Indie Royale seems to be a new project to promote developers and get people hooked on some very nice (and potentially cheap games. Right now, they are selling a bundle of 3 games that I know are very good, and a fourth one that I haven’t herd of yet, but seems like a nice, atmospheric old school point and click adventure. You get both Steam and Desura keys for the games that support the service. Be sure to check them out!
Sanctum is one of the games I’ve been meaning to get because the idea seems very fun to me. It’s a genre mix of a first person shooter and a tower defense game, with pretty nice graphics and, what I’m hoping, some fun game play. This one is Steam only.
A.R.E.S is a 2D metroidvania game who’s graphics slightly remind me of one of the Megaman games that got released on the PC in the last decade. Actually, looking at the videos, it does seem more like Megaman than pure metroidvania. This one is both on Steam and Desura.
Nimbus is a nice physics puzzle game where you control a flying craft in a 2D environment, trying to use various boosters in order to get enough lift for reaching the goal. Both Steam and Desura for this one.
Gemini Rue seems to be the adventure game that I’m not familiar with. From what I can tell, it looks like it could be very nice. Think one of the old LucasArts games. Desura only.
Also, be sure to check them in a few weeks, or sign up for the newsletter. They plan on releasing more bundles, and if they are half as good as this one, you’re gonna want to check them out.
