If there is already a thread for this I apologize (I know of the general indie bundle thread but people have requested that we make new threads for each one as well, I searched and didn't find a thread for this bundle)

The new Indie Royale bundle is live

All of the games are Desura friendly, only Puzzle Agent, Geneforge Saga (actually 5 games) and Mutant Storm Reloaded are Steam friendly though. The codes are sent in the following way, all the games with steam codes have individual steam codes for each game, while it is just a single desura code for all of the games.

For those who don't know how the indie royale bundles work. As people buy the bundle the price goes up, when people pay over the average the price goes down. On average the bundle will cost around $5.50 or so (at least that is what most hover around)

and now for info on the games

Puzzle Agent
: Created with indie comic artist Graham Annable's unique narrative and visual sensibilities, delivered with the distinctive Telltale storytelling style, Puzzle Agent is sure to challenge, thrill and engage in more ways than you can shake a cryptogram at! Plentiful puzzles to challenge your neurons while investigating the strange, peculiar and mind-boggling to crack the case! Your discoveries provide clues to the larger mystery crippling the town, or uncover puzzles that must be solved to reveal answers...or even more questions.

Geneforge Saga: The Geneforge Saga contains all 5 of the classic Spiderweb Software titles in one great package!

Geneforge is a fantasy role-playing game with a science fiction twist. In Geneforge, you are free to choose what your overall goal is, and you can seek after it with your own horde of deadly, mutant monsters.

You are a Shaper, a member of the most powerful and secretive of the magical guilds. You have the power to create life and mold it to serve your own needs. For millennia, your world feared and respected the Shapers above all others. Their creations could go everywhere, do anything, all according to the wishes of the Shapers and no others.

If you need a servant, you simply create it, and it will gladly die for you.

But now the secrets of your people are at risk. Someone dares to try to steal the power of the Shapers and take it for his own. He has committed the ultimate crime: he has captured you, and he will do anything to get you to surrender your secrets.

Oniken: Oniken is a 2D platform action indie game that make use of 8-bit graphic style. My friend Pedro Paiva and I are putting a great effort to guarantee that this game feels really like an 8 bit classic. Everything on Oniken, from the character design to the music, is a tribute to the 8-bit action games from the NES era. So if you like old-school games be prepared for Oniken and remember... Oniken is NES hard!

By purchasing Oniken, you will also get with no extra charging Oniken´s Original Sound Track and Manual.

Mutant Storm Reloaded: Mutant Storm progresses over 89 levels of twin-stick shooter mayhem! As you get deeper, you are ever more overcrowded with nasty beasties. This carnival of frenetic fun is showcased in a cutting edge graphics extravaganza. Viewed from well above, you and your enemies can always be seen. Always be killed, and always be laughed at! There is no hiding. No tactics. No planning. No Net. Your enemies created this world and they sure ain’t gonna help you out! You like to play hard? Then the game gets harder. Feel like you're doing well? ... Enjoy it while it lasts!

SWIFT☆STITCH: Swift*Stitch is a game about going fast, taking the right route and trying not to crash.

UnEpic: Monsters, weapons, potions, spells, quests, pets, bosses, a giant castle... and a funny story! Unepic is a combination of platforming and role playing games. There are many hilarious references throughout the game. The game takes place in Harnakon, a huge medieval castle. It is set in the hardcore NES Style, yet refined with the latest features. This makes Unepic a very unique game. Daniel, the hero, is a normal guy from recent times: a great videogame player, big sci-fi movie fan, novice player of role playing games, pot-head and overall, horny due to a mysterious lack of success with girls. During a D&D session he is teleported to a fantasy castle where his modern way of thinking will go against monsters and other characters from there.

if you need more info there are trailers on the indie royale page. Anyways hopefully this thread turned out decently, Also I highly recommend people at least look into Unepic as it may not be on Steam, but it still looks like a solid game (I have only played a little) and I have been told by a number of people it's a solid game.
 
are the steam keys individual keys or a bundle key?

With the indie royale bundles the steam keys are individual but the desura key is for all of the games (and it seems that they have made it so it automatically gets applied to any accounts associated with the email you buy it with)

great, I am in the minority here but I usually keep the desura keys and gift/trade the steam keys to my friends

I never really heard of any of these except Puzzle Agent. Not sure if I wanna get it.

same here, I always wanted to play Puzzle Agent but I had no idea about the other games, anyways I watched some gameplay videos for the other games and to my surprise Oniken and Unepic looked really good, actually those 2 games sold me on this bundle

I tend to keep the desura ones and trade my steam ones as well.

and yeah oniken and unepic look nice, I played the demo for unepic before this and knew if it was ever in a bundle I was going to buy it. Both are unfortunately desura only though (if you have the unepic demo installed you will have to uninstall it, lose your saves and then install the full game before you can play the full version and register the bonus items... at least I had to lol)
 
Worth it for the Geneforge Saga alone.
Can someone confirm if the Steam versions of Geneforge work on Mac? It's a bit confusing right now, and according to Steam it is PC only.

Edit: It seems only the Desura versions are for Mac... shame. Will skip. :/

whats wrong with Desura? it's a nice service for indie games
 
I mentioned in the other thread about how Swift Stitch has become one of my favorite games of this year and I thought I'd mention it again here. I haven't gotten too far into (playing the iOS version) but so far it's like going through a series of mazes with obstacles thrown in along with collectibles. It also requires very fast reflexes and can get pretty difficult if you're trying to complete all three objectives that each level has. One for finishing, one for not crashing, and one for getting all the collectibles. Soundtrack is pretty good as well and I love the minimalist graphics.
 
the bonusmusic album is from a crazy japanese guy that wears a nes on his head and plays the piano. professor sakamoto is his name. gaf probably knows him. downloading the album as we speak.
 
Don't really care for any of these games (or have them already, as in Puzzle Quest), except for Unepic. Do these come in a pack or single codes?
 
is the game really that good? I already bougth the bundle but Geneforce is the least appealing game of the lot for me

They seem pretty solid to me, playing through the 3rd game atm. The hardest obstacle really I would say are the visuals, some people just cant get over the "archaic" visuals.

If you have any interest in old school rpgs or just a fan of western rpgs you cant go wrong.
 
I'm not really interested in these titles, but I welcome that they offer these titles without DRM. Much better than any Steam-locked mess.

a pack for desura keys, single steam keys and also DRM free installer, btw Unepic is not on steam
 
Ooh, I like the new look. Glad they finally have a game trailer going now. Kinda miss the neatly drawn platters that the games are resting on though...ah well.
 
How good are the games in this bundle? I'm very tempted to pick it up for Oniken, which was a game that was definitely on my radar. Also, I need a few more Desura games than just Postal 2 Complete & OpenArena.

Desura's patch procedure is practically broken for me for a few games. Updating Xenonauts to the latest version takes an average of 30 minutes for me. It just hangs and hangs on clerical tasks before the program finally decides on which files should be replaced/patched/whatever.

edit: Patches are fine in every other program, no HDD trouble, no malware.
 
Really, the 5 Geneforge games are all decently sized RPGs? I did end up with Avernum 4, 5, & 6 from a previous bundle, and I know the Geneforge games are from the same company. However, I have yet to play the Avernum games yet.

Yes they are all full length games and arguably the best work Vogel has done.

I know, I don't really care about not having stuff on Steam :) If anyone can't live with no-steam games and needs to get rid of Unepic, send me the key :P
 
How does Geneforge compare to Avadon in terms of story? (I assume the gameplay is either close to the same, or slightly more primitive)

I picked up Avadon a-ways back but ended up getting bored with it after about 10 hours or so. It just got repetitive and didn't really feel like it was going places in regards to the story.
 
Is Oniken worth it?

Puzzle Agent seems really similar for some reason

YES !

I mean ... if you loved the NES days of awesomeness .... OH YES !
Also :
It looks like Fist of the North Star inspired StriderContra, which are some of my favourite things all wrapped up in one thing. I bought it mainly for Geneforge and Unepic, but this is a pretty awesome surprise
 
So I picked this up. $5.40 for ten games is an extremely good deal. I have no keys to offer since I do retain a distrust for digital distribution and want redundancy for my digital games.
 
well I can trade my steam keys for games from previous indie packs (steam/desura I don't mind) as long as I like the offer
 
Bought this last night. I can't recommend Oniken enough. it is a great NES style sidescroller with tight controls. 360 pad worked right away. Good fun to be had.

I already had Mutant Storm, but I would recommend that to anyone who likes twin stick shooters. Haven't played the others yet.
