14 DAY TRIAL // The Humble Bundle is back with yet another great weekly sale, this time around bringing six great procedurally generated games that revolve around dying repeatedly in order to become their master.
The Humble Weekly Bundle Roguelikes 2 offers six roguelikes, indie darlings that can give you a lot of mileage, and a ton of fantasy action.
The "pay what you want tier" brings three games, starting with Vertical Drop Heroes HD, a procedural platformer / dungeon crawler hybrid that relies on strategy, timing and reflexes, and offers a variety of skills and traits to use against the unforgiving monsters in the dungeon.
The second title is A Wizard's Lizard, a top-down dungeon crawler with a retro-inspired styling, based on epic classics like Gauntlet and The Legend of Zelda, as well as modern masterpieces like The Binding of Isaac.
The Nightmare Cooperative is the third title offered at the base level, a strategic party-based strategic roguelike with stylish visuals where you control a group of adventurers looking for fame and fortune. The game includes some puzzle elements, as well as permadeath, procedurally generated levels, and a lot of fantasy swashbuckling.
A lot of rogulike action
Gamers willing to pay more than the average amount paid so far for the bundle can also get their hands on Road Not Taken, Spryfox's roguelike puzzle game. The title comes from the makers of mobile hit Triple Town, and features deceptively cute cartoonish visuals, randomly generated levels, and a lot of challenges to overcome.
The second game offered at the second tier is Delver, currently available on Steam Early Access, developer Priority Interrupt's first-person action roguelike. The game features "crunchy pixels" and a lot of perilous foes lying in wait in the dark, and it's your job to guide the hero through the dimly lit dungeons and see him to safety.
If you liked Ultima Underworld, this is definitely something to check out, as it's pretty fun, at least from a mechanical standpoint.
Finally, gamers willing to pay $8 / €7.5 or more can also unlock Heavy Bullets, a randomized first-person shooter dungeon crawler with neon visuals. The game is unforgiving and has been compared to a first-person Spelunky, requiring judicious use of resources and smart movement in order to avoid death.
