14 DAY TRIAL // After a bit of teasing earlier this week, Indie Royale has unveiled the five games that are part of its April Fools bundle, namely Defense Grid: The Awakening, Hack Slash Loot, Alien Zombie Megadeath, Astro Tripper, and Explodemon.
Indie Royale has kept on releasing special bundles of independent games every few weeks for quite some time and every package contained some impressive titles.
The April Fools Bundle is no different, bringing quite a few interesting games, including the stunning Defense Grid: The Awakening, as well as plenty of other titles from independent studios.
Check out the full details about each of them, as well as the platforms on which they’re available, below.
Defense Grid: The Awakening - Hidden Path Entertainment's acclaimed, futuristic tower-defense game for Windows on Steam, Desura, and DRM-free. Defense Grid includes the free Borderlands expansion built into the main game, and we're also adding Steam keys for all four Resurgence map packs as a special bonus. (They're also bundled into Defense Grid Gold, via Desura key and DRM-free.)
Hack, Slash, Loot - Gooey Blob's accessible, retro turn-based dungeon crawler for Windows and Mac in a Steam debut, Windows and Linux on Desura, and Windows/Mac/Linux DRM-free. True to the Roguelike genre, dungeons randomly generate, providing a unique experience every time, as players uncover thousands of items to loot and monsters to hack and slash, accompanied by attractive retro pixel art.
Alien Zombie Megadeath and Astro Tripper - PomPom Games offers a pair of frantic shooter titles in the form of Alien Zombie Megadeath and Astro Tripper for Windows on Steam, Desura, and DRM-free. In Alien Zombie Megadeath, players attack, dodge, and perform gloriously intense tasks while playing as 'ill-fated spacemen'. And in an update for to the award-winning Space Tripper from the talented UK studio, Astro Tripper affords players a tiny ship against hoards of other crafts and big bosses.
Explodemon - The final featured game is Curve Studios' incendiary 2D platformer for Windows on Desura and DRM-free. The title is an explosive homage to SNES-era platformers mixed with a modern physics-puzzle twist - and this hidden gem actually started development before the similar 'Splosion Man was revealed. And watch out for an Indie Royale-exclusive bonus related to this game a little later in the bundle. Last but not least, those who get the April Fools Bundle and pay above the minimum price will also receive Sexy Synthesizer’s Japanese ‘80s-style chip album called Rock: Deluxe Edition.
