If either a mac, console, or vita version existed I would be all over this. It's a shame.

The wording in the title makes me laugh.
I'm thinking like the TC is begging everyone to please give this a chance and you have 40 hours to sleep on it oonceor twice lol

people on the fence should have already purchased this during the CN humble bundle! passing up this game at its current price is almost criminal
It's coming to Xbone.

I guess I should have been more specific. PS3, Wii U, Vita, or a Mac version would get a purchase from me, I don't have any Microsoft based platforms to play on.

Oh yeah, I saw that and it's totally understandable as to why the release was only on PC and now trickling to xbone. It just sucks right now for those of us without Microsoft platforms to play games on.

Bought a copy for myself and one for a friend.
Died several times in the first section. Memories of Ghosts 'n' Goblins NES.

Similar but not as rigid. But the game is very much two parts Rastan, one part Ghouls & Ghosts.
Pretty sure the game is drm free on steam.
Steam is the DRM here.

It´s time to educate yourself:
http://steam.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_DRM-free_games
Aside of that, Volgarr is fantastic, but for some reason I really suck at it, I still have not completed the first level... I was never that good in arcade games but damn, I have completed Contras and Castlevanias back in my day (but the problem is that back then I played once and again, and with Volgarr I just play from time to time as I do with most videogames nowadays, I guess that's the big difference).

Set aside an hour and take your time with each encounter. Learn their patterns and figure out the best way to beat them. The level up to that point will be a piece of cake.
I remember being annoyed because the game 'forced me' to keep it running lest I repeat the whole stage again. Checkpoints without saves are grim.
Don't take this list as gospel. VVVVVV is listed, and once was DRM free, but a later update integrated Steam's hooks and made the DRM mandatory.
You can skip to any stage you've previously beaten by heading left on the title screen and every stage afterwards. Very few people figure this out on their own, it seems.
It is the hardest game - with excellent controls and the ability to master - I've ever played.

I suuuuuck at this game, but it's still awesome. One of the best games of last year.
Cool game and not much to lose at the price IMO. But yeah, it is TOUGH.

I mean, it's technically hard, but it's really not that bad. You don't have to be some master gamer to handle it, you just need to take your time and learn how to deal with what's in front of you.
I was just trying to illustrate that Steam is not DRM by default. It´s time to stop blaming them when the problem has always been the lack of trust from companies.
Thanks, I'l give it a try.
I would also recommend zooming out to plan your moves before heading foward. This may allow you to kill enemies from a distance using a charged spear attack and avoid damage.
