Steam, others Uplay.

Learn Japanese to Survive-Hiragana Battle-93% off or less than .50c
My Time at Portia-$12

I don't know how good a deal it was, but I just got Xcom2 collection for $26.99.

[SirFozzie]

Well, that would buy you 2700 gallons of oil. I think you made a bad deal there GD. (still X_X about oil prices)

What was in the collection?

War of the Chosen with tactical legacy, resistance warrior and reinforcement packs. The set is $99 on Steam right now.

Then yes I would say that is a good deal, well done

[Thomkal]

Looks like they are having a sale on the Might and Magic Series at Gog.com-They have a 6 pack of the first six (and a couple extra things) for $2.50 and some (all?) of the ones after for $1.50 each.

[Thomkal]

Monster Hunter World part of the Fanatical Insanity sale for $17.50

One of my favorite games. I look forward to trying anything that can capture that feel.

I am! I’m nearing the end of Act 2 right now I think. The combat is always fun. It’s enjoyable to think how best to use each character and each ability to try to maximize damage and enemy control. Character progression is swift and interesting. There is some interesting game design choices that I’m not sure about, but overall I’d recommend the game.

[Thomkal]

Borderlands 2 is $5 on Steam, XCom2 is $15

[Thomkal]

Seeing some XCom2 sales this weekend, probably because Chimera Squad is available starting to day. Most have it 75% off or $15. Steam has it free for a week.

[MizzouRah]

Anyone play - Iratus: Lord of the Dead yet?


Looks similar to Darkest Dungeon.

I've enjoyed the game too! What difficulty level did you pick?

[Thomkal]

Total War: Shogun 2 will be free sometime later today on Steam for a week. It's currently selling for $30 so sounds like a good deal. A lot of the other Total War games will be on sale too.

I believe I am playing on “classic.”

I’ve moved onto Act 3 now and still enjoying it.

[MizzouRah]

Anyone playing Gears Tactics? Pretty steep at $60 but the reviews seem favorable and I'm a sucker for TBS games.

I got it as part of GamePass...hope to play tonight. They have an introductory offer where you could join GamePass for $1 for a month and then like $5 per month after that if you stick with it. Get access to 100+ games and you can cancel anytime. Even if you just wanted for Gears Tactic, nice cheap way to try it out
